Table Leg :

It doesnt settle anything ... He could be lying .... He is not any different from the average human being and therefore he can sin over and over again....
And when i mean sin, its not just lying here ... but stealing and fraudulently obtaining or obtaining by deception!
I am pretty much certain David Oyedepo dipped into church funds, tithes and offerings to amass some of his personal wealth and assets!

Lucasbalo: Like we say in chitown, the guy is a hustler.

stuhporh:
My dear freind, dont be an hypo**** or maybe its what you are. the way it is in christianity, its same in all religion, but those who seek the light and knows the truth, and in it loves his neighbour hurts, when his neighbour follows a blind man. the case is not to criticize a man of GOD, instead, it is too make ourselves aware of either the obvious, or obvious concealed behind religious belief.

m.k.o2005:

The bible is the most complete book ever available to man ! You see everything in it ! As you study with the help of the holy spirit,your eyes keeps opening !
See below comments to the Corinthians as made by Apostle paul :
'[b]'If we have sown spiritual seed among you,is it wrong if we reap a material harvest from you ?-1 Corinthians 9:11
In the same way God has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel-1 Corinthians 9:14[/b]
See below instruction to the Galatians:
''Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor-Galatian 6:6''
See below instruction to the Philippians by Apostle Paul:
''Not that i am looking for a gift but i am looking for what may be credited in your account-Phillipians'' 4:17
Friend,i did not show you all these for you to see that it is good we should be exploited by men of GOD -NO but that it is not wrong at all if we give to men of GOD !If they choose to xploit us,let God be the judge !
We have been told by the WORD of God that all authorities that be are instituted by God and that we should submit to these authorities- Romans 13:1[b]''Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities,for there is no authority except that which God has established.The authorities that exist have been established by God''Will christ ask us to submit and HE will not submit HIMSELF ?NO-That was why he paid HIS tax too. (Cesars or imperial tax)So give back to ceasar what is ceaser's and God what is GOD'S. [/b] The only time the word of God does not want or permit us to submit to authorities is wen the authority go negative i.e contradicting the word of God !See the case of the 3 Hebrew children;Shedrack, Meshack and Abadnego.They refuse to bow down to the Babylonian god and the Almighty God stood by them inspite their disobedience!
Who told you that Jesus was never required to pay his tax ?
The Imperial or ceasar's tax was a tax imposed on subjects that are not Roman citizens. Christ also did pay that tax without any complain or objection whatsoever and the people(accusers) were marveled !
I think you are referring to the tabernacle tax !
The tabernacle tax which was made a law by moses that all who worship at the synagogue must pay for the upkeep of the synagogue. See below what christ said and did concerning the tabernacle tax which is very different from the government tax(Cesar's tax):
MATHEW 17:24-27
Pls go through the above scriptures and the Holy spirit will help you see what you need to see !
Gifts were given to Apostle paul but he told them that his receiving those gifts isn't becos he want's to but just becos he want's them to have something in their heavenly account.
Men of God who are truly called can't take advantage of us ! But if they do,let God be the judge
God bless us

erico2k2: I dont have any qualms wether he built it with church money or not.what we should realy question is what was the reason for the building of the uni.is ot for profit or to help people .Now how and howmany people has he hwlped.should the wisdom and knowledge of God be used as a means to accumulate wealth?

bankylan: @Modicum.....This is just too shallow......Trying to find the source of wealth of a man God has blessed by applying logic is pretty dumb.

While young men like you are giving millions of naira for the work of God, you put yourself in a position of one of the poor that will rather be looking for a man of God to give to them.
I have never seen a blessed man criticize men of God that are blessed..it has always been the pastime of the poor, the jobless, and the frustrated. You can claim to be a Christian by religion. But being a Christian by religion does not guarantee you success and wealth if you don't follow the principle of Jesus Christ. Covenant university if built by the giving of young men and women who understand the principle of Christ. My friend is one of those people that gave to Covenant even while he was struggling as a man. Today, God has blessed him.

Young man, I don't pray for money....I only need to look for opportunity to sow.

Have you wondered why your criticism has not affected the men of God. Do want to say you are more intelligent than thousands of believers that go to winners on Sundays and worship God with their substance. I am not a member of winners, but I pray God bless me more so that I can sow into the ministry. I need to tap a grace there.
Watch out, my own private jet is coming.....If I can afford one, I will buy one...if I can build a University, I will build one.

Eziachi:
It shows how wicked Jesus say many like you will become by twisting God's word to suit your evil actions.
What apostle Paul was referring to there to the Corinthians is not about them acquiring new houses or the latest chariots, the materialism he is referring is the direct physical benefit one get when a spiritual seed sown in a person works.

