Do you know one of the reasons the bible is referred to as a double edged sword? It's simply because it can be interpreted to lot's and lots of understanding.

Yeah I'm a Christian but I'm not overtly devoted to it. I'm a freethinker but I believe in Christianity. But one thing I never am is a hypocrite.

I know the truth. And I'll say it as much as I can.
thats why one should see beyond wealth as being a challenge into his kingdom... if you look at some wealthy men in the bible , at sometime they backslided .... david , solomon , nebuchadnezer and so many of them ... albeit , some still were successful and remained holy .. abraham, joseph and lots ... am sure why that part of rich man and his kingdom was because of the love God had for the rich that backslided . God cannot love you and you wont be successful.

why is the CEO of first bank not richer than dangote ... oga stop sleeping . CEO is an employee in most cases not the business owners ... you get it now . yea , jesus called ministy business ... it may not mean money business .. but whatever gain you see from it requires hardwork as long as it is business.
You are an airhead.
Dangote runs a legitimate profit seeking business just like the bank CEO, while oyedepo runs a charity.
People like you ironically, are very vocal against govt corruption.
Sorry,you have no moral right.

When you read comments by Nigerian youths, one will not be surprised at the level of mental deficiency in the country. It does not take any intelligence or creativity to criticize!

Most Nigerians are mentally lazy and believe that if you are rich, then you must be dubious. I know of Bishop Oyedepo and Pastor Matthew very well, and I must say that despite my education and years of work, I don't know one tenth of what these men know, and I aspire to read at least a tenth of how wide they read.

There are thousands of Nigerian Pastor, and only about 10 are rich...It is then very unintelligent for anyone to say that Nigerian Pastors are rich. Show me one rich pastor in Nigeria, I will show you 200 that can not send their children to good schools. The two Pastors I mentioned are men of God who at the same time have their businesses. I know Winners and KICC, and the folks there are not poor. There are captains of industries in these churches. Go to KICC , and see men and women who are doing well and still serving God. If these people who are more educated, intelligent and doing well in life more than many jobless Nairalanders are going to church and pay their tithes, is it not stupid for any jobless man to say the folks in Church are poor. What does a poor have to give in the first place.

It is intelligent to know how much churches make and how much they spend in a month, then you will know the truth. Winners Chapel owns Covenant University, KICC owns Kings University....and Covenant University charges lesser than St Gregory Obalende- a Catholic secondary school charges per term.

Does anyone know that Pastor Matthew own a rice farm here in Nigeria that is about 20 times bigger than the one owned by a state in which his farm is situated? Does anyone know that this man stands to Preach 3 hours at his age, yet many young men in their thirties can not stand for 30 minutes......Now a know, it does not take intelligence to criticize.

In fact some of your statements are shocking. You seem to be saying the Pastor is entitled to be living on the tithes, to be spending it for his personal luxury. The point is the Pastor is living on the gullibility of his followers; there is no doubt that the Pastors are clever, they have got to be clever to have that much money, but they are also defrauding their members in the name of God.

I can never accept that it is right or holy; for Pastors to cajole, motivate, stimulate their members to drop not only 10% of their earnings but also several offerings; only for the pastor to be using all that wealth for personal luxury. Churches are springing up like " Pure Water Factories "; some people are closing their shops and turning them to churches. WHY Of course they will tell you that "GOD CALLED THEM", but you and I know they are changing their business because they think they would make more money.

how many shop closers turned pastors have you seen on this list ... bro , the fact that donations are made in churches doesnt mean these pastors live solely of them . some hve got other businesses.... like I said , there are people giving to imams and ifa priest and people dont judge these guys ... all its just an avenue to frustrate the gospel . if you believe giving tithes makes you prosperous just as your prophet told you .... then there is nothing wrong . its your belief . its in the bible ... believe in your prophet and you shall be established. its as simple as that..... they dont force anyone to do it.

So so so well said...these men have read the bible so much that they correct the teleprompter atimes. They read wide, write and still have time for their businesses.
Last year Oyedepo was in Uyo till 3am and yet he was preaching in church by 6am and didn't stop till the last service by 12.30.
I salute his grace amn.

All of you talking down these men of God are bunch of hypocrites. Take Chris Oyakhilome for example, his total networth is estimated at $50m. that is the cost of Tinubu's latest private jet. Theophilus Danjuma gave his wife Daisy a private jet as a gift. U e-diots praise and defend them. now pastors everyone of you had something to say. As far as i am concerned, they shld have more.

For those asking about pastor Adeboye! He can't be rated like others simply because he isn't a church founder like others. Papa Akindayomi founded RCCG not Pastor Adeboye.

Prosperity Preacher Benny Hinn Begs Followers for $2.5M

Prosperity Gospel, Word of Faith heretic Benny Hinn of the Trinity Broadcast Network, who has made hundreds of millions of dollars over the years spreading his false gospel, is now pleading with his followers to send him $2.5M over a 90-day period in order to rescue his ministry from debt. In return for giving him money, Hinn promises his followers a “double return on investment” for every dollar they spend. This is yet another example of the shameless scams and manipulation by false teachers in the Christian church who use the love of money to lure unwitting believers into trying to use money to “buy favor and blessings” from God. Not only is this teaching not in the Bible, it goes against the true Gospel and is in fact a part of the apostasy – the end times falling away of much of the Christian church away from biblical Christianity and into false doctrine and satanic worship.

Hinn’s Plea
Here is an excerpt from Hinn’s request, which was emailed to his millions of followers worldwide, as stated on his ministry website:

“Let me quickly explain about this historic miracle: A long-time and beloved friend of mine and of this ministry shared something with me this week that literally touched me to the core!
“Benny,” he said, “God wants your ministry to be completely out of debt, and I want to plant an anointed seed that will help you take a giant step toward becoming totally debt-free!”
Now this is a very precious man of God whom I have known and loved more than three decades. He has been such a blessing to the cause of Christ. So when he said this, needless to say, I was thrilled beyond words at his unbelievable generosity and the remarkable timeliness of his offer.
You see, even as God has given us a new beginning, we have faced incredible challenges as a ministry as a result of things that happened in the past few years. At the same time our broken home was attracting attention from worldwide news services, the economies of so many of the countries where our partners live have been hit mercilessly. As a result, some of our partners decided to suspend giving or to simply walk away.
And while we have seen God beginning to restore so much, one of the last pieces of the puzzle has been our finances. So you can only imagine how it nearly took my breath away when he told me how much…
But then there was something more this man of God added:
Benny, God has laid it on my heart to plant a seed of $2.5 million into your ministry, but God only wants me to make this gift if the ministry partners match the amount within 90 days! I feel so strongly that He wants them to be part of the supernatural wealth transfer that is coming to every believer who will obey God’s Word.
What could I say? Immediately I saw the hand of God in this. Our Lord could have simply used our friend to plant the seed and be blessed immeasurably by it. But it was so evident that God wants to provide an even greater miracle than the $2.5 million. He desires for our partners and ministry friends to be blessed as they join together with this precious man of God by planting a much larger seed into the work of the Lord, and, in so doing, doubling the blessings.
I quickly told him, “I cannot say no. When I share with my partners what God is doing, they will jump at the chance to be part of this amazing opportunity. I just know it!”

U keep saying no body force u to pay.
have u imagine how yahooboys make their victims pay? It is called brainwashing, psychological manipulation, a promise of blessing. If u don't pay u won't get any blessing.
Only yahooboys and pastors understand this logic
