STOP CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS BECAUSE IT IS UNSCRIPTURAL – MFM Founder Warns Christians

The General Overseer, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr Daniel Olukoya, has described Christmas as unbiblical, which is why his church doe not celebrate it.


He disclosed this during Wednesday’s Manner Water Service which coincided with the 2019 Christmas celebration at the Church’s Headquarters in Lagos.


Olukoya said no book in the Bible recorded the word ‘ Christmas’ or that Jesus was born on December 25.


He explained that the Bible only recorded that the Shepherds were taking care of their flocks during a very cold season when they sighted the star that announced the birth of Jesus Christ.


This cold period, according to him, could be around April or May.


The General Overseer said December 25 was a date originally set aside by the ancient Romans for Mars festival by the worshippers of the sun, pointing out that the birth of Christ was subsequently coopted into the same date to give the Mars festival more popularity.


He warned Christians to stop promoting the celebration of Christmas, explaining that the MFM church had decided to henceforth engage members in various spiritual activities during such periods and other public holidays to discourage them from partaking in such unscriptural celebration.
