If i was the one that said masturbation is not wrong, i know by now my family would have been calling me to warn me and my holy friends would have all deleted or avoid me as they do, but if It's pastor Chris then it's the wisdom from the man of God so no big deal. If i was the one that say "GOD IS A GAME" My very righteous friends would have long ago blocked me and carry their long faces and accuse me of blasphemy but if it's Pastor Fireman, it's ok!! dare not question the man of God. If i was the one that publicly slapped a teen by accusing her to be a witch for anything and threaten to slap more, most of my religious and friends would have made the teen's picture their profile pictures demanding for justices but if it's Bishop David, it's the hand of God(maradonna), it's the Holy Ghost slap. If i demand for 50 million to provide free safe drinkable water in some rural communities, i know most of my Nigerians friends will raise alarm on “fraudsters going on nairaland demanding for money in the name of community service but if our dadddy g.o adeboye asks for 35 billion to build an auditorium that will be used on rare special occasions, it's the holy inspiration and God's project and no one dare questions. If i keep posting about helping the masses, sharing part of their pain but then i happen to support an anti-masses decision, i know by now i will be the clown of the century, but when Daddy Ayo supported fuel subsidy removal which is anti masses, everyone kept quiet and even the masses, offcourse do you want to attract generational curses by questioning the man of God?...gbosa!! If i'm claiming to be a humble servant of God but flaunt with my designers glasses, escorts, Louis Vuitton bible, expensive dresses, 3 golden chains on my neck, and private jet to escape traffic jam and enhance comfort, I know most of you would have staged a protest, but the moment i edit my name and add Pastor that solves the trick i become untouchable, unquestionable and unspeakable. 44 Likes |

Follow ifa and it shall be well with you. The problem is all these foreign religions. They are up to no good. Have you ever wondered why no black man made it to the ark?! Point is: the big pastors know this. Religion(or church) is just a big FRAUD. If I begin talk now, this christians will come out with their immunity clause: Touch not. My anointed and do my prophet no harm. I should state clearly I'm not a member of the rival religion-islam. All I know is: the entirety of the human race is on a long-thing. Humans seriously think there is one heaven or hell waiting for them! Are you kidding me?! Humans seriously think the entire universe was, in fact, created for their good. And they think they are even capable of offending the creator of the universe and he will have their time to even create hell/heaven. That's so incredibly brilliant. Let's be frank. Shame on all the pastors. All of them. They know they are defrauding these folks and yet insist. Shame on all of them. 5 Likes |

frosbel: Any Pastor who lives in luxury and opulence while his church members are broke and struggling to make two ends meet, is in great danger of damnation. I'm sure, if you have a congregation of 10 you deffinately would fall guilty of 2 or 3 of the above, talkless of a big church. So let us hear word. |

The reason why many church members are poor is because they have not being applying the kingdom principles that will make them rich and wealthy.Most Pastors are living the life which members are learning from.A pastor have to give of his jeep to hold a program,later on a member sowed the seed of a better car. 1 Like |

I agree with some of d points but disagree wit some others! Firstly, everybody can't be rich. There are goin to be poor ones till eternity. Secondly are you sayin pastors shouldn't be blessed with wealth? Well, i think they "worked hard" 4 their money after all not all pastors are rich. Suffice to say that not all wealthy pastors are fake... Anyway, who are we to judge? |

There is CHRISTIANITY and there is STUPIDITY, and often times I wonder what many practice!!! This is exactly my point on https://www.nairaland.com/1396293/seen-5-yr-old-oluwaseun-ogungbemile/2#17580966 If the people are paying more to the Church than to the Govt, then the Church should take on part of the responsibilties of the Govt.

This is a sentimental and emotional thread! Nothing spiritual at all. Go and find out how many churches have been closed thru posts like ds- NONE! Go and find out how many churches dat have reduced tithe incomes in d their accounts because of posts like these- NONE! U can only correct someone thru prayer or one-on-one correction! Stop using worldly methods to correct the CHURCH! Don't bcome the "suppose" evil u are trying to fight! Are u led by the spirit of activism or the Spirit of God! 3 Likes |

sunny63: D writer is poor man.dat is a povert mindseteven the bible says "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to see God" is it a crime if you aint rich? Naija is full of hypocrites,they will rob and steal and cheat-thinking if they go before their materialistic pastors and shout and give part of their money to him it is alright. read your bible,or better still stop deceiving yourself. you can not serve God and mormon-religious ignoramus. |

frosbel: Any Pastor who lives in luxury and opulence while his church members are broke and struggling to make two ends meet, is in great danger of damnation. As much as i usually love some of your posts, the bit of ignorance it possesses spoils it all making it look like your post doesn't have any truth in it(it does actually). Solution: Try to see things in a pragmatic way, some of your claims against such pastors can only be possible theoritically, not in reality. For example, if a pastor is rich, being the spiritual fathers of his members, they are also expected to be rich(theoritically, all things being equal) but what if the members are lazy, refusing to pray like the pastor, not following the natural principles of success in life, infact what if the members are not saved at all?? Do you expect them to be rich?? In a church that has millions of members, is it the wealth of one single person(the pastor) that will cater for them all, abi shey pastor no get family too?? I support the fact that pastors should help their members financially but its in reality not possible for him to cater for the financial needs of every single member(in order words there are bound to be poor members). When a pastor doesn't help at all, then there is a problem, but if he does to a reasonable extent(even though it doesn't seem to obvious), then he has tried and shouldn't be accused of anything. The fact that Jesus(being capable of providing financially for his followers) had followers doesn't mean they were all rich, i mean it doesn't mean there weren't poor people among all his followers, but they continued following him because of the spiritual needs they get from him. Same thing happens to most members, they don't come to church money-minded but for spiritual re-fillment, and so not bordered about the riches of their pastors(which is scriptural) knowing he must have done enough in helping the needy but definitely can't help all. In conclusion, 'some people' remain poor because of their own actions, and you shouldn't blame it on pastors, even if Jesus were to lead us again, some people will still remain poor simple because they have not followed both natural and spiritual laws of success.. E.g, hard work is a natural law of success, being saved, praying, trusting God are spiritual principles for success too. So bro frosbel, i think you should consider a lot of factors that make members poor before putting the blame on pastors, am sure king solomon wouldn't have made all the people of God rich like him at his time. God bless you. 11 Likes |
