striktlymi: I understand some of the complaints people put forth...

1) The building he has currently, can take upto a million people, I think.

2) There are other RCCG Churches all about, hence there is no pressing need to build a bigger one because the people have other places of worship.

superior1:

And you think he didn't know of this before making that announcement or you feel you are simply smarter than he is?

striktlymi:

What on Earth are you talking about

Joagbaje: I don't see a reason why any grown man with common sense should criticize a minister for expanding the church building . It's african poverty mentality simply put. And the critics are hypocrites.

2 Kings 6:1-2
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us. Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell.”
So he answered “Go.”,

It's a simple common sense to expand if the place become small . Even if the place is not yet small and you perceive the tendency of over flow soon you start making plans immediately. Is it when rain begin to fall on women and children you start to run to and fro? Haba!

Pastor Kun:

Olodo trust you to come out and defend all the wrong practises going on in churches. If they were just planning an expansion the outrage won't be this much rather they are planning to build a brand new auditorium at a ridiculous cost so that they can accommodate more people in their annual convention. A once a year unnecessary activity

superior1:

And they came to you and said Pastor Kun you must give us that money ooo, yes?

LMAO

idnoble135: Nothing hurts some folks like the cost involved. I have said it before and say it again, if he want to expand to ten million, how is that anybody's business?
Am sure if it were to be estimated, Solomon spent much more than this. And God did not complain.
I thought this issue is past, lemme reduce my epistle then.
He has no query to answer before anyman. The Op has given a good biblical illustration. I have also spoken on it on another thread.
No body except God can stop the building.

Unknown to them is the fact that there's danger in criticising any Man of God for any reason whatsoever, here's a thread that expounded more on that: http://ww.nairaland.com/1386645/dangers-christian-criticism

idnoble135: ^
I dont want to attack his person. I dont do it. But if he truly is a pastor, he needs to learn how to talk. He does have to use crude words to make his points clear.

toba: I wouldnt blame you cos you made the comment based on what you feel which is against reality.

What i saw during the convention is beyond ordinary. The human beings at that camp would be in the gross sum of over 2million. People on the road and not under the camp shed must be over 500,000 thousand.

Pastor adeboye wants to avoid Stampede

Caracta:

God bless you. Some of them have never been to the camp ground yet they are quick to make judgments. To even get a place to sit na war. Not to talk of staying there for two and three days.

Pastor Kun:

If the camp ground is always so overcrowded
Why then do they advertise so much for more people to come to their charades anytime they are forming activity
there.

Gombs:

Sir with due respect, exercise civility, insults aint necessary. Meanwhile, this is what God said in Isaiah 54v2 NLT
"Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out
your home, and spare no expense!

If this doesn't satisfy your contentious post, I'd simply conclude that you chose to be ignorant. If God could say this about our house, then imagine much more for his house. No wonder Solomon gathered all those materials at "ridiculous cost" to build God's house.

And edify me on why you said it's a once a year unnecessary activity ?
Are you God? Or his protocol officer?

Pastor Kun:

Kenny4lyfe: @Op sir, that's a good point! Only a poor man will have an issue with what daddy G.O's decision about the convention ground is! Imagine if these same set of people were alive when King Solomon was gathering materials to get the temple's construction underway, they'll be like "He's insane! He's mobilising all our resources to fund church building. A 100% of our annual budget gone to waste". Whereas they've forgotten that as there are corrupt millionaires and billionaires in this country, so are there righteous millionaires and billionaires in this country! I pity them!

frosbel: If you want to sow 1 billion see my personal secretary , if you want to sow 100 million see my personal secretary, anything less is acceptable but you cannot see my personal secretary

Nigerian so called Christians are truly clueless.

Joagbaje:

Have you asked his reason? . The only reason he could have done that is for security reasons. . Besides those are the major people he needed for the work , the others were only being given opportunities to be blessed as well , so as not to deny them. Will a million crowd go to see secretary ? Can he or she cope with the crowd? You wan kill am?

frosbel:

Ha ha ha , why should a man of God be worried about security ?

Did Jesus not walk through crowds and they could do nothing to him , even though they were filled with rage ?
