Timini Egbuson: How The Church Betrayed Me

Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has revealed that the church betrayed him hence his decision to leave the church.

During an interview with Lilian Afegbai on her “Lilian’s Coach” YouTube show, Timini opened up on how and why he left the church.

According to him, he was a church boy who used to preach in the main churches when he was a teenager. He disclosed that as time went on, he realized that the church was full of pretenders. He disclosed that he decided to find God and have a personal relationship with him.

In his words;

‘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 pretenses. 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 I 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.
