Its because he told them the amount he realized that's why they're misbehaving.

Make them go open their own church begin raise money
You Nigerians are pathetic, nothing is "Wrong" as long as you're not the one involve... Very pathetic.

Imagine you requested 1k from your mom through your brother, then she gave your brother 50k... Your brother decided to keep 49k to himself because according to his mentality.. "It was 1k you requested".... You won't be here saying the same thing.

Humans and their hypocritical nature! Very pathetic

The family should go and open their own church na and raise money if na so e easy.

The balance should be diverted and given to another family in need. It only becomes a problem if and when the pastor decides to spend the money on frivolities without the knowledge of the donors.

And by the way, if your church does not open the church account and make financial records public (to all members), then you and your pastors are enablers of fraud. It's one of the many things I love about Foursquare.

All members of Foursquare are entitled to the CHURCH FINANCIAL RECORDS. Every kobo that is spent are accounted for during the church's annual general meeting (including those in the remote areas). The salary and entitlements of pastors are also known to all members as well as tithes, offerings, seeds, donations, etc.

Church is not a one man's business. It is not a secret society either. A pastor that is not accountable to you, an ordinary member, cannot be accountable to the God they told you about. All your favourite apostles in the bible will not hoard tithes and church records. They are not thieves.
Make una no dey support nonsense, the purpose of the fund raising was for that sick, the right thing is to give it to him.

All my years in church, whoever seek financial help, when money is donated, the church don't even count it... The person in need will be the one to take the money right from the alter.

If the money was raised for the church, then the church is entil to their money.

Y'all should stop supporting evil

Situations like this, is what makes TB Joshua exceptionally different.

He might not even allow his ushers to count it. And even if they do, he will rather add than remove anything from it.

Greedy pastors everywhere.

Ps .. I am not a synagogue member. Never been there
Just surprised Nigerians are supporting that nonsense.

My years in church, the church don't even count such money... They gave it to the person in need right at the alter.... That isn't church money.

People like supporting nonsense

The brother is being ungrateful, what of others members that will come for welfare that cannot be announced at the altar. He should be thanking God that the Bill amount was given in full

A member of a church underwent a major operation, and his medical bill was N245,000. And he couldn't afford it.

His brother went to the Pastor on Sunday and told him to assist. The Pastor picked the microphone and told the church that our brother needs N245,000 to settle his medical bill.

Members began to donate.

After donations, what was realized was N760,000. And after the church, the Pastor counted N245,000 and gave the brother to the sick person, and then he put the balance into the church account.

The sick person's family are aggrieved. They're of the opinion that members raised that money for their brother and not the church so the church has no right to keep back any amount given to their brother. Cos the announcement was specifically to raise money for the sick brother.

The pastor is saying that they requested for 245k and he has given it to them. So whatever is left belongs to the church.

Is the pastor right?

Or is he greedy?

Contributions are welcomed.


I WANT YOU TO ANSWER THIS, IF THE MONEY WAS LESS THAN 245K AND THE CHURCH DECIDES TO COMPLETE IT, WILL THAT FAMILY REFUND THE MONEY BACK TO THE CHURCH.
THE FAMILY IS GREEDY.
WITHOUT THE CHURCH PLATFORM THEY WOULDN'T GET ANYTHING

The pastor is a crook. The family supposed to receive the whole money because the church members donated specifically for the sick guy not for the church.

This a theft. The family should sue the church.

You see why I keep saying that religion is all about money and power.

AbuAeesha:

how?
why didn't they meet the church members one on one for the donation?

The Church is one of the gifts of God to man and the last hope of all men whether common or poor men.

So, where a person has requested for help, all the fruits of his request are his. Exactly how gofundme may ask for N750k and may get N1.3m. And it is still given to the needer.

So, if the ungodly can do this, how much more then shall the church of God, not do so?

But maybe that church is the church of men and satan so no problem

Shut up idiot, what if the church decline , you will still insult the pastor now he give them money they requested for you still insult him

If the church is one which belongs to God, then it can never refuse such a request.

Obviously, your church is a church of men and satan.

It's not fair to accuse the pastor of being greedy. The family is also being greedy by wanting to keep all the money raised.

The pastor did a good thing by raising the funds, and it's not the family's business what the pastor does with the leftover money. It's possible that the pastor kept the money aside for other useful purposes related to the family's needs.

Sorry sir, the pastor did the wrong!

The Church, (God's church) is one of the gifts of God to man and the last hope of all men whether common or poor men.

So, where a person has requested for help, all the fruits of his request are his. Exactly how gofundme may ask for N750k and may get N1.3m. And it is still given to the needer.

Unless of course, this is not a church belonging to God.

It's the family that's greedy here.

Why can't they be satisfied with the #245,000 they specifically needed for the bills??

What if they didn't get any?

They will only end up closing that door for future.

I don't see any issue with the Pastor putting the balance in the church's account. It can come in handy for any other member who may get into a similar financial constraint

The family is not greedy, they are the ones who require every help that they can get. And if that church was truly a church of God they would have known The Law of "if thy brother asks for 1 mile, give him 2".
