Are Pastors Thieves Without Guns? by pstbolanta: 12:02pm On Jan 13, 2010 |
I just lost my jobs and looking for another,so a friend invited me to a program in his church,so i accompany him to the churc,as we were at the middle of the service,there was an alter call to thoser looking for jobs,i came out with several others,infact we were morethan 150 than came out.so after the prayers,the pastor now said,"for God to perfect your prayers,you should be able to sow to God,if you know between now and next weekend you can bring in 50 thousand naira to the house of God you should raise up your hand",alot of people raised up their hands,he said the ushers to put down their names,home address and phone numbers. After then the pastor reduced the money to 45 thosand naira,then to 40,then to 35 down to 1000 thousand naira. i did not raised my hand because i have not gotten any job that will make me to give such an amount. Later towards the end of the program,the pastor now said he was going to pray a special prayer for all of us in the church,he started praying,towards the end of the prayer,he now said all of us in the church to raise up the highest denomination of money in our piocket up towards heaven so that he will pray a special prayer,every body raised their hands with currencies in them including myself,i raised the last 1000 thousand naira up,i thought he would tell us to return the money beck to our pocket after the prayer,i was dead wrong.After the prayer he ordered the ushers to go round with basket and collect all the money raised up,infact you need to see the amount that was collected on that day,alot of people droped the last money in their pocket including me,most of us treked back home. I could not sleep throughout the night because of hunger and i now realised that we have been ROBBED without using a gun nor knife. Pls fellow nairalanders,what is happening in christedom? 1 Like |

I symphatise with you about your job, God will come through for you, dont loose hope,be encouraged something better might be in the pipeline for you. In every profession there are chalattans, so also we have in the ministry. Iam not surprised that we have people on the pulpit who put pressure on people to give and manipulate them. The word of God says by their fruit we will know them. Go to churches where the emphasies is on lifestyle rather than greed.Also be commited to being a student of God's word. Develop your relationship with God personally and you will be able to discern when you find yourself under greedy people who think that Godliness is Gain.There are still many genuine pastors who are teaching and preaching the undiluted word of God, may God direct you there. |

@pstbolanta Hmmn, First of all, may the good Lord direct you towards getting another source of income that would sustain you as soon as possible. May the good Lord not also lead you to any untrue pastors who are just out to rip people off their hard earned cash while they run around looking smashing and dazzling while their followers remain dazed and hope-clinging. but on the flip side, LOL |
Re: Are Pastors Thieves Without Guns? by RBiafra: 11:01pm On Jan 13, 2010 |
O boyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! Fear Pastors oo, they use fake prophesy to extort money from people. How many of them do render help to the less-privilege? They will never eat my cent… I swear! It’s better for me to be paying my tithes to charity homes!

Please don't criticize all pastors because your pastor failed you. |
Re: Are Pastors Thieves Without Guns? by 1forall: 11:57pm On Jan 13, 2010 |
pstbolanta when I hear such calls for donations decreasing in value I simply dont respond cos I think its a rather coercive manner of fund raising for a church. And I dont think desperation got the better part of the poster afterall he didnt pledge any during the charade. Sorry but next time, make sure you have change cold, looks like you're not in touch with present day reality in many nigerian churches, these things do happen for real. |

Re: Are Pastors Thieves Without Guns? by cold(m): 12:16am On Jan 14, 2010 |
That pix left me in stitches 1forall: No 1forall i hav not lost touch at all,the truth of the matter is that these so called pastors cash in on the gullibility of nigerians who are desperately searchin for 'miracles'.Nigerians are notoriously religious,pliable & gullible which xplains the explosion of churches in every nook,cranny & crevice of the country.I really can't fathom y pple for for these con men disguisin as 'men of God'. |

The wisdom of men is foolishness unto God,,,,as high as the heavens are above the earth, so is God's wisdom higher than man's!that is why the jews could not imagine their Messiah coming from such poor and lowly background,,,carpenter's son?NAH!! in the bible,God's children were referred to as SHEEP,,,yes stupid,naive,unthinking sheep!in following God,we should keep our 'HIGH INTELLIGENCE and RATIONALITY aside!however,you wont ripe unless you sow,right? every farmer knows that seed sowing time is never a time for merriment,because seed sowing is PAINFUL!'cast your bread upon many water for in due season,you shall receive them back,'so says the scriptures. well,sorry man,you've ridiculed away your blessings.you did not sow in faith.fake pastors exist,yes.but the authenticity of God's word about seed sowing remains valid!
