Any gathering where people clap and dance paves way for devil’s penetration, Says Nigerian Cleric

Nigerian cleric and Minister-in-charge of Holy Flock of Christ Church, Ibadan, Oyo state, Venerable Adeniyi Oluwaniyi, has said that any gathering of people which involves clapping and dancing paves way for devil's manipulation and penetration. 

While speaking in a chat with Nigerian Tribune, the cleric affirmed that clapping and dancing are not allowed in his church. 

He noted that it was a doctrine in his church as they don't clap. 

Giving reasons, he said that people do express their joy while clapping in church but Satan do seize the atmosphere and do otherwise. 

"In other churches where people go to the extreme by falling down in the name of prophesying or seeing visions, no one falls down here. Any gathering where people clap and dance uncontrollably paves way for the devil’s penetration and manipulation.


"We don’t collect any form of offering in the church in order to observe the Sabbath and keep his temple holy. The congregation goes out to drop their offering and return into the church for blessings. You cannot see members spraying or pelting money on one another in the church,” he added.
