Pastor Tunde Bakare, said the current economic recession was an opportunity for the Church to bail out the country through God-inspired economic principles

Bakare, a Senior Pastor, Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, stated this on Saturday in Abuja.

He spoke on the theme: “ The Church and Economic Recession , “ at the 14th anniversary celebration of Foursquare Gospel Church.


He said that the church had the ability to bail out nations, influence public policy through God-inspired economic principles and strategically position human resources to implement its principles.



Bakare, however, said that the church was yet to rise to the height mandated to it by destiny to bail out nations and to lead them to God’s will.

“ I am convinced that the recession currently being experienced in Nigeria is an opportunity for the Church.

“Therefore, I declare to you that the Scripture is about to be fulfilled in your hearing as God is stirring up the church to take responsibility for the destiny of Nigeria.

“ That is why we are gathered here today to talk about the church and economic recession.

“ If the church is also reeling from the impact of the recession, we must admit to ourselves that this is against the Scriptural pattern.

“ It is the best of times to take the tenets of the faith beyond the four walls of the church building to the marketplace and the policy roundtable, “ Bakare said.

He said that the nation’s economic recession was largely self-inflicted which could have been avoided, saying “unfortunately for Nigeria, our biggest boom experience fell into the hands of an unprepared leadership.“

As If The Church Is Different From Nigerians.

Is There Any God-inspired Economic Principle being Used by Any Church That We Can Go Take A Look at?

Our Vice President is a Pastor of no small standing, so what?

The church could allow its members to keep their tithes and first fruits so the money will be used more productively in the useful-stuff economy.

Who are "the church"? The likes of Tunde Bakare, Ayo Oritsejafor, Enoch Adeboye?!

The church could allow its members to keep their tithes and first fruits so the money will be used more productively in the real economy.

They could also pay taxes to the government and undertake corporate social responsibilities in their localities.

Go and tell redeemers university,covenant,bowen universities to reduce their school n other fees to 25k.

Then u ve spoken sense...now..just gerrarahia

I totally agree with you sir.

A lot of monies pass through the church (tithes, offerings, pledge, school fees, 10-20 page books etc.).

They can help the economy by paying tax and empowerment instead of accumulating wealth.

the church will ask its members for more tithes, offerings pledge to prevent/cast out every spirit of recession in their lives..

It begins with you oga

James2v15&16: if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit??


Of all the churches springing up around our neighbourhood, how many of them have other facilities like hospital, sports & vocational training centres, etc except the catholic churches? All they do is to invest in real estate, acquire expensive rides & private jets, and levy their unemployed workers...


Set up hospitals, & vocational training centres where people can learn skills like baking, fashion designing, capentry, shoe making, video production, website designing etc....by these you can 'change' the society as a whole......

Mtweeeee. Make I no talk

Amigos, even if the church allow its members to keep their tithes and first fruits, towards the money be used more productively, nothing will change,
because the recession in the country is caused by years of reckless governance and wickedness perpetuated in high places

It will be more money for thieving fingers and grubby hands to grab, chop and clean mouth from
and the status quo, if not worsening, will remain the same, unless the evil and morally wrong practice of government officials, top party members, top army personnels etcetera enriching themselves at the country's citizens and voters expense is curbed.

The church can bail Nigeria out of recession, ONLY, if it begins reorienting the people for an indiscriminate and total realisation of 2 Chronicles 7:14

However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear [their prayer] from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country
- 2 Chronicles 7:14

By paying tithe?

Your church should be the first

OK

Hmmmm so it has come to this?

Mehn..... Guess he is short of tiltles frm member of his church in nigeria, you better pray hard so that your members can pay they titles

By collecting less tithes and offerings from there members.

People be talking like only church take tithe, don't muslims pay tithe? I forgot the name they call theirs......

Hmmm....

Joke

All I know is I cannot give any Yoruba man my money in the name of pastor. Let them go and hustle

FG should ban religion then we will begin to think like humans and use our brains for sustainable development

HOW WILL THE CHURCH BAIL A COUNTRY .
.
.
.
IS IT BY PRAYERS
OR BY OFFERINGS

All I can see there are just grammer.

Last time I checked, the vice-president to mamman daura.....sorry.....to buhari.....is a pastor. He should be able to come up with God-inspired economic solution and strategies.

very true
