Is It Always True That God Told The Pastors The Name To Give To Their Churches? by JingoOAU(m): 8:04am On Sep 22, 2013
It is not new to us, especially, in the environment we have in this country seeing different churchs, both Orthodox and pentecostal, scaterring all over the country.

What I can't still come to term with is the fact that the founding pastor of these churches always says God told them vividly the name to call their churches.

If that is true, why would God give different names for churches and what is the reason and purpose for that? Did God told Oyedepo to name his church Winners Chapel? Did God told Chris Oyhakilome and TB Joshua to name their churches Christ Embassy and COAN respectively? Ditto to all other churches

The foundation of christianity was based on blood,murder,lie and deceit. Since the foundation is filthy, the tree will be also. What you see in churches today shouldn't surprise you. Pastors will do anything to be rich because that is what the founding father did. Do you really believe god could inspire a book that is archaeologically inaccurate? If you do,then that shows why you are a christian( if you are anyway)

My dear, God doesn't speak audibly to anyone. If you hear voices, you may be suffering from cerebral malaria or hunger or something worse. What happens is that people follow their conscience. And the conscience is firmed by what you believe in already. God cannot give you a name for your church when He recognizes only one church. The church instituted by Christ has no factions.

But we do hear from these pastors with the claim that God instructed them on the name of the church. Are we saying the pastors are lying or what?

If any Pastor could lie while standing infront of alter by saying what God does not say, isn't dat blasphemy and deceit?

To me, I've heard it several times from different General Overseers who averred that God told them the name to give to their church and I dnt really know the motive for syaing that anyway.

They know what's talking to them. And don't feel guilty that He's not talking to you. Ask them which language God spoke, the tone, pitch, accent and why they are the only ones that hear. If any of these pastors hears an audible voice from an unidentified source, he will run out of that church.

Most of the pastors in nigeria lie, they want only the money from there followers.

I hear it in an Video that Adeboye told his members that god has told him that tithing and seed sowing is very important and every person who want to get blessed has to do it because god didnot want to get robbed. so this is also a big lie, because i beliefe what i read in the bible.

America start with the churchbusiness and than it comes to nigeria. Nigerian Pastors are the best in churchbusiness.

The same is you have to buy the books of this pastors and the CDs or DVds because you should hear what this so called great man of god teach you. All niogerians want to go rich fast and without working and that is what this pastors know, but god print no money and you cannot pay god that he make a miracles.
