Call it what you like, a Divine intervention? A plain luck? A Demonic intervention, may be; after-all, all things material belong to Satan (recall the last temptation of Christ, if you will fall down and worship me)? But nomenclatures aside, when did the church turn away from its principal function of winning and keeping souls for Jesus and become a band of gamblers, who stake lotteries and possibly blackjacks etc? Who knows if their gambling enterprise includes horse-race betting, bookkeeping and funding casino trips by their gambling-members? Who knows how much they have lost over the years, trying to hook the proverbial whopper? No matter the explanation, Icheoku says, $70,000 lottery win by 'The Covenant Life Worship Center' Haslett, Michigan cannot and will not wash away the sins committed by these congregation for engaging in acts considered immoral by the church of which they are a signatory, being a church.

According to our findings, the Covenant Life Worship Center exists to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom, equip and empower the believer to do the work of ministry, while aiming to better the total man all to the glory of God. It is clear from their mission statement, that gambling is not part of what they do or stand for or represent; which begs the question, through which member did Satan enter the church to tempt them with his earthly things? Also why did they forget to command as Jesus did, "go behind us, Satan"?
Finally, Icheoku asks, 'what would Jesus Christ do to these gals and guys of 'The Covenant Life Worship Center' Haslet Michigan, who have turned his church into a den of gamblers?

it is anti-christianity for a church to engage in gambling! it does not matter that they won, they should not have engaged in such act. well done icheoku for braving this aspect of the lottery windfall.
