Have you ever been to Church without your offering or tithe, and still expecting your Pastor to pray for those who do not have? Your disappointment was later confirmed when your Pastor prayed for only those who had either payed their tithe or offering.

This is a trend that happens not only in your Church, but every where. Pastors are biased and sometimes discriminate between the rich and poor and between those that give or those who do not have.

Pls note, before posting this topic, I did a bit of research within the Church circle and found out that a lot of people are also concern about the Church or Pastors attitude.

Don't get it wrong, they do pray for those who do not have once in a while, but overall, they take delight in neglecting these set of people often.

I for one have experienced a lot of this in my Church, and often been let down by my Pastors.

Maybe through rushing to Church you forgot to take your wallet from the previous clothe you had on, and at the end, you missed out on the blessings. Or perhaps you don't have anything to give for that day, would that constitute deprivation from your Pastor to omit you from the offering blessings?

pls have your say,

You are right, sometimes I wonder if salvation is for sale

Pastors are money mongers and selfish. They are greedy and boastful. They exaggerate always and often repeat testimonies you've heard from other Pastors.

They come to the pulpit and testify of the Lord's goodness and blessings in their lives, but often fail to bless thier sheeps with such blessings (money wise).

Church is business and the purpose of any business is to make as much profit as it can. Am dissapointed in yuo coz i thought you knew this.

u are right.it is very unfortunate that most of them are now serving their belly n not God.they so much love money that some of them tell lies with God's name just for money.it calls for wisdom n prayers for discernment of spirit when dealing with them

i tel u most solemly d churches ve collectin n dey neva giv bak.

me sef i'm disappointed, but most of all, I'm disappointed that you even give the issue more thought than it deserves. the pastor doesnt bless you, God does. who says all those that have givenoffering and tithes get blessed when the Pastor prays for them? my dear, you better think again.

i've never been to a church where the pastor only prayed for those who gave money.

if you're in such a church then waka if your mind no dey there.

and mind you, i'm in no way saying all churches are kosher.

My dear, I believe its worth given a thought over, can't tolerate this attitude in the house of God.

@bee444,

Why do you need anyone to pray for you? Are you incapable of praying for yourself? Where in the bible does it say someone has to pray for you? If a pastor does not pray for you, so what? After all, the man has a lot of things on his mind, like what kind of Hummer to buy next and how to fleece even more money from the mumus who insist on giving their hard earned (although sometimes stolen money) to their pastor.
The problem is not whether the pastor prays when you give him your meagre offering (why are you so parsimonious), the problem is that you will give him your money at all.
Amusing post

words of wisdom even though its coming from an atheist.

not that i subscribe to the rest of your post.

For the most part most Pastors are religious capitalists. The brand of Christianity proliferating ubiquitously in our society has nothing to do with Jesus Christ but evrything to do with the insatiable greed of Pastors, Bishops and GO's whose sustainace is a function of the laity's benevolence. This principally compromises everything they do, because they will always have one eye on the bottom line, consequently they cannot tell the truth always, TRUTH IS A BAD BUSINESS.

@ poster

The whole concept is base on capitalism & exploitation, . What do you expect.

@13volts:

I sense in you a bias against the exploitative side of capitalism and the so called free market economy and it's manifestation in almost every sphere of human endeavor. I would like you to critic some of the article I've written. I guess I'm a capitalist with socialist moorings, Holler at me on 08067597101. I apologize if this proves an inappropriate way to get your attention, regardless it is what it is.

I demand you started paying closer attention to 'Offering time'. You'd be amazed!

^ is that the only time they prayed in this your church?

in the churches[b] I [/b] know of, the offering prayer many times also includes those who want to give but are unable to.

but your own side is different from mine sha.

I think you still don't get the gist. I'm not talking about general praying session or some random prayers that goes on in the Church, I'm talking about Offering prayers for goodness sake. Don't they pray for offering and tithe in your church? This is the prayer or blessing from the Pastor to those who are either paying their tithe or giving their offering.

I said most Pastors disregard those who do not have!

if you say so!
