"It takes spiritual understanding 2 be profitable in d Kingdom of God & in prayers. Wisdom is a principal demand 4 anything dat must be built. Our covenant stewardship puts a tie between u & God. God's determination for any man's peace cannot be interrupted"-Pst David Oyedepo Jnr

"One of d blessings dat accrue 2 us in prayer & fasting is d outbreak of light. Praying 4 other's is a strategic prayer protocol. Every change of story is @ a cost. U're not empowered 4 status, but 4 service"-Bishop David Oyedepo

"Testimonies are powerful overcoming weapons. Placing God first is a winning card any day. It is prayer warfare dat is required to rescue the souls of men. The more committed we are to serving Him, d higher heights we scale"-Bishop David Oyedepo

"Only a serious approach 2 every given task, guarantees a glorious result. One of d ways 2 serve God is thru Prayer & Fasting. God will always build an edge around those who serve Him. He is a defender of His servants"-Bishop David Oyedepo

Nobody with another idea ?

There has been so much buzz about Church universities being expensive in Nigeria and I would like to address some of this controversies mostly using Covenant University as a case study
Tithes/Offerings are used to build Church Universities?This seems to be a widely asserted theory. This is partly not true because most Churches don’t exactly use Tithes/Offerings for building church universities but create special donations for that purpose. Usually, the initial university capital projects are funded with these donations. We have to remember that the core mandate of any church isn’t not to create universities but to preach the gospel of Jesus and help the poor and this done with tithe/offering to establish outreaches, pay pastoral salaries, build new churches etc.
Donations can’t sustain recurrent expenditure: while ‘excited’ members would usually agree to pay donations for the initial financial responsibility of the universities. No church would be able to get its church members to continually pay for its recurrent expenditure. In fact if any of these church schools were to try and choose continual donations as an alternative to ‘High’ tuition fees the next thing you would see are private university lecturers going on strike.
Are Church universities profitable?I do not believe any sane investor or business man would venture into the tertiary education sector with the aim of making profit. There is a reason why you wouldn’t find Otedola or Dangote investing in education.
Assumed wealth of the Church:there is a saying in Yoruba land that ‘’the chicken sweats but the feathers won’t let you know’’. Would you believe that Oyedepo nearly missed his own deadline for the establishment of the first two halls of residence in Covenant University? because donations weren’t coming forth, until God miraculously provided.
‘Expensive’ tuition isn’t unique to Pentecostal Churches: whilst many choose to assault Bishop Oyedepo for charging high tuition fees. It is important to note that even Orthodox churches which are known not to be ‘’prosperity conscious’’ charge within the same bracket e.g Bowen(Baptist), ECWA(Bingham), Godfrey Okoye(Catholic), Adventist(Babcock), JABU(CAC) e.t.c
Expensive tuition isn’t unique to Church universities alone;Church universities are ranked to be generally good with Covenant University averagely in top three on the two out of four most reputable rankings in the world-Webometrics and Times higher education. However Islamic schools that are not in the top 50 universities in Nigeria but also charge about half a million which is about the same thing CU charges.
The underlining purpose for creating Church schools;This is very important, the creation of church schools isn’t to actually teach physics and chemistry, but to create a spiritual revolution. Take that spiritual revolution away from CU, then it is by no means different from Afebabalola university. Therefore, if you are a committed member of your church you are already a member of that movement. For instance I am not a living faith member, but by attending CU I have joined myself to the spiritual movement of the existing members.
Finally, Church education can not be seen as a means to compensate members for years of dedication or commitment to tithing but an end time ammunition to take over the education sector for Jesus. However the church has a responsibility to the poor-and that cannot be overstated. Although it is wrong for you to expect material gain from your church because you gave your Tithes/Offerings to them-it goes against the principles of scripture. When you give your tithe next time, remember that you are giving it out to be blessed by God and not Church

Very intelligent analysis. Nice one!

"Every encounter with divine secret changes one's level. Divine secrets are d keys 2 where ur future is stored. It is a heart cry dat counts in prayers, not a good speech. Move 4rm revelatns of d word, 2 divine secrets. Divine secret is only accessible 2 dose dat fear God. It is not what u do dat matters, but where u stand, therefore, stand with God"-Bishop David Oyedepo

"Every genuine questn 4rm a believer, is entitled 2 an ans 4rm God. Challenging God will put God off"-Bishop David Oyedepo

"Prayer goes beyond asking 4 things, but asking 4 d way out. If gates are still being shut against u, it is an indicator dat u need a change of levels in d school of power. D essence of empowerment is d confirment of dominion over life's situatn & circumstances"-Bishop David Oyedepo

"Don't be satisfied praying, let nothing satisfy you but d answer. Don't just pray 4 praying sake, pray 4 answer sake" -Bishop David Oyedepo

My case is different greetings to every member of the winners family. Today marks the beginning of the prophetic prayer & fasting 4 d year 2017. We give all glory 2 God 4 another awesome time in his presence.

I will like 2 admonish us 2 make dis season a most profound one as it is expected dat we're empowered in2 next levels after dis exercise.

We shud as our custom is, engage in kingdom advancement prayers using our anchor scripture, Matt 6:33. Let us use our intercessory prayer guidelines 4 d kingdom 2 bring our kingdom heart desires b4 God.

Also as Papa said, segment d fast in2 3days each, because d scripture says on d 3rd day He will raise us up. Dat means we are expected 2 have minimum of 7 profound testimonies if we fully engage & adhere 2 every instruction 4rm God's Servant.

May all our prayers be answered in Jesus Name. Remember, because we are redeemed of the Lord & as a Covenant Child, whatever affects others is not permitted 2 affect us. Our case shall indeed be different.

Amen!

Like father like son. Congrats!

Guys/Men do not think about sex all the time. Speak for yourself alone.

The research that claimed men think about sex every seven minutes got latterly debunked as a hoax. And men certainly do not become unfocused, moody, irritable, tense, impatient, or suffer physical pain for not having sex as you so claimed. Do you have scientific proof of this other than anecdotal narratives?

If anything, denying the body of the orgasmïc bliss of carnal pleasures keeps one's senses in the pink and awakeningly conscious.

Why do you think athletes abstain from sex while a sporting season is underway? Why do you think many of the World's greatest all took sabbaticals from sex before they made crucial inroads in their work? Abstinence from sex improves focus.

Lack of self-control and inactivity are what causes men to think about sex all the time. You forget an idle mind is the devil's chimney.
If a man has a job, an avocation, a pastime that keeps him preoccupied, wanting to have sex wouldn't be primal on his to-do list.

Plato once posited that humans have a tripartite soul. He said we have three sides to us:

I.) The logical side.

II.) The emotional/spirited side and,

III.) The appetitive side.

The appetitive side of course encompasses our desires to have sex, to eat, to cavort and frolic etc.

Plato went further to say that the quintessential man is one who has transcended the appetitive realm and taken residence at the core of the logical aspect of his/her personhood. He claimed those governed by their appetitive hankerings are beasts and are no different from pigs and goats.

You see, even as far back as the time of Plato, men with self-control abounded, and have always dwelled on a higher plane of existence unlike men who are viscerally-fain and whose sexual needs dictate the complexion of their lives.

The mind of a man is not in default mode to constantly think about sex. An atavistic trait no doubt, but men have evolved.

Wow! I love ur analysis! U're so bright & intelligent. Dis is spot on!

So happy with d news about Tekno's disqualificatn, sincerely dat nominatn is just an insult, he deserves better. Nywys, my Mr Eazi shud get d award!
