Sarah Omakwu, the senior pastor of the Family Worship Centre (FWC), has cautioned her congregation against watching the ongoing Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show.
In a now-viral video, the Abuja-based pastor also queried Christians watching the show, adding that the BBNaija doesn’t “contribute to your spiritual growth”.
The fiery cleric claimed that the reality show is satanic and a deliberate attempt by the devil to wear out the spiritual defence of Christians.
“It has been brought to my attention that some of our members in the family worship center and Christians, in general, are watching the ongoing Big Brother Nigeria programme,” she said.
“So let me start by asking you a few questions. Will Jesus watch Big Brother Nigeria?.
“Is the Holy Spirit happy to sit with you and watch the programme? Or has he cautioned you a few times and decided to leave you?
“How is Big Brother Nigeria adding virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, brotherly kindness and love to you? How is it making you fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ?
I want you to know that Satan is strategic. He is deliberate and patient. I doubt that the Big Brother project was planned in Heaven’s boardroom. It means it was planned outside of God.”
Omakwu also claimed that the purpose of the show transcends entertainment, adding that it is an effective tool used by satan to influence the minds of the public.
“There is a plan and there is a target. You are the target. No, it is not just entertainment. The plan of the enemy is to keep pushing the boundaries. Step by Step. Little by little until the lines completely disappear,” she added.
“Your defence and resistance wear out and you begin to practice what you see there and behold, Sodom and Gomorrah is upon you.
If you notice, the Big Brother of five years ago is not like what they are showing now.”
Omakwu’s admonishment comes a few days after Gospel Agochukwu, the general overseer of Shekina Area Gospel Ministry, said Christians who watch the reality TV show are killing themselves spiritually.
