In the Old Testament, counselling is used as a medium to helping someone in distress, proffer solutions and give necessary insights to solving problems. Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt without an administrative plan of overseeing the large congregation of the Israelites community. The study examined Jethro's counsel to Moses in Exodus 18:17-23 and lessons for Nigerian Pentecostal Church Leaders in. The workloads on Nigerian Indigenous Pentecostal Church Leaders in Ilorin Metropolis are enormous, and as a result pose threat to their health, effective church administration and wellbeing as Church Leaders. The study adopted exegetical, historical and participatory observation methods. It was discovered that Indigenous Pentecostal Church Leaders in Ilorin Metropolis engage in several activities such as the Church weekly services and the Sunday services. They also chair and oversee virtually all units in the Church, and hold important leadership position among other Christian fellowship in their neighbourhoods. Therefore, the study recommended that the Nigerian Indigenous Pentecostal Church leaders in Ilorin Metropolis should engage in division of labour among members for effective church administration and reduction in health hazard.

This link is what can be termed worship. Worship is a way man keeps a close contact with his Creator. Christian worship takes different modes and practices depending on the system adopted in various denominations today. For instance, African Indigenous Churches (AICs) have a flare for worship as they are seen to portray their sincerity through rigorous dancing, clapping, and tapping of their feet, contrary to some Pentecostal churches where worship is Eurocentric. Similarly, economic realities in the Nigerian society have impacted Christian worship especially in the attitudes of AICs members. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to examine the impact of the Nigerian economic realities on Christian worship: A case of AICs. Thus, the paper adopted historical, descriptive and participatory observation methods. It was discovered that the economic realities in the Nigerian society has made many of the AICs members to look after making more income to relieve the economic burden, thus, resulting into members absenteeism from Churches, and having divided attention during worship. The study recommended that AICs members should be industrious and cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit to combat economic maladies, and should not jeopardize the true form of Christian worship due to the economic downturn.
