No doubt, prayer is essential but we can pray from anywhere.

Bros, people have to feed which simply means market has to be opened for individuals but church gathering should be suspended for now.
Every member should worship at home or organize a house fellowship. It doesn't mean God won't answer our prayers

Ejima1:

Exactly, how can they allow people for 6 Hours in Market and not allow them for two hours in church

Yes they've started complaining. Bleeping bastards!. All they care about is their offering money.

Maxymilliano:
Oyedepo is right tho ...

Church na market too

Some old people no go understand you o. They'll come for you.

Will church feed them like jesus did?

Ejima1:

Prayer is also essential

I hope and pray that Nigeria will be riddled of religion without godliness.

i do not also see any reason why people would b allow to go market and stop people from going to church. It doesnt add up

There should be some kind of universal qualification system to become a religious minister, including a mental health check. It should not be this easy for anyone to become one

emmasege:
There are alternatives to 'church gathering' as individuals can still meet at family or house fellowship level. But there is no alternative to going to market. People must feed.

Abi Bishop will feed his flock (tens of thousands) with physical food after feeding them with spiritual food? Jesus did it, Bishop should also do it.

Bishop Oyedepo should announce free lunch for all worshippers on Sunday with an additional #5000 pocket money for indingent worshippers every Sunday.

And let no pastor sermonise worshippers to give. The giving should be voluntary and the poor should not be made to feel as if they sinned by not giving or that they are blocking their source of blessings by not paying tithe.

The gospel has gone beyond the elementary doctrines of tithing, giving and prosperity.

Your first paragraph is the correct Answer via Oyedepo statement.

Relax, allow them raise money na, there will be enough offerings and thieth when things return to normal.

Mega rich pastor offering and tithe is not coming

I havent liked this businessman disguised as a pastor, broad daylight robbery go on in his church in d name of tithes, dis man is not a pastor abeg, anybody can be a pastor start up his/her own church& start looting people's money.. d gullible ones wuld soon overrun this post with"touch nt thy anointed & do d prophet no harm" well I've touched him all over...

Markets & church are nt d same his Ist service would not garner less than 100k followers all packed together like sardines, in d need t make sure more tithe is recovered for months of absence, every social distancing rule would be broken..

Food

Tissaia:
What the difference?

This guy should shut up and allow people to buy foodstuff, no be your preaching go feed them. these men of God need to face reality sometimes.

Richest pastor in the world who once said he was dangerously rich...

Thanks for donating two brand new buses and some food stuffs in supporting the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria few weeks ago...

Of course, this donations is an indication of how dangerously rich you are...

Hmmm.....

The way this lockdown they affect some business center otherwise called ..... no be small...

I no go talk o

Oyedepo is right. What is the meaning of this country? I never believe Nigeria can stop Churches and Mosques from observing Sundays and Fridays prayers. Go to ATM machines, Banks, Markets even road side and see the populations of people. Lets our government remove the embargo placed on Religious center. I cry every time i pass through the central Mosque in my community and see it closed always. God please come and heal our Land.

It seems like the tithes and offerings are drying up

It's easier to use facemask to market bt kind of difficult to church.... Besides market is essential as source of food... Where two or more people gather its said that the lord is there with them... A family can pray to God in their home... What ever happened to televised service... One thing we should be concerned about now is education system going down the drain.... The online thing isn't working.

Government should pass a bill on religion worship to be made strictly on line, on air. If u want to listen to your pastor/Imam sermon tune to radio or TV, or Instagram etc turn all the worship centers to Malls, Super marker, residential apartment etc.

It is not compulsory that we go to church. We can pray at home and God will answer us. However, we cannot do without going to the market to buy food as they cannot be planted and manufactured overnight at home. There's no basis for comparing the two of them.

Well, due to my intellectual Capacity and my vast knowledge, tactically and tentatively, especially in the light of relative issues, I've come to a concrete, definite and profound conclusion that i actually have nothing to say�

what a shallow thinking, you only know what you know

People can Worship and Pray in their homes .....

abeybaba:
Baba said God spoke to him yesterday, how did he forgot to ask God for covid-19 cure so we can congregate again. Abi the communication was one-way?

This bald headed bros is fighting for his own market

Ejima1:

Prayer is also essential

You can pray from home, but can't get food from home. #ThinkAboutIt....

Man shall not live by bread (market) alone but by every word (spiritual food) that proceeds out of the mouth of God

Zooposki:
Never knew Oyedepo was this foolish.

ah! U and ur likes

Shut up and face ur Islamabad
