Timini Egbuson, a Nigerian actor, has described how the church betrayed him, prompting him to leave and never return.
The 35-year-old, who revealed this in an interview with Lilian Afegbai, stated that he left the church because of the betrayal.
According to the film star, many people pretend in church, which is why he decided to leave the church and develop a personal relationship with God.
I feel like me and God have a personal relationship. I’ve been betrayed by the church in the past. Like, I was a full church boy. In my teenage years, I used to preach in the main church on Sundays. Everything you think I have now in terms of swag and whatever, it was in church that I learned it.
Then I went to some other churches. But I just realized that there are a lot of pretences. And I know it’s not a reason to stop going because obviously. So basically you know, it’s just a thing where I was just like okay let me find this man called God on my own. And that’s what we are doing right now.
There’s someone I’m seeing, or talking to, right now that introduced me to this whole Bible plan. I mean, sometimes I just lie to her when she asks “have you checked it this morning?”
In terms of reading the Bible again and all that, I’m not really there yet but like a one-on-one relationship with my God.
Talking to him saying “how far baba? This is what I’m doing” and He’s been helping me make the best decisions so far. And it’s calm.
