Tell your dad to go and look for a job...He sud use his hands to work, there is dignity in labour not sharing religious loots

Tell me what value he's contributing to humanity?
He's a soul reaper ba?

When the catholic church and other earlier churches were preaching moderate lifestyle irrespective of your financial and intellectual status, as one of the signs of humility (including an oath to poverty for their priests, which was the hallmark of the early christian teachings: many of the missionaries that brought christianity to africa died poor materially but rich in evangelical feats), the 'passion driven' today's preachers insisted the opposite was the way. Excessive show of material wealth took over the evangelical space and gave rise to the 'anti-christian FRC law.

THE DANGER AHEAD

Because of the wrong application of freely-given spiritual gifts by the ignorant 'know-it-all christians', Ecclesiastical Authority has now been technically surrendered to secular government comprising majorly atheists and islamic religion followers. If this trend is allowed to stay, where spiritual gifts are regulated by secular law, then the fate of christians in the next 10 years or more in Nigeria will be comparable to that of the early christians, which will drive many to islam as been speculated in many quarters. The implementation of the FRC law is not a redeem church problem as similar or worse controversy awaits other churches whenever it's time to change their leadership, it should rather be a source of concern to all true followers of christ that have the minutest form of vision. CHRISTIANS ARISE AND DEFEND YOUR FAITH, FOR THE SAKE OF THE NEXT GENERATION

Smh... I have nothing to say

I don't know of others but having seen the pay slip of a pastor in redeem, I know they pay tax.

Pastor Adeboye made the Redeemed church a big booming business that it is today... It will take a big fight to disentangle him from the leadership position of the church because the issue at hand is basically financial and not spiritual.

When will churches start paying taxes?

well said, the battle is financial.

An empire he has spent his life building.

what i saw in RCCG yesterday made me to have a rethink over this resignation issue.
it seemed as if some members were angry with Daddy G.O for retiring, cos they want him as the G.O as long as he is alive and because he is the church personified. The law had to be quoted to calm them.

i thought of two situations:
1. there was a time last year when the feeling was that there is a leadership tussle in RCCG on who will take over Pastor Adeboye, which made him to say that its not yet his time and that those who are looking for his death should not be expectant. but the feeling remained. it seems the man of God now wants to retire while alive so as to maintain peace and tranquility among the rank and file of the leadership. the reliance on this law may be a strong reason which the members will not gainsay or fight against, the law may be the fall-guy here.

2. I also feel that the man of God may be have triggered a revolution. he has set the ball rolling for other pastors who will always be judged by his stance on this issue of retiring. RCCG has been pro-FG and they will do many things out of their way to progress the changes promised by Buhari. Just like when you support a law, and you volunteer to be a guinea pig for its implementation, to show others it doesnt hurt.

whatever happens, i respect the humility of The Man of God. it has been exceptional since i know him. this is just the latest example. Bill gate had to resign as microsoft CEO to focus on his work in his lab at home, which led to designing the windows 10. Pastors should make disciples and hand over.

Akolawole:


I am NOT a member of RCCG but we just have to be careful

1) God use this man mightily for years. This is Church is NOT a business and cannot be.

This man is highly educated and even without church CANNOT suffer for life.

2) The man is over 70. With or without that law, he should be preparing for his exit little by little, which i think thats what he is DOING.

dammytosh:


Which Government ?

Is the Adegoruwa guy not a Redeem Pastor ?

Was the law not signed by Jonathan ?

Were they not all in support of Jonathan's clueless leadership and was he drunk when he signed ?

freshboi88:
A man says he is handing over and yet says he is d G.O of the world, pls is Nigeria not part of the world, when he was d G. O did he have a G.O of the world, when he was d G. O of Nigeria??, how can u say u have handed over and yet still claim to be spiritual father......

If u r truly sincere u want to hand over y not hand over completely and let the new man take over completely, all I see is insincerity from d part of Adeboye.

Y is he blaming Buhari as if the law was passed yesterday and signed by Buhari yesterday, y is he deceiving his congregation to make Buhari and Osinbajo look like the enemies here??, what does he mean by FG stop meddling in church affairs??.... So is the church only allowed to meddle in politics and govt affair and not the other way round also??.....

Adeboye resign sincerely and dnt seat tight like Yahya Jammeh of Gambia

Abillsable:



The RCCG is not Nigeria.It is not a political entity.It is the church of the living christ.It is spiritual in essense but operates in a physical world without forgetting its spirituality.

People are working hard daily. The gullible ones come to donate part of their hard earned income and people like ur father calling themselves pastors sit doing nothing saying others are chasing vanity...

But they sit amd enjoy the tithes and gifts from these men chasing vanity. it is these tithes they live on and use in looking good and raising their families and children to the best schools.

I hate pastors, nothing personal. They are the biggest scammers and hypocrites the world has ever known and shall ever know protected by religion and the very people they scam.

Tell this to your dad

proeast:
So when is Father Mbaka stepping down

Dee60:
Senseless Talk.

Now I know that being able to make noise does not mean that you are intelligent!

Ask people who were at the meeting - The man never said he was retiring. He only said that an overseer was being appointed for Nigeria, while he will continue his role looking after the churches in all 192 countries where RCCG has churches.

Some people jumped to the press without hearing the man out and the church swiftly corrected the mis-information spread by those people.

It is silliy to compare this to Gambia.

Pastor Obayemi has assumed his new role as Overseer for Nigeria (as announced) and Pastor Adeboye continues with his leadership of the church globally (as announced).

Stop the bullying. Stop mis-informing people.
