frosbel: I work with my hands, while your pastors steal money from the needy to fulfil lives of luxury and opulence , that's the difference.

frosbel: [size=13pt]Apostle Paul said :[/size]


9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you - 1 Corinthians 4:9-14



[size=14pt]Yet most of the so called Nigeria MOG cannot lick Paul's shoes when it comes to greatness.[/size]

"As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making

nne3870: Gullible africans!
Raising money to build 'another' auditorium whereas more than 14million graduates are unemployed.
Why not organise a seminar to raise 1billion naira to empower the youths in his church?
May be after building the billion naira auditorium God himself will be so sad about the kind of money used to build it and God may never visit or recognise the road to the church.

Christians be wise and don't allow yourselves to be victims of this madness. If you want to sow seed, look for someone who really needs it and bless the soul, don't give it to ya pastor to build 'ANOTHER' auditorium.
My dear izzit the church's fault that there's no job?

If dey did wanna organize a seminar to raise 1 billion you'd rush here and still write " why would a church organize a seminar to deceive poor members to raise 1billion"..."

God so sad because he's house is expensive?? You don't Know God at all. Solomon gave a thousand burnt offering, was God so sad that he should have called all the beggars in is Israel n fed them instead?

Pastor Kun: To those who think they are contributing to build a house for God by dashing rccg their money, this passage may enlighten you.
Acts 17
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
Nobody said God lives in the temples or churches. Ok, you saying david was crazy wen he wanted to build God a house? If you don't build God a house where would the brethren meet according to heb 10v25? Did the early church had a meeting place? If yes, then what's your point?

The church is built no for God to live there, but for his brethren to meet, break bread (communion), encourage each other, teach, etc

alexleo: Can't they expand by way of building attachments to the current place of worship? This of course will be a lot cheaper than building the 3km stuff which I consider a waste. That place only gets over populated when they have convention. So why waste money to build something that its use will be required once or twice a year and probably a week for each use? Meanwhile the 2 Kings 6 that you quoted is talking about a dwelling place. There is difference beteeen a house where people live and a worship ground where you spend a few hours and leave. Again we are no more in the old testament where God was pleased with costly tabernacle and we never saw the apostles talk about building magnificient house for God as we saw in the case of king Solomon rather they talked about our body being the temple of God and the need to keep it holy, they talked about taking care of the body of christ which is the brethren. Laying so much emphasis on building of tabernacle went away with the old testament. The emphasis is now redirected to our body as the tempLe of God and the body of Christ which is the brethren. Nobody is saying that expansion is not good but how it is done is the issue here. Thanks Jo.

If they were just planning an expansion the outrage won't be this much rather they are planning to build a brand new auditorium at a ridiculous cost so that they can accommodate more people in their annual convention. A once a year unnecessary activityhuh
Sir with due respect, exercise civility, insults aint necessary. Meanwhile, this is what God said in Isaiah 54v2 NLT
"Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out
your home, and spare no expense!


If this doesn't satisfy your contentious post, I'd simply conclude that you chose to be ignorant. If God could say this about our house, then imagine much more for his house. No wonder Solomon gathered all those materials at "ridiculous cost" to build God's house.

He Speaks Through The Word! · Thursday, August
15th ·

Pastor Anita

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will
guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to come (John
16:13).

If you’re born again, the Spirit of God
lives in you, and He guides you by the
Word, in the way that you should go. The
Word of God is the voice of God, and
that’s your surest-guide in life. Getting
yourself acquainted with the Word is the
way to know the counsel of the Spirit.
Jesus said in John 10:27, "My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me."

In John 14:16 (AMP), He made another emphatic
statement about the ministry of the Holy Spirit in
leading and guiding you in life: "And I will ask the Father,
and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor,
Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and
Standby), that He may remain with you forever." The
Holy Spirit lives in you and with you; He counsels you
from within, in line with God’s Word. No other
personality in this life can lead you into success, victory
and rest as the Holy Spirit would. He’ll guide you to
make accurate decisions, go to the right places at the
right time, and do the right things the first time, for
God’s glory.

Recognize the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit in
your life. Don’t just talk to Him; learn to listen to Him as
well; He’s always talking to your spirit. Through the
Word, He guides and leads you from glory to glory. He
cares about everything you do; He takes interest even in
the minutest detail about your life. It’s His pleasure to
successfully guide you through all your endeavours from
day to day.

Many have made grievous mistakes in their lives for not
listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. It’s not hard at
all to follow His leading, because His counsel and
guidance are always in sync with the Word. Your life will
be the expression of God’s glory, beauty, wisdom, and
grace as you yield to Him by following His Word.

