Another trash news! How can a man be employed in August 2020 and in less than a year, he becomes the head pastor of any church in Living faith? Really?? Well he was discharged for POOR CHURCH GROWTH. Nowhere in the discharge letter was POOR OFFERING GENERATED, mentioned as reason.

orisa37:
GOOD. SACK THEM ALL FOR MISAPPROPRIATING CHURCH FUNDS. THEY'RE THIEFS AND LOOTERS OF CHURCH ASSETS.

AmandaTalks:

Many of this sacked pastors deserved to be sacked.
I witness some report that some pastors posted to rural area’s in some state don’t even open their church for some month. They doctored their attendance and reporting it accordingly until the MIS official visited the church physically and discovered that the church has been locked down for so many month. Infant the whole place was filled with grass.
Many of this pastors just looking for salary not to serve God and winners mandate is winning souls to God kingdom even a member of winners church must come along to church with new souls.imagine pastor posted to a church and unable to increase the attendance of that particular church and you are expecting the leadership to start praising you.
If you can’t go about your father’s business don’t expect rewards from your father. You must be disciplined. Do things of God as yourself. As at this moment. I’m praying at this midnight to God for more souls to our church and the more souls the more everything increases in the house of the lord.

jesusjnr2020:
[s]Such a lame excuse from an ITK who thinks she knows about what it takes to run a church than one of the first bishops of Church of God Mission, and also those in charge of the church who decided to retrace their steps back to their founding principles after his death.

Do not be surprised that the Truth and Words of the Spirit evokes yawns from you and makes you feel, being someone led of the flesh and the things of this world.

This wasn't meant for the carnally minded, who can't comprehend the things of the Spirit, but those who are born of the Spirit who can.

So next time, please kindly ignore[/s].

When did you really know Oyedepo? My discussion with you is over seeing that you are new catch mugu

Kobojunkiee:
You mean am? This man don openly talk of personal battle with sickness before?

Salary and pension benefits for full time clergy is not wrong ooooo

mastermaestro:


Most people will abuse you for this statement of fact. This is the exact reason why Nigeria is dying daily. People want to enjoy salaries, allowances and wages without being productive. How can a nation grow if its people don't add anything to it?

The Living Faith Church I know pays their pastors monthly salary. Does it mean that the said pastor wants to be getting paid for doing nothing? Free salary from headquarters accounts while you gallivant as a branch pastor with no fruits? He is a criminal! He needs to return what has been paid to him so far.

I like the way LFC has applied the law of redundancy. Whatever is not fruitful should be chopped off! People can cry blood for all I care. Sentiments don't achieve goals. And only a leader without set goals will condone unproductive subordinates.

chloride6:


A non-profit needs to make profit?

You sabi be meaning of non?

jaxxy:



Is being a pastor a job or a calling??

Christianity is being turned into religion fully based on money. U can even put advert out for Pastors wanted and they apply. Give them salary and pension or hire them from bible skol.

What is worse is they all answerable to one man the founder in Pentecostalism and not to the church body like Catholics and others types.

Where did the Bible say pay Pastors salary? did apostles paul or the disciples collect salary?

emmanuelewumi:



Full time clergy should be paid salaries that will be approved by the diocesan and parish church council.

The clergy are in charge of the spiritual affairs, parish church council is responsible for the finance, budget, funding and administration.

Different groups and societies in the parish have a representative in the Parish Church Council and not a one man show as we have in most Pentecostal churches

generationz:


Don't be slow I attended the church for years. Stop spreading lies.

LebenNG:

Oh you expected something like that to be spelt on paper? paper that can be exposed anytime? and you know nobody wants controversy, talk more of a church?,its only the pastors that understand that meaning. Its okay to engage the pastors to know what caused low membership in their church so they can strategise ways to redeem that than outright sacking. I bet the affected churches now have newly posted pastors whose offer letters and instruction to deliver has been duely stamped and signed.

Krismas:
Did it occur to u, that 40pastors were discharged? And only one came to media to complain. If there was an injustice, the number of complaints wud have been more. U obviously don’t know the level of indiscipline among these pastors. So hold ur peace

dahdopedaniels:

Before talking or writing a thing, ensure you get your facts right. Kenneth Hagin is dead, so I wonder where your idea of "he will not live a minute less than 120..." is coming from. SMH!

