Angelmichael63: Bishop Oyedepo addresses issue of Living Faith Rural Churches Low Income:
NONSENSE ! OUR ONLY CRITERIA IS HOW MANY SOULS WON AND NOT HOW MUCH INCOME.
WHEN WE EMPLOYED 7000 PASTORS AT ONCE SOCIAL MEDIA WAS DEAD. WE HAVE MORE EMPLOYEES THAN MOST STATES IN NIGERIA AND WE HAVE NEVER OWED THEM OR TAKEN BANK OVERDRAFT ONCE.
THE PASTORS WERE ASKED TO GO BECAUSE THEY WERE UNFRUITFUL. MANY OF THE CHURCHES BUILT CAN NEVER PAY FOR THE CHURCH BUILDING IN 30 YEARS.
WE HAVE NO PATIENCE WITH FAILURE HERE.
-Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP
*We have built more than 1,000 Churches in rural areas where in the next 30 years, they can never generate such fund, with each costing more than 14 Million Naira. *We are hunting after souls, not income.
People are confused about our Ministry. I learnt some fellows said, “you know, they are not bringing income, that is why they asked them to go.” We asked you to go because you are unfruitful. Unfruitful! Blatant failure. Doing what there? We have no patience with failure here. When we employed 7,000 people at a time, Social Media was dead. We have more employees in this Organisation than most of the States. No one is owed a dime salary and we don’t borrow, we don’t beg. Ask our bank whether we take overdraft. We are covenant bound, working in the light of God’ Word. Enjoying an open Heaven. We have fully delivered the first phase of 1,000 plus buildings to the rural Churches. None of those Churches can generate that fund in the next 30 years. No, we are hunting after souls.
Money: NONSENSE! We have never lacked it and yet we have never prayed for it, we are just simply obeying God and He is backing up what He is asking us to do. Awesome God.
Now the next set is about to be flagged off, just certifying the landed property issues, nothing else. We have no lack of anything. The world is confused. Walking in the light of God’s Word. Please obey God to the full and watch out for His manifestations in your life. Well, you don’t need so much Mathematics to know a thousand buildings; that is not 1000 Naira each, that is not 10 Million (Naira) each, that is not 12 Million (Naira) each, that is not 14 Million (Naira) each. Some are 35 Million (Naira). At a go! We have never seen it ourselves. We just watched God doing it. The only criteria: How many souls have they gotten there? Then, build for them. How many souls? Not once: “how much money do they have?” Apart from individuals now investing in promoting the Kingdom of God: building 5 Churches, some building 2, some building 3 Churches. Just obey God. Obedience will turn you to a living wonder Have you ever seen raise a prayer point of “O God, send us money”? You have been here for some time, we pray every day. Now we pray 3 times a day: Covenant Hour of Prayer; Covenant Revival Prayer: Morning and Evening. Going out every day on the streets. You want to see what we see, go and do what we do. But if you are not saved, there is nothing you do that matters. There is nothing you do that matters.
Note: The Church has spent over 2 Billion naira to built over 1000 church auditoria in the first phase.

CHoP is an acronym for Covenant Hour of Prayer.
This pure Pride talking so so sad what they have reduced Christianity to. These GOs and so called Pastors have lost it. They really need to re- examine their calling to know whether they are still on track on the Words of God. Are they now focusing on financial gains, soul winning or people gathering? Cos when you are called by God to win souls, financial gains and the latter will be the least of your worries. It's a life of sacrifices in fact ur main need becomes just to feed and cloth- the life of Jesus and the disciples must be your model. Just like King Solomon, most of these GOs and pastors have fallen prey to the vanities of life
Well said but I bet u 99% of the guys here will not support u. The truth is so far from them cos they believe u are just envious. Truth is so bold dt most pple detest it.
Chizillar1: What is the purpose of this thread? I laugh at all of you. What is making you think Chymall is going down? Your all ignorance and stupidity is shambolic. You talk about upgrade and loan repayment. Some members with team has completed their loan and now earning like previously on a higher package. I only have 40 points and hopefully this coming week, I clear and continue earning as before. Many of you have cashed out left and consistently for more than a year. Now, management has said, ok, let's do bigger business guys and kind enough to give you loan without any interest so we can enjoy longer term. Now they are scam. After they have survived you all through the Pandemic and yet no elementary of gratefulness, trust and patient. If you can't stand the heat, please leave the kitchen. Yes, leave the kitchen for those who understand company vision and long term goals. CHY mall is getting listed in Hong Kong Stock exchange this year and company has big plan for it's members. It get listed and traded just like Apple, Facebook, Amazon, pinduoduo etc and bigger investors will trade it's shares. Have you asked yourselves the purpose of the boutique points in your account you are accumulating? If you are still in doubt, head over to YouTube and type CHY CEO Ben Chah interviews. After watching and listening, you will think twice before posting rubbish about global firm in this noble forum.
