Rating: 5.0


The gospel of the Lord,
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
Only the homily ought to proceed
But no, it must be sermon
Look at the church opposite
Is it Winners Chapel?
Are we poorer than they are
that we cannot interlock our compound
When they have interlocked theirs?

Praise the Lord!
Allelua!
You see now, we are behind others
Christ Embassy down the street
Just acquired five new foreign speakers
And here we are, we the Redeem,
We are launching that project today
By next week, we will acquire ten
Some say Amen!

Holy Ghost... fire!
Look at the Anglican communion
Nearby, the Venerable just acquire a prado
Look at me your pastor, I'm struggling with
A jalopy
Are we that poor?
Is our God a poor God?

Through Christ our Lord
This building is no longer befitting
It is too small
Look at Dunamis
Look at Omega fire
Look at Mountain of fire
We are going to build the largest
Rome will hear it
Vatican will see it.
Glory to Jesus... honour to Mary and Joseph!

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu, Devil's Advocate

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

The out of context tithing doctrines, the stage-managed testimonies,  and the miracle faking sprees are the lifelines of their dubious enterprise. An insightful piece of poetry. .

You've aptly captured these men of crafty pretense in religious ropes. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched...
