Finally we've flattened the imaginary curve

IF TITHE AND OFFERING IS THE PROBLEM! STOP PAYING!

I am appalled by the recent enormous attack on churches and pastors. Mostly by people who probably have never paid tithe or may have not given to churches in recent years. They jump on the wagon and irrationally begin to vituperate on matters they have no clue about.

People dont have food, water, electricity and no jobs, they ignore their governors, senators and FG and spend time discussing pastors and judging them on how they spend money. Politicians still your tax with brazen audacity and you do nothing. You are not a member of the churches you attack online, the pastors have never invited you, his members have not come to complain to you before, yet, you complain more than those who give in church.

My conclusion is that you are insanely frustrated and looking for where to poor it. Most Christians are on tin line between unbelief and atheism. If tithe and Offering is your problem, stop paying and serve God with all your heart and serve God truly. Focus on doing personal ministry as you ate led by God.

Jesus commanded you and I to preach the gospel and save SOULS. Can you boast of consciously preaching to anyone this year and leading them to Christ, follow up the person and ensure the person matures to become a disciple? I bet you haven't, in your myopic mind, the only people Jesus commanded to do the work is pastors. Yet, when we ask for true believers you raise your hand. Note, Go ye into the world is a command to all of us. Not a suggestion. What is stoping you from going? Stop hiding behind your keyboards to vent your frustration on pastors.

Pastors are not the reason Nigeria is not working. American pastors have more mega churches, some pastors in America have airstrip in their houses. America is working. The people face their government because they pay tax to the government. In church people wilfully give. Your frustration is that mega churches have money and are spending the money. You forgot that these churches did not become mega in 2020. These were churches started in the back side of town in the 1980s. These men, prayed, laboured, toiled, were disappointed and at some point felt like giving up. At that time, starting a church, pastors were seen as non entities. 35 years later, that little vision has grown by virtue of diligence and hard work. You throw away those years of them paying the price and type rubbish on social media. Focusing your attention on tithe and Offering.

Have you forgotten that millions of churches like them started and didn't last up to five years. Some lasted but the pastors are so indebted that they can't pay their children school fees. Not everyone will succeed in same way. I pay my tithe, give Offerings and you are more frustrated than me who is giving and not complaining. Is it your money? Have I come to beg you before? Are you normal. Pastors are not your problem or the reason for Nigeria's lack of development. You drive a good car, how come you drive a good car and there are family members yours that are trekking. There are widows and orphans in your neighbourhood. You shouldn't drive a good car. Sell it and trek to work. Give all you make to support every poor person in your family and neighbourhood. That's the kind of life you want pastors to leave and you will be happy...You won't sell your car because it makes life convenient for your work, for your family and social status. Pastors also buy these jets because it makes ministry easy for them. Some of them may need to be in 4 countries in a week preaching. Imagine queuing up in every airport and jumping connecting flights.

A jet is to a mega pastor what your mercedes is to you. It's about convenience and tool for ease of work. Get that into your head and work hard. Pray that God will bless your hustle. Learn to mind your business...

.If you feel some pastors are mismanaging their church fund, pray for them in love. God is the ultimate judge. He will test everyone's work at the end. I am not the chief registrar of heaven to know which pastors is eating church money or not. I have my own sins, that's my concern not pastors.

Thanks for this.
You said it all

9icest:
Typical black man with depraved sense of superiority over the smaller man. Even Jesus turned the other cheek.

Hallelujah, Daddy Freeze has been conquered. The angels are dancing in heaven. Meanwhile more Christians will be killed by Jihadis in Northern Kaduna But the Christian leaders are not going to say anything. Daddy Freeze is the biggest problem and threat the Propserity-crazed churches are facing.

Daddy Freeze had apologised and moved on. His blind followers like you are still holding on.
May God help you.

People are really making effort to achieve every conceivable weird thing

So Josiah invited death just like that...agents of death all over the place

GUS all the way..
It tests your strength and grit. Gives viewers the impression that hardwork, determination and focus are paramount in achieving lasting success in life. Not to talk of the adventurous mindset it portrays to viewers to underscore the importance of risk-taking in life.
BBN on the contrary only promotes levity and moral decadence.

The same fate awaits all his kind who derive joy in unleashing untold mayhem in the lives of innocent citizens. Unless they repent and turn a new leaf.

What a sad news!
Such is life though, anything can happen at any time.
Reason why one must hold onto God at any point in time and live a good life that brings glory to God.

agabusta:
I really do not know why they are dignifying him with a response.

Invariably, they are making him more popular and giving him the publicity he craves.

They are also setting up themselves for more tongue lashing and the urge for further counter replies, which leads to multitudes of words.

Should he be allowed to have a free rein thereby injuring some weak minds who pay attention to him?

