A church that does not clap, dance or take offerings

Any gathering where people clap and dance paves way for the devil's penetration - Ven. Adeniyi Oluwabiyi

A cleric and the minister in charge of the Holy Flock of Christ Church, Ibadan Oyo State, Venerable Adeniyi Oluwabiyi has explained why clapping and dancing isn't allowed in his church.

Ven Adeniyi Oluwabiyi


In a chat with Nigeria Tribune, he said it a part of their doctrine. 

"In our church, we don't clap. We have a way of expressing our joy. We say people expressed their joy while clapping in the church but Satan will come in to do otherwise. 

In other churches where people go to the extreme by falling down all in the name of prophesying or seeing visions. No one falls down here. Any gathering where people clap, dance and fall uncontrollably paves way for the devil's penetration and manipulations. 

We don't collect any form of offering in the church in other to observe the Sabbath day and keep his holy. The congregation go out to drop their offerings and return into the church for blessings. You can not see members spraying or pelting money on one another in the church." He said.

The state was formally recognised by Gabon, Haiti , Ivory Coast , Tanzania and Zambia.