You must be a fool or part of the scam to write/believe that trash you must wrote
This Osibanjo is very disgusting post=101630022]It's the first in sub-Saharan Africa and one of the three such cutting-edge facilities on the continent, with top prime global certifications for smart card manufacturing and it is based in Lagos, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, relished yesterday afternoon while touring SecureID company's premises, and affirmed Nigeria's extremely bright economic future, which he said cannot be aborted despite current challenges.
According to him, "the economic future of our nation is extremely bright. Yes, we have challenges today and they may look daunting. But let me assure you that these issues will be resolved. The march of this nation to its manifest destiny as Africa’s leading economic power will not be aborted. We are more than able to overcome."
An impressed Prof. Osinbajo said the Buhari Administration in "following the recommendation of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, has determined that manufacturing will be our main focus in bringing about dynamic growth, jobs and exports. This will mean retooling our business environment for greater competitiveness, especially with the take off of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement.
"We are rethinking our tax regimes, sorting out external and internal trade issues, getting our regulatory authorities; SON, NAFDAC, and even Customs, to see their roles more as business facilitators rather than policemen or revenue generators. Our environment must be friendly for local businesses first, foreign investments will follow enthusiastically."
Commenting on the efforts of the administration to position the country as a leading economic beacon on the continent, the VP also stated that the Buhari administration was ramping up efforts in improving the country’s infrastructure and digital space.
He said, “aside from the work we are doing with other infrastructure such as rail, roads and power we are committed to a plan of democratizing broad band connectivity. Our programme, which we have reiterated in our Economic Sustainability Plan, is broadband connectivity for all by 2023.
“The Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy launched the National Broadband Plan which is designed to deliver data download speeds across Nigeria of a minimum 25mbps in urban areas and 10mbps in rural areas, with effective coverage available to at least 90% of the population at affordable prices by the target date. Broadband connectivity is as important as electricity in the digital age unlike electricity we do not have to make several mistakes before getting it right."
While commending the efforts of the founder and Managing Director of SecureID, Mrs Kofo Akinkugbe, Prof. Osinbajo described SecureID facility as a place of history, innovation and creativity.
He said, “This world-class manufacturing facility is reputed to be the first certified smartcard manufacturing plant in sub-Saharan Africa, the only smart card production and personalization plant in West Africa and one of only six on the continent and one of only 80 in the world.
"The facility serves 21 countries across Africa and is fully certified by major commercial card companies - VISA, Verve and MasterCard. SecureID has shown that this country can be at the cutting edge of development in technology and digital enterprises. The world in which companies like SecureID operates, providing comprehensive end-to-end payment, identity management and digital security solutions is one that thrives on innovation.
Continuing, the VP said, "the company has in these few years of her existence provided notable innovative offerings to the financial services sector, telecommunications, government, education, healthcare and private enterprises. Equally remarkable is the fact that with this facility, the company can produce all the payment cards, SIM cards, loyalty cards and the various identity management cards (residency cards, voter registration cards, drivers’ license and national identity cards) required here in Nigeria, with capacity to spare.”
"Congratulations also for your successes in getting the certifications that will help to meet the demands of customers, such as Global System of Mobile Applications (GSMA), Visa International, MasterCard Incorporated, Verve, Card Quality Management (CQM), and ISO 9001/2015 for Smart Card Manufacturing and Personalization of credit and debit cards.
"In particular, we must also congratulate SecureID for earning the GSMA certificate last year; this is a world class security requirement for SIM card manufacturing and personalization. Your rapid expansion is also worthy of commendation, especially as you have added a number of subsidiaries, one of which is the digital arm of the business: SID Digital, while the other is involved in transport payment infrastructure. This has put the company in good stead to provide services ranging from identity management to tax collection, school management systems, health management systems, digital cards for the banks and, of course, e-ticketing for all forms of transportation, including road, rail and water."
