The senior pastor of Harvesters International Christian Centre in Lagos, Nigeria, Pastor Bolaji Idowu, has challenged Christians to reconsider their use of social media if it is affecting their happiness.
Reevaluating social media use is crucial for preserving happiness in one’s life. Pastor Bolaji says if social media is making it harder for believers to be joyful, they should think about unplugging.
Pastor Bolaji thinks that social media can be a double-edged sword in the current digital era.
Although it provides a forum for community and connection, overuse can result in jealousy, comparison, and low self-esteem—all of which are depressing.
Many Christian leaders who support a moderate approach to social media agree with Pastor Bolaji’s counsel.
Through his teachings, he urged believers to focus on social media while developing a closer relationship with God and leading a fulfilling life.