Nothing come out..
Edo populace have got their mind made up... Obaseki or nothing

So sad

Smart move to ensure efficient rigging

Ogbuu101:
Not impossible.
There's a video circulating where he mentioned some fulani leaders took him to Niger republic and Cameroon and listed Taraba,Nasarawa,Plateau and Benue as states they wanted to take over and pleaded for his support.
He was summarily executed by the army which is under d control of Abuja.
We all know how much this present govt is pro fulani,so put on your thinking cap.

Interesting...

Joshmodest:
And now the word submission becomes insulting ,cos its used on a man ... I hope you know that it was God that created them too and not Cain?

Well, God created all things and the word 'submission' here is not insulting in any way.
If you look closely at successful marriages, one or both parties must've somehow consciously or unconsciously heed this injunction.

Igbochief001:
Did Christ not submit himself to the church ?

No, he didn't. He's coming to die for mankind is not necessarily submission to mankind.
Christ is the head of the church just as a man should be the head of the family.
Submission here has to do with yielding of control, and just as the church should yield control to Christ, a wife should yield control to the husband.

Ogbuu101:
Ask yourself, all the summary executions of criminals plus countries that actually carry out death sentence for capital crimes,have they really stopped people from going into crime?
On the contrary, it makes d criminals more deadly cos they know its do or die.
That Gana probably has a lot of info that will implicate especially some elements in Buhari's govt on their collusion with the fulanis in the crisis in the Christian communities of the middle belt,so he had to be silenced.

Your last paragraph is somehow confusing to me...
Are you saying he was killed because he had information regarding Fulani sponsors in Buhari Govt.?

Igbochief001:
Daddy freeze never said wife's should not submit to the husband ...he only said it's a two way thing ...both husband and wife should submit to each other ....and gave a Bible verse to back it up

I wonder what's wrong with that ?

What's wrong is that a man isn't meant to submit to his wife, he should love the wife.
It's not a two way thing. Each has their different role to play and must stick to it regardless of the other's flaws.
It could be difficult but that's the injunction.

Bonatheripper:
Totally different man.
One has moustache and the other don't


Failed ploy by Nigeria military to confuse the masses why the said gana is somewhere in Ibiza enjoying his settlements.


My humble analysis

He's the one oga, both pics has moustache. And in the previous pictures, the shoe is exactly the same

Outright killing of such a repentant high profile criminal is good and bad at the same time...
His death will serve as a deterrent to others who may wish to go into such
crime in the future.
But may likely enliven his followers to continue from where he stopped.
Benue state government must have to beef up security, especially in that Katsina-Ala axis.

Righteousness89:
By The Mercies of God we Declare her Release wherever she is being Held in the Name of JESUS..

Amen

The army killed him on purpose, there was nothing like gun battle. Even one of his hand was cut off

Very nice... would have love to visit these places if not for security issues

SegFault:
They don't, wild animals don't go around killing recklessly, a lion could eat once or twice in a month and forget it, unlike human beings that hunt for food, skin etc, therefore unbalancing nature.

You know how many predators there are out there..
They may eat seldomly but with their number, preys go down in their numbers every day.

PAGAN9JA:
For a moment I was scared and clutched my chest after reading the headline on the frontpage, thinking it was some larger rare animal such as a civet or deer or antelope or monkey or elephant that was unfortunate enough to "run" into these savages compound.

I thought our indigenous Nigerian wildlife suffered another serious blow what with Nairaland constantly promoting illegal activity and killings of our endangered wildlife wealth on frontpage.

I am however finally relieved to find out that it is only a common rat. Enjoy your meal!

Nigerian wildlife will survive another day.

Antelope, deer, civet, monkey...
Why not go to the jungle and protect these animals against predators like Lions, Tiger, leopard...they pose more danger to their lives more than us

How come their monetary value amount to £50k??

People like Daddy Freeze read Bible just to find loopholes that they will use and attack men of God.

ABlAstate:
Enugu is an overhyped jungle. Dilapidated, filthy and backward. Enugu is filled with poverty inflicted people. Don't mind the propaganda governor

All these hatred and bitterness against people who aren't aware of your existence
Pathetic

blinking001:
Stop killing this harmless creatures please. Stop this wickedness already.

Harmless in what sense?

Cyberterror:
The same Jonathan who is now an errand boy to Buhari. Level pass level. Next level.

Catch your sense before it goes too far

Pathetic...
Thought this nonsensical tradition has been abolished years ago.

Nice one..
He's making progress.
From expressing 'shock' to expressing 'worry'

Prophet is right.
He's become an integral part of the club and it's a difficult time for Barca, he shouldn't add salt to their injury..

I still want him in EPL tho
