The President, Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Supo Ayokunle, has decried what he described as the reigns of impunity in churches saying Christians are being molested by satanic elements as a result of careless lifestyle.
Among other vices, Ayokunle lamented the prevalence of sexual immorality, gluttony, and financial impropriety in churches in the land saying these are evidence of ungodliness.
Ayokunle, who doubles as the President of Baptist Convention, spoke during a virtual convention of the church on Saturday.
According to him, rather than serve God, many Christians, especially church leaders, now worship money.
He expressed shock that Christians now live as unbelievers, adding, “The church is in a state where lack of discipline has led to many instances of sexual immorality, gluttony, financial impropriety, laziness and court cases.
“The name of the Lord is being maligned in our society today because of the way Christians are behaving. Obscene dressing and all forms of impurities are happening in our midst.
“Some Christians cannot be trusted for any noble assignment. There appears to be no difference between them and the unbelievers.
“Money has become the god of some Christians, including Church leaders. What a shame to the Church. The Lord of the Church is sad concerning the state of the Church.
“We are robbed of our powers and molested by the children of Satan because of our careless living.
“It is through discipline that we would remain holy and enter the kingdom of God. Hence, this year’s Convention is a call to self-examination as individuals, family, church, Convention.”
