We would love to hear from pastor Chris. If the pastors criticize his acts, were they wrong? Did he actually charge gate fees? No one is above correction whether annointed or not

BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM, OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS, THE PASTOR MUST HAVE GIVEN THE INSTRUCTION, AND WHAT HE HAD IN HIS MIND IS MONEY NOT THE SOULS. THIS IS AN EYE OPENER FOR FOLLOWERS.

PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW WHEN THEY ARE BEING USED TO MAKE MONEY, THE ONE DONE WITH THE MEMBERS IS NOT ENOUGH, NOW THE HAVE TO DO IT PUBLICLY. SO EVEN THOSE COMING TO THE CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT EVE WILL PAY 1000.

THIS IS NO MORE SOUL WINNING BUT SOUL BIZNESS.

MAY GOD CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THEM, PERSON WHO HIM JOB KNOCK, THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHAT HE HAS BEEN DOING.

X-factoria:

Please stop defending/rationalizing an obviously unchristian act! No reason under the sky is good enough to demand gate fee before entering the "house of God". I am so sure God did not ask the church/pastor to do that.

In fact, if I may ask, are pastors lacking in creativity these days as to prefer making obvious extortions to the veiled ones they used to do in the past??


were you there and did you pay the money? And if its wrong then go to EFCC and report. Jobless people,

Firstly, there is a way things ought to be done. As pastors and leaders, i believe that the pastors ought to have addressed the issue properly. If at all Pastor Chris needed to be corrected, they should have written him or called a leaders meeting whether physical or remote conference or something. Not by attempting to run him down via the public media. It shows an annoying spirit of competitiveness in Gods House.

Everything christian should be done in love. U cant say u want to correct someone by trying to destroy his reputation. There was never a time these pastors ever tried to reach out as a brother in the faith. They always used every single event as a weapon againat Pastor Chris and his ministry. That is wrong.


As for the rest of us who think we can go about correcting Men of God, ask urself this simple question? Is it ur place to correct them

Lets borrow attitudes from developed nations like the UK or US, If we did that what we would be hearing is: Pastor X distanced himself from the issue. Not Pastor Chris should be crucified.

Where is your sense of reasoning? so if man of God rape a new born baby, he should not be corrected, This man is wrong for what he did and so should be corrected, God is no respecter of man, by you man of God, man of Satan or mad man brother

Rebuked? By You? If u really truly believe in God, ud let him do His job. You havent perfected ur own self but u want to help a Man of God perfect himself. He did not err, but i think u r erring right now.

Not by you sir! Is it ur business to go about correcting men of God? Is that ur calling? Did God appoint u to go about insulting men of God when they slip? God is not a respecter of person? lol, its looking like u r not a respecter of person. Just take a look at ur filthy language.

The man has done nothing to u. Let the guys who is cheated speak pls.

@dollypen
How can u say your pastor can never charge money, when  it has even become a norm now to charge money for special programmes,cos i just saw on TV now where the advised some people to register on time in order to win free tickets. You are just as dogmatic as the other 25,000 members who paid the N1,000. I cannot understand what these men are turning christianity into. Where did Jesus  or any of the apostles charge money? I am not judging pastor Chris, but am judging this act. This is pure extortion. I used to attend BLW (Believer's Love World) which is the student arm of Christ Embassy, when I was in school. When it comes to extorting money from student, they are masters of the game. I stopped attending when i was about to leave school and I have never regreted that move.

They claimed its for crowd control, thats 'hogwash'!  They can tell that to the marines. If they really want to control crowd, they can print the tickets and ask cell leaders, unit heads and other leaders in the church to secure tickets for members of their group(free of charge). That way only committed members will be able to attend the 'service' (since it is so special they dont want too many people to come, not even sinners), rather than making it survival of the richest(Rich sinners can come, but if u r poor d gospel is not for u). This is wickedness in its height, religious intolerance against the under privileged. But Pastor chris should know something, God is watching. Someone claimed on this blog that Pastor Chris may not know about all these things, but that person should go and read the bible, when Eli's sons were doing evil in the temple, God punished them and Eli too was not spared. But am sure pastor Chris is fully aware, otherwise he should refund the money once a conned worshiper can produce the con embassy ticket.

Pastor Chris, if you keep on being an extortionist to gospel hungry Nigerians, mark my words, your reign of subtle terror will soon end!
Re: Church Gate Fee: Pastors Condemn Oyakhilome by CGKing(m): 10:01am On Jan 13, 2011
^^^^
sooo funny. U r not judging Pastor Chris, its is act u r judging. Nevertheless u say : Pastor Chris, if you keep on being an extortionist to gospel hungry Nigerians, mark my words, your reign of subtle terror will soon end!

That u left the church is not new to this world, any others have left other folds for this church. That doesnt mean jack. That u didnt regret it is no big deal. Many others who remained in the church including those who left other folds for this church have no regret. I didnt pay a dime for the programme but i chose not to, As i walked into the venue, i was in the mist of a huge crowd n didnt see any tickets. The only difficulty we experienced getting in was the crowd. I saw alot of ppl who looked like mechanics and pepper sellers in the venue, theres no way those would have parted with money to get in. So y dont u just cool off before u make the biggest mistake of ur life.
Re: Church Gate Fee: Pastors Condemn Oyakhilome by joshelen(m): 12:11pm On Jan 13, 2011
I think the love of money was responsible, why is it that it was 1,000 gate fee that ready came to mind in trying to solve the problem of crowd, why not first come, first serve or even using a field if there is interest for the people. news like this make one sad because of the name its gives christianity.

I don't know whether they did the above. But I think pastor Chris has the responsibility of clearing things out. If he did collect gate fees, that is wrong. But if he did not I think he should come out and say so. He has a PRO, let him do so. When rumors like this keep spreading, he should speak against it. Ofcopurse there are some he should be silent over, not this.
