It is a generation of unsaved people and carnal worship “dealers”, all of whom market their singing skills to the highest bidder.

…what is the root cause of this problem? The church, our fathers, and the society at large, are responsible for this menace. First, there is a dearth of genuine disciples in the church. A lot of the people parading themselves as Christians are either unsaved or extremely carnal people.

We have lost it completely in this aspect of our service to God, and the earlier the fathers in the land stand up to this menace, the better for the next generation. Who are these worship dealers? They are many of our brothers and sisters whose faces adorn fliers and posters in our conferences and meetings. They are the products of our churches. Sadly, many of them have turned their backs to God, blatantly violating the tenets of His word as ministers of Christ that they all claim to be.

According to our discussions, these praise and worship leaders also told me that aside from the sacrifices of these pastors, which they acknowledge, their own labour and sacrifices as worship leaders also contribute to the growth of these churches. They told me that as they seat in church every Sunday to listen to the mouth-watering financial successes of the pastors and the churches, they feel used and abandoned. We’ve gotten families too, they told me.
