Founder of Eastwood Anaba Ministries,
Reverend Eastwood Anaba, expresses concern about the overwhelming focus on entertainment in churches, emphasizing its potential to divert Christians from the core purpose of worship.
In a thought-provoking sermon, Rev. Anaba describes entertainment as the "oxygen of churches," suggesting that some would struggle to survive without it. He points out the pervasive influence of music and other forms of entertainment, remarking on the dependency that has developed.
The pastor recounts instances of prolonged entertainment during conventions, where ministers are surrounded by continuous performances. He humorously contrasts this with secular establishments, highlighting their clarity of purpose, such as a restaurant immediately offering a menu instead of a prelude of entertainment.
While acknowledging the acceptance of entertainment in churches, Rev. Anaba urges Christians not to neglect the essence of worship. He quotes biblical verses, cautioning against prioritizing extravagant entertainment over "the work of the Lord."
Challenging fellow clergy, the pastor questions the focus on miracles and spiritual encounters, urging a return to the core purpose of the church – to witness signs, wonders, healings, and spiritual dealings.
Rev. Anaba concludes by emphasizing the need for a balanced approach, where entertainment enhances rather than overshadows the primary purpose of the church.
