I Don’t Believe In The Church As An Edifice Or A Building – Nigerian Rapper, Vector Tha Viper Says (Video)

Renowned Nigerian rapper Vector Tha Viper has explained why he rarely attends church, stating that he does not view the church as merely a physical building.

Speaking in a recent episode of the BTC podcast, Vector explained that he believes in church as “a human being” not a building.

He claimed that the bible emphasises that God is more interested in human heart, stressing that the church is inside the person and not merely a building.

“I don’t believe in church as an edifice or a building. I believe in church as a human being. Because even the bible points to that fact that it is your heart that God is interested in.

“Also, I read a page alleged to be from Thomas and one of the statements read, ‘Behold, if the people that lead you tell you the kingdom is in the sky, then the birds of the sky preceed you. If they tell you the kingdom is in the waters, then the fishes preceed you.

“Rather, the kingdom is both inside of you and outside of you. If you know yourselves, you will become known and you would realise that you are the sons of the living Father. But if you would not know yourself, you will dwell in poverty and the poverty would be you’,” he expressed.

Vector added, “So, if the kingdom is in the church, then the alter is more important that you. The kingdom is a conglomerate of believers. But it is rooted in the individualism of your saving. So, you are saved individually by connecting to God.”

The rapper, however, noted that he isn’t against those who attend churches or dominations in Christendom.

How My Song Helped Someone at Psychiatric Home Out of Depression – Vector

Nigerian singer and rapper, Vector Tha Viper, has revealed how his hit song with Goodgirl LA, ‘Early Momo,’ helped someone out of depression.
According to him, the individual at a psychiatric home listened to his song and was able to come out of depression.
The ‘King Kong’ crooner made the claim while speaking about the impact of conscious music in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast.
He explained that musical success should be beyond charts, and focused on impacts on the lives of listeners.
“I can tell when people are going through a tough time because certain records come up on streams. Like the record with Seyi Vibez, ‘Mercy.’ When it pops up, you will know that people have started overthinking. And that is what music should really be. It should be spread across in such a way that whatever people are going through, they find the music to fit that purpose.
 
“Now, how do you say that is not successful because that’s not the chart? I released Early Momo and I got a message from a psychiatric home that said it helped somebody that was depressed… That’s a successful moment in somebody else’s life that I didn’t even intend to. So, success has different definitions,” Vector explained.
