Well, we cannot exhaust the discussion on this topic. First, it is impossibe for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God. Second , before mentioning nigeria's politicians, the first group of people destroying nigeria are the pastors and other religious leaders. They always ask people to bring all their problems to Jesus, even when they know that most of people's issues in this country are physical and not spiritual. Because nigerians always regard hardwork as suffering, we tend to look for short cuts to issues of life. These so called religious leaders are smart enough to see the gullibility, laziness and ignorance of the people and they continually exploit it to their advantage. Even the primary role of churches to teach morals have been abandoned. All they preach now is prosperity. Most nigerians have forgotten that there is no substitute for hardwork. If Jesus should solve all the problems of men, what then will be the role of our elected governments. Lets ask ourselves, what are these problems on which platform the pastors defraud people? Lack of job/ good paying job, poverty, sickness, no wife/husband, barreness etc. Most readers will agree with me that these issues are not peculiar to nigeria. They exist in all countries in varying degrees. The only solution to all these is effective allocation or reallocation of our resources and only a good government can achieve that. Let nigerians wake up before it is too late.
I will come back.

Dear Nigerian Christians, i implore you to do better in paying your tithes so that a Nigerian pastor can become the richest pastor while huge percentage of the congregation continue to wallow in abject poverty.
BTW, some of T.D Jake's worth are from movie production, so SLAPtor Oyedepo may be the richest Pastor of the world.

kenfunmi: Why the misconception about wealth?It's because many lack the understanding that God delight in the prosperity of His servants according to His Word in Ps 35 vs 27.He also said in Deut 8:18 that He gives power 2 get wealth.If u're not wealthy as a child of God,then sth is wrong....pls stop criticising men of God cos u don't know the covenant they made with God...get understanding of the Word and be set free
"If u're not wealthy as a child of God,then sth is wrong" smh... Too many clowns in d modern day church.

viyon02: Are these men of god truly innocent?
Innocent how? They are biz men plying their trade and hustling just like u and me are doing. The only diff is that they feed their gullible members with lies and half truths and a promise of an imaginary hell fire/interval condemnation if they refuse to pay their tithes/sow seeds that will never germinate, let alone bear fruits. Out of fear of hellfire they part with their hard earned money and the so called man of God smiles to the bank. the missionaries that brought this Christianity to us with one hand and siphoned our resources (human & material) made visible sacrifices such as building schools that were free, hospitals, water etc. Now our so called men of God's schools are far out of the reach of their poor members who indirectly built these schools via tithes, offerings, seeds etc.
I was in church on Sunday and one of our pastors announced about very urgent needs of the church and to my astonishment there were flat screen TV sets, electric fans, upholstery seats tor their new pastors' house. According to him the ones they were using b/4 do not befit their new building. This is just vanity. Members were coarse to build the new house 4 them. I tire for religion and the gullibility of their members.

That is tru and all what you hear from this so called great man of God is praying and fasting for every problem and when you want a better job is is seed sowing.

What will come out after 100 of fasting from the RCCG Church will nigeria be a better country.
Will every nigerian have a job.

Joshuaforever: Most people don't know the scriptures. The bible says that He(Jesus) was made poor so that through his poverty, we might be made rich. When worldly people(sinners) get rich, no one complains but when men of God get rich people are upset. The bible says it is God that gives power to get wealth.
Ok, what Does 1 John 2:15 says? Do NOT love the WORLD OR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!

[quote author=omartins]Church is now business where we list out those who has the highest profit.
What has happen to the spirit of charity in these pastors?
Nigerians no dey carry last.
5 out of 10 in the whole universe are Nigerian pastors, and many poor people are out there who need this pastors help. Have you ever heard that one wealthy pastor help fire disaster, flood victim or accident victim before? Nigeria is still ranked highest in some sickness such as polio, Aids, worst of all leprosy (d most oldest disease)and so on and no one heard of help from one of this wealthy pastors. In short, I'm disturb by the way some pastors live their life's forgetting Eccl 2:18-19. Its just like chasing the wind.[/quote

/

Una like to put eyes where una no sabi.

People give all the time.

What is the difference between someone who gives unto the pastors in anticipation of blessings and someone who plays the lottery in anticipation of good life?

The difference is in the beneficiary. In lottery, the state wins. In tithing, the pastor wins.

Both instances sell hope to the people. Just as in lottery games, a few people win in churches sometimes.

Just as late night infomercials use testimonials (real or imaginary) to lure people into business, pastors use testimonials too to lure future givers
into their maga kingdom.

Trying to talk people out of giving to all these flamboyant pastors is like telling gamblers to stop buying lottery tickets.

Everyone is hoping that one day will be one day, poverty will be eradicated in his/her life by fire or by force.

All you naysayers...please don't kill the dream. For some people, that is the only thing they live for.

