Daddy Freeze known for this freetTheSheeple movement, just posted this on his Instagram page.

What is calling for attention is the information on the third paragraph of the memo, below.

So, He is asking if the memo is actually from Redeemed Christian Church Of God.

Someone sent this to me.... Could it be true? Or it's just photoshop?

If it is not true then fine.. but if it is, why should it be illegal to 'share' open heavens? Isn't it the 'word of God'? From a man of God? You see the way I beg people to share my messages why can't they do same?
-
Also with 34,000 branches according to the website and so many pastors who must each have a copy, that's thousands of copies sold within the church alone, are you seeing what I am seeing? ~FRZ

Come to think of it, it's actually a good thing as one aunty in my estate forum is always disturbing our lives with 'open heaven' every morning���

See some reactions:

So many people are of the opinion that people should be allowed to freely share the contents of religious books, since they were written to edify people and not written for financial benefits.

Is it no longer about spreading the gospel or is there something I don't understand?

Since we are now looking at it this way, who will sue them for plagiarising the bible? They'll quote the law and claim copyright infringement/plagiarism now cos it suits them and reject tax and talk about how it is the church cos it doesn't.

he knows where to contact for confirmation

They may have an explanation to this.

Lalasticlala, mynd44 , those who post topics from Open Heavens Devotional, everyday on nairaland, should go and get permission, first.

The reason for this is simply PROFIT. He should take clues from the publishers of the Gideon Bible. The publishing company does not charge a dime on the "word of God".

Being worried about copyright infringement or more people being exposed to the word of God daily? Pretty obvious if you ask me.
I know copyright infringement/plagiarism occurs but at the expense of spreading God's words, come on! That they are even looking at it this way says a lot.

That Bible is made available to everybody for free.

They are even happy when you request to help them distribute them.

I have said it and will continue to say it. Pastors are pure Business Men. They do not care about the spiritual and financial welfare of their followers. They only care as long as you continue to play your part and pay your tithes. They would continue to prey and profit from the ignorance, fear of people.

Nna, this 2018 i done resolve say I no go put mouth for any church matter. Wetin I done see done tire me abeg

Must you react to everything? This is 2018: This nonsense must stop. Grow up and do your own thing. If you know the number of people RCCG employs and pays salaries to, you go fear and ask God for forgiveness.

Freeze will soon turn to a nuclear reactor with the way he reacts on daily basis now.

OK

Lack of vision.

What's this guys plan?
All he knows is to criticize people what has he done?

I've had enough!!! Someone close to him should please shut this dude up

Okay

A fool and his money are soon parted.
They can Keep handing over their resources to these fake pastors.
The road to their former churches ( Methodist , Anglican,Baptist , Catholic) is that way .
The day they decide to start going to their former churches , That is the day their neighbourhood mission school will be able to give their children good quality education for free and more.

Hmmmm.

Now this is the crux of the matter, There is no Christianity without love. Infact, the bible clearly stated that the greatest of all the commandment is love. Gideons international share free bible, Jehovah witness issue monthly publications free of charge, churches all over the west contribute immensely towards free outreach in Africa.

The problem the Nigerian churches face today is the absence of love in the practice of Christianity. Jesus died because of love, almost all the miracles by Jesus in the bible were borne out of love.

The early missionaries who brought Christianity went through untold hardship and death in the hand of malaria, many diseases and boat mishaps.... yet they were determined to bring us the gospel with the accompanying free schools, medical care, technology etc.

Unfortunately, what we have in Nigerian churches is greed, envy, hate and gross materialism. How can churches sit back and watch the multi-suffering of its members and yet seek to take away their money in the name of offering, tithe, first fruit etc? Tithing in the old testament was borne out of love "so that there will be meat in the house".... for everyone. In the absence of love, any teaching on giving is useless.

Infact, the state of our society is the reflection of the state of the church. The alarming lack of love is the major difference between the western and African society. That nature of our politics, economy, security etc is lack of love. If the church which should be the biblical lamp is hiding its love under the bushel...... how exactly do they intend to project Christ. Unfortunately, the Nigerian church spends more time defending its unloving practices than draw men to Christ.

Freeze will continue to win until the Church retraces its step back to Love because Love is the greatest. Without Love, Christianity cannot survive. Without Love, our fore fathers would never have left their traditional practices for Christianity.

Honestly, I became weak when I read that memo/circular for obvious reason of controversy it would generate.

The coming of The Lord is at hand. And whosoever thinks he stands should take heed less he falls.

Freeze, you've made sense thus far, but on this, no matter how we put it, Copyright theft and similar crimes are very serious offences that should never be allowed in any form it comes

Why can't they let it circulate since it contain God's words. If people are blessed by it, they will sow back into the church.

Who “Open Heaven” open any heaven doors for? Who epp?

There is too much noise in the system, you all should just focus on what is important please.. all these are distractions

ok

The word "pastorpreneur" should be added in the dictionary and also pastorprise

Just because a denomination decides to employ people the word of God should be commercialized? Rubbish. Absolute nonsense.
