Kissing On The Altar During Weddings Is An Unscriptural, Unholy Conduct- Bishop Insists

The Bishop of Niger Delta West Diocese, Rt Rev. (Dr) Emmanuel Oko-Jaja, has declared that the act of kissing ones bride at the altar during wedding is a sin.

According to him, allowing couples to go through the process in church during their wedding service is unscriptural and therefore be discouraged.

Oko-Jaja said that unwholesome practices taking place in churches during matrimonial services promotes immorality and corrupt the mind of especially teenagers that are in church to witness the practice.

The cleric said this while delivering a sermon during the child presentation and Thanksgiving Service at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Biogbolo in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Sunday.

He said that the act of allowing groom to kiss the bride in the full glare of both the young and old persons emanated from the teachings of false prophets.

He called on all true believers to jealously guard against the antics of fake gospel preachers.

“The practice where couples are allowed to kiss in the church during wedding service is unscriptural. I wish to direct clergymen and church workers in this Diocese to guard against such unholy conducts.

“According to the scriptures, the church is not supposed to serve as a place meant to promote immorality but encourage people to uphold and practice Christian virtues with a view to winning souls for Christ.”

How to Send a PayPal Link for Payment

If you have a PayPal account, people can send you money using your PayPal login email address associated with the account, but that can be cumbersome to tell people in many situations. You can also set up a special PayPal Link, through PayPal's PayPal.Me service, that people can click on to send you money. How PayPal Payment Links Work You can set up a special link associated with your PayPal account where if people click on it, they will be sent to a PayPal prompt to send you money and shown your profile picture to verify that you are the right person they intend to pay.

Chelsea Or Arsenal Might Win The League - Riyad Mahrez

The Etihad club's forward refuses to write off the challenge of any of the teams in the Premier League's top four Riyad Mahrez says any of the top four teams can win the Premier League - despite Manchester City's domination of the title race. The champions and league leaders put further pressure on the chasing pack with their battling win at Watford on Tuesday night. A 2-1 success put them five points clear of second-placed Liverpool and 10 in front of Chelsea in third ahead of Wednesday night's action. Mahrez, scorer of City's second at Vicarage Road, will not write off his team's rivals, however. While Liverpool can close the gap to two points by winning at Burnley, when asked by CityTV about the gulf between the Etihad outfit and Chelsea, he said: "Of course, everyone in the top four can win the league." Pep Guardiola’s men held their nerve as Watford made a sustained late effort for an equaliser. And Mahrez, 27, believes it was the kind of...

Messi Is Better Than Ronaldo – Ex Real Madrid Manager

Former Real Madrid manager, Vicente Del Bosque, believes Barcelona star Lionel Messi is superior to Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to who is the greatest player in this generation. WATCH VIDEO: WHO IS THE WORLD'S BEST? MESSI vs RONALDO Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated the football landscape in the last decade, with the pair winning the Ballon d’Or award five times apiece. Both players have, therefore, often divided opinion among fans when it comes to picking the best player in this generation. Indeed, while some prefer Messi, others also believe Ronaldo is the better player, as the debate continues to rumble on. Although Vicente Del Bosque is yet to manager either player, the experienced coach has made his pick on which footballer is more talented. Del Bosque described Ronaldo as an extraordinary goal scorer but believes Messi is more natural and has picked the Argentine as the superior player. The former Real Madrid boss told Mundo Deportivo, as q...

My hair rescue experience: how I stopped baldness!

Hi, I'm Prince Daniel! I'd like to recommend something to men. Since everyone writes about the beauty of lady's hair, the guys have no other option than go bald! The truth is, mind you not many women are aware of this, we are scared of going bald sooner or later. And I am no exception! I started losing my hair when I just turned 25. By 30, I already had a huge bald spot. First I switched to different hair products, then I changed my haircut, then I gave up. Nothing helped me! To be honest, I was about to shave my head. But my wife said we will fight the problem. Our battle for my hair First, my wife insisted, convinced and went with me to see a specialist to talk about my hair and scalp. We spent quite a bit of money for tests and it took several weeks of our time. But in the end, the specialist who had years of experience simply shrugged and said the problem was due to my family history and there is nothing to do about it ... But my wife said she won't give up. A...

Champions League: Arsene Wenger reveals why Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-0

Former Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger has revealed why Liverpool lost 3-0 to Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi final against Barcelona on Wednesday. Wenger said Jurgen Klopp’s men collapsed in the final 15 minutes of their 3-0 defeat. Liverpool will need a miracle at Anfield next week after a Lionel Messi’s second half brace and a Luis Suarez opener saw Barca take control of the semi-final tie. The Reds fought hard and wasted opportunities before Messi scored the first of his two goals in the 75th minute of the match. The Argentine forward produced a stunning free-kick eight minutes later to beat Alisson and ensure Barcelona have one foot in the Champions League final. Wenger told beIN Sports, “It was hard for Liverpool tonight. “But, I must say, Barcelona suffered in the second half until they scored the second goal, then Liverpool collapsed. “There was two important things that happened tonight. First, when they suffered Ernesto Valverde made a good change. “He bro...

Lionel Messi tells Barcelona favourite to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus

Lionel Messi has told his favourite at Barcelona to sign for Juventus and join Cristiano Ronaldo doing the upcoming summer. Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has been looking for an exit from Catalonia of late, and confirmed to the public that he will be moving to greener pastures during the summer. The Netherlands international wanted to leave last year, but the club did convince him into staying for another season and go next year- and so he did. Jasper Cillessen has served Barcelona critically and endlessly throughout his career and lately, especially in this season, he has proven that he is too good to be second choice and could easily be a regular only if he did not have a mercurial Marc Andre Ter Stegen ahead of him. They bet in the dressing room that Cillessen will stay, but he looks set to leave and wants to play often at 30. Following his most recent remarks regarding his future in Catalonia, Diario GOL has reported that Jasper Cillessen has a foot and a hal...