Speaking earlier at the event, the founder of SecureID, Mrs. Kofo Akinkugbe, highlighted the significance of the Vice President's visit, noting that the VP has come to see some of the much-touted potential being realized. She added that SecureID was a good entrepreneurial story of an abiding faith in God and the nation, proving the viability of investing and staying in the course.
Akinkugbe commended the federal government for establishing institutions and agencies to support and encouraged start-ups, MSMEs and other enterprises that had offered assistance to the company.
In his remarks, the representative of the Bank of Industry, its Executive Director, Mr. Simon Araronu, said he was excited to partner with SecureID, being a pioneer of world-class status in the industry, as well as making world class products, while generating foreign exchange earnings and creating jobs.
Others who spoke at the event were the Corps Marshall, Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi; Deputy Managing Director, First Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Gbenga Shobo.
The representative of the Governor of Lagos State, His Lordship, the Anglican Bishop of Lagos State, Bishop Humphrey Olumakaiye, alongside other top government functionaries, also attended the event.
Accompanying the Vice President were the Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Zubairu Dada; Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Office of the Vice President, Mr. Ade Ipaye; and the Economic Adviser to the President in the Office of the Vice President, Ambassador. Dr. Adeyemi Dipeolu.

TheRareGem1: STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
* Nigeria’s plan is to reduce carbon emission by 20% by 2030 as FG commissions another university-based solar plant
*VP also chairs inaugural meeting of Cabinet Committee to review Draft National Transport Policy
With the commissioning of yet another solar hybrid power plant by the Federal Government in one of its universities, Nigeria’s energy transition plan to renewables is on course.
And this is in line with the globally endorsed Climate Change agenda and the Buhari administration’s effort to connect more communities to off-grid power and reliable energy sources, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Prof. Osinbajo stated this on Thursday in a message delivered virtually at the commissioning of a 1.12 MW Captive Solar Hybrid Power Plant at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi.
The project executed under the Energizing Education Programme (EEP), an initiative of the Federal Government, is aimed at providing 37 Federal Universities and 7 Teaching Hospitals with captive energy solutions that will ensure sustainable and reliable power for students and faculty.
According to the Vice President, “renewables are the fastest growing segment of energy today and will certainly be a key economic driver well into the future.
“Indeed, Nigeria intends to have 30% of its electricity supply from renewables by the year 2030. Our future workforce therefore need to be ready for this energy transition. The training centers constitute a critical additional benefit of this project.”
Continuing, he noted that “besides, this programme reaffirms the Federal Government’s commitment to global best practice as we transition to cleaner sources of energy in line with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
“These projects being implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency are strategic to fulfilling our commitments to the agreement as they strive to reduce Nigeria’s carbon footprint.
“The leveraging of renewable energy technology is in line with the Federal Government’s mandate and related activities. Nigeria’s plan to reduce carbon emission by 20% unconditionally and 45% with international support by 2030, aims to limit the damaging effect of climate change.”
Speaking on the benefits of the EEP, Prof. Osinbajo said “already, 22,000 students and faculties across the country are connected to completed projects in Kano, Ebonyi, Benue and of course, now in Bauchi. But apart from providing a reliable source of captive power for these institutions, each institution will have a renewable energy workshop and a training center to provide training for students on renewable energy.”
He said “the project also entails the installation of street lights and the electro fitting of existing ones for better illumination and provision of security on the campus and its environs. And there is provision for on-the-job training for 20 female students undergoing STEM courses in the beneficiary institutions. The training focuses on the design and installation of various components of the project.”
While commending the implementing agency, the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) for its hard work and resourcefulness in the implementation of the programme, Prof. Osinbajo charged the agency to redouble its effort in “rolling out the Energizing Education Programme with speed and quality across the country”.
In the same vein the Vice President acknowledged and commended what he described as “a strong display of partnership between the Federal Ministries of Power, Education and Environment, the National Universities Commission and the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission”, in making the project a reality.
It would be recalled that the Federal Government, under the EEP has inaugurated 3 solar off-grid hybrid power plants in 3 universities located in Kano, Ebonyi and Benue States.
In August 2019, through the Rural Electrification Agency, the Federal Government completed and inaugurated the first plant under the EEP, a 2.8MW first solar hybrid power plant at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo (FUNAI) in Ebonyi State. The project also included lighting of 7.5 KM of solar powered street lights in the university.
