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. Iâve 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 itâs not a reason to stop going because obviously. So basically you know, itâs just a thing where I was just like okay let me find this man called God on my own. And thatâs what we are doing right now.
Thereâs someone Iâm 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 âhave you checked it this morning?â
In terms of reading the Bible again and all that, Iâm not really there yet but like a one-on-one relationship with my God.
Talking to him saying âhow far baba? This is what Iâm doingâ and Heâs been helping me make the best decisions so far. And itâs calm.
