Based on statistics, by the NBS, the total churches in Nigeria as at February, 19th was 32Millions, 691 Thousand, 857... U can see things are boomings.

Not possible. How many christians even dey Nigeria sef If Nigerian Christians are 100 million that means we have about 3 Christians/church. That's not possible.

Mormon isnt what you might be thinking, Mormon is the name of one of the Church's early prophet i think. Their members are always called to serve for a certain time, they believe everyone has to win a soul for the kingdom of God, and this is one of the most heart warming Church's i've been to. Besides LDS is the church with the best choirs in the world i think. They keep simple doctrines, no instruments except Organ on Sundays, their music pieces is always Hymns. I'm not a member but the church is really really good. This is not like our local churches dat wont teach you how to live or succeed in this life but give u prophecy upon prophecy without leading you. This is a church that'll teach you the word of God and still teach you how to farm and get products you need...LDS has a far wild mentality, maybe cause its a white man's church..i dunno but that Church is also top. My sister's been going to LDS from Very young age, and well last year i did with em and learnt bout em.

is this church the same as 'church of christ?'

Do you know those institutions can be run on a volunteer basis and you ll never lack personnel if the people knw that working there is same as working in church.



It's achievable. Even a second ofgering in the whole RCCG worldwide every month can take care of salaries and pther things

abeg no argue with them again..stop wasting your time with gullible people

rawpadgin:
can u imagine





the fact is most of churches don't give a fvck about salvation, all they are after is the cheese

Honestly the only question on my mind, where should I drop my CV for employment, Redeemed or Winners?
These 2 churches combine earn more than most business corps in Nigeria.

LET THEM CONTINUE BUILDING. THE DEVIL IS BUILDING CHURCHES, UNIVERSITIES, SCHHOOLS NIGHT CLUBS FOR THEM TOO IN HELL.

They are all hell bound indeed. Sad that they have no resemblance with Bible Christianity yet this is what is shoved down people's throats as true. Crooks

That would most likely be the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion.

Yet some pastors, politicians and gullible Christians will scream on top of their lungs that there's an agenda to Islamise Nigeria. All i see here is a plot to Christianise Nigeria.

The Mormon Church is an interesting one but in it there are more questions than answers.They have a temple which only approved church members can enter.If you do not get the temple permit you cannot enter there.You as an individual cannot go to their temple to commune with God.They have one temple in Aba.The temple is not everywhere.They also engage in the Baptism for the dead. Even if you die as a bishop in another church today,your baptism must be done in the temple by anyone else living on your behalf.On every Church building, instead of the cross of Jesus,they mount a structure which looks like a coffin.They can never explain its meaning to anyone.On top of this coffin is an image of a man with a sword.You have to study the structure closely to observe this.One is at Opebi..There is no cross on their structures and they have additional scriptures like Perl of graet Price AND bOOK oF Mormon.
Any one that has a better understanding of these practices of the church should let me know because I still admire the church.

Are you serious?

Statsocial:

Lol I am going to find out soon. But I don't believe all Pentecostal churches in Nigeria practice this. This is probably limited to the Living Faith and the churches it mentors e.g Dunamix, Daystar, Pastor Ibieyomie's church.

You discovery exercise may be futile, reason being that in Nigeria, churches open everyday and there is no database for the existing ones let alone the entrants. Secondly, most new churches are not registered, and as such, are legally not recognised as a body. Some churches have less than 10 members while some have no definite place of worship. Any estimated figure will definitely be flawed.

VeniJu:

Total Numbers of CHURHES; sir. Not members.
Dis days, a man can easily convert his 1 room apartment into a church. Or rent a classroom in a school compound.

Another question, do you mean denominations or church buildings?

elantraceey:


Wow, the Christian is the church and the church is the Christian but since you don't even realize that I won't talk about it.


Lemme ask,,, Have you spent hours on your knees to pray for lost souls?
How well have you tried to affect positively the lives of the poor around you?
When last have you gone on your own to preach the gospel?
Can you be called a living Word yourself?



If your answer to any of this is no then please go do your part in the great commission and for heaven sake stop criticising those that are making an effort.


I rest my case, God bless you.

How all these things you talk take relate to the matter?

I heard its the Roman Catholic Pope

7.2billion naira will end poverty in nigeria instead of building construction

Pastors pay tithe to their father in lord, like the order of Melshidezek, Abraham paid tithe to him

op.. ur thread is nt complete without putting my church here. go for more research and find something abt Methodist church

Church buildings, sir. Not Denominations.
Like in my street, before you get to the main road, you'll pass thru 7 RCCG, 3 LFC, 1 AG, 1 Deeper Life, 2 MFM. Churches are so many dat d street was nicknamed ''Business Lane''

we are too religious and that has led to lack of thinking that is supposed to get us out of poverty and underdevelopment. We should all strive for spiritual growth in God and not being religious fanatics.

.we are one bro.........I am a Christian not a church goer or a religious fanatic.

Final proof that these churches are business ventures!

It's achievable. Even a second ofgering in the whole RCCG worldwide every month can take care of salaries and pther things

A lot of things that worked decades ago cannot work again.
The population explosion(Nigeria and worldwide) is one thing to be considered. Population of nigeria was just 16 million in 1911. In 2017 it's about 170 million and still counting.
I repeat, it will be difficult to feel any missionary impact in terms of provision of public services.

Despite the budget of nigeria running into trillions, nobody is feeling the impact. Nobody has ever felt the impact.
Some of these churches do provide services the govt hasn't been able to cater for. It may be expensive, but it's still affordable for some. They still manage to meet some people's needs.
The children of the very rich and the lawmakers are schooling abroad, the children of some poor are schooling in covenant university for example. I really dont believe therea any middle class in nigeria. The gap is too much.

Nigerian universities are still one of the cheapest worldwide. Meaning the services provided by the faith based schools shouldn't be rubbished because it's not free. It's almost impossible to be free. Some of the students are on church scholarships btw to attend same schools. Millions of students write jamb to enter uni btw. How many of those millions do you think those schools can cater for since everyone will want to be a part of it?

Talking of volunteer services, are you ready to be a volunteer? How many volunteers services have you ever being a part of Personally?
Should they employ people not qualified to come and teach in the universities since they are volunteers? Or employ just anybody to come and provide the services of a Dr or nurse in hospitals? Don't the volunteers have families to feed also?
Most people that work in the church do so Sunday's, Saturday's, Friday night's or generally after work hours. Who will they be ministering to in the hospitals Or teaching at such hours?

Thank you Sir good info
