When Properties Aquired With Tithe/offerings Are Shared To Couples By Court by BERNIMOORE: 2:50pm On Sep 10, 2014
If There is a scriptural prophecy that we need to consider the fuffilment today among our so called christian brethren who worship men rather than God, it is the prophecy foretold in 2 timothy 4:3

2 timothy 4:3

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.


sound doctrines as preached by the early apostles suffer popularity or beign embraced by many today, some says it is old fashion and so prosperity preachers crept in, in a tactful way they package their preaching in a way that they look like someone who have the key to monetry riches, distorting material riches with spiritual riches(treasures in heaven) they package their teachings with sugarcoated mouth, and trust me, we have 'itching ears' that swallows their croocked message wholesale


prosperity teachings today have no respect to the scripture, as many of their followers believe today that properties obtained with this monies should not be discussed by members because it belongs to God, so if these church properties belongs to God and bought in a registered church name, who the main director and the deputy managing director is in the terms of registration really matters

so, if pastor and passtor Mrs xyz are the director and the deputy managing director in the terms of registration, and the holy spirit could not guide both pastors to take matters before the saints in the church as it was advised by the early apostles

1 corinthians 6:1


When any of you has a legal dispute with another, does he dare go to court before the unrighteous rather than before the saints?


what really went wrong was the love of money which the scripture says 'is the root of all injurious things'

1, The love of money is behind the fact that a pastors wife is always the first to be chosen as the next powerful pastor in churches today and so will even head a branch in another country,while other pastors will be at the mercy of both powerful pastor/couple who can sack pastors at will.

2. The love of money makes a pastor to scheme a plan of building a dynasty, using or project his wife as a pastor when the truth is that there was a sheme to dupe people of their monies to build a dynasty

if you doubt me read this submissions made by pastor Anita oyakhilome to a court;

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/adultery-not-anita-oyakhilome-s-ground-for-divorce-court-papers-show/188414/

The wife feels that she has been used to portray and enhance the husband’s image as a family man when the reality is that there is no existing relationship between them. She feels that she has been present for official functions simply for his convenience. On occasions she has been copied into his travel itinerary which has been given to him by his staff on a need to know basis.


the bible was very clear on the issue of women beign pastors or bishops or deacons, they are not to exercise authority in the church.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35

34[b]Let your women keep silence in the churches[/b]: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1 timothy 2:12

11A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12[b]But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man[/b], but to remain quiet.


1 Timothy 3 :1-13;
New King James Version (NKJV)
Qualifications of Overseers

3 This is a faithful saying[b]: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife[/b], temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 [b]one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Qualifications of Deacons

8 Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, 9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. 10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. 11 Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus


greediness makes these prosperity pastors to ignore all these warnings and instructions but rather pursue a so called 'dominion' over church members hard earned money, and the result is what we saw now in chris/Anita pending case in court

how members will feel about sharing 'Gods properties' between husbands and wife with children, while other pastors or church members have no inheritance at all! even pastors are can only hang on the salaries from these two pastors or can be sacked at will

is this the 'gospel preach by our lord jesus'? lord have mercy, your people are beign duped and deceived because some of them are greedy and illiterate, open their eyes lord!

1 timothy 6:9,10

9But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

10For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.


again this is confirmed in this submission to court by pastor Anita;http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/adultery-not-anita-oyakhilome-s-ground-for-divorce-court-papers-show/188414/

“The wife(anita) feels that she has been mentally, physically and emotionally deprived of the experience of a marital relationship. She feels that the husband has persistently judged her and his communication with her has been unduly harsh. The wife knows that he was hard to please and has been extremely critical


and lastly

mathew 7:16

15"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16"You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17"So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.…
