That part about all branches having accommodation isnt true. It is 90% wrong.

This confirms that these churches are business centres.

A pastor at Winners Chapel has cried out after he was sacked for not generating enough money in his branch.

According to the pastor, mr Peter Godwin, he was invited by the state pastor and getting there he met other pastors about 40 and they were all sacked over low income in their branches.

I think people should be taught to give more without pressure from pastors . Running a church ( the edifice ) for the comfort of the church ( the congregation of brethrens ) is not yams . Comfortable chairs , instruments to create music and communicate to people , generators , air conditions , buying and maintaining buses to and fro the church, maintaining a decent income for the pastors so they don’t bother about how to feed their families and can focus on feeding the flock , to even evangelize in this modern time is capital intensive .
How many of you will listen to an evangelist with megaphones in the comfort of your Range Rover? Money is needed is do a lot of things in the church. While I agree that some pastors have abused this need , it doesn’t remove the fact that churches need money to run and Christians need to GIVE.

Lies... I don't believe this.

I believe Oyedepo is more of winning souls rather than mundane things...

Omo.. business gats move forward na..even the fig tree that wasn't producing was cut down..

Pastors should take this as a lesson to venture into other businesses about from church so as not to be caught in a sapastic moment like this..

If true, It wouldn't be surprise because this is a sad but true reality of what the church has turn into these days.

Not much different from the world to whom the church was sent.

One man who I had great respect while growing up was Benson Idahosa. If I'd be honest, I respected him more than God. If God says a thing and he says something else, I would easily take what he says over that of God. So when I see many Christians do same today with their church leaders, i understand where they're coming from because i've been there and done that myself.

One day in late Nineties, a bishop in Idahosa's church, when there were just three of them, who was a family member lamented seriously about how it had become about how much money they brought to the headquarters in Benin City where Benson Idahosa was still in charge.

Although I wasn't yet saved at the time, I wasn't very comfortable with that news, as Benson Idahosa was a man i looked up to with great respect, and that didn't sound very nice in my ears.

It was clear that he had drifted from what he used to be, and began to chase the riches and things of this world which Jesus says chokes the Word and make it not to bear fruits to perfection in one's life.

It was that glaring that after his death his church made it a mandate to go back to their founding principles of evangelism being their supreme task.

So when i speak the way i do about the loss of focus of today's church leaders concerning the things of God, that they now prioritize the lesser things like tithing, I am not speaking because I just want to speak, but I know what I'm talking about.

It's the sad reality of what the church has become today.

I pray the church gets back to the ways of the early church where it was all about God.

God bless.

its called house on the rock.

They are observing Covid19 protocol, so if u don't book online and take a seat, don't even think of coming to church cos they will send u back if there isn't extra seat, booking of seat is free
