adegeye38:

in all my post did i ever mentioned anything about worshiping a pastor?

all my posts has always been in relation with God

am a child of God and a preacher of the word too

I have said everything that needs to be said on the issue of tithe

the issue of tithing is a seperate thing

tithing is between you and God

wether you tithe to church or to any other place as led by God is a diff thing entirely

church, ministries and missions mostly rely on tithe, sowing and donations

that why God admonished us to tithe

if you continue to talk this way, then you did not read my ealier posts or you did not understand it well

If you are a born again Christian as you claim, you wouldn't talk this way

keep an open mind, go and pray, read and meditate on God's word, and you will understand better

ps: am done typing....

You are a very ignorant Christian. So Evans' wealth is a sign of God's blessings abi? I should see only the good side of things sounds like selfishness. If Bill Gates only saw the good side of things, he would not be pumping money into healthcare and education in Africa. It is selfishness to close my eyes to cases of lack of transparency in churches, especially in the face of poverty. Just so you know prosperity is not a sign of anything. The devil can give prosperity too, at least according to the Bible. All you need is to bow down to him. (He even told Jesus that).

Oyedepo does not have to drive a rickety car. No one said he should be poor as a church rat but all Paul told Timothy was to be content. To only ask for the basic things of life: shelter, clothing and food. What else does a man of God need. Modesty is something that a man of God should chase. A 500000 naira car does not have to be rickety. As long as it can move and move fine. A beautiful modest house is OK. He should eat modestly. Every other wealth should go into humanity. What is the essense of a private jet or gigantic church buildings? Are we building a church or mansion? A shepherd is not just to feed the church (the body of Christ, and not those mansions) with the word of Christ but with food. In the early Church, people brought their money and fruits before the Apostles who in turn shared it among the church. Peter did not buy a ship. Even Paul who was constantly sent out (meaning of "Apostle")did so on commercial ships. If Oyedepo can take his mind away from the riches of these world, he would understand the true meaning of sacrifices and the futility of building mansions while thousands languish in poverty.

you lack understanding and I was expecting this. 3rd John vs 2. Read that. I never said Evans wealth is God's blessings. The devil gives wealth. Whatever is obtainable in God's kingdom is obtainable with the devil except salvation. The bibles says also, it's only God's blessings that adds no sorrow meaning the devil's blessings adds sorrow. Like I said Prosperity and health is God's blessing and when I said that I was referring to Godly people and not people like Evans. It's only common sense that it seems you don't have that made you think I meant every propserity is from God. Oga, Bill Gates is investing in Africa but if you must know, he is actually doing business. He is doing a social business. His investment comes with profit. There are many things you are ignorant of... that is the legal proceedings before his investment in Africa. If you think Oyedepo and likes are not investing positively... check again!

LordOfNaira:


My friend, keep quiet!!! Your premise was that prosperity is a sign of God's blessing. So since Evans is prosperous, then it must be God's blessings. Chikena.

And about Bill Gates, could you explain how investment and philanthropy are the same thing here?

MadCow1:



Yeah.. The letter from Paul (a.k.a Saul the Christian Mass Murderer) to the Church in Corinthains..

Okay... Give me a few minutes to provide you with a 'robust' response to that very abused passage of the Bible. I need to sort some things out then read that scripture and respond.

Read this bible commentary on that passage..

majekdom2:
Yes, prosperity is a sign of God's blessings. I haven't denied I didn't say that. Like I said, I will be stupid to say a prostitute is blessed by God for prostituting. If your common sense didn't tell you I was referring to God's children when I mentioned that then your level of reasoning is appalling.
Philantrophy as it were was someone's idea and it has evolved. It's not just charity as it were. Business men see that they can actually make money by helping the poor rather than just give the money and it gets burnt away. Why not empower the people, give them education. Invest in social business. Thats what they are doing. Creating businesses that will help solve the problem of the poor and in turn they still gain from it. Check around you, you will find that he is investing in humans, Ideas solving problems of the poor. Get informed bro

Lol I swear, people just turn off that "use your brain" button as long as you claim to be pastor.

Fastest way to earn money

And all we have to do is give motivational speeches, tell them what they want to hear and give advices when it comes to marriage and co. Tell them all their problem is not caused by being lazy etc but it's because of the devil.

LordOfNaira:


Just learn, already. Prosperity is not a sign of God's blessings. If it were, Evans should be an evidence of God's blessings. After all, he would have been counted as blessed if he wasn't smoked out. The difference between Evans and any billionaire church goer is that Evans has been exposed. There are thousands of prosperous church goers who are probably into worse deals. One of them, Bishop, even built a church from supposed drug deal money.

As for Bill Gates, I will like to know how he gains from his philanthropy in terms of profit.

Vikkie14:
And what about you? Small thief? Like he came to your house in the dead of the night to cart away your valuables?

Learn to respect people who are called 'men of God' even if they are not 'God-called' but are "stomach-Called"... Everyone will give account. Just like Jesus said, let both the Chaff(belly-called) and the Wheat(God-called) grow together, the time of the harvest is near when they will be separated and put where each belong.

And to you My Bro, Mathew 12:36 says: "But i say unto you that 'every' IDLE words that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement".

Don't let (the morality of) any Man-of-God push you to do contrary to God's word.
