RCCG Churches in Filthy Environment

RCCG Churches in Filthy Environment

There is definitely something wrong with a church in a dirty and filthy unhygienic environment if the church fails to clean up the surroundings.
I actually look at churches on dirty streets with suspicion.
The dirty and filthy environment of a church is a bad testimony of the church and church goers.

From Barikisu Iyede Street, Onitiri in Yaba to the Redemption Way in Ebute Metta on the Lagos Mainland, there are many parishes of the most popular Pentecostal church in Nigeria, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), but they are located in nauseatingly filthy environments with heaps of refuse decorating the streets and loads of refuse dumped on the sidewalks and thrown into the gutters.
For over two years now, the heaps of refuse on the popular Barikisu Iyede Street in Onitiri leading to the University of Lagos in Akoka, have been there ignored by the waste disposal trucks of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and opposite a parish of the RCCG, there is a nauseating illegal refuse dump.
Even if the incompetent local government authority has failed to clean up the long street, the parishes of the RCCG there should make it part of their Corporate Social Responsibility to clean up their streets. It is sickening to see a church of the Almighty God known for holiness, orderliness and cleanliness surrounded by heaps of stinking refuse in a filthy environment of dirty residents indulging in unhygienic practises who are most likely the regular churchgoers.
The environment is an illustration of the residents.

The members of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) on Olasimbo Street and Olumo Street in Onike of the same Yaba district troop out every Sunday morning to clear all the heaps of refuse and clean up their streets. They have also resurfaced and covered the potholes on the streets of their church. And the passers by and residents are happy to join them in fellowship and worship. Good evangelism.
