What is Nairaland's agenda? I can only deduce that there is something in the church of Jesus Christ that ticks the owners off.
Perhaps,it is the presence of the Spirit of God,whom the world does not know,and can never understand.
And for the foolish christians that go about bashing their constituency and exposing their family matters to the public,I pity you.

Are you saying the pastors should continue to feed and grow fat while the congregation starves and grows lean?
The church is on its last legs and it can not continue like this forever. There will either be a drastic change in the church ethics or it will die a natural derath if threse greedy men of God continue in their gluttony.

Richvkunt: Nice thread OP.
I opened a thread on this section to discuss the proliferation of churches in the land and yet there is so much corruption and evil in the land. A fanatic came on that thread to call me an idle fellow for being able to notice the number of religious houses on a street. The pitiable fact is that the church in Nigeria has completely lost the plot,as the so called pastors and daddy GOs are as much a part of the corruption and wickedness as the politicians.
Was in a church recently and the evil pastor was fleecing the poor congregation as usual-the congregation was being coerced to each buy a bundle of native broom that sells for fifty Naira in the open market for two thousand Naira. The purpose of buying the broom was to sweep all forms of sorrow and misery and sin out of the congrregations households. You needed to see the scramble as poor members of the congregation bought these brooms and indirectly contributed to pastorpreneurs next four wheel drive.
The pastors are as much a part of Nigerias problem as the politicians!

Okay I know you don't joke around so this must be true but I still gotta ask. . . Are you serious??!!!!!

What in the world is this? How do these people live with themselves?!! How for goodness sake?!!

I am so tempted to swear on some people's head right now!! angry angry

World English Bible mark 10:25

It is easier for a camel to go through a
needle's eye than for a rich man to enter
into the Kingdom of God."
I know a guilty will quickly render a different interpretation to that verse.
Jesus in his life time always spoke against the scribes, pharisees and saducees who are the leaders in Gods temples, owners of churches and so on. but today we are constantly threatened not to speak even truths about our religious leaders. months ago PST Tunde bakere Said gen buhari has integrity more than our so called christian leaders and some ignorant followers almost killed him but what are we seeing today.
the end is here and we better get ready before we are caught unaware.

prophet Ezekiel puts it this KJV:
Ezekiel 16:49-50
New King James Version (NKJV)
49 Look, this was the iniquity of your
sister Sodom: She and her daughter had
pride, fullness of food, and abundance of
idleness; neither did she strengthen the
hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they
were haughty and committed
abomination before Me; therefore I took
them away as I saw fit.

may God help us to see clearly.

[b]Satan!! Satan dont even know who the fhuck you are... Why would you even lie against the Devil like that?! angry How did you know the Devil is fighting the church?! The church is destroying itself not the devil. All your pastors are interested in these days are opening Universities, building SUPER-MEGA churches, buying fancy cars, Politics, buying Jets and appearing on Television..

You think Nairalanders are scared like you?! A Pastor bought a private jet and passed it off as a gift from his church brethren and you expect people to keep quiet?! A pastors wife drives around in a stretch Limosine and you want us to keep quiet?!

99% of pentecostal preachers are criminals.. I know it, Nigerians know it, gullible & brainwashed followers of these pastors deny it but the truth is what it is..

You expect us to hide the misgivings of these so-called men of god?! NEVER!!

The owner of Nairaland I am certain has nothing against Jesus or Mohammed, but when something is NEWS worthy, it makes the frontpage. Oritsejafors Jet was news worthy, so it made the frontpage.

Anyways my dear, no need for long talk, if you dont like the trend on Nairaland, feel free to delete yourelf and never return..

On a more serious note-THE MOG WAS SELLING BROOMS TO HIS CONGREGATION,TO SWEEP EVIL AND POVERTY AND MISERY AND SICKNESS AND MISFORTUNE AND WITCHCRAFT OUT OF THEIR LIVES!
Actually it was quite funny to me,even though I pitied the congregation indirectly buying a new jeep for the pastorpreneur.

[quote author=alextayo]This corruption now permeates all the churches in Nigeria...orthodox and pentecostal. Christians are being deceived everyday by inglorious men who calls themselves men of God.


I wish, for courtesy's sake, that you don't generalize. It isn't every church that is corrupt or money conscious. There are still some, a few, that teach and preach and practice holiness and godly living. If you search for them, you will find them.

