Rev Kesiena Esiri Questions Worshippers Who Record Themselves During Worship
Rev. Kesiena Esiri has sparked discussions both in churches and online after openly expressing concern about the rising trend of worshippers recording themselves during services.
Speaking at a recent meeting, Rev. Kesiena noted that many believers seem more interested in capturing worship moments for social media than genuinely connecting with God. While acknowledging that technology can be a powerful tool for sharing the gospel, he warned that it can also become a distraction from sincere and meaningful worship.
His remarks generated mixed reactions. Some worshippers agreed, saying the pressure to look spiritual online often leads to shallow or performative worship. Others, however, argued that sharing worship clips can inspire others and help spread the message of faith.
The conversation has since extended to social media, with many debating whether recording sacred moments enriches or diminishes the essence of worship.
Rev. Kesiena urged believers to examine their motives and place authentic devotion above digital presentation. As the discussion grows, some churches are now exploring ways to maintain reverence while still allowing room for personal expression.