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your glory in my life.
Thank you for beautifying me with your grace and
filling me with your wisdom; I function excellently
today, through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives
in me and guides me from within, piloting me from
glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

frosbel: where 2 or 3 are gathered, Jesus is present.

Following the model of the early church , there is no need for bigger buildings, we need people with big hearts for the cause of Christ.
Sir inasmuch as I get your angle of things, let me point out that if there's no need for bigger buildings, where would you want the brethren to meet as heb 10v25 say? I really need an answer. Because in the early church, they met in a place, no?


Lemme shed a little light on the term church/temple according to the New Testament Definition of the Church

The word "church" as rendered in the New Testament
comes from the Greek term ekklesia which is formed
from two Greek words meaning "an assembly" and "to
call out" or "called out ones." In summary, the New
Testament church is a body of believers who have been
called out from the world by God to live as his people
under the authority of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23).
This group of believers or "the body of Christ" began in Acts 2 on the Day of Pentecost through the work of the Holy Spirit and will continue to be formed until the day of the rapture of the church.

Becoming a Member of the Church

A person becomes "a member" of the church simply by
exercising faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The Church Local Versus the Church Universal

The local church is defined as a local assembly of
believers or a congregation that meets together
physically for worship, fellowship, teaching, prayer and
encouragement in the faith (Hebrews 10:25). At the
local church level, we are able to live in relationship with other believers—we break bread together ( Communion), pray for each other, disciple, and strengthen one another. At the same time, all believers are members of the universal church. The universal church is made up of every single person who has exercised faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, including members of every local church body throughout the earth (1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:22-23).

So sir, I think this refutes your point below, God does need physical temples/local churches, not to live there but for the gathering of the saints, see reasons above (heb 10v25)

frosbel: God dwells in the midst of his people, he needs no physical temples any more.
Now, let's proceed

Same in this instance, building a bigger auditorium when your people are starving , homeless and have gigantic needs is SIN.
Lemme address this issue of the "poor", "starving" etc. First of all, a nation of Christian believers are not the poor trying to be rich, they are the rich discovering their inheritance in Christ. In as much as you try to sugar coat it, the prosperity of the brethren is in their pastor/teacher/apostle/bishop etc according to 2 chronicles 20v20 King James Bible

20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth
into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth,
Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and
ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

You cannot prosper above your pastor. If your pastor hasn't prospered/prospered enough, you can't, so far he's the one teaching you, except you do stuffs outside God's word. So, if you believe God, you are established in the faith, but then, that's not enough for the good life here on earth (that's why suffering here on earth is a choice even when you believe God. Note that believing/agreeing the Word and confessing/doing the word are two different things. Believing God aint enough, because the bible says even the devil believes and tremble. You believe God AND speak what he spoke abt you and/or concerning anything. Anyways dats a topic for another day) but when you believe in your pastor/teacher/apostle (who God gave you as a gift in the first place so that you can do the work of the ministry -eph 4v7-11) IN THE LORD, you shall prosper. Now, where I'm driving at is dat if your pastor has prospered, and you follow his instructions in the Lord, you MUST
prosper. Heb 6v12 New International Version says

12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

God never spoke to Lot, but Lot prospered because he followed Abraham's instructions (you knw aw he ended because he separated from abraham). So, if a church stil have starving people, poor, etc it's because they (the said members) are yet to apply the teachings of the Pastor (assuming the pastor through faith and patience has inherit that which was promised, cos for me, my pastor has). If they do believe him and what he says IN THE LORD, they'd move up. However,Jesus
said we'd always have the poor with us (those who'd never wanna learn the Gospel of Jesus Christ through their pastor, even though they believe in God. (If you wanna ask "must one have a pastor/rev/bishop/etc", my answer is YES, dats anoda day's topic)). You see!..if Pst Adeboye wanna build an auditorium for the glory of God, he should, and he made that announcement that way, because he knows he's through the Gospel of Jesus, prospered his brethren. He knows God has given him ALL he needs to erect dat structure, and that those materials are in his brethren, irrespective of how you think it.

Same in this instance, building a bigger auditorium when your people are starving , homeless and have gigantic needs is SIN.
What makes it a sin? Your assertions? Show me where the bible upheld your statement. Sir, its important you note, on that day, God's gonna judge by his word, not by your assumptions.