In September of the same year, the Buhari administration commissioned the largest off-grid solar hybrid power plant in Africa at Bayero University, Kano (BUK). The project which is providing students and faculty with constant electricity supply also includes provision of 11.41 kilometres of solar-powered street lights as well as a world-class renewable energy training centre.
In the same vein in December 2020, the Federal Government commissioned a 8.25M Solar Hybrid Power plant at Federal University of Agriculture (FUAM), Makurdi, Benue State. As a result, FUAM students and faculty now have access to electricity supply from the solar power plant. The project also includes installation of 13.23km solar powered streetlights for illumination and safety on the University campus.
All universities, under the programme are also provided with world-class renewable energy workshops and training centres.
In another development the Vice President presided over the inaugural meeting of the Cabinet Committee for the Review of the Draft National Transport Policy.
The terms of reference of the Committee include the determination of "which ministry or agency has statutory authority to administer tolls on Nigeria roads," and to determine the "appropriate roles of the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning and the Ministry of Works and Housing vis a vis the Ministry of Transportation in respect of the Road Fund proposed by the policy."
Committee members at the meeting held at the Presidential Villa include the Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi, Works and Housing Minister Babatunde Fashola and Budget and National Planning Minister of State Clem Agba who represented the Finance Minister.

Following the global band wagon. When you have not gotten it right for many decades with " dirty energy" Mctchewwww! Indeed coming from the office of the VP; talk talk do nothing VP
Danhoys: This is a welcomed development. Just yesterday, I saw a video of two adult males on Facebook, been beaten because they were caught having sex.
Why are Nigerians this backward? How is it your business what two consenting adults do with their body?
We seriously need to learn how to mind our business. Gays have come to stay, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a norm.
America you cast today was even more homophobic than Nigeria. If you think Nigeria wouldn't succumb, you're delusional.
It's just a matter of TIME.
All u twisted , unrepentant and perverted gay idiots always online to defend this abomination your days are numbered if u decide to insist on this abomination. Ur have become fools in your "wise" decision to stick to being gay. Seek repentance when u still can before the wrath of God comes. My bad! I know you don't believe in the Bible but the words will definitely come to pass. It's already happening- watch it!!
Fahdiga: Even though Trump goofed big time but how can you place a travel ban on someone who has not stepped and who is not planning to step foot in your "shit hole" till he leaves this earth. I'm sure MURIC just want to crack a joke with this their trashy write up
RuudVanNisteroy: Ebonyi state David Umahi 42 car convoy. And this is the man been hyped up for his prudent management of resources and who recently defected to APC to contest for the presidency in 2023. Useless man. Power intoxicating like he is going to be in the seat forever
Bar1941: It's going to be more than a easy ride for you come Nov. 3rd 2020 because you will be contesting against a foolish excentric morón whose stupidy and naiveness has affected the respect and honour being bestowed on America before his emergence. Every aspect of US economy is in comatose and a visionary diplomatic leadership is urgently needed to restore the lost glory of our dear beloved God's own country. I know some religious bigots in Nigeria still see the fat brain Trump as their saviour, but thankfully they can only vote on nairaland not elsewhere and going by their antecedents on this platform, whoever they supported here always lose at the real election. The true Americans will excercise their franchisé and retore the lost glory of the US. God bless Nigeria. God bless Africa. God bless USA. God bless the whole world.
this is not appropriate at this time. How efficient is Anambra on tests? How will they ensure compliance in markets,schools, churches and other gatherings.How protected are the borders? Are pple crossing the borders subject to tests or mere washing of hands? Has the index cases in the country flattened? Hmmm! These questions should be tackled before this bold decision
The fool that refuses to learn. Just remember the life you chose is a choice but the consequences are never a choice and you opinion will never change the Truth that what the writer wrote is the Truth. Hope you have a smooth ride
Olivegreen: You're missing the point!!! Being gay is not just about gay sex just as love is not just about sex. You just quote the Bible from beginning to end but you can't interprete it with wisdom. I don't care how you have sex with your wife or husband ( by the way are you male or female?) To me, as long as you both love each other, you both can use whatever positions or methods to give yourselves pleasure during sex.
Some people just like acting blind and intentionally ignore the main point of certain issues. Sex is not the main point of the lgbtq+ community. The main point is that love is love regardless of one's gender. We fall in love with other people's souls and not their body. My body was given to me so it should not define me but my soul is who I am therefore, it defines me. If my soul loves the soul of another female then how is that wrong? I love her personality and not just her body.
