Apostle Michael Orokpo has clarified his personal stance on football, stating, “Football is not a sin, but I do not have time for it.”
Speaking during a recent message, Apostle Orokpo explained that he does not consider football to be sinful. Rather, he said his demanding schedule and commitment to prayer, Bible study, ministry, and other kingdom responsibilities leave him with little or no time to follow the sport.
His remarks have generated conversations among Christians, with many appreciating the distinction between personal priorities and biblical commands. Some viewed his statement as an encouragement for believers to carefully manage their time and focus on the assignments they believe God has given them, while others noted that recreational activities can be enjoyed in moderation without compromising one’s faith.
The comments have also sparked broader discussions about Christian liberty, stewardship of time, and balancing entertainment with spiritual growth and personal responsibilities.
As the conversation continues, Apostle Orokpo’s statement has encouraged many believers to evaluate their priorities, ensuring that their use of time reflects their values, calling, and commitment to God.
