ALL the pastors who own their own independent churches are Businessmen. That is the more reason why I don't support "Husband and Wife" Churches because their foundation is to enrich themselves. These pastors are only self-employed to make ends meet, not for God.

I don't regard or envy their zealous preachings because they are geared towards dazzling members with undeveloped minds to frenzy and in their innocence donate generously to the wealth of the pastors.

wheesin: according to researchs and observations...almost ¼ of d richest pastors in the world are from nigeria..

THIS THING DEY TURN BUSINESS O...TIME TO OPEN MY OWN CHURCH..GOD CALLED ME

na today? there is a well known muslim scholar who owns a church as a business in Nigeria

Like Rick Ross woke up in a new Bugatti..... Chris Okotie woke up in a new Rolls Royce

otokx: Tempted to say but at least he did not buy a jet.

that's not a justification of buying a Rolls Royce because he didn't buy a private jet.

Howmanage: na today? there is a well known muslim scholar who owns a church as a business in Nigeria

I go like to hear more about this gist

Anything I say does not change the status quo...i take style comot

His church members are not complaining.


Make I no drink paracetamol for another person headache.

This Pastor has really offended the Catholics & they won't stop this RIDICULOUS stories till their motive becomes too glaring. Reminds me of Yorubas and Stella Oduah and the Jonathan supporters and Obasanjo. Even if this spurious story was true, how is that your business? Earlier it was "armed" men in his Church! I don't like Oduah, Obasanjo & Okotie; I just HATE witchunting of any kind

DonColz1: The Pastor of the Household of God Church International, Chris Okotie, recently bought a Rolls Royce Coupe, the 2014 Bespoke Edition, to mark his 30 years as born-again Christian and 27 years as a pastor,SUNDAY PUNCHlearnt on Saturday.
According Okotie’s close aide, the pastor spent N120m on the luxury car and had earlier spent N33m on a Range Rover Autobiography to mark a milestone of his church.
The source, in a text message, said, “Pastor Okotie just bought a Rolls Royce Coupe, 2014 Bespoke Edition at N120m to mark his 30 years as a born-again Christian and 27 years as a pastor. He had earlier bought a Range Rover (Autobiography) 2014 Model for N33m, reputed to be the costliest SUV in the world to mark this ministry’s milestone.”
Checks on the Internet showed that the cheapest price of same Rolls Royce model is about N65m, but it could be more expensive if armoured.
Fifty-five-year-old Okotie was in the news recently for the controversial comments he made during a church service in which he claimed that “all Catholics will go to hell,” and referred to Pope Francis as anti-Christ.

FOOL FINDER:

WHY? WHY ? WHY D NUMBER 2, WHY NOT D HEAD ?

That is his choice. Never judge any man you can't create. I'm not in support tho

Howmanage: na today? there is a well known muslim scholar who owns a church as a business in Nigeria

Can you name the scholar, his 'church' and your evidence for this?

vanity upon vanity is all vanity. The 120m spent, is enough to send 200 youths to school. On Judgement day we will all stand before Jah as equals.

Is this car more expensive than Adeboye's jet?

Just curious o

Those who are saying don't judge him, did they tell him he is not in position to judge CATHOLICS? Double standard!

Na so big boys dey do am.... see pastor dey drive my dream car...choi. i go change my carrier.

He should have bought clothes, food stuffs and other humane items and give to orphans and widows and the poor.

It is well

i just laugh o.c dis anti christ called okotie.devil @ work

ajoguegbe:
And who gave you the statistics of poor people in his church. Most of you wish pastors are poor, it is the desire of the devil too, but its too late they have discovered their rights in Christ. If you as an ordinary member realize your right in Christ and work hard, you will join the rich class, its not meant for pastors alone but some are leading by example.

It was Judas who criticized Mary for spending on Christ with the argument that such spending should have been given to the poor, an argument Jesus countered(John 12:3-5). The same old trick of the devil: trying to use compassion for the poor to stop believers from getting any favour. For crying out loud 90% people are poor by choice not by chance. Many had the same challenge that made them poor but utilized it to become rich while they were giving excuses. You don't expect me to be living poor just because their are people who refused to pay the price that I paid. Some people are making money now while some are always on Nairaland lazying and looking for the next pastor to criticize, later in life they will look for those to blame for their poverty: either government or uncle. I have told myself, I have no reason to be poor and even if I am a pastor, it has not changed my conviction. Hate me as you can, its not my fault, I labour for it like some pastors do

Disclaimer: Please note that I am not saying there are no theifing men of God, but such people often return to poverty, karma catches up with them. And even if not, they will pay the ultimate price but it is not you that should judge a God's servant(Rom 14:4), no not in a public forum, bible is against it; it is not you that should join the camp of the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:9-11)except you are working for the devil yourself