Even worse , in the midst of all these mega needs the pastor and his family live like kings in mansions, drive exotic cars and eat in 5 star restaurants, literally feeding off the money from these poor people.
I've corrected the above in bold, but lemme tell you. You/We CANNOT prosper a MOG . Your tithe and offerings don't enter his pocket (I'm speaking of those I know of Adeboye, Oyedepo, Onyakhilome, Ibiyome, T.B Joshua etc). As for seeds, he through the Word, prospers you, then when you are led by the spirit, you sow seed(s) into his life, to tap into the annointing upon his life (Jesus collected seeds o, if you need scriptures lemme know). Now, are you saying that these men "Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths
of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens."(Heb 11v33-34), are you saying its tithe and offerings from members who you called poor, that prospered them? Where were you when they were praying? You were playing. When they were fasting, you were eating, when they were studying, you were on NL typing away, when they were on the streets winning souls to christ, where were you? Now, God's elevated and prospered them as he said in Josuha 1v 7-8, and you dare say they live off the 'poor' members? If thieves and the heathen can drive exotic cars, jets, eat like kings...pls explain to me why God's generals shouldn't.


This is called WICKEDNESS and an evil thing.
According to your sensory perceptions. Thank God I know the bible.

A Call To "Walk On Water" · Wednesday, August
14th

Pastor Chris

So when they had rowed about five and twenty or
thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea,
and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid
(John 6:19).

The Christian life is a call to "walk on the
water"; in other words, it’s a supernatural
life of endless possibilities, where you
recognize no obstacles or limitations. It’s a
life of advancement from glory to glory.
Imagine that God would ask Moses to tell
the children of Israel to "Go forward,"
despite being sandwiched in a precipice: the Red Sea in
front of them, and the hostile Egyptian army on their
trail. As far as God was concerned, the Sea wasn’t a
factor to them progressing to the Promised Land.
Eventually, God instructed Moses to stretch his hand
over the water and the Red Sea parted for the children
of Israel to walk through on dry ground.

In a similar account, Joshua, Moses’ successor, had to
pass through the River Jordan along with the children of
Israel. To surmount the obstacle posed by the river,
God instructed Joshua to tell the priests bearing the
ark of the Lord to step in the water ahead of the
others. The Bible lets us know that as soon as the
priests stepped in the water, the waters parted for
Joshua and the children of Israel to go through on dry
ground (Joshua 3:17).

Many years later, the Prophet Elijah and his servant
Elisha came to the same Jordan. This time, the prophet
simply cast his mantle on the water, and the river split
open for him and Elisha to go through. Afterwards,
Elisha, having witnessed the translation of Elijah, had to
go back through the same Jordan. The Bible says, "… he
took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote
the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah?
and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted
hither and thither: and Elisha went over" (2 Kings 2:14);
remarkable indeed!

Then came the Lord Jesus: On a certain night, He went
up the mountain to pray, and when He was done, His
disciples had already sailed out into the sea, and all the
boats were gone. He didn’t do as Moses, Joshua, Elijah
or Elisha did; He had a different mind-set! He refused
to recognize the water and walked right on top of it.
Extraordinary!

This is the Jesus whose icons we are. We have the same
life and nature with Him; as He is, so are we in this
world. He’s blazed the trail for us, showing us the more
excellent way to deal with the challenges of life. You
don’t need to "command the Red Sea" to open up; you
don’t need to "command the Jordan" to split wide open!
Like Jesus, refuse to recognize their presence, and
walk through: walk on the water! That’s the way out of
your troubles and adversities! Refuse to recognize
obstacles; walk on them, for they’re bread for you.

Confession
I’m what God says I am; I’m a member of His body,
of His flesh and of His bones; invigorated by divinity!
Greater is He that is in me, than he that’s in the
world! I’m on an upward and forward journey of
progress and success; positioned for glory and
excellence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Living Beyond The Senses · Tuesday, August 13th ·

Pastor Chris

For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Romans 9:8 says, "...They which are the
children of the flesh, these are not the
children of God...." The children of the
flesh are those who are ruled by their
senses. Instead of walking by faith, they
walk by sensory perceptions; regulated in
life only by that which they can physically
see, hear, touch, taste, or smell. However, Christianity is
a walk of faith; it’s life beyond the senses.

God is a Spirit; and spiritual realities can’t be perceived
with human senses. This is the reason the natural man
can’t comprehend the things of the Spirit; they’re
foolishness to him (1 Corinthians 2:14). He can only
relate to what his physical senses perceive; like those
who say, "Seeing is believing." That’s the language of the
children of the flesh; and the Bible says, "…they that
are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:cool.
Read the Apostle Paul’s submission in 2 Corinthians 5:7
AMP: "For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and
conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting
man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust
and holy fervour; thus we walk] not by sight or
appearance." The teachings of the Lord Jesus on the
subject of faith were unequivocal; He didn’t say "seeing
is believing," rather, He always said, "If you believe, you
would see…." That was His response to Martha’s
unbelief in John 11:40; He said, "…if thou wouldest
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"

Notice the order: you believe to see; that’s faith—
calling real that which the physical senses can’t perceive.
Hebrews 11:1AMP says, "NOW FAITH is the assurance
(the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we]
hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and
the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real
fact what is not revealed to the senses]." Hebrew 11:6
then tells us that without faith it’s impossible to please
God. This means you can’t please God until you’ve learnt
to apprehend and call real, things that your physical
senses can’t perceive, but are revealed in God’s Word.

