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.Jesus left carpentery wen he started his ministry Luke Mattew, peter, james and john etc all left their jobs....oya ask me aw they fed! Remember Judas was holding the treasury (money) bag...also ask me whose monies was in that bag, also ask me how they got the monies since they left their jobs. God shd help you fast I pray |
nijanigga: Show me one Nigerian billionaire in Nigeria today and I will show you a pen robber, contracts inflator.Meaning God has no billionaire in Nigeria? |
frosbel: [size=13pt]Apostle Paul said :[/size]And you left out verse 16 16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. Sheer hypocrisy. Don't ever say we worship MOG...like I said, we imitate/copy/follow them as heb 6v12 asked us to. Go study what he said in 2corinth 6v10 King James Bible "As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things." Question is why you still questioning whr the monies will come from? |
bknight: Can pastors adeboye, oyakhilome, ashimolowo, adeyemi etc carry handheld public address system and go with legs preaching under d rain and sun on d streets in some remote village somewhere?If you thinj those men didn't do all this, you are a joker. Did you think they all started this big? |
nne3870: Gullible africans!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? How many seeds have you sown, and where? You amaze me sha! |
Afam4eva: I never said there's anything wrong with that. I'm only countering someone's need to defend such an action with the bible.And you thinking you did a nice job? You must be smiling in satisfaction |
nijanigga: It's our-Nigerian stolen money. Directly or indirectly.Meaning God doesn't have people he did prosper? |
frosbel: As he imitated Christ, only 0.001% of Nigerian believers imitate Christ.I see you are God's lawyer |
chukwudi44: 10 million ko 10 trillion ni.Oga google it....be smart na |
frosbel: We imitate Christ not MOG who wine and dine with corrupt politicians who in turn enact wicked laws that impoverish and enslave the people.Go and read heb 6v12 and see whether the writer mentioned christ there. |
Afam4eva: Not when you have branches all over Lagos and Nigeria.Like seriously?? Done with the thread...*unfollows thread |
frosbel: ^ ^We don't worship them, we imitate them. Heb 6v 12 |
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.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 |
frosbel: Why did you miss out the part which says , "they deceive people for money " ?So your beef is that "he's deceiving people for money"? My question now is, are you better thinking/living than those who'd give in their hundrends, thousands, millions and billions? |
Pastor Kun: The so called word preached there is a twisted and false gospel and the miracls are always unverifiable.State your criteria that terms a miracle as authentic or not. You would av questioned Jesus' miracles as unverified too. I'm certain you've never seen a miracle Ie lame walk and blind see...if you've not seen, that doesn't mean they aint real or verifiable Anyways, Jesus said this about your likes in Mark 7v13 NKJV 13 "making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.” |
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.Izzit your money? He called for people to bring monies, he didn't call your name, if you don't wanna give, no wahala...what then is your beef? |
frosbel: That which is greatly admired in the sight of MEN is an abomination to God.Jude 1v 10-11 NLT 10 But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction. 11 What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion. Na bible talk am..you are warned, if you never knew, you know now |
frosbel: If you want to sow 1 billion see my personal secretary , if you want to sow 100 million see my personal secretary, anything less is acceptable but you cannot see my personal secretaryAnd you are wiser than Adeboye's over 10million brethren world wide..or his over 1million brethren on that camp ground. Oya clap for yourself, your own holyspirit is obviously super than Adeboye's I guess. I'm a Nigerian Christian, and I'm not clueless. And BTW, did Adeboye ask you to see his secretary? If yes, I stil don't understand your beef..if no, I still don't understand your beef. |
idnoble135: ^Lol...If he's actually a pastor..God help his brethren. I never took him as a pastor since early last year, going by his posts as at early last year. I think the moniker is just a name he chose. @pastor Kun...am not beefing you o! Lol |
Pastor Kun: OlodoSir 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. And edify me on why you said it's a once a year unnecessary activity ? Are you God? Or his protocol officer? |
Joagbaje: Gombs thanks a lot. Thanks for posting it very early.You are most welcome sir! |
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. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 John 2:27; John 16:13-15 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Romans 16:1-27, Psalms 102-103 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 16:13-18, Ruth 3-4 |
frosbel: where 2 or 3 are gathered, Jesus is present.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. |
...God bless you sir as you take God's divine presence to the nations of the world. Thank you for making the gospel of Jesus Christ spread rapidly in your sphere of contact via all media. #Glory |
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.

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: .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.

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 wayThe 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.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.

xykms101: Here they come, religious bigot.Sir, everyone has been airing their opinion, I did mine...how's dat your problem? Y d insult? Y did verbal excreta? |
...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 |
Creatrixity: What venom!Yeah...Christians won't spill such, read my signature for more details...if he had God's love in his heart, such won't spill. I get his standpoint, but we shd correct and counsel in love..Jesus wouldn't av written wot he wrote. |

trust you to come out and defend all the wrong practises going on in churches. 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 activity
