To make this place complete,the Church should ensure it's greening with trees and other forms of landscaping

uvie66:
so other Christian denomination do not worship God ?

Kennydoc:


I understand your point and it's saddening but you should know it isn't just about Pentecostal churches. I grew up in the Anglican church, and I remember that in those days, the Diocese will give all the churches a levy called Assessment. If you see how rural and local churches used to struggle to pay the assessment, all of which goes to the diocese. Even today that they collect tithe, the whole tithe still goes to the diocese. The only difference is that the Bishop doesn't 'own' the church, so he doesn't have much right to the whole money.

I won't be against giving of tithes and offerings because some pastors abuse it out of their greed. Some churches (like the one I worship in) really needs the tithes and offerings to keep going. The pastor doesn't even have direct access to the church money. At the beginning of every month, they will present an account of all the earnings and spendings in the past year.

Lol. I know someone who attends a branch of one of the top 2 churches in the country (def not Winners). The church is a fairly new church. They don't even have walls. You get the picture? But Everytime they contribute money (be it offerings, tithe), guess where it goes? That's right. The HQ. They are even levied on top of it. They do everything by themselves, a congregation of not up to 50 persons. They don't receive a dime from the HQ.

Be rational, but is such a thing just?

This is commendable but as a Christian it should be opened to all faiths just like they don't admit only their members in covenant uni

There is rush now. I can't confirm that now.

Can people who had to work or do business in Victoria Island, Lekki & Ikoyi daily live in Ota?
May be its for people who works in cannanland.
I hope all their members/papa's lovers and worshipers have all bought a house there?
24 hours power supply, as if they won't pay for it.

Josh44s:
Does one needs to be a member of Winners or even a Christian to acquire a property there?

You're a Candidate of heaven because you live in an estate owned by a Pastor? Wow. You should back it up with scriptures. That part where Jesus said living in a pastor's estate automatically qualifies you for heaven.

HeyCorleone:



Why do some of you take it to heart when they criticise men of God who are just mere men like you and I? You openly criticise your political leaders, who the Bible teaches you should accord same respect as a pastor, but when someone criticises a pastor you idolise, you immediately grow teeth and claws and come to their defense, usually in a vulgar manner. Is that how you gain heaven points?

HeyCorleone:


I like how you insult me because I'm not the sort that would bow before your pastor or kiss their ass or deify them.

Pastors are accountable to God and man. After all, they don't preach to spirits. It's a mentality like yours that allows the pastors their excesses. It's your sort that would see his pastor with a prostitute having sex on the altar and still go ahead to bash the prostitute and try as much as possible to exonerate the pastor.

There's a huge difference between criticism and insults. Criticism is good. It's how the church has survived. If Martin Luther never criticized the church in the 16th century, there would be no Protestant arm today, and by extension, the Pentecostal faith. But it's funny, how Pentecostalism, a branch that arose out of criticism, frowns upon every form of criticism against their church and pastors. It's bemusing, and only shows how a good number of its congregation are refusing to think for themselves, thinking God would punish them for criticising, speaking up, or asking questions.

You're a mere man. Your pastor is a mere man. Unless you are both God and Man, a quality only Jesus possessed, you're just a mere unworthy mortal. Speaking it doesn't bring it into existence. You better embrace the harsh reality and be more welcoming of criticisms as that is the only way the church can grow.

The Lord be praised. Amen.

[b]Here is my response according to your sequence

1, if your faith denomination allows you to fight for it, then you are not different from Islamic extremists. If it teaches you to ridicule people for airing their opinion then I suggest it should be demolished and the place converted to a zoo

2, I noticed you omitted names like Mustapha, Mohammed, Christianity isn't about fancy names or whatever you chose to call your self. It's more if inclusive gathering, Christ came for unbelievers to win them. How can you win the souls when you have shut your doors against them. Opening the gates of cannan city for all that meets the criteria excluding denomination criteria will speak voulme.

That singular act alone will make headlines and win more souls than all of Oyedepos crusade together (mostly attended by winners members) but some acts speaks louder than the fanciest of mega phones.

If you take Gods word as final opinion on all matters can you give bible instances where God said you should profile people based on their belief [/b]

Nice development. From this project: a bricklayer had won a contact, an architect had fed his immediate and extended family, a plumber has been enriched and many more ordinary ppl have been blessed.
Long live the church!
Long live the church!!
Long live the church!!!
I think It’s high time the mosque stopped being a liability. I advise they starts raising funds from arms too, so that they will not be brainstorming the followers alone, but also contribute to national growth and development. The church has raised lots of entrepreneurs, lots of CEOs and inspired many intellectuals to interact, and develop. Remove the church from Nigeria and the remainders will be Carcasses. Any religion that preaches against Civilization but encourages population, emphasizing arms giving and receiving to cater for needless unwanted kids roaming around the streets is a danger to the world and of course, the unborn generations

Jaynom:
@OP Calm down. Yes it is beautiful. You should also remember that it is a business! It is for those who can pay! The common members cannot afford it. It is oyedepo's personal business! It has nothing to do with the Gospel of Christ! I respect Oyedepo's business Acumen but business is business!

BotherMleeper:


You sound like a half-educated nitwit who has succeeded in personally deluding himself. If your attitude here is emblematic of the church you attend, then the whole pack of you is hell-bound.

You're just snapping at people for saying their minds as if the conman oyedepo has tasked you to be his little yapping puppy.

I also condemn your hallucinations that you're a god. You're scum, a maggot, an irritant who's best served some online justice to shut your disgusting smelly mouth and let older people talk.

HeyCorleone:



Lol. Classic Pentecostal logic. When the argument overwhelms you, it's necessary to play the "I'm a god, carnal mind can't understand the things of spirit" card. It never gets old. Lol.

There's nothing spiritual about building houses people pay you to live in. Even atheists do it.
