A church near Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho (LAUTECH) has received praise from a group of people known as “Yahoo Boys” for not condemning their activities, in contrast to other places of worship.
Chris Popoola, a former student pastor at the church, recounted the incident and clarified its implications by sharing his own experience.
Chris claims that the Yahoo Boys stopped coming to church services when he was a student pastor because the senior pastor of the church frequently criticized their actions.
These people flocked to another nearby church that did not condemn them for their actions in search of acceptance and understanding.
The surprising twist occurred when news spread that the Yahoo Boys had collectively purchased a noiseless generating set, commonly known as a “Mikano gen,” as a gesture of appreciation for the church that welcomed them without condemnation.
The new generator was intended to alleviate noise disruptions during services, thus demonstrating their gratitude.
Chris utilized this anecdote to highlight a deeper message about sinners’ search for validation and spiritual guidance.
He wrote;
“When I was a student Pastor in a church in Lautech Area, I remember how yahoo boys stopped coming to church and trooped en mass to this other church because my senior pastor would not stop warning them.
Not long,we heard yahoo boys bought Mikano gen for this other church. The point of my story is – sinners know where to go when they want to hear the truth of God’s word and they know where to go when they want validation.
Don’t let yourself be a motel for validating sinful lifestyle rather be the spot where they find conviction by the Holy Spirit.”
