The General Overseer of The World International Christian Centre, Wonders Chapel, Bayo Olayemi, a Nigerian cleric, has expressed concern over how Nigerians waste economic hours in church.
In a viral video, he advised Nigerians to refrain from spending their working hours at religious places seeking miracles.
He noted that despite Nigeria’s economic challenges, many people are still surviving, especially those who are diligent in their businesses or jobs.
Olayemi criticized the practice of spending excessive hours at religious places, labeling it as “economic hours.” He emphasized that it is wrong to shut down a business in the name of serving God.
He also stated that God is not as strict as some Nigerians perceive Him to be, and that God does not punish people for working on Saturdays and Sundays.
He cited the example of medical professionals, such as doctors and nurses, who work on weekends to save lives, highlighting the importance of engaging in business activities and not wasting time in church.
Olayemi said, “Engage in Business. Stop wasting economic hours in church. God is not wicked; He has blessed us. Look at the great weather and vegetation.

Some people go into the mountains on the 31st of May and come back on the 8th of June. Which God are you begging?
Is He so wicked? If she has a shop and locks it for eight days, expecting transformation, and considers that faithfulness.
If you are abroad, you go to work and clock in. People work on Sunday; God will never send them to hell because of working on Sunday.
What about doctors and nurses? He prayed overnight, got to the office, and started dozing. They should sack you; you are not faithful. Why should you be dozing during official hours?”
The cleric’s message underscores the importance of balancing religious activities with productive work engagements to contribute positively to the economy and society.
