Mixed reactions have greeted what
many members of the the public termed a decision to hold a beauty pageant in
the church this Sunday. But the church has since taken to its official Facebook
to explain the concept behind what is perceived to be a beauty pageant.
It explained that the competition
tagged Queen Esther pageant competition is geared towards selecting an
ambassador for the church.
“The evening usually features the
parade and display of beautiful women in costumes inspired by popular female
bible characters. The contestant with the most creative costume is then crowned
as the Queen Esther and gets a cash prize of one million naira,” the post read.

That is still rubbish sir bcos it attracts monetary rewards.
ReplyDeleteIt should ve been competition to win souls for christ rather than earthly beauty queen. Things of God is very serious. Hell is real o.
ReplyDeleteTrue talk here!
DeleteAm surprised. Chris Okotie can come out and justify his action concerning d hosting of Beauty Peageant in his church. D end is really closer than we think.
ReplyDeletehmmm God dey
ReplyDeleteI dnt see any need 4 dat,dey shuld compete to win souls really
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless...
ReplyDeleteThe king that hosted the beuty peageant that selected Esther as queen was not a Jew , & so beuty contest was not an accepted practice for the children of God at that time, nor for christians.
ReplyDeleteWhat will be the criteria for choosing the supposed queen Esther??? Just thinking aloud!!
ReplyDeleteTotal nonsense
ReplyDeleteIf u wnt an ambassador 4 ur church,u shud pray abt it and God wl tel u who d person is.Dis can be done if u r really a servant of God.
ReplyDeleteIs time to stop lesting to dis man called chris
ReplyDeleteYou cannot chose a beauty queen without having lustful look at the woman. Okotie is either looking for another wife or he is got another motive that he is hiding. I am catholic and I believe that is a sin to say that one is ugly because that person is a God's creature.
ReplyDeleteOkotie if you find another wife from your beauty competition in your ( CHURCH ) hahahahahaha O boy you will still divorce because you don't know what it takes to have a wife.
ReplyDeletethat is ridiculous. This man is mad.
ReplyDeleteThe fact still remains that a beauty pageant in the 'house of God' for a church ambassador is highly unscriptural. And yet,you accuse Catholics of unscriptural practices ,insisting on Bible Alone. This issue is indeed funny...With all these some people are still sitting in those pews???? Ignorance is really a disease.
ReplyDeleteWell, this man is doing what he thinks goes down well with d type of people he pastors. Likes attracts likes. That is their business.
ReplyDeleteMay God save u n ur congregations chris.
