Welldone God's Generals!
Criminals in the name of christianity,how can oyedepo be richer than joel osteen and td jakes with all the poverty in Nigeria?the state of Texas alone has 10 times more billionaires than the whole Africa combined and a 100 times more multi millionaires,criminals exploiting the poor, the rich man's wealth is his strong city,the destruction of the poor is his poverty o yea stiff necked fools.
This does not make sense. You think they rich they are talking about here is money? It is not. It might be richness in wisdom or any other rich. The same Bible said: it will be easier for a needle to thread through a horses eye than for a rich man to see the kingdom of God".
But in the next verse of where you quoted it said "But with God nothing is impossible" So it is possible with God for the eyes of a camel to pass through a needle. And let me give you an assignment. You and study what the eye of a camel is.. it was the name of a small gate in the city wall..when u r done with your studies then we can talk
8 I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
10 And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; 11 but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have. 12 For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.
13 For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened; 14 but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack—that there may be equality. 15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
It's always good as a xtain 2 read d whole passage rather dan quote a. Particular verse. It's a sign of false teaching. It's clearly stated dat d aim of d church was 4 equality in times of need. Dey all contributed for each other so dat no one lacked.
Also deut 26:12 [b]King James Bible When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
NOTE- Der was a year 4 tithe wch was used 2 cater 4 d needy.
Also deut 14:23-26
then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.
D tithe wasn't meant to be invested by d church it's was meant 2 be given 2 d levites(d original chosen pple 4rm God-jesus' father was from David, his mom 4rm d tribe of levi) And we wer supposed 2 party in d presence of God not drop it and go home
Xtains pls read ur bible it's ur duty
First of all brother. Never replace my "Christ" with *x* Am not an Xtain pls am Christ like so you can call me a Christian.. Back to our discussion

Listen to Bosun warnings, which are happening now. Showing you that Bosun was sent by God. Since Bosun is sent by God, it follows that Adeboye is against God.
stifej: And you think you have make sense with ur thrash, if you are not a Christian why are you so pained? na your money we dey take pay tithe, abi we come beg money from you. Mind your fuccking business
Na Adeboye deceive into voting in buhari, now we are all suffering becos we followed Adeboye. Na false prophet ein be.
Criminals all of em, wit deir false teaching. So God dey calculate exchange rate b4 een bless u Even logically Speakin, it makes no sense. Na why NK dey curse dem because dem dey kolobi een pple money use am buy jet
My brother no mind the yahoo adeboye, defrauding people in the name of Church. God go judge soon.
Hope you know the feed is not bread and butter feeding but the word of God for every bread and butter Christians ends of disappointed..... When the disciples tokdthr Lord ,sir see the multitude has come to you he said they have not come to.me bit for bread ,,,no bread today and they left disappointed.......your material prosperity is tied to your spiritual prosperity for the word says ,I wish above all thing that you prosperity even as your soul prosper
There is no orthodox church in Nigeria that has feed the sheep better than those listed by Forbes 3ven though I believe they are far richer.
Jesus said what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and loose their soul. So the most important thing is the kingdom of God. Adeboye & co make out that the most important thing is material prosperity. that's of the devil.
As the bible say's adeboye is simply after his own belly.
Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Adeboye is a fraud, who is deceiving Christians.
What does it profit a man if he gains the world and lose his soul is actually for the unsaved .... Matt 6:33 says , seek the kingdom first and the things that men are dying to get will be cheaply added into you and I had earlier stated that your material prosperity is tied to the spiritual prosperity of your soul, according the scripture 3 John 2 ... I wish above all thing that thou prospereth even as thy soul prospereth .... Your soul prospereth from the word of God
I have not seen or heard any if these men lay emphasis on material prosperity much more than your spiritual prosperity..... They only tell you that rather than pursue worldly wealth which you need unless you are receiving yourself and lose God that pursuing God and his kingdom can bring in those wealth cheaply and without the wear and tear of fleshly pursuit of same ... Those are two different issue.

U're not an ltellectual else I wld hav given u sme stuff 2 open eyes. Anyway. U're jst a typical brainwashed church goer, u are father 4rm christ dan me. Remove d log in ur eye brother Shalom
You can go check my comments history on nairaland. I try as much as possible to stay off making unnecessary comment. Most time i qoute people to correct misconception.
The topic was about the wealth accummulation of pastors and not Islamic clerics but he try to shift the post like an insecure hypocrite xtian that you both are.
I do not bother to read the rubbish you typed anyway
Then stick to your religion if it serves you well and stop discrediting others'.
Those paying tithes and offering in Christianity are not complaining. They know why they do so. (Study Kings Solomon's life, the widow of Zarephat and even John D. Rockefeller and what giving meant to them). There are many 'Christians' who don't give and yet they are out to criticize. Fact is, it's not compulsory, and if you feel your pastor is fake, change your congregation. Period.
And who says they are "paying" to enrich anybody? Obviously your knowledge of this subject is limited.
While there are some fake "pastors" out there who prey, there are also fake Alfas who are nothing but ritualists. So let Christians deal with their doctrine while you stay on your chosen lane. Meanwhile have you resolved the issues of Almajiris? Do those ones pay Tithes and Offering too?
Our Great God almighty has selected me to pass some very important news to our wonderful, ever so kind, generous and great pastors. The lord says you guys must donate all your wealth in the following ways, each of you to build at least 50 primary schools in at least 10 states, and partner with the state government who will transfer teachers from some of the dilapidated schools to your brand new schools , build 3 emergency health response centres in 2 states, and finally build 5000 low cost 2 bedroom bungalows in 2 states. The lord has chosen these projects as they will spread his love to millions of people. So dear men of God I am sure you wont't let him down with all the millions of dollars he has blessed you with, he wants you to cast those blessings to many others, he has a major blessing awaiting you guys once this mission is completed.
...with all these their money ehn, if you see as dem dey beg for seed for their TV stations, U go nearly fall for them.
One unanswered question that has been bothering mi...
- Why is it that when these pastors 'want' to get more money, they ask the church members for seeds but when the church members 'need' money they ask them to ask God, to hope on the Lord and be steadfast
U dey reason well bro... But no be only them dey do am in an organised group
