It's not enough that you can recite all the verses of whatever religion you

practice when morality never governs your action.

In our country today, churches and ministries are being established on a daily,
virtually everyone is filled by the spirit and called by God, yet crime and
corruption is at its peak. If we all convert our homes to churches, who would be
the congregation? Tell me.

we have more churches than schools and hospitals yet morality is falling like our
naira. We are very religious yet it cannot be seen in the society. At some point I
ask whether the society is being occupied by different set of people that worship
at various worship centers.

Africa is one of the most religious continent and sadly the most backward, the most
corrupt, the most hateful. According to the media, anything bad and diabolic has
its origin from Africa.

We worship Him yet we hate, we cannot find joy with the happiness of another, our
heart cannot be as radiant as the smile we willingly give or the worship dresses we
put on to worship. If your heart is to be made a show glass, will you be proud of
what would be seen?

We are all humans, if you cannot do good for religion, do it for God. If by chance
you happen not to believe in Him, then do it for humanity. There's more to life
than violence. Vices have never been a virtue.

This message is like a double edged sword. Let's try and live right. For humanity
sake, let your conscience rule.