For a example-1 If you you are to sow a spiritual seed in a person, maybe to help and successfully convince a smoker, a gambler or a drug abuser to stop doing those things, he will reap the material benefit of a good health, better use the money he spent on smoking or drug/gambling.
He is not talking about be accumulation of material money wealth as a direct link to a successful spiritual seed.

-2 If the spiritual seed sown is to work in many of us and we becomes good people, the material benefit is that we will have less crime victims, less money building and maintaining prisons and the money will be then used for other better things and less tax and that benefits everybody.
That is what apostle Paul is talking about.
This how your you and your pastors twist God's word to suit what you are doing. And you claim to know the scriptures. Shame.

m.k.o2005:

Are the church fund yours ?
If you say he sinned,did he sin against you or God ?
If you say he used tithe money and offerings to amass some of his personal wealth,have you given tithe or offerings in that church before ?
Let's say you have given tithe and offerings there beocs ''u worship there'',calculate the total amount of offerings and tithe you have given and tell us !
LET GOD BE THE JUDGE !
Jesus loves you and he cares for ur soul !
God bless us

aribisala0:
But "men of God" have come out OPENLY to claim curing AIDs and no one in their church spoke out naa
These "men of God" have been lying in public for ever.

Do you mean no one spoke out to say the men of God are lying or to affirm that they are telling the truth

Eziachi:
Because you crooked idea of God's blessing is simply gets rich and that is simply the theme of your pastors. People like you will never knew the air you breathing, sunshine, Snow, Sunshine, photosynthesis that makes our food to grow and beautiful plants and animals around us is God's blessing. Unless you becomes over night rich, God hates you. The Chinese and Russian economy is booming, these people don't even believe in God, if money is the blessing, I wonder if God was drunk when he made them prosperous.
Many past and modern kings are not God lovers, it never stop them becoming rich, how does that supports your theory of riches equal God's blessing?

coogar:

i couldn't have said it better....
if the pastor says the university wasn't built with tithes and offerings, so be it. however, i think they should be using the funds they get more judiciously. instead of buying jets, they can build a large factory for the unemployed youths in the church. the wealth should be spreading down the pyramid!

How many jets has he bought so far? It's only one na...

Vanneni: Do you mean no one spoke out to say the men of God are lying or to affirm that they are telling the truth

Vanneni: How many jets has he bought so far? It's only one na...

etymology: @baby123: SHUT UP! who told you he's lying. for ur info, C.U has a sister university called Landmark university and more than 60 percent of its students are on scholarship!!!! so dont you come up here talking trash! aho are you to judge a man of God? have u judged ur self?!!!!!

Angerrr, take it easy

Table Leg :

My friend shut up .... The fact of the matter is that the wealth, riches and assets they have amassed are very likely to have come from the pockets of the church members ... And bottom line is that it is wrong!
Such people do not need to be preaching and propagating the word of God!
Gullible and brainwashed people like you need to wake up and smell the coffee!!!

Yankeeman: Bishop George of faith Christian center has a beautiful private jet,bunch of poor people are in America too when Kenneth Copeland gave out almost 18 private jets.
lots of pastots and. nonpastos are having private jets all around the world. His gift probably openning ways for him.Same Bishop said years back that we should contribute towards a church project. i sold my stuff and gave the money towards the project. that same year my life was change financially.His teaching works and people blessing him in return

m.k.o2005:

No more than one ! I think God is planning to bless him with some more !
God bless us

oyb: if there is no transparency, how do you know it is not money laundering?

all these institutions need to be audited.

who knows who the mysterious donors are and what it is they do?

But is this really any body's business If he refuses to tell then let him be unless some one can clearly come out and prove that this man is into some dubious acts. It's not right to judge without facts and proofs. Not withstanding, I have my doubts and suspicions but I can't go about pointing accussing fingers at him. What proof(s) do I have? If there's a law of the land that says he has to publicly declare his assets and their source then he's under obligation to because it's a law and it's actually not a bad one. The Bible does say we should be subjected to our rulers because they are kept over us to watch over us and to hold us accountable. * I KNOW NIGERIAN RULERS ARE CORRUPT THOUGH....*

m.k.o2005:

You are speaking on behalf of the people who are yet to come ask you for help ! What a good lawyer,human right activist or communist i guess you are ! Stop persecuting Christ ! This was exactly what Saul was doing before his arrest by Jesus ! Pray for ur salvation and God will show you HIS face and HIS grace will abound in ur life.
God bless us

Anvaller:

If he received the cars as gifts, the MOG could also have given the car back as gifts to deserving church members, so why auction? Think about it.

Reyginus: And I say I am God. So be it.

Dude is a thief that would die by the sword, so why bother disturbing yurself

How do you knowand how sure are you that what you know is the fact

Joagbaje: If the man of God , said he didn't use church money that should settle it. He couldnt have said so openly if it's not so. People over there would have taken him up on it if it were not so. We like to believe wrong report about ministers. But We doubt truths . Its sad.
