How can Christianity work, when all the pastors are after is wealth? And what they teach is either reverse or they are not the very important things to be taught.

How can you teach your congregation to pray for the death of their enemies while Jesus admonish us to pray for them so that from our fine works, they (enemies) might have a change of heart?

Now let's do some statistics. On every street we have a minimum of 3 churches. If you have access to Lagos State Data. How many streets do we have? Let's say 20,000streets
multiply by 3 is 60,000churches. They even rent shops, canopy, kiosks etc. And is the effect obvious?

These innocent people work soooooo hard and somebody sits in an AC office/ exotic Cars and houses everyday doing nothing and he collects their money all in the name of Tithe. What annoys me the most is that these churches now has schools which 95% of their memebers can't afford to send their children to. Is that christianity? Are these the characteristics of Christ?

How on earth can you go against the Holy book. When Jesus was teaching his disciples to pray, what are the first things he mentioned? Was is our father in heaven give us our daily bread? Didn't he mentioned the sanctification of God's holy name, that the kingdom of God comes, that his will should be done on earth just like in heaven?

Mat. 6:33 says "Keep on, then, seeking (continuous) FIRST the kingdom of God AND ITS RIGHTEOUSNESS and THESE OTHER THINGS (material things will be added onto you. Things of the spirit comes before things of the flesh.

Store up your treasure in heaven where nothing can destroy it. And where your treasure is, your heart will be also.

Where do you want your heart to be? With God or with Satan. Remember, Satan is the ruler of the world. And to those trying build wealth, think twice. You can't serve two masters. Jesus didn't own a house not to talk of a Horse. He was busy preaching the good news of God's Kingdom.

I'd love to ask....How many pastors can come out to say that he preaches from house-to-house like Jesus did.

I'll be back to add more.