Keep hope alive!

heefeholuwah: sir I beg to differ but I need to point our ur seemingly cryptic quasi-brilliant bible quote there..the statement "its easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" is infact both literary and non literary...in theology..it has been rightly explained that 'needle's eye' is infact a place in Jerusalem and not the hole of a needle used in sewing...'Needle's eye is like a back gate at jerusalem such that when the main gate has been locked..the people of jerusalem pass through this 'needle's eye' at the back of jerusalem...meanwhile its a small entrance...furthermore in the days of old...a camel was always significantly carrying loads..I.e...when the word 'camel' is said...the 1st tin that comes to one's mind is that it is an animal used for carriages....now back to the quote...for a camel to pass through the needle's eye...it needs to offload all that it is carrying b4 he can fit in the entrance....'''....so the passage simply means for a rich man to enter into heaven he needs to offload and careless about his riches and properties but that doesn't mean to gain entrance to heaven..one needs to be poor!...BIG NO!...the bible even speaks about God being the giver of wealth.prov 10:22...ecclesiastes.6:2..psalm 112:3...our God is not a poor God so we should be rich but we shouldn't allow our wealth take the place of God as number 1 in our lives..I hope my pedantic explanation was worthwhile...God bless
Bro, least we forget Jesus the master himself says, you CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MONEY! There can Be be no ambiguity about that, sir.

Need our help we need him in all ways.
Re: Top 10 Richest Pastors In The World by BlossomP: 7:52pm On Jan 07, 2014
Reference:

It depends on how you look at it my friend. There is only one person in the world who has no one richer than him and only one person that has no one poorer than him moreover the bible says it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom...but these men are already in the kingdom. They are not seeking to enter. And for goodness sake 150million dollars is not particularly rich, certainly not to God who's Word you quote.
Apparently u don't know what God's Kingdom is all about, else u wouldn't say they are 'already in d kingdom'. Is the Kingdom a place were a few are enriching themselves and living flamboyant life styles while d vast majority are grappling with poverty and being fed empty promises? Certainly not from d scriptures.

Haha, brilliant! That's the insult, that he's richer than the list claims? Did you guys have thanksgiving service when he made his first 100 million? It must have been great.
Re: Top 10 Richest Pastors In The World by Negation: 8:21pm On Jan 07, 2014
Anyway, in the name of positivity, let me take the time to hail my pastor, a man who wouldn't make it on such a list, even if the list had 500 names. He is a wonderful man of God, a PhD holder who created his wealth through working hard for it. He pays the other pastors and church related- expenses with church money and I've never seen him give extra prayer to big tithers. I'm always amazed and honoured by his humility and wisdom. God bless you, sir!

segnys007: Bro, least we forget Jesus the master himself says, you CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MONEY! There can Be be no ambiguity about that, sir.
Sir...the bible itself is vague...its quite ambiguous because a verse or scripture may mean a different 1000 things to a different set of people based on the inspiration of the Holyspirit..which further enlightens us about the dexterity of our creator...like I said in my earlier post!...#BE WEALTHY! BUT NEVER LET YOUR PURSUIT OF MONEY COME BEFORE GOD IN YOUR LIFE#....infact I believe if a supposed Child of God lacks wealth,prosperity and the likes....he must have erred somewhere...cause prosperity and wealth are attached to the promises of God for His children..the Bible said seek ye the kingdom of heaven first!...and all other things shall be added unto you...including wealth....coz God giveth the power to make wealth Himself....Sir all the wealth of this world is yours but...always PUT GOD FIRST!

Suretrends: Where did your metrics come from, Op

l don't even want to know the metrics the @op has used. But one thing is certain and you can check your bible if when poor Lazarus died he has to borrow the boys quarters of Father Abraham to stay in heaven then you can see how important wealth is not to talk of this present dispensation. Don't be deceived one cannot serve God trully and in the way you ought to in a state of poverty. When even that God is not poor. And remember the state of being rich or poor is a function of the mindset and not how much you worth or what is in your pocket or bank account.

During JESUS' time, the best ride then(car) was a good horse with carriage for the rich

The poor man's ride back then was a donkey( to be used for work and means of trnasport)


Now when JESUS needed a ride(for his triumphant entry)he did not have one. Not because he can't afford one but because he needs to show his humility. So he borrowed one and he did not even borrow the best ride then, he borrowed a donkey

one thing have noticed is that people don't really read their bibles any longer they spent most of there time on things of no eternal value. Those who read don't understand and or they are being wave around by different or FALSE doctrines.

Oga Jesus was never poor in the context of the way you guys always look at. The bible say he left his glory to come down to be made sin for us; Him that knew no sin. Maybe you ve never had of this.

Oya can you explain why their was a fight for Jesus cloth when on the cross.

Or explain why Mary Madgalene used perfume on Jesus. How did she knows that Jesus loves perfume. Too the extent that even Judas know that it is an expensive one that he said the vale of the perf should have been giving to the poor for you to know how expensive.

Or that Jesus had so much money that Judas deem it fit to be stealing out of it. The money was so much that non of the other disciples know except Jesus.

And you still say Jesus was poor when he walked the face of the earth. Just forget it my brother. Go and read the scriptures very well.
