Wow, 15years?dis is lovely. The government would av abandoned the project if dey had started it. This shows how focus and goal oriented the Church of Christ is. If dis model is reproduced in the country's leadership, Nigeria will become a paradise in no time

This is a million dollar worth religious rendezvous looking like First Class Stadium. Pope de gbaladun... (Fela).Complete the rest.

If 10%, zakat, and tax were to be evenly distributed, poverty and recession would be drastically reduced, and SMEs will grow rapidly in Nigeria.

Wow....a wonderful edifice!

building churches everywhere while some of the citizens sleeping under the bridge

In my church, we pay tithes and use it for the good samaritan Sunday. We feed the poor, bail out civil servants who are being owed, tar street roads and give scholarships.

I pay my tithes, I give to the poor and I donate to an orphanage near my house consistently. Best of all, my business this year has made more profit than my earnings from 2012 to 2016 combined, so my tithes have increased and will continue to increase until Jesus comes.

Lest I forget, my Bishop and his pastors use a private jet. Oya, daddy freeze and other haters, go and spike your heads into the nearest transformer.

No sects in Christianity

There are a lot of sects in christianity.I am sure you have heard of evangelical Christians,liberal Christians,conservative Christians,progressive christians and others.Mind you these sects are mainly seen outside Nigeria.Nigeria really doesn't have it's Christian churches under this sects the most common usage are either you are catholic anglican or protestant a.k.a. Pentecostal these are the terms used in Nigeria but in other parts of the world especially the U.S.A. These are the sects you most likely findTake for example progressive christians are in support of same sex marriage.just Google it out you would see.

U collect tithes period.
Do u screen the tithes to know if they are from looters or not?
Have ur church won more souls than LFC or CE or Synagogue or redeemed?
Spiritually uncircumcised man is trying to divide the body of Christ and hypocrites like u are choosing the side of the divide u want to belong to. Instead of identifying with the unity of the body of Christ.

All this my church is this my church is that other churches are bad has to stop. Unless its only ur church that genuinely makes up the body of Christ.



Happy for DLCF though. God deserves the most beautiful structures on earth. The church will keep marching on.

Best response.

It is laughable bro, We just got our independence 60 odd years ago, I believe it's still the hangover
It doesn't seem to matter to us that this same offering of religion to take land and slaves was done by the Arabs/Christians in EVERY continent they went. Some day we would snap out of it

ZombiePUNISHER:
We can never get it right in this country
And I have absorbed the political elites from any blame

The citizenry are bunch of fools
It is on record that the number of churches in Lagos is more than that of the entire West Africa
The religious edifice in Nigeria be it Muslim or Christian can certainly compete with their counterparts all over the globe

But can we say same about the hospitals...universities and what have you
We now carry religion on our head even more than the people that brought it to us
We have thrown common sense through the window

God will not come down from heaven and fix this country for us
He in his inifite mercy gave us brains to do so
Lets make use of it

Gbagada traffic is about to go from bad to really worse. You build a 45000 capacity church in a neighbourhood and residential area. How do you want pple in that neighbourhood to survive?

Is this the one in Gbagada?

Yes.

We collect tithe, not from looters not to buy private jets, but to bring more men to christ.

We don't collect tithe from looters like you know the meaning of looters ... Not all overseers deserves a private jet, irrespective of the size of their congregation . If you don't have up to ten genuine appointment outside Nigeria, monthly you don't deserve to own a private jet because the running cost won't be justified in the end beside, if it took fifteen years to complete this structure, something should tell you that the funding for a private jet is not readily available.

Pentecostalism especially in Nigeria was founded on division and segregation among members of the body of Christ. Have you wondered why your church always admonish new converts to identify with only 'bible-believing-churches' like CE, Assemblies, Winners etc and carefully avoiding orthodox churches like the Anglican, the Catholic , Presbyterian etc? The answer is segregation!

Good for them,it is not easy to own a church.One of the biggest source of employment is being a pastor.Which i am looking forward to very soon.Thinking of naming it Demon destroyers ministry or God's people salvation ministry,still thinking of a name though. Being a pastor in Nigeria is one of the best ways to make money.

Have you ever addressed a crowd of 100 and got a standing ovation for your brilliance let alone be able to divide the word of God.

The building took fifteen years not necessarily because of funds but other factors that came along during its construction, including architectural complexity... Plus the church had to build an. Overhead bridge worth over 2billion to ease traffic in that area.. And as for a private jet, i can tell you deeper life can afford one if it desires so... Kumuyi was once interviewed on that and his response was that it wasn't neccessary..

do u know d meaning of a christian? Christianity is not a religion. The Bible made it clear that a Christian is not a sinner and a sinner is not a Christian. Christian is Christ-like. So forget about those sects. If u like u can quote me.

Where did you say it is located? I wish one of this gigantic buildings built with common wealth should be located in some other parts (regions) of the country.

the same capacity with Stamford bridge.

If you are to Christian, whether of Deeper Life or any other denominations, STOP contributing to the controversy of the Tithe or any other church doctrine. The world doesn't wish you well.
How many other religions doctrine and practices do they bring under public scrutiny and disrepute?

Wise up, the war is between God's Kingdom and the devils's!

This place is too lavish for a sect that celebrates conservatism.

Oponu de.

The way ppl are attacking the church I find it strange. We pay taxes, levies , fines etc to state and FG both as individuals and corporate bodies yet most of us provide our water, generators, security (olode) etc and social infrastructures and services are in bad state. Yet on a daily basis our money is being looted. We hail, respect, follow, fight and even kill for these looters. Yes OUR money. Taxes,levies etc are compulsory. Yet we don't go after those who are stealing it or misapproraiting it but we go after churches n pastors. I laugh. Tithes offering are not compulsory. I got to church and I can't remember when last I paid tithes or gave offering. I'm not ashamed to sit down or pass the bag to the next person. No b by force.

whether it is Christ like is not my business i just corrected him.You can go and tell those different sects it is not my concern those sects all have different interpretations of the bible study them for yourself and please do not be narrow minded.On whether Christianity is not a religion i don't know but what i know is that religion is a strong belief in a supernatural being that controls human endeavours.And Christianity is identified under religion.I don't know about your own definition.It is nothing personal,there is nothing wrong in getting knowledge outside the block.

About the crowd i can't categorically say it is a hundred but i have surely addressed a crowd and got a standing ovation.About the word of God in Nigeria you don't need to be called by God,just go to a biblical school and you are a pastor.
