Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode has knocked her colleagues who are overusing the ‘Holy Spirit, carry me’ trend.
On her Instagram page, she said it is absolutely okay for us to ask the Holy Spirit to carry them; however, she doesn’t like seeing some captions like, ‘Holy Spirit no carry me because of my nyash, weight and others.
She questioned whether they were aware of who they were talking about and admonished them to be careful and not reduce something sacred to a joke.
“It’s absolutely okay for us to ask the Holy Spirit to carry us; that’s a powerful prayer and a beautiful song.
What I don’t quite understand are some of the captions that are turning it into a cruise.
Seeing captions like Holyspirit no carry me because of my big nyash, because I get weight, because he no like small things, makes me cringe.
Do we know who we’re talking about here? The Holyspirit?!
Please, let’s be careful.
Let’s not reduce something sacred to a joke.
Please, let’s honour and revere the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not for trends or a punchline for attention. Let’s honour Him.
I know we like to joke and catch cruise online, and sometimes it’s really just vibes. But I’ve been feeling a bit uncomfortable, we Christians take too many things with levity, people of other religions wouldn’t dare mention the name of their prophet or god without honour.
We throw the name of JESUS around with no regard for the Holy Spirit? No, please, it’s a NO!!!!! NO!!!!!!
Everything can’t always be fun and games, not when it concerns Someone so precious, not when it concerns THE HOLYSPIRIT.
For me personally, we can make jokes, do fun things, and be joyful without being careless.
Just sharing my heart”.