Please let us stop this unreasonable spread of hate and intolerance.
Nigeria my country where it's a taboo to ask for someone's source of wealth that cannot be explained. Where the youths will idolize you cos of ur large pocket and insults anybody that asks how come? This guy has been there for years as mentor to some pple, institutions etc but all na wash cos he is a big fraud. Shame cos we didn't ask how shame cos a responsible country took their time to crack his hidden source of Fame and wealth. And his friends and colleagues are busy deleing him from their social media accounts shame! Everybody is now saying tufiakwa! We still have lists of pple to be investigated that will not serve as false mentors to the youths. One person in mind E money...... If u feel me name urs
Mine is what is she doing with her ex after marriage not to talk of the comparison. Guy you have a baggage that needs offloading. No sincere respect in marriage leads to total failure. Reason ooo
Mine is what is she doing with her ex after marriage not to talk of the comparison. Guy you have a baggage that needs offloading. No sincere respect in marriage leads to total fairlure. Reason ooo
What of ladies going nude in music videos,hard labour for women in ebonyi state, child marriage in the north
postmann: The well-known aphorism, charity begins at home must have been lost to Chimamanda Adichie when she stepped into the media-aided limelight. Perhaps, finding the perks of notoriety too overwhelming, she reached out for more themes to keep basking in the spotlight of media hype and a new fame nowadays guaranteed to anyone who dare challenged the status quo even without scratching deep into exceptional brilliance.
After Adichie's notorious interview with former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, where she expressed her displeasure over Clinton's prioritisation of her marital status on her Twitter bio, comparing it to her husband's, the warning bells came off.
Are we looking at a sadistic, vengeful core feminist, whose major goal is to avenge male folks for their alleged "wrongs" or are we looking at an honest feminist who takes the plight of women into genuine consideration?
Did Chimamanda Adichie actually peered at Hillary Clinton's Twitter bio information and then searched out her husband's,Bill Clinton, bio for comparison?
For she clearly pointed out the difference between both Hilary Clinton and that of her husband insensitively and rudely informing Mrs Clinton of her husband's "crime". That was the red flag highlighting Adichie's lack of respect for matrimony and people's wishes.
I never cease to worry had Chimamanda Adichie discovered that Bill Clinton had placed "husband" in the front row in his Twitter bio, would she had picked offence at the choice of his wife, Hilary?
I doubt it. So we're, in essence, dealing with Chimamanda's preference for how the Clinton's should relate to one another.
Quite recently, Chimamanda rocked a media storm again (she just wanted a back-to-back front seat at the online media circus) when she again express her displeasure of male chivalry in holding doors for women. It took Dana Loesch, the National Riffle Association spokesperson to blast Adichie and expose her grand hypocrisy.
Loesch said, Adichie should worry more about the prevalence of female genital mutilation in Nigeria, which by the way is false as Loesch also showed her profound ignorance and lack of general knowledge. Female genital mutilation is not only outlawed in Nigeria for decades, it is convenient to say over 90% female child in Nigeria are born without genital mutilation.
Nevertheless, no one has pointed out to Chimamanda Adichie of the plight of women in her own tribe, in her own ethnicity and region, the South East of Nigeria where women are still forbidden to inherit ancestral lands of their fathers.
It is disheartening that Chimamanda will worry about how Hilary Clinton placed her marital status on her Twitter bio; that she will spare a thought about Western men opening doors for women when millions of women in Eastern Nigeria like her cannot inherit their father's homes in death even if they as females were the only child.
It is preposterous that none of Adichie's works have ever highlighted the plight of women in Eastern Nigeria where tradition forbids them from being rulers or breaking kola nut or attending "Umunna" meetings except when summoned for questioning or as witness.
In Enugu, Chimamanda's birth place, some communities traditionally forbids women from eating gizzard. In Eastern Nigeria, a woman is forbidden to interfere in the negotiations of her marriage between her family and that of her prospective husband's family, making her a bystander or spectator in the negotiations of her own marriage.
Chimamanda would have been partially forgiven if she was born and raised overseas but she had her birth and formative years in Nigeria and she chose to wear the cloak of hypocrisy in nice drapery, worrying and fretting over women of Western birth whose material fortunes are far greater and superior to those of her kith and kin she left behind.
