Shame On Pastors Who Live In Opulence While Church Members Are Broke!! by Nobody: 9:13pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
Any Pastor who lives in luxury and opulence while his church members are broke and struggling to make two ends meet, is in great danger of damnation. A Pastor who flies in a private Jet worth millions , while a church mother cannot afford to feed her kids has lost the plot and might be a charlatan. Any Pastor who lives in a mansion worth millions , while a father in the church cannot pay his house rent and bills has to be a charlatan. Any Pastor who calls poverty a disease instead of an opportunity to do charity is a crook. Any Pastor who preaches on Money more than any other subject is definitely a crook. Any Pastor who abuses , bullies and intimates his broke members because they cannot pay tithes should be arrested and charged with extortion. Any pastor who keeps the books to himself and team , despite the money belonging to the church members, should be asked to show transparency in all matters of finance , if he refuses, he should be investigated for fraud. Any Pastor who asks you to hope for Money instead of working for Money is a rogue. Any Pastor who is close friends to politicians and dubious business men is a compromiser and Demas.

lil max: So its now a pastors duty to take care of members of d church....abi Yes it is the pastor's duty. In case you don't know pastor means shepherd, it is the shepherd's duty to take care of the flock and not just milk them. Any pastor that doesn't know this is not worth being called a pastor. Also if you read your bible well, church collections in the early church was always used to take care of the needy in the church. That is the example our pastors ought to follow. 190 Likes |

Well said pastor kunle and I agree with u 100%. But I have a reservation @ op, it is a fact that the poor will always b among us no matter what, though the pastor/shepherd should always know the condition of the sheep n care for them. The issue should rather b setting the priorities right as pastors and living according to the teachings of the scriptures concerning sherpherding. One other thing, ur points made me laugh especially the one that 'any pastor that bullies n intimidate his members to pay tithe should be arrested n charged for extortion', Lol. But it should be noted that the church can't be run like any other institution. Christ is the head of the church, the leaders are His delegated authority n thereby accountable to Him. 9 Likes |

@ OP You said things that impress me this time except the charging and arresting. I am of the opinion that judgment should be left to God. Most of the pastors who claim they have the call of God say so to establish a church as a source of livelihood. While it is not bad to live on the church, it should not be the objective. I have been a pastor in one if not the most popular church in Nigeria, where your financial status is the reflection of your anointing. The more anointed you are the richer you are expected to be. The overall head of that church does not help matters as every minister looks up to him. God have mercy. In a situation where a pastor wants to be rich and known, the hunger for money will not allow him to notice the suffering talkless of taking care of them. 14 Likes |

frosbel: Any Pastor who lives in luxury and opulence while his church members are broke and struggling to make two ends meet, is in great danger of damnation. Which of such pastors have you told this face to face? If you were so concerned about their salvation and their Book of Life status, why not talk to them one on one instead of coming to Nairaland to score cheap popularity points? With your long verbiage, who have you helped? I even doubt you are a Christian when you claim to be one, else you would know what the bible said about what to do when a brother is in the wrong. 18 Likes |

They will tell you that their "father" in heaven is not a poor God, so they His "children" should be expected to be living testimonies of His abundance. This begs the question. You can't help but wonder whether the poor members of the church (who are in the majority anyway) were "fathered" by a different God. Could these poor and hapless churchgoers be illegitimate children whose divine paternity originates from the opposite end of heaven? Look, I am tired of talking about these charlatans. They should enjoy the proceeds of their fraudulence for as long as their devotees remain brainwashed and silly. After all, if mugu no fall, guyman no go chop. 19 Likes |

What surprises me is that a successful pastor would come before church members and boast of his testimony recalling his days of sufferring relating the current difference to hardwork and God s blessing, forgetting that his life had always depended on the hardwork of ordinary church members. This always sounds disgusting to me. One question I always ask my self, should incase we all decide to stop going to a particular church, who claims the wealth of the church? Ans pastor and his family. I advice u ask ur pastor to work woRk and work cus u all r working. 10 Likes |

"Nigerian pastors are hypocrites. They give pple holy water 4 treatment of cancer yet seek orthodox medical care for their wives and wards abroad. Look at church posters and wives of pastors, they are beauties to behold, no cleft palate, but sister spinster is there nearing menopause because pastors' sons have be warned to choose 'carefully'. Pastors' sons will marry with limosine, members sons will marry with okada. Pastors' mission house with light and state of the art equipments, members house with atupa. Pastors will collect tithe from cleaners earning 5k per month, use it to build universities with 850k per session. The list of the deeds of these wayo pastors na endless. No difference btw them and politicians" Do not be magalized again 24 Likes |

who shall bring a charge against God's elect? God shall judge. go and find out wot happened to miriam wen she spoke against moses. Aaron was wise enough to keep quiet. Moses was wrong but the annointing on him fought miriam. Even when saul was wrong, David even in his capacity couldnt judge him.(numbers 12: 1-10,2Sam. 1:1-14). ....and why does everything about pastors make frontpage?.
