Nigerians are anti-religion by default.

Nobody is seeing in practical sense that he his investing locally, that this investment will attract religious tourism to Ota and it's environment as similar to Synagogue, Mecca etc.
This construction will creat massive employment and prosperity for local labour and suppliers.


For those saying share 1,000,000 to 160,000 people... Within 2 months the money would locate the true owners, Capitalist and real business people because it's a known fact that unearned money have no intrinsic value.

You dey mind some of them? They currently hold four services every Sunday in the current 50k+ auditorium - meaning by the time they are done with this, it will still not be enough (wch is y d article here said something abt converting d current 50k auditorium to overflow) but atleast the number of services might be reduced to two until they need to increase the number of services again. Where in the Bible did Jesus oppose building church auditorium? Did d Bible 4bid pastors n non - paid/paid church workers frm resting?(d auditorium WL see 2 dt tru reduction in the number of services). Some of them just saying trash without been logical.


The church is marching on. I am a Winners' member BTW.

Who's pastors are those we see around that look like they need help


So, you're blaming people's financial lack or level on sin abi


1985 when the man was preaching but poor, was he a sinful preacher too?


Go and read your books my dear. I'm not your mate. I'm a Minister of God. And know when wrong is wrong.


Oga you have problem with understanding hence your failed so called Ministering experience. I never mentioned sin but knowledge

To properly lead you to what I clearly have written...


I stated that it is to you ccording to your following... Following not about your title.. It is about what you do in your closet


I know pastors in Winners who when they received their Exhortation guide never opens it until they climb the altar... Exhortation or teaching guide is like a brief that should guide you but they collect that and the day they are to minister they simply reecho what is in that guide



If they were to be founder do they belive that such input from them would have grown the church to this global scale that it is today Stewardship is rewarded by God


Who gave Papa Oyedepo the resources to start the ministry and take it to what it is today?

The man has said it that when he saw it in the scripture that God sent them without purse he finished even what he had.. He brought nothing to ministry but lacked nothing because he focused on revelation and taught that to the people and as they prospered by it they remembered him


It is same with me. Whatever i have, the man, PAPA Oyedepo will never lack

Not if it is properly done. Empowering people is not the same as dashing them money. A million naira in productive capacity for 160,000 people will produce more than what the contractors and suppliers would gain from the project

The contractors have passed through the rigorous stages of apprenticeship to mastery.
They have staffs that will be paid.Their staffs have children that will be fed.
At the end you will still discover that almost 100,000 People will still be paid based on thier skillset and not based on entitlement.

I dare to ask you. Can a person make 160 Billion in a year in non profit sector?


If for example it took 15 years to raise 160 Billion, can you here and now publish charitable deeds of up to 1 Billion annually in the past 15 years the same tenure.?

But I thought rapture will happen anytime soon and your Jesus will soon come. Plus you people said you're in the last days, so of what use is the church? Coupled with the fact that there are at least 5 churches in every street. Also, the so called souls they want to save are people who are already Christians. It's not as if people are converting in mass numbers.
So this is just strictly business. cheesy

Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:1-4

When hypocrites and enemies of Christianity ask this stupid question : why pastor are not giving to the poor, i share the above scripture with them.
This stupid set of pple judge without knowing, they criticize without understanding.
They are blinded by their hatred and agenda.
Do you know how much Oyedepo gives to the needy, you dont, i dont,
Scripturally it is between him and his God. It is non of your business.
At least i know of thousand who are a beneficiary of his scholarship program, I know because i am a partaker.

The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The above scripture clearly explain most of the comment here. Tithing looks foolish to them, offering looks foolish to them, building house of God looks foolish to them , becaause they are carnal minded.

You too go far self.
If he shared 160 billion naira with 160,000 people each person will have 1 million naira.... Even if he shared it with 1.6 million people everyone will still have 100 thousand naira which will still go a long way.
if them give you,you go collect?

See how you sidon calculate am finish

you hate church yet you want to collect money from church

the money is for church building not for sharing or are you a lover of financial misappropriation lol

First, for those saying Papa should have shared money as "poverty alleviation", how significant is the one that your useless Government has shared?

I seriously would have wished some of you make your opinions from a position of knowledge and not because you have to talk trash. Laralek is an indigenous construction company with over a thousand employees on this project working day and night. I am seated close to the site of the project in Canaanland as I type this so I can visibly see what's going on on ground here.

There are specialists in from various fields who are not even Christians and not even members of Winners who are working on this project. Not mentioning the multiplier effect that the project has on the income people earn and the businesses, several of them, that the project impacts on.

How many visible tiny projects has the useless APC Government successfully completed? sad angry

Some Christians don’t know anything about who they are, who they are following and why. They follow anything Aslong as u speak the Christian lingua.

I don’t have any problem building a church in the sky if u have done what is important 1st. Have u taken care of those among u? Or is that building to organize ur church activities more important? How much have u invested in the lives of believers and pastors around u? Let’s not talk about strangers and unbelievers. undecided

Brilliant

I followed Him for over a decade before I sat I realised it didn't reflect the Christian Faith I want to see in the world. Carry my bag and left

My only regret was spending beyond a day with such people


The truth is many Christians are used to bad leadership so they don't know how to demand good leadership

If Joseph was using the resources of Egypt to build pyramid nd the rest ignoring human capital investment, an entire generation across the world would have died.
