Are churches really helping the poor and the less priviledge in our society? considering the way pastors are buying jets, building mega churches worth billions of naira, cruising on an expensive cars even when some members hardly feed and takes care of their families. When you look at churches you will discover that they hardly help the poor and the unemployed members to stand on their feet financially. Building mega churches, buying private jets is not my problem, but helping the needy and unemployed is. My point is churches should contribute to helping the less priviledge in the church and society in general, that is what jesus is expecting churches to be doing and not the other way round. Now the question is: are churches helping the poor and needy in our society today or not? Give your candid opinion. Thanks.

Mind your business and leave the churches alone. Thank you.

Nobody has forced you to part with your N1

Firstly op you need to understand what/who is the church?

The question should be:


"Are charity organisations really helping the poor and the unemployed today?"

So churches are not suppose 2 support the poor is that what you are saying?

HumbledbYGrace: Firstly op you need to understand what/who is the church?

@Op,the answer to your question lies in the answer you give to the question above!
What/who is the church?

It is the churches responsibility to help the poor and the needy. Anybody that doesn't know this should examine his/herself to be sure he/she is really a christian as taking care of the poor and needy amongst us is one of the teachings Jesus placed emphasis on and not tithes that hirelings want to kill themselves for today.

You wud hv rather asked me who is a pastor?

Dnt u hv eyes to see d number of poor people in church. Many ar dancing, singing on an empty stomach and behaving as if nothing is wrong but all is nt well. If church can be using the tithe money to meet d need of members wouldnt it be better instead of storing it in banks and member ar suffering? Ask urself.

The funny thing is that those hungry people you mentioned are also part of the church yet the 'church' leadership ignores their needs and goes on to extort tithes from the little they have from them.

Well said

Very few churches have tried when it comes to charity or helping the poor

The catholic and anglicans try a lot with charities and schools.

However, their charity comes at a price; joining them. They will preach to illiterateand gullible people that it is Yaweh that sent the charity to them......


Furthermore, when is the last time you heard a church or religious organisation push the government to build roads in a certain area? How many church pastors are involved in labour struggle with the masses? How many church pastors did you see on the street with protestors for minimum wage?

How many pastors have private jets?
Must you always keep your focus on the minority? smh

Pastors, will quote Bible for you so u can see that they don't need to help d poor. the pastors to are only getting money now because they have been there before too.

do you have a ministry?

Young man, the church is not your Government. It does its best to alleviate poverty . I know so many pple on a scholarship to private Universities and my church donates a large portion of its 2nd week offerings to the needy in church and Charity. So many churches are in the business of giving to the poor. U don't expect them to be grandiloquent about it.

Imagine a church opening a university that more than 65% of its active members who pay their tithes and offerings regularly cannot afford and no one is asking questions.

Imagine the CAN president asking President Jonathan to give a percentage of his salary to the poor…when he has no record of any charitable act.

Imagine a GO interested in expanding his auditorium when the children of devoted members who cannot afford his expensive university are wasting away at home with no hope to further their education.

Until you break that chain of “don’t question a man of God” and begin to question pastors on how your offerings, tithes, first seed…etc. are being spent you would continually be repeatedly exploited by these greedy people.