But the congregation prefers those who will feed them with fables and get-rich-quick devices. Those who will cast out demons from them instead of telling them to forsake their sins; those who will tell them that they will be billionnaires tomorrow morning rather than those who will ask them to seek for God's kingdom and His righteousness. They are birds of the same feather and deserve the preachers they have

So you are now comparing Jesus with a complete charlatan like Oritsejafor angry shows the extent of your delusion. 'The poor would always be with you' stated in that scripture meant we would always have the opportunity to minister to the physical needs of the poor unlike Jesus who had a very short time to stay on earth at that time. The act was carried out in preparation for christ's crucifixion.

Back in the day a jehri curl spotting Reverend Oritsejafor visited us at Unilag and was selling white handkerchiefs for 100 Naira. At that time these handkerchiefs were selling for 10 Naira a piece.
We were meant to use these handkies to wipe our faces for retentive memories.

Niflheim: @Sisi_kill,you are so on point with your story!!!I remember when one of Paul Adefarasin's former assistant pastors wanted to travel to London.He was saving up some cash,he wanted to give Pastor Adefarasin 2 pieces of information that day.So he gave Pastor Adefarasin the 1st info about his saving for a ticket. Adefarasin's reply was, "How can a pastor save money for a ticket!!!What is the congregation for?You are supposed to use their money not yours,no wonder your wife is barren,I am sure it is because god knows how irresponsible you are with money so he doesn't want to bless her yet with a child!!!"...........................meanwhile,the 2nd piece of info that he had wanted to give Adefarasin was that his wife was pregnant.It was this incident that made him finally leave the church!!!
As pessimistic as i am when it comes with the Nigerian church, i struggle to believe this story. It can't be that bad.

I was in a church recently and the pastor said you can not rise beyond his blessings. That as far as he blesses is you is how far you can go. I and my partner just looked at each other and burst out laughing. That was pure comedy to me and folks were nodding in agreement. That to me is the hallmark of manipulation,seduction and control. How can your success as a child of God be tied to the pronouncement of one man? Of what use then is Christ's blood?

While we are at it, i must confess that not all of them have lost track completely. I was at Daystar for a couple of months and i must confess that i rarely heard Sam Adeyemi coarse folks into giving. Dude was busy igniting a fire of social regeneration and revolution through the word than any other thing. The only day i heard him talk about giving on a large scale my heart was warmed. He talked about the church building schools in the bomb blast area in Lagos and a few other projects the church was involved in. He simply asked folks to take a sheet of paper write out an amount you were willing to give. He said he did not want it given at once as he was conscious of the economical realities in view of the recent fuel hike (this was in jan).folks were directed to just write the amount on the sheet without their names and put it into a basket and encouraged to split the amount across 5 months.No coercion, no manipulation, no gyration and no tendency to control. within 5 mins he had finished and moved unto more important matters.
That in my view was giving, God's way. If God cannot provide for his work,then he has seized to be God. If you need to manipulate the people to give,then the reward of giving will never abide.

Oluwa e ku suuru oh!

I am really really speechless these days. Not for the fear of these god-of-men parading themselves as men-of-God, but rather because of the hopeless, brainless Nigerians that think their salvation is confirmed through the hands of these con-men!

Just today, one hopeless, useless dogmatic eediot of a lady woke up this morning and started lambasting people on facebook for speaking against that so-called 'born again' thief - Oritsejafor. I used the scriptures to correct her, she told me to think outside of the box. Before I could reply her, she had deleted me off. cheesy Yet this fooool of a specie will think of preaching salvation to someone out there?!

What has a CAN president got to do with stretch limo for his wife, putting on bling-bling, and acquiring an interior gold plated private jet? Is this not insanity of the highest order? In a nation riddled with corrupt leaders, murderers and an unprecedented corruption! Two years ago, I made up my mind never to be part and parcel of any Nigerian church again! I remember several years ago, whilst still living in Nigeria, a pastor told my father never to leave Nigeria, that it was God's will for him to live in Nigeria. Today, I thank God he chose to listen to the God that resides in him rather than the so-called Pastor. Many Nigerians live in social, economic, emotional and psychological bondage of their various pastors. This is why the likes of Jonathan can go kneeling down under Adeboye, and the limitless eediots in Nigeria certainly believe Jonathan is God's anointed for the country.
