Because of the poor economic condition in Nigeria, many pastors today have deviated from the gospel as it was at the beginning. They have to fight for survival. Secondly, because of the large number of churches, pastors have to devise enthralling strategies to win flocks, religion have been decentralised and very competitive, so pastors have to be very ingenious. They remove what God wants man to do in their gospels and preach only what God would do for them. Their message is prosperity, not poverty, flamboyance rather than modesty, indulgence and never chastity. What they sing to cover what they do is ‘Me I no go suffer, I no go beg for food. God of miracle na my papa o…’ Is such song not an insult to God? They go for broke to attract the big men; they water down the gospel in order to please their benefactors. They tell the big men what they want to hear and not the truth. They offer soothing balms to gloss over their iniquities.
