DEMOO07:
what if there are no Churches, don't you think the vices would have increased? Do you know how many people that have been blessed by these churches, those that have discovered themselves through inspirational teachings and communities that have evolved? Please I urge you to attend Churches with opened mind and see how God turn you around. Am even inviting okogie, he will change his church and become born again.

gemale:
If what you claim is true, thanks be to God brother. However, don't try to attribute your present state to changing churches. You obviously weren't serious with God before. The fact that you used to sleep in church is proof enough. I think that if you had sought God truly before changing churches, you wouldn't have changed because you would still have the same results. I used to be lukewarm & apathetic before the Lord rescued me & now I actually look forward to & enjoy mass even when I went to a place where it was conducted in a language I didn't understand. I just asked someone nearby to interpret. The rosary I used to recite mechanically before; God has helped me to meditate on them, drawing insight & messages from them. The sacraments of penance & Eucharist now offer deeper meaning, draws me closer to God & channel grace to me, especially in trying moments. Now I am full of thanks that I belong to the church founded by Jesus Himself. Still, I concede that I have barely scratched the surface. There's way more I haven't yet discovered.

Tizbid:
Was your life transformed to a more righteous one after either of the two encounters with both denominations?...if yes,Glory to God. But if no...pls search for jesus not denominations.

cristianisraeli:


lol.you vex pass me bros

Christaks:
So after dt ( brainwashing u wit promises of wealth and tithes and blessing upon upon blessing) ..u later entered heaven?

designVATExcel:
Not diplomatic at all
He could have made his point without labeling his colleagues statement as "useless".

Anyone that knows Pastor Enoch should know he's not a bling bling pastor, his humility knows no bounds. I can reason with opening churches everywhere. One can easily get discouraged going to a far church. But a church you can conveniently walk to, you have no excuse.

On the other hand, the rate at which random individuals are opening churches in Nigeria is quite alarming. I think CAN can do better in regulating this.

2 people can disagree without getting insultive.

Empredboy:
you are the type Jesus said in Mathew 15:8. Mathew 13:15

pweetiedee:
Don't mind him.

Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist don't build churches anyhow.

I know only two Catholic churches in my town. And few Anglican churches.

There are two redeem churches in my street alone.

the street where I lived during NYSC. There are five redeem churches there (very small buildings). One Anglican, One catholic.

Klington:
What is diswan saying

cckalima:
ehh so u can lie like this. I hv seen rccg members sle ep while the service is on by the way what's the name of the parish you visited?

Nbote:
It is totally ur prerogative where to worship but wen u begin to paint a church in bad light simply becos its not ur idea of what worship shld b like is what's wrong.. Was it everone who was sleeping or didnt remember d sermon in d Catholic church u attended? Today is Sunday and basically every bar, hotel, club and lounge is filled and occupied. By pagans or atheist? Our idea of Christianity is which denomination we identify with and how much tongues we think we can speak but yet we still dwell in d same old sinful habits we have always been in. So how is dat any different?

Vivere:


Oga, I attribute it to the changing of churches, and the way the Word of God is preached in the two churches. RCCG messages are more practical and in-depth. No need for too much talk. Those who have been in both places, will understand....

gemale:
I have been to both & even once got baptized in redeemed but I was led back to the catholic church. There, the word is preached without sweetening. It is plain, take it or leave. No need for oratory prowess & catchy slogans. They don't have to package it or make it attractive. It is less on the ephemeral & more on the eternal. I don't have to know or like the priest's style. He doesn't have to say what I want to hear. In fact, I like it when he says what I don't want to hear. I just get the message & try to apply it as the Spirit of God directs. Whether the choristers have croaky or angelic voices is not my business. Whether there is AC, fan or nothing there doesn't concern me. I'm indifferent whether the ushers smile or frown, are polite or rude. All I want is to hear God's word, pray & receive Jesus body, blood, soul & divinity in the sacrament of the Eucharist. I ask myself "if the rapture happened & God forbid, i missed it, would I still be looking at all these things? Would I be listening raptly to someone testifying how God blessed him with a huge contract because he sowed or how a sister finally got married after a long search? ". Anybody who needs to still be petted & cajoled with fancy words to forsake iniquity & do God's will needs to closely examine him/herself well.

tintingz:
We don't need more business centers a.k.a churches, we need more schools, good roads, electricity, hospitals etc the churches and mosques we have in this country are enough, I don't see the positive impact of these religious buildings in our economy, we need to develop economically.

gare:


Cardinal why are you so bitter? Has he come to ask you for money, why don't you just mind your ministry and allow us build our church, that is the man's vision, ok tell your vision ? From what I see your own vision is to fight men of God.

Please let them be, I beg you

Ezionye:
Hmmm

I don't comment on religious issues sha

Mordyb:

Hold it right there stop spreading lies

Vivere:
Last time I attended a Catholic church, I slept off. I cannot even remember the title of the sermon, or the name of the vicar. But the day I attended RCCG I not only danced all through, I still remember the topic of the sermon and its entire contents, as well as the 7 warfare prayer points, we prayed on that day. Meanwhile, I attended the RCCG service, two months before the one in the Catholic church....

BISHOPKELLY:
it seen you are still a child? how old are you?

akinade28:
I quite agree with cardinal.
Our country can't change with more church buildings.
We need to be "Christians" indeed.
Christian means "Christlike"

Tolexander:
Okogie seems to be afraid of RCCG monopolizing the church business and market!

Vivere:

Oga, nobody is being petted with any sweet words or cajoling. I did not go looking for oratory or catchy slogans. I went for the Word of God, and prayers. Have all the people in your own church forsaken iniquity, or are they all doing God's will? I cannot tell a pastor what to preach, since I did not anoint him. You went back to a church that works for you, and I decided to enter a church that works for me. We are not the same people. The Holy Communion is also served in RCCG. So there really is no need for any long talk. Peace.

Vivere:

And what is this one asking?

Ignyte:
I'm not religiously inclined but I hope you know that Catholic Holy Communion is different from what RCCG gives

DEMOO07:
my brother God bless you. I don't expect this kind of comment from so called MOG that is spirit filled that study his bible. I see this as envy. When there was no rccg, that catholic were everywhere who complained. I remember okogie and the Catholics fighting jakande the then gov of lagos over hijacking there lands at Maryland and elsewhere for building public schools. Rcch mission was to reach as many as possible with no excuse of the word of God not reaching you at judgement day. Or is he in position to judge anybody? He should be careful and ask of forgiveness from God. In this present world, among the two of them who propagates the gospel more as God mandated? At least no matter the complaint about Church, there is no exception.

cckalima:
so u HV issues wt individuals opening churches and u want CAN to check that. what difference does it make with rccg sporadic branches?
