“I had a customer who used to shop with me a lot. I had to replace her. Why? Her store was always locked. I said, 'Ma'am, I've been coming to your store for a while, but I'm not always here.' And she said, 'I went to church. There was a program at church.'”

Desire Don Robinson commented:
“I completely agree with what the pastor said. This is what I teach my church members. God created us on this earth to work. In fact, work is an act of worship to God. Faith must go hand in hand with work. Otherwise, it is a dead faith.”
Robert Kehinde wrote:
“Who would force an adult to spend all their working time at church if it weren't stupid? Evoking emotions doesn't affect me. Work hard and serve God well, but remember to do everything in moderation.”
Joseph Odei Atcha tweeted:
“Is it a waste of time to spend quality time with God because his church is only X? Something is not going to chase Una.”
Prince Okeyere said:
“Working nonstop from January to December does not make a person rich. There is the material world and the spiritual world, and some people are spiritually poor.”
