Unfortunately to him when three days arrived, his followers dug the grave and found him dead.

Some people who reacted to the post above, opined that James Sakala actually desired to die. Also, that this act has proved that there's no one like Jesus Christ.

People have their different perspectives about things or issues. While some people agree to certain ways of worshipping God, others disagree. A gospel singer known as Tomiwa Immanuel has taken to his social media page to say that praying to Mary is a big error and it's Idol Worshipping.

It is not a debatable fact that Catholic Church is the most populated and one of the oldest churches in the world. It began from Rome, which is why it was called the 'Roman Catholic Church'. It contributed crucially to the western Civilization.

Like every other Christian denomination, Catholic Church has it's own unique way of worshipping. For instance, they(Catholics) are known for beginning their Prayers with the sign of the Cross on their forehead. Also, Catholics believe in the blessed virgin Mary, interceding for them. Which is why often times, they ask Mary to pray for them. However, this not the case of other denominations.

The gospel singer, Tomiwa Immanuel, seems to be uncomfortable with this practice. According to him, it is not wise for a believer to ask another believer (Mary) to pray for him. And that praying to holy Mary is error and Idol Worshipping.

This post has generated a lot of controversial comments on Twitter. Many people kicked against the content and said that the poster doesn't know what is inside the calling of Mary. According to them, Catholics don't pray to Mary but asking Her to intercede for them.While on the other hand, some persons support the post. See screenshot of some of the comments below:
