@TheSleemKing:”Them don dey call am king, na small small next few birthday na god them go call am.”

@Abills:This is not the same Pastor Chris I fell in love with on TV back in those days. So many things to say, but hmmmm! One of the things I wondered at when I was in this fold was why bloody African men would do their hair like white men? You want to be a different race so bad and it makes you look pitiable.”

@DralliSamuel:”This is idol worshipping No man who represent Christ should be treated this way Most Christians don’t know difference between honour and idolatry.”

@fadegun:”Pastor Chris is now king???? What exactly is happening in the Christian world??? God, please come fast!!!”

@Edenlife9:”If we are going with what Christ has made us, I’d prefer that all the entourage and invitees wore their royal regalia and crowns. This’ll depict the biblical position more explicitly. There should be no body-guards, angels and royal-servants/advisers.”

@tunmishe_:”Omo! LMAOO WHAT IS ALL THIS?”

@Victor Iphie:”Calling a pastor “king” may sound nice, but it shows how easily respect can turn into idol worship. There’s nothing wrong with appreciation, the problem starts when respect slowly becomes worship.”