Chimamanda wasn't a priest rejected by her own folks, she's just a preacher who never preached to her suffering people but pretend to be a crusader, taking the gospel to those who have the mastery of it, hence not needing it.
Sorry you are not a christianquote author=GoTV post=70735904]Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think majority of the biblical stories are fairy tales conjured by drunk white men to keep gullible people in check. The same people who proved to us that reproduction is possible when a dick and vagina collabo are the same idiots telling us about how one Mary got pregnant without sexual intercourse. How on earth would sane minds believe a woman was formed from a man's rib? Who gave birth to Adam or is the Christian God an hermaphrodite This is why i love Muslims and their straight forward teachings. No confusions whatsoever in their way of worship and beliefs. I'm sometimes ashamed to be a Christian that i contemplate joining Islam because Christianity is full of lies [/quote]
I know people like you. You are worse than gays/ Lesbians. Take dt diplomacy else where.Is pple like u that will watch issues escalate without making effort to quell iton the alter of mumu logic
Orodje: I am not an activist or gay, I am a straight fellow but I believe all people deserves the same right irrespective of their SEX. , If a man has a preference for women’s legs, or a different race should he be denied equal rights? I think most people need to mind their own business and focus on bettering their own lives instead of trying to ruin others just imagine 2 adult said they like each other what's your business with their life, why dont you stop your kids from being a rev father or a rev sister coz it's their life, live and let live.
So, I don’t care if you’re LGBTQ people, religious people, disabled people, people from a different culture or place. I’ll treat you all exactly the same. I look forwards to a time where everyone, governments, religions and rulers alike do the same thing, it’ll be a long time coming, but I live in hope
In short, everyone has a right to love whoever they want to, marry whoever they want to, and spend the rest of his/her life with whoever they want to
I knew it would come to this just a matter of when? How the world has degenerated with the ideals and practices of these perverts and gays and our leaders allow them to permeate our society and culture. What next bestials will start theirs and I bet you they will win cos our leaders refuse to nip these issues from the bud. Homosexuals,Lesbians,transexuals,swingers, abortionist has become normal and the world watches as it propagates ; termed human rights,progressives,liberalism hmm! Kids grow up amidst all these vices morality is becoming extinct still the world watches. You speak against it you are called a hater even the church shy away from rebuking these ills and devilish agenda. The man in the vatican refuses to rebuke these agenda as he has become diplomatic about it; selfish reasons known to him alone.the truth be told these pple needs both medical and spiritual treatment they are curses to the earth,the family culture is broken, divorces abound and has become normal,morality is no more protected by the so called human rights pple. Pervesion is now the order of this human era and we are still watching. Real Christians are persecuted for them not to speak out against these cursed acts. I pray that concerned should not only speak out but walk the talks to reverse these trend that has eaten deep into our world dt is gradually dying . Cos it very clear that our leaders and clerics are doing nothing about it. God help us all who want this craze to stop. Amen!
He is not a mumu! It's called PASSION. Every human should have what he would die for, It could be football, music, wrestling, politics, power, even pùssy!!! Just cuz ur passion is different doesn't mean u should judge him.
Viz.. Romeo died for Pùssy and Julie died for dìck yet they are celebrated globally. #Don't Judge
9japrof: Tithing is corruption in the church, tithing has ceased to exist, from the inception of Christianity, it has ceased
Tithing in the past was given to the levites tribe who never recieved landed inheritance among the twelve tribes of isreal. So Jehovah made provisions that they feed from every one tenth that was presented by the other tribes of Israel. They were priests by calling,(hereditary) and they never had any other job excepting helping in offering sacrifices on behalf of other Israelites in the temple.
What do we have now? Rouges in church robes, from the advent of Christianity, tithing ceased because the Hebrew nation(Judaism) lost God's favour and their worship no longer accepted, that is why today Christians no longer need to do animal sacrifices to appease God, so since no animal sacrifices, do you need the priest for the sacrifices?
Check out the Christian Greek Scriptures(New Testerment) there were no indications that tithing arrangement continued after the prior, during or after the death of Jesus Christ. Contributions were only made to take care of needs of the congregation or during a disaster. There were no indications that the apostles of those times profited from the gospel, Peter continued in his fishing business, Paul after dumping his law profession learnt tent making to support himself materially and so were many disciples. They never collected tithes or contributions from their congregation for their personal use or consumption
Let's assum Paul who was a missionary back then was like the stupid greedy money conscious rouge pastors of today, he would have lorded it over the congregation back then to contribute and buy him a luxury ship, he can always use to sail for his missionary journeys, but no he boarded merchant ships even under the harshest of weather and boarding conditions and there were no indications whatsoever that the congratulations paid for those trips.