Walking in the faith-realm means you take God’s Word
as final authority, and live accordingly, irrespective of
physical or sensory pieces of evidence. Thus, it makes no
difference how you "feel," what you "hear" or "see";
live beyond the senses; keep declaring the Word of
faith.

Confession
I declare that irrespective of what I perceive with
my physical senses, I’m living in the spiritual realities
of our divine kingdom. I experience divine health,
absolute prosperity, unending success, abundant joy
and indescribable peace, today and always, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

drexx: See this fool. Someone lost money and you are bringing your very shallow religious reasoning here. What if this guy is a Muslim? Must you bring religion to every thing in your life. You didn't even ask him which religion he belongs to 1st. You just start accusing him of dodging tithe. After they will say Christians are not extremists. This is extremism at its height. My mum that pays tithes and extra and they still robbed her, how can you explain that with your tithe ideology.............. Op sorry shit happens. My elder brother always tells me that in every situation, there is a way out. Just sit down and reason and find that way
The insult wasn't necessary sir. I see you are your mum's tithe manager, well sir, the truth is truth, even if no one's doing it, and a lie is a lie even if everyone's doing it...

If he's a muslim, den he's outta d jurisdiction of the bible, but you should ask yourself "do muslims give tithes?" Before you wrote wot you did. Google whether muslims give tithes, because from what I know, the fixed tithe in Islam has been established as two- and-a-half per cent but, whereas the Old Testament tithe of ten per cent was calculated simply in terms of a man's income, zakaah is determined chiefly as a surcharge or a man's wealth and possessions. The other form of charity in Islam, of a less obligatory nature, is known as sadaqah, a voluntary offering indicating the sincerity of a man's disposition towards generosity (Surah 2.264).

Sir, try civility at all times, you actually didn't have to spew insult at any instance. Christians are not extremist and I don't see how tithing is extremism in its height. Do you care to clarify further?

okpara ugo: This your advice sef. So he lost his life savings because he didnt pay his tithe? Am not in any position to judge you or him.

But next time, weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice.
Sir he asked for an advice, not for weep team or rejoice team. If he had written, "pls weep for me" or "rejoice with me", then, you'd have had a point.

Keep Making Progress · Monday, August 12th ·

Pastor Anita

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the
same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and
grew until he became very great (Genesis 26:12-13).

Our opening scripture gives us a good
glimpse as to the kind of life God has
ordained for us: one of consistent
progress. Our path in life is as the shining
light that shines brighter and brighter unto
the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). This
parallels what Apostle John describes in
John 1:16, talking about the life of glory and success
that we have in Christ: "And of his fullness have all we
received, and grace for grace."

When it says, "grace for grace" it actually means
success heaped upon success; glory upon glory: a life of
ever-increasing splendour. This is the life that we have in
Him; therefore, always see increase. Aspire for more;
dare to dream bigger. See yourself birthing new ideas
and charting new frontiers; see yourself fruitful and
productive in the Kingdom. Some people function at a
certain level of productivity and wouldn’t aspire for
more until they get tired of that present level. You don’t
have to wait until you’re tired; keep advancing; keep
making progress.

There’re yet more "lands to conquer." Recall that at
Shiloh, Joshua challenged the children of Israel saying,
"For how long will you wait here, while there’s still so
much land for you to possess?" (Joshua 18:3). See and
apprehend your next levels of success, increase, victory
and promotion.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the life of increase,
dominion, and power that I have in Christ Jesus. My
understanding is enlightened today, to comprehend
and apprehend my next level of glory, progress, and
prosperity; I’m waxing great, making progress and
growing exceedingly in divine wisdom, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

2:9; Revelation 4:1

...Sir, lemme ask you a candid question..

"When last did you pay your tithe?"

If you do pay tithe, I'll assume they were paid correctly and completely. Now, when last did you pay em?

If you haven't been paying, my advice for you is start paying..God promised to rebuke the devourer for your sake when you tithe. Obviously, if you don't give 10% of it to him, the devourer would come for the whole of it, either by robbery, fraudsters, unnecessary bills to treat illness, police mata, etc

And as for the stolen 90k...this is my advice

Philippians 3:13
New Living Translation (NLT)
13 ...but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead

God Bless You
