What your own brains are used for is epic..

Of all he stated, what line are you referring?

The markets that are flooded with humans with unguarded and lack of PPE, you mean the virus attacks people in churches alone?

It's not everything pastors say that you should attack, this comment from this man was not an attack on the govt unless you are proving to lack comprehension..

people need the gospel of Jesus and not churchanity

tillaman:
i hope these pastors are seeing the news I really don’t care about the figure but it’s so clear the virus is still spreading and most of these worship centres won’t adhere to the rules, is it even possible for a church to hold a 1 hour Sunday service? This is more than anybody it’s about the whole nation the pastors should stop thinking about their purses alone, once the spread has been curtailed then you guys can run as many programs as you like!!

Any pastor who claims to have the power should indicate, let's take him to meet Okezie Ikpeazu a confirmed case....stop all these audio claims!

Forgness:
You rarely hear Daniel Olukoya of MFM engage in this kind of talks. What I do not understand about Oyedepo is that he dabbles too much into politics. Despite my respect for him, and I know I supported his visions many times in the past, also appreciate his entrepreneurship skills; I started paying less attention to him for directly supporting Jonathan and he was against the Vice president Prof Osinbajo. And till date, Osinbajo has not for once attacked this man. So, I started watching Adeboye (Osinbajo's pastor) to know who he is. And funny, he seems exactly like Osinbajo. I am about assuming that the same spirit lives in Adeboye lives in Osinbajo. The irony is that Oyedepo and Adeboye are close too.

People close to Oyedepo should tell to him to talk less. Let him emulate Daniel Olukoya who does not fight his battles with direct confrontation, but on his knees. You guys should watch it. Daniel doesn't dabble into politics at all, but you dare not rough handle him. You will return to beg him. What has Winners done that MFM has not done? The latter just decided to not acquire too much wealth and he lives his life silently but shaking and mouldings behind the scene on his knees.

"Me, a tire for this oyedepo oooo". Chai!


Eviana, one reason I am looking into churches established a long time ago (Methodist, Anglican, apostolic, Adventist, etc) is cos the hierarchy does not allow one person to command and control people and resources. Most Christians in Nigeria are blind and they follow prosperity preachers anyhow. You need to add to your prayer list this issue. That God should open the eyes of baby Christians. Adventist, Apostolic and Methodist are some of the olden denominations I am so opened to presently.

Greatzeus:

Yes it's possible to hold one hour service,one hour is more than enough to collect tithe and offering,that's what 98% of Nigerian churches care about,they don't care about heaven or Holiness.

Bevima:
Going through comments from people here, I shows how spiritually blinded and carnal this generation has become. First of all, no matter what a man of God has said, never in your life insult a man of God cos it's like a direct insult to God. Leave him to be judged by God if actually your claims towards him is true. Secondly don't ever compare physical with spiritual matters cos u can't comprehend things of the spirit if u are carnal. Then lastly, he was only trying to say that if marketplaces that people move about unnecessarily from morning till night can be opened why not also open the churches that don't do services all through the week and people don't move about in the church from morning till night. And also there is a greater chance of getting healed in the church than the market. It's just common sense and simple logic. Not everything is about money.

ZKOSOSO:
Very True.
Open our places of worship !
We can handle it with prayers.....!

Digital101:

You can't compare winners with MFM, winners have more members than MFM and more influential.

Churches have been given a template to work with, if they want to re-open but they all rejected it. They just want a blank cheque!

And you still dont understand how this Virus operates, that is why you think just worshiping in the open is a solution!
Concentration of Static people, undergoing rigorous kinetic activity, especially if it involves the Oral cavity, is a magnet for spreading the Virus.
Its all about "Viral Load"
Some activities like Sport (kinetic ) make the person produce very high Viral load, than if the person is just relaxing.
Dancing and Singing in Church is a similar activity.

If Churches can do their Service in the open while maintainig Social Distancing and they are not too many (large crowds is a No-No), maybe they can mitigate the danger of spreading infection among themselves but l will advice against it.
Its not a do or die affair to start Church now, why the desperation to open now?
What is the compelling reason for these Open-Now Pastors?
Maybe they think we will all die at home, if we dont come to Church soon.

glink2015:
I don't know the rationale behind this locked down of a place of worship in lagos and Ogun state...Even in the hit of the pandemic, the Fulani people never lockdown their mosque neither do the Igbo people lockdown their church, but Yoruba people are just something else. I don't think the governor of Ogun and Lagos State can justify the ongoing lockdown of worship centers in and around the State.
Probably, the CAN should petition or sue the two State government....

The Irony about the lockdown of the Christian worship center is that some of those that have been won for Jesus Christ can go back to the world because of lack of fellowship with the brethren...

Blackmoran:
so if you are the government you will open school, church and close the market.. I hail you ooo.. Can church and schools survive without market? If you know chop how you wan dey alive.. I greet you Mr church...

Odmic2839:
Why are you talking like this If the market does not open then how do you want us to survive? Is church a must.... we can all pray at home till all this pandemic is over. Let learn and not to be sentimental about this

ProtectMyMoney:


Market feeds people.

Churches feed only Pastors because every other Church worker works for free as they claim they are working for God so they don't feed from the Church.

Blackmoran:
opening the church is more worse if you have your thinking cap on... How can you argue that market shouldn't be open, can you survive without the market it is essential in day to day survival and it has economic benefit.... So what benefit does the church brings economically for us? if you are spiritual and you think you need to be In a special kind of building before your prayer can be heard then there no difference in you practicing occultism..

MartinsOnyx:
Nobody will die from not going to church or mosque, but there would be hunger in the land if markets get shut. U get?

jstan360:
...you should say which is more rational...I think you know the answer to that!

@GlorifiedTunde

If you believe that until when you enter a church that's when your prayer can be answered then you are not a christian with authority. Bible describe our body as temple of God and where two or three are gather HE is there . So why do you want to open a church why multitude would converge during a pandemic?

Market is where you buy and sell with your physical money for ESSENTIAL THINGS (FOOD)

So be the judge can you go to church without FOOD?

TrebleChamp:
If Government close market, what would Nigerians eat? You can always pray in the comfort of your home as Christian or Muslim but you can't buy all the food stuff you need from your own house. It's common logic my broda....

becos I can come and buy yam and garri in ur church ?

Greatzeus:

There's nobody in Nigeria that is hungry because churches were closed,apart from those whose income depended on other people bringing their hard earned money to them, rather people now have enough to save and to take care of their families,since they are not giving their hard earned money to some money grumbling greedy business men.
But millions of Nigerians were hungry and broke when market and businesses were closed. So personally,I don't give a s hit if government open churches or not. As long as businesses and schools are opened.

PrecisionFx:


Hes asking a very stupid question.

Church is not an essential service in anyway.

Oyedepo is only interested in making money from the church, that's why he's crying