All pastors who collect tithes and convert to personal gains are rogues, criminals any name you deserve to give them. What they practice is corrupt form of Christianity During Bible times, people whom God used for miracles never collected "kickbacks" for doing such miracles, neither did they profit from their spiritual work. Gehazi one of of Elishas servants who collected a gift gifted by Naaman that was rejected by Elisha previously was struck with leprosy. If Jesus Christ, his disciples and apostles of Bible times rejected gifts and self enrichment from the gospel, who the hell are these rogues to do otherwise.
Church contributions should be for maintenance of facilities and for disaster relieve and not into some useless pastors pockets for consumption. This confirms that their powers for operation are not even from God because when God gifts You a gift, maybe healing, prophesy etc and you misuse it, he takes back that power from you, but we see pastors all over the world eating fat while deceiving the congregation with false teachings of tithing. Pastorism now is a profession, where one goes for a course like it's tertiary education, qualifies opens a church while being lazy and the congregation keeps feeding him fat from their poor donations.
SIf Jesus were to visit physically churches of today, what will be his reaction today? When he sees the commercialism that goes in the church today, where all sorts of financial and economic messages are passed in the church while diluting the message about the kingdom of God and salvation( MMM was actively preached in the church by many pastors, Google the pictures are there in the internet). If Jesus was to be physically present in the church, what would be his reaction when he sees that different sections of church are being called out to carry their monetary donations in their hands and come out to recieve prayers according to the amounts one contributes( different prayer for 10 million, 5 million, 1 million, 10,000 and 100 naira donors). What would be Jesus reaction to find out that PoS machines are now being pass round the church to ensure that you must drop money, even if you claim that you don't have physical cash, no wonder quite a number of people save themselves the embarrassment of going to church if they are broke. Lemme tell you what Jesus would have done if he were physically present in any church and see the commercialism in the church, he would still do the same thing he did in the temple back then when he overturned the table of money exchangers, and claimed that the house of his father was for worship, while they have converted it as a den of robbers. What is now been done in churches are even worse now.
Now is time to take a step, a commercial church can never be from God, if it were, God would have taken back his power and support from them. Miracles that commercial churches do can never be from God, else when they recieve "kickbacks" for the healings they do, God would have withdrawn that ability to heal from them, meaning these churches that collect kickbacks and still continue healing collect their powers from a different source.
Now is the time to sit at home, do an honest research of the scriptures, do an honest and fervent prayer to God that you want to know the truth and serve him in a way and manner HE wants. He will surely answer your prayers
Please how does a full time Pastor feed and cloth his Family
It feels so cool despising the Bible,Christianity and God the Father and Creator. In fact advocating there is no God makes it so exciting lols I have been there. However when I couldn't and all world's greatest scientists,atheist cannot answer the origin of creation ranging from the Charles darwin,explosion of planets and galaxies that metamorphosed to creation of earth and mankind it begs ur stand. From ur theories of creation so far read,whats the original causality? The fact is there are things u just cannot comprehend unless you are a born gain a repentant Christian and i pray u come to that knowledge and stop advocating a belief dt will blow u no good.Shalom!
HOPEFULLANDLORD QUOTE An unsubstantiated, invisible, all knowing (knows the future), all powerful, supernatural creator judge, that refuses to reveal itself, leaves no evidence, and is petty enough to eternally punish those that were unconvinced ... is a pretty outrageous claim.
I'm going to need more than some old books that can best summed as "trust me" to buy into that claim. Why would you believe such a thing is a better question than why wouldn't you. Especially considering there's no shortage of old books, all with different stories, that all rely on "trust me" as their basis.
But whatever, each to their own I suppose.[/quote]
I am not really a fan of seeking consent cos it's a gift and meant to be a surprise my only concern is the presentation. Was the gift presented specifically to the daughter or both of them on the wedding day? It's wrong if presented specifically to the daughter and not both

This is why i love Muslims and their straight forward teachings. No confusions whatsoever in their way of worship and beliefs. I'm sometimes ashamed to be a Christian that i contemplate joining Islam because Christianity is full of lies