Or maybe longer like Kenneth Hagin , I think, who believes he will not live a minute less than 120 in his kingdom here on earth. undecided

2dominate:

You can tell me that when the mosque sacks 40 imams, as for now na this matter we dey try settle

Same thing with mosques.... they are all "glorified" business ventures built by men to the purpose of power and wealth over other men. It's all about controlling access to God and the things of God, as well as the narrative. undecided

So don't delude yourself for one second thinking this is only a Christian thing.

patani:


You obviously don't read to understand or ure basing ur assertion on emotion... Are you saying organization of christ's body (or a congregation who profess to propagate gospel should be setup for profit? so If I am intrested in a profit venture, church is one of the things I should consider to set up?

What you do not know is that Methodist and Anglican you guys criticize even have pure intention than 80% of Pentecostals today (Including those in America)...I am a member of a Pentecostal but to be honest...if you do not use ur relationship with holy spirit and have a personal time to study the word u will do many things blindly that will mess u up....for instance issue of thithin...the only one getting rich in the equation is the collector...I know many many many thithers strugling and I know a few making it...but wat I realised is that its not a factor....may non tithers too are making it...

Even bishop Oyedepo we are talking about has said many times that he is in business ...I heared him say it not that I was told...not withstanding...everybody to his belive...we will all knmow what is right when we meet our maker...enjoy

The NEW Covenant Law of God, Jesus Christ , in the Kingdom of God is an agreement between God and individuals , not to nations or peoples or even your churches or nonprofit organizations.

So when Jesus Christ said what He did in Matthew 10 vs 8 is instead a direct commandments to you as a person , not to a church or nonprofit group you subscribe to.

Anglican, Methodist etc., are organizations set up by men in order to gather for themselves power and wealth over their fellow men in the name of God. Jesus Christ never asked anyone to build Him churches or kingdoms here on earth, nor did he ask for business in his honor. He didn't ask anyone to set up schools on his name or acquire education in his name

So stop confusing that which is of God with that which is not.

Kobojunkiee:
I am not the emotional one here

Jesus Christ said His Church is built by Him. So, that means your churches which are built and managed by your Pastors and their Mogs are not Jesus Christ's Church.

Your churches are registered and managed as business according to the world and not God's Laws since God never gave laws for such to begin with.

patani:

God never gave law for such?

Are you a Muslim or you just don't read bible?

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

We are all here condeming the act of church as a business enterprises and you seems not to even understand my post of even desern the context of my point...

Oga abeg leave me....to everyone his belive...

Kobojunkiee:
Stop with the emotional rambling! Get straight to providing an answer. If you claim God did in fact command your churches, then show us where He did that.

Calling your churches business enterprises is simply stating an over 1700 years old fact. If you are able to show it is not, go ahead but stop wasting my time and yours with the drawn out ridiculousness.

Kobojunkiee:
Wetin concern me with morals?

TiglathPILESER:

You have lost it. From henceforth I cease to caution you about any topical issue on Christianity. Ofcourse nothing bothers you about morals. Do you know the man called Aleister Crowley....look him up...his motto was 'do as thou wilt' - in other words ' morals can go to hell'. I knew I would come to know what you truly stand for. Christianity is fatherhood and nuturer of morals...everything morals stand for except self-righteousness.

If everything about our present day doctrine of Christianty is wrong as you wildly claim on many occasions, how about evangelism - The great commission what stops you from engaging in it. Again, what on Earth stops you from leading your pack of believers and let's see how God will back you with his power?

Ofcourse you won't, or if you were, nairaland would know. Instead you leave the few lovers of the gospel in disarray....contempt and uneasyness with your deep rooted abraviseness! Blocking others from joining the flocks!

You keep using the name Jesus but have never for once applied the doctrine of the great commission to your portfolio of arm chair criticism against the kingdom work of others.

jaxxy:


It’s is obvious the church is now a business organization and venture. See talk.

AjanleKoko:

Wow, Kobojunkie still dey this lungu�

sisisioge:


Hmmmm....even if he's hiding under financials, some element of the story will help you see that the church is still wrong.

1. 40 pastors involved. All of them are corrupt?
2. They were sacked! How can God's people cast away theirs? We dont cast away our own, we sort to improve them.

The rest of the story isn't relevant.
