At least show respect to ur elders,u have no right to judge anybody.
HAVE SENSE.

xangerar:
Na wa o. This our quarrel got to the court? The breakaway pastors in the U.S are ready to embarrass Daddy G.O. and the church, and I really think that if it is possible they should just be let go with whatever they have already instead of a shameful public mudslinging that will batter the image of MFM and the church.

1shortblackboy:
Still does not explain why the US pastor did not hand over d church property and money when he decided to leaveFM

johnnyvid:
some pastors this days are not appreciative. what i see here's that the greedy ones are the wolf in sheeps clothing.

Johnrake69:


What are you talking about?why should a branch hand over the property it raised money to acquire? Did you miss the point where it stated that majority of the members of the branch decided to severe ties with MFM Lagos or the fact that members of the branch built the church?

Capitalist mindset.

The G.O of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Daniel Olukoya, is in the spotlight in a US court after his church dragged some former pastors and members to court over monetary and property disputes.
.
MFM is seeking declaratory judgment and damages against Pastors Lawrence Adetunji, Ronke Adetunji, and 11 former members of MFM, Bowie, Maryland.
.
At issue are real property described as 5506 and 5503 Church Road in Bowie, Maryland, which were acquired by MFM Bowie in 2001 and 2004 respectively. Also in contention are funds for the MFM building in Bowie.
.
MFM International (Lagos) claims that the property acquired with the contributions and offerings of the members of MFM in Bowie, are property of MFM headquarters by way of trustThe plaintiffs claim further that when Pastor Adetunji and most members of MFM in Bowie decided not to associate further with the denomination, Pastor Adetunji was under an obligation to hand over the properties and funds to MFM headquarters.
.
In their response, the defendants allege that they decided to sever their relationship with MFM and its leadership because of the illegal and fraudulent activities of MFM International, Lagos.
.
They allege that MFM International was in the practice of knowingly and deliberately making false claims to evade U.S. Customs duties and taxes on books exported from Nigeria to U.S.
.
The nature of the illegal activities stems from the fact that the plaintiffs would ship prayer books to various U.S.-based MFM branches with a cover letter categorizing the books as “donations” to be distributed to local parishioners.
.
However, once delivered to the U.S, instructions were then emailed to U.S. pastors instructing them of the price they must charge parishioners in selling these books. The pastors were then instructed to remit the earnings of their sales to MFM International.
.
Some Officers of MFM International, including the G.O, Daniel Olukoya are expected to get into the witness box at the hearing.

Why don't you establish your own church and let's see how holy you will be in managing thousands and millions of resources.

Johnrake69:
Not surprised. The church of today is typically a capitalist institution. Don't know when we Christians will open our eyes to the truth. The church properties belong to the GOs and their board, It doesn't belong to the church members. As a homeless person you can't sleep in Church because it's a private property.

I have witnessed first hand where a security team with a toyota hilux drove a woman and her son from inside the prayer city to the gate and asked them to leave the premises.

Prayer city or any camp or mountain is not a refuge camp. There was a night over one thousand squatters were arrested in a camp. Also, lot of atrocities are committed by those squatters that make it similar to brothels or criminals den.

Moreover, with economic hardship, laziness where people are jobless & homeless in Nigeria & neighbouring countries, many people coming to Lagos see those camps as temporary accommodation to use to get job in Lagos (the job is not available in Lagos)while others are homeless & jobless. You find hundreds & thousands of people squatting. Some have been there for years until the camps authority ejected them.

Most of these people are not original members of those churches. If all the churches have camps & open them free for members, it would be better.

Any camp that is opened free will have thousands or million of squatters due to economic hardship.

@Babaolofin I guess you missed this paragraph.
In the spirit of fairness. My stand is if a branch acquired a property from the member's contribution without any proceeds or grant from the head quarters and same members are saying they don't want to be part of the Head quarters. I think it's only fair to allow them to keep the property they acquired. For me this is what Christianity should be about. Fairness.

Bros, I agreed with you & my brother talking about disclaimer being hung at prayer city and other camps. I agreed 100% . My point is this, we always have these problems in juicy locations. These people are posted abroad from Nigeria. At times for you to be posted abroad is by God grace & trust of the pastorate. Some of them when you see them at Onike (MFM) or Camp (RCCG) before the postings you will think the reward is only in heaven. They don't show any sign of believe in earthly wealth. When you see their wives also you will pray for God to prosper their husband. Few years after posting is another story for those posted to juicy locations.
