idnoble135: I expect people to quote me but i seriously dont care! And this is my personal opinion.
Its not a surprise that many eyebrows are being raised over this. I think it would be abnormal if he(Pastor Adeboye) did not expect
this kind of reaction.
The rant on social and mass media can go on but i have the feeling that it would not stop the building.
He did not compel people to give. If he wants to expand the church, how is it your business? If you would not give, that would not stop anything being done.
I am not a redeemed member. But my concern is why everything about any church attracts this kind of attention. Knowing that the church fund is comprised of what is given by members. The figure spent by a political party for the last convention is way bigger than this and no one batted an eyelid. I think without the church, some media corporations and blog would die down.
So, every one can shout and rant as much as they want to, everyone would keep quiet when they are tired. Its a matter of next year before the church would be dedicated.
Finally, i know if most of you were alive, you would have equally blasted Solomon for spending a great deal of gold, silver, precious stones, cedar etc building a temple that took a whooping seven years to build because of its complex architectural design. You would have organized protest calling it a waste. Maybe you would have insulted him on facebook, twitter, nairaland, you name it... But God was pleased with Solomon and appeared to him right after the dedication. And there were still poor people in the land. Even Jesus said, "The poor you will always
have with you, but you will
not always have me". Mathew 26:11. Letting us know that helping the poor is important but not as kingdom and its expansion.
If this is not of God, be rest assured that it would fail. But, if this be of God, one million devils and one million Boko haram can not stop it. Acts 5:38-39.
I rest my case.

frosbel: Can Adeboye ensure that there is not ONE needy person among his church members before he embarks on this multi-billion naira project to build a 3-km Long Church Auditorium.

This is madness, building more and more edifices while our people are almost dying of hunger, a classical case of taking money from the needy and using it to build babels to the glory of MAN. Reminds me of India who are investing in more weapons of mass destruction when 60% of their people starve, talk of misplaced priorities.

Do not give a penny to this project , pay your rent, bills , feed your children and then give to the poor and needy around you. Go to the Lord in prayer before you donate a penny, I am sure there are worthier causes all around us.

People, it is time you follow JESUS and stop enriching MEN and their dreams. You do not need to go to a specific place to find Jesus, if we have the Spirit , he is always present for he has said " I will never leave you or forsake you ".

Free yourselves from MEN, follow JESUS, on judgement day Adeboye will not save you or stand in for you, on judgement day RCCG will not save you, now is the time to do the right thing and go back to new testament Christianity.

Next IG: Gbam!!!!! Shikenan. He who is angry with the work of Jesus in Naija let him go and hang himself. He who is already hypertensive because the Church is gradually taking its place according to the scriptures, let him go and stand in front of Dangote's moving Truck. God bless you sir.

C@$# mun€£¥:
I'm fast losing faith in the man and his church.

frosbel:

Typical byproduct of this corrupt system.

Next IG: Whether you loose your Faith or Patience on him and the assembly he's leading; that won't take away an ounce of God's anointing upon him, and that won't classify him as a fake my Bros. Pastor Adeboye is one man of God who always does something as commanded by the Heavens. I am not an RCCG member but I know he's a true servant of God positioned for the blessing of this generation. I pray you don't loose your salvation because of hatred towards him.

idnoble135:
very well bro... You keep hammering on the poor. How many poor people have you fed? Can you alone feed the poor? Why has there not stop being the poor even if you help some. Is it okay to say you preach to help the poor but you take your paycheck home and spend a good deal(if not all) on yourself and your family?
The work is for those that are interested and willing to donate. If you dont want to, you might as well hold your peace.

bashorunbazok: In the end, it will turn to a place where we would be making sajda for almighty Allah.

ayobase: Under fire for what?
I don't get it.

That someone without a criminal record can't pay such amount of money indicates how shallow ur mind is financially...SMH....in this country where we have silent billionaire?

One thing people of shallow minds still fail to know or understand is that it takes nothing to become billionaire if you know the secret.....GIVING, and most especially to the works of God.

I don't see this as any scam. Bab Adeboye started from 1 billion naira and stopped at 100 naira. Just do according to ur power or u simply put God to test.

From what I read so, I didn't see anywhere he was trying to cajole people into paying. He just said it as it is!

Nothing like "give and it shall be given unto u. God will bless u in folds" and the likes to hoodwink as some of NLers will say!

Obe to dun, owo lo pa of course!

Dey there make pant dey wear u while others are giving financial breakthroughs testimony!

Repeat me. It is a known fact that many people who call themselves Christians in Nigeria are worshippers of men.

Jesus himself beheld as the woman gave her last two mites, he did not accuse anyone of taking from a needy person. Its a personal choice. No coercion.

frosbel:

And what you fail to understand is that the tithe in those days was used to take care of this sort of woman , besides Jesus berated the hypocrites for devouring widow's houses in the same chapter.

mooregan: My line of concern is where de OP said no one without a criminal record can donate 1Bill. But Dangote donated 1bill to Emergency rule affected states, does he have a criminal record??

VellyG: We had great men of God in the 80's and 90's b4 these new generation pastors..It was never all abt building edifices,acquiring large hectars of land and buying private jets..These men of God should focus more on the word of God and helping the poor in our society rather than enriching themselves..100million will cant go a long way in assisting the numerous number orphanage homes in Nigeria.

ODENIG: My prayer now i read thread is God give me 10Billion so i can give 5Billion to RCCG. i need money now from God it is challenge of faith.This is the secret of personal financial growth (GIVING) .PLEASE EVERY BODY KEY IN AND GET BLESSED,IT IS NOT MEANT FOR DEBATE (IT WRITTEN IN THE SCRIPTURE GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU GOOD MEASURE,PRESS DOWN AND SHAKING TOGETHER SHALL BE RETURNED BACK TO YOU)This is the best banking system in the world.
