Bokoharam: This is the summary of today's average Nigerian Christian: Its a lie... Jesus associated Himself with d riches of d world... his robe was dat of kings, He had women working for Herod who ministerd to Him of their substance... They even called Jesus names, it was never easy for Him... if people like u were in Jesus‘ age, u sure would stabbed Him in NL... |

nep2ra: Religion is an escape mechanism that helps the weak run from reality. My fellow Nigerians, please let's be honest for once in our lives. This honesty will help save future generations. We are very religious in Nigeria and most of Black Africa because of the massive failure of our past and present government to address the challenges of our country. If our government lived up to it's responsibilities as obtained in most developed countries, trust me, Nigerians will not be religious. HOW DO U TREAT GOD |

I am dissapointed in OYEDEPO. How can he say that Covenant University is not apart of the church. Everybody in Nigeria knows that it's church money, if he is not guilt he should just tell us the source. SO SHAMEFUL. Business man comb Pastor. 1 Like |

Na wa o! c how the church has gone from being ridiculed for its poverty to being criticised for its wealth! God is really good! gone are the days wen people use to say "as poor as a church rat". now any rat found in the church is definitely a rich one! make una continue dey talk, me i prefer the wealthy church cos the bible says in isaiah 60 vs 2... "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee". if nothing is happening in his life, people wud've questioned his God, now God is blessing him, people are busy calling him names. make una talk well well o, cos una never see anything. The glory days of the church of Jesus Christ are here, so more are coming! I believe it, and that settles it! 2 Likes |

what is it with u and men of God, if u think it is so profitable to be one why not just leave all you are doing now and start a church so that you can also be able to buy private jets from the tithes your members are bringing. Why is it that you people have this idea that men of God should be wretched. When this men left their all for God none of you bothered about them but after they have walked their roads alone suffering and are now reaping the rewards of years of labour you start finding faults in them. Mark my words every word you speak against a man called of God, God takes personal. you can see that in the bible when aaron and mariam spoke against moses. Beware and don't draw the anger of God on yourself and yous seed. A word is enough for the wise. |

@Precious15,@emperor, Please don't misunderstand this threads. Nobody says he shouldn't be blessed with everything but what he does with it matter as a xtian. how many lives have been bless with all that members have given to him. Remember we are followers of Christ, everything Christ got from the people he was always giving it back to those in need. Two bread and Five Fishes. He didn't take them home, He is busy accomulating wealth that are not neccessary. It is more blessed to give than to receive. He should work like Missionaries who brought this Gospel that we are doing anyhow now as if we know more than them. Ask your father about Missionary schools and Hospitals above all things. Their own is advance 419. that suppass the understanding of people like you. GOD IS NOT MAN SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY!!! CHILDREN OF GOD ARE LIVING WITH THE FEAR OF PASTORS NOT THE FEAR OF GOD!! 1 Like |

stagger: The issue with many Nigerians is that they bother themselves with irrelevant stuff. Covenant University was not built with tithes and offerings. Your 13 million per annum is a big fat lie. No professor in Nigeria earns that and I've got proofs for it. Got plenty as friends and family working in private federal and state univ. Only the VC which is like a political appointment earns around 18 million annually |

Religion! Everybody don take him position nobody is ready to shift ground. No matter what u do, some pple will support while some will be against Me think is difficult separate the contributions (in whatever form) of church members to the success story of CU if dts was intention of the statement. Also, building CU in seven months is doubtful in my opinion. Assuming d resources are available, how long does it take to complete a building considering u have to build several, furnish, put in place several equipment etc, this is doubtful. Presido GEJ is building the one of 9 universities he decreed and sited in his home town for more than 7mths now even with enormos power and resources available. Me think maybe he played a bit to d gallery just to massage d ego a little bit. Whatever is the case norring really spoil He a celebrity and public figure so pple are bound to discuss his action, inaction and omissions. |

i happen to be in another country and have seen what CHRISTIANS DO-they give to the very last..my question is how has the Nigerian churches given back to society or what role are they really playing??..why should Pentecostal church universities be very expensive, why do men of God have a tendency to be so materialistic, why does a church want to make profit?...a man of God has three jets well he might like jets but cant you sell one of them and build hospitals(health care @ reduced prices) in some states or get buses not only to take your congregation to church but Nigerians to different places everyday...create employment for Nigerians..there is nothing wrong if a church opens a food bank for Nigerians even if its once a week, there is nothing wrong for a church to build a university that is free and based strictly on merit....there is so much the church can give to society LET CHRISTIANS DO WHAT CHRISTIANS DO and worthy of emulation..den Nigeria can be a great place 2 Likes |

The bolded sections makes absolutely no sense. You are deliberately refusing to exercise your thinking skills and standing logic on its head. He who asserts bears the burden of proof. If Bishop says he didnt use the church money to build CU, then taking into consideration the kind of pedestal he is on and the disaffection some of the murmurings have caused, he should have clearly stated where the money came from with full, verifiable facts. If i tow your line of reasoning, i can jolly well advice James Ibori to claim that all the assets he has/had were not acquired using Delta State funds. Infact, na spiritual blessings from the skies; and we all should take his James word for it. Joagbaje: 2 Likes |

I don't really understand why we Nigerians have refused to open our eyes to see the truth. I don't care what anyone says but the honest truth is that these so-called pastors are milking unfortunate congregation. It is so amazing how some people will put their lives at stake to support issues that are clearly visible from the surface. You did not build that school with offering and tithe, so where did you get the money from? People pledged and donated to build that monument, true indeed. And the so-called jets too...He claims to make his own money, right, attributing all to God's blessings. Yes, fine, God blesses people but I don't want to believe God can be that selfish to let just one man gulp all that when millions are out there suffering. Let's call a spade a spade. His supporters will ask who gave the right to judge but believe, this has nothing with judgement, it has to do with calling a spade a spade. What a shame... |
Re: Oyedepo's Claim That Covenant University Wasnt Built With Tithes - My Thoughts by mko2005: 9:04am On Dec 13, 2012 |
Eziachi:The below tells me that all true christians are kings ! ISA 61:6 And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. 1PT 2:5 And you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house, to be a Holy Priesthood. REV 1:6(KJV) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father. REV 5:10(KJV) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth. ROM 5:17 Says we will reign in life through Jesus, the greek word for "REIGN" is derived from the the word for "KING". And means to be a king King solomon was blessed by God.His wisdom,wealth and riches were given to him by God any how you look at it. He never regretted having money but he regretted been wealthy leaving God out of it hence the popular saying;''vanity upon vanity all is vanity'' King solomon went astray just to show us that he is man and not God ! Every day,i ask for the kind of solomons riches,wealth and wisdom but of cos not his kind of marriage,and the worship of man made gods ! God gave solomon wisdom,wealth and riches but God never gave him the women and the gods he he was led to start worshipping by these concubines and women ! Since there are some bad personal character of solomon,i will not opt for those ones but the ones given to him by God ;wealth and wisdom God bless us |
