My friend when you're spiritually carried you'll know when some strange powers are operating. When you ask some people what religion they belong to they'll quickly tell you they're christians my brother don't be deceived cuz even the devil goes to church. In summary, I'm not judging I'm just laying out the exceptions to this matter. If I know a man to be a thief (politheifcians ) and he comes to my church to pay tithe and offering chia! His money isn't welcomed. It's just that the bad eggs (fake pastors all in the name of money) has stained the true body of christ. As we have real products my brother we also have fake. And yes I'm the thug of Jesus christ who's on duty...

IYA NGBALI: In our own church no matter the person,s status all members would come to the family house to pray and sing,it is the duty of the family to feed us morning,afternoon and evening until they bury their lost one. We don't give the family anything except prayers and church songs

pheesayor: My church CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH (CAC) The mother of all Pentecostal churches announces deaths of members and even families of members, church buses are even used to convey church members to burial sites and at times the reception even holds in the church.

Jarus: Thank God for Islam. Half of the sermons are about death. Most mosques even have stretcher (abi wetin be the name) that they use to carry dead members. The imams are one of the first people that arrange the washing of the dead, praying over the dead, and burying.

Frankly, this is one of the reasons I like islam. It readily acknowledges that the fact that no matter how devoted we are to God, there will be tribulations in terms of loss of things we covet (wealth, job, loved ones etc) and ultimately death. It just doesn't make sense to me that somebody will now preach only prosperity to me, that 'the low sides of life can never be his portion'. Fact of life is, there will be such things and Islam teaches how to handle such tribulations. Prosperity teaching snd shying away from it just doesn't make sense to me. I just pity people that fall for this deceit.

Billyonaire: Churches in other places apart from Lagos might still hold the brotherhood love and care.

But in Lagos; churches are business centers. Even the pastor is more afraid of sickness and death than members.

The fact remains that most churches in Lagos are just "mere" gathering of original christians who congregate to "maintain" family belief.

They can only be there to bury you if you were a dignitary and a money man. To pastors it is even a sin to be poor which ia why poor people pretend that all is well to still enjoy good friendship of brethren in church, if any brethren dare discover that you are living in kpako, you are finished.

ECWA is nw Evangelical Church For Winning All

Acidosis:

lmaooo...

I forgot to include CAC in my previous list..

Bro, except you want to decieve many, you'll know the real CAC died same day Joseph Ayo Babalola died..

Except for few branches that still abide by the standard of the true gospel..

I attended a wedding in a CAC branch recently, and one Pastor raised several prayer points
One is:

If you know; you want God to preserve you for your children's children, bring out a good offering and drop in the basket..

So many funny prayer points with prices attached (offering)
Lol, you know this people have a way of capturing the minds of people in an atmosphere of joy (wedding)...


A man told me recently, that the Pastor of a CAC branch, dropped a CASKET at the altar, and then raised a prayer point:

You already know the kind of prayer

Saying to the congregation:
The only man that will enter this casket soon is one that refuses to bring money to the altar...












Why una dey make Jesus weep?

Lakayanah: I am yet to see a Pentecostal church that has publicly/privately refused the visitation of politicians. They talk evil of them behind them but when they come visiting they are given seat at the alter.

Lakayanah: Na wa for una church o.

Originalsly: Hmmm....spiritually carried....which spirit be that?...are you sure? I guess I am of carnal mind...and wouldn't be able to understand. I must say that this your response is much more civilized than your first ehmmm....outburst! I guess the devil caught you off guard!

K.K Imoh:

so correct, i can bet my last card on catholic church and Assemblies of God, this two rili takes a member funeral like their own, weda rich or poor.

OC cool: my brother, u re so on point. The bolded happens to be my church and I can categorically tell u that A.G.C care for their members, whether living or dead. In the event of a member's demise, the church is informed. Infact the various departments (men, women and youth) have specific levies they contribute towards a deceased member's funeral.

KwoiZabo: The great thing about social media is the it exposes fraud wherever they may exist whether in politics, religion or what have you and this thread is one of them. I've heard that some churches don't announce death but I never knew it's this widespread anyway God is watching.
I don't intend to derail this thread but I want to say this for all those who feels tithes still apply to Christians to read the book of Hebrews 7 carefully. verse 5 says that the children of Israel are required to pay tithes according to the law but vs 18 & 19 clearly states without ambiguity that the former regulation is SET ASIDE and a better hope is introduced. God bless us all

K.K Imoh:

why? Pls tel me why? But if sm1 wins 20million, it wil b announced bah? The bible is standard "rejoice wit doz who rejoice & mourn wit doz who mourn''

alexleo: My church announces burial during church services. They first announce the death of the person and tell us to go and comfort the family. when the burial date is fixed they ll also announce it. After the sunday service they ll hold a meeting of all born again members. In the meeting they ll encourage the members to contribute money to support the family of the deceased in the burial. On the burial day the church takes charge of the service and members attend in good number. If the family of the deceased is very poor, then the church will bear the financing of the burial fully. But if they are not poor the church may choose to buy the casket or take care of the feeding or the mortuary bill or printing of the poster and program booklet depending on their discussion with the family. No matter how rich you are, the church will do one thing for you. Of course my church will always tell you about persections and trials that we must pass through as christians. You have no choice than to face the bitter truth of our christian race.

Slow venom: Am a redeemer, we tk a gud pat in burial n cotrbut to d family of d deases cos we will all one day go dat same way. If u dnt lyk Religeon dnt wok agains it cos anytin u r agains is agains u.
