The god of football

Football is a game
It is famous, admiring and patronizing across the globe
The game of football continue to dominate many spheres of life
Many people consider it as their source of entertainment, happiness and riches!

Football is a god in this world
It has many devout worshippers
These worshippers mostly honour it with their time and money
Their devotion to football is greater than their devotion to the Lord God Almighty.

The god of football is ignorantly being exalted above the true God
This is a great error and idolatory
The error is in honouring the god of football more than the true God
The idolatry is in spending most of one’s time and thinking on football.

No one can serve the god of football and the true God
A person will hate one and love the other
That person will be loyal to one and despise the other
No person can serve the true God and the god of football.
