Some people just don't understand how the kingdom of God operates. This guy will still remaim poor even if Okotie gives him 100 million Naira because of the mindset he is operating with. The same goes with those who attend churches where they pay tithe but goes behind to grumble or come to Nland to complain. Such people don't receive anything. The road to blessing in this kingdom is honor. He shouldve been seeking for the Man of God's blessing. When Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa died many of his pastors went to meet the wife to pay them what her deceased husband owed them, it was Oyedepo dat came and paid those people off. Today where are those people and where is Oyedepo? Its in observing these kingdom principles dt is d secret behind oyedepos rise and some jobless fellows come here to say he ate tithes One last example: J. Martins that is popular today is a member of my church Dominion City. He is a well known begger. He used to play keyboard and the church will try to pay him he will refuse and prefer to be begging people money after service. Ask anybody in Dominion City who knew him them. One time my pastor David Ogbueli called him out and prophesied that his musical career will go global. He released his first christian music but did not sale b4 he met P2 by a struck of luck. Today, he is a big boy in terms of cash rising from nothing. Nlanders u need to undestnd our kingdom; what Isaac gave Jacob was not material but a BLEsSing. It used to be more coveted than the material things. Be faithful wt your tithe for thosr of you who pay and don't grumble And for some of the issues some raised from my write up, go to page 3 for my reply(pages may differ if you are not using mobile phone) 15 Likes |

I understand you but in this case he was promised a salary which the pastor paid him a few months and stopped for whatever reason but yet receiving his services Isn't that taking advantage of the man? 14 Likes |

Some people have totally been brainwashed to the level that they cannot think on their own anymore. So if you knew all the principles of God's blessings, how come you have not become the richest Nigerian. You guys should stop listening to the lies your jet-loving-pastors are feeding you with. So J-Martins is now a success because he did not collect his salary and the elevation God gave to him is to be singing "give me your fine fine love" and others. Some Nigerians will never cease to amaze me. Why wont your pastor prophesy such when he knew the guy was very good and would go places, plus he was happy not paying him. Let me tell you, God's blessings most times is not even in monetary forms, its only Nigerians that go to church with expectations of what God will do for them, they never go there to worship him in true love and spirit, always expecting something from him, so its safe to say you lot don't really love Him. Trust me, if not for those expectations and miracles, most Nigerians will never step into any church. @OP----Okotie should pay the guy up, even if he never owed the guy, is it not only Christlike to help him with some money so he can continue his life, afterall he was very useful in the church. These pastors are very stingy. 55 Likes |

I will personally suggest to Pastor Chris Okotie to pay the man his money after they have sat down to compute his wages and his benefits. This is to avert unnecessary rumblings in the Kingdom of God. This all whole story does not edify the name of our God. Even if it can be proved that there was no agreement as per payment of salary or provision of apartment, I think it is ideal to settle this matter once and for all 1 Like |

High_Chief: Thank you very much for your great reasoning, must it be tithes and offerings that makes God to bless people? Many are paying tithes and offerings everyday looking for the fruits of the womb, while the mad women and the poorest women in the society are giving birth freely and safely without even knowing the church premises. You said clearly my dear that the quest for riches and success is the dominating reason why churches are always filled up every worshiping days. The blessings of God is absouletly free, when you worship him in truth and faith, love your neighbor as you love yourself. The politicians in Africa have capitalized in this ignorance of our people to be dealing with us, because they know that we have forgotten our fundamental rights as the citizens, because we need our everything from God in heaven, than asking them about the blessings which God gave us at our respective towns and villages. If you look very well you would see that these so called GO of the big and influential churches are very close to the Rulers of this country. Imagine someone who eats from the church calling a pianist a volunteer to God? Chei Nigeria, how does he give all the tithes and offering money to God in heaven? This is a sheer wickedness, a jobless fellow who plays an instrument that moves members of your church, with an empty stomach, while you visit both local and foreign banks every day with heavy amounts of cash. Which God is these so called men of God worship my people? Jesus Christ used 5 fishes and 7 loaves of bread which people donated as tithe and offering to feed multitudes, while our own pastors use theirs to oppress the multitudes. This was a man who has been contesting to rule this country, instead of him to pay this young man off; he prefers to use more money to intimidate him. If anyone wants to work for Christ, the fellow must emulate Christ in Love, simplicity, and humility, he is the Way, Truth and Life. Which way Nigeria? 25 Likes |

I think you're both a bigot and prejudicial. Were you there when they had an agreement of pay or no-pay? So, why pass judgement on the guy without concrete evidence? I know people volunteer to work for God, but how many of our pastors work for God for free? Pastors earn heavily from the coffers of church but, other workers should starve to death? Abeg, I dislike your view point entirely! 9 Likes |

I am not a big fan of Pastors, but in this case, this is just an unserious adult who puts his frustration on the Pastor.The guy is 42years old (not 40) and he is very unserious with his life. He dropped out of Delta State University where he was studying music.He lacks total discipline and even the bulk of his family members do not take him serious.he is not married and do not make any significant value to family issues. On this particular case, he is just being ungrateful.I know that Chris Okotie did lot for this young man. Okiotor has quarrelled with everybody. Ask him why his rich brother(Abel) did not help him.He picked up a quarrel with his brother on a similar issue, and it took family to call him to caution,He also had quarrels with his brother,s wife Ote, cos he expected so much from them.His mates have all surpassed him, now he is frustrated. I do not attend ChrisOkotie,s church neither do i live in lagos, but i can tell you i know this guy from his days at Ughelli. Tell me, who works for 14 years without pay? Lets think about that for a min. this guy is a complete joke, who is looking for who to put his failure on.He goes by the name DAFPH DAF on facebook.If you go to his wall, you can find a tread of how childish , disrespectful and immature he is. Even Atiku went back to apologise to Obasanjo, not to mention of this case. 1 Like |

Without being judgemental,i have many issues with this so called chris okotie aka man of God.he is one of d most controversial pastors and he does many things that should be unheard of as a christian,much more a pastor.does d bible not implore masters to pay their workers their wages,apart from d messy stunts with all his wives,now its his workers,however d keyboardist too made a mistake,he should have made d controversial pastor sign an agreement stating terms and conditions and also stating how much he will be collecting monthly knowing d type of boss he will be dealing with,because if this man takes this case to court,okotie can deny ever promising him salary and say he was working for God and shouldnt expect any salary,there are high vhances that d man can loose d case more so this is nigeria,when money exchanges hands in d right places,what happens? Justice is perverted,this man should just live everything for God as he is d best judge who is incorruptible,Gods judgement is slow,yes,but it is just and God is also d rewarder of those who deligently seek him.smh.i feel for the man though 1 Like |
