kevoh: Freeze is equally a sheeple who believes that some Jewish Nazarene in far away Israel died for him. Freeze also believes in talking snakes, talking donkeys of the Bible and eating the flesh and blood of the dead Jewish Nazarene via Holy Communion. I am not a fan but for now he is serving a good purpose I can not complain.
hglmkope: In his own little way, he has contributed significantly to the educational sector in Nigeria. He has a choice, either he keeps amassing wealth (gotten from tithe as some people think) for himself and his family members, or build schools that does not only give quality education but also provides employment for thousands of people. Covenant University alone has provided employment for over a thousand people, not to talk of the other university, secondary and primary school his Church owns. He said at a time that over 18000 people are on the church's pay roll.
without the Universities, we will have over 1500 students that each of the University admits every year competing with the other students for the limited Federal and State Universities. We will also have more unemployed individuals adding to the already burdened unemployment rate in Nigeria.
He may have his own flaws but I think he is trying. Remember that no single person can help everyone or solve everyone's/nation's problem. Even as small as the family (both nuclear and extended) is, you will realize that you cannot help every one. The numerous problem in Nigeria is way too much for only one person to carry. Even the government cannot do it alone not to talk of an individual. If everyone can contribute significantly to the nation advancement, I think this country will be a better place.
Well you made sense and even though 90% of his church members cannot afford to send their kids to convenant university it is a good thing that he built a school that offers quality education(by Nigerian standards) and jobs for a lot of other people
Themandator: He dresses well because he regularly updates his intellectual resource and it shows in his result. When he speaks , it makes headlines. That it what it means to dress well your destiny and not fake it with clothes that only covers your flesh
What headlines?
What Nigerian problem has your pastor solved. I am waiting
Ever since Daddy Freeze of Cool Fm started his #freethesheeple movement it has caused a lot of controversy and even "men of god" have decided to speak up, albeit without making any valid points of rebuttals to his arguments, and defend the reason why they should keep accepting tithes and why it does not amount to exploitation of their gullible congregation.
And this has got me thinking. Let us assume for some reason the majority of Nigerian Christians decide to stop paying tithes, offerings and other donations to the church, will Nigerian Pentecostal Christianity die off?
I ask this because from where I stand these pastorpreneurs are essentially in the business of miracles solely for the power and money that comes with the business.
If these churches no longer receive tithes and offerings will pastors have no reason to come to the "office" anymore since there will be no more "source of income"?
Will pastors be able to live the life of Jesus as depicted in the bible? We know nothing of Jesus owning any property. He didn't seem to have a house, good clothes, jewelry and even the donkey he rode was borrowed and returned back to the owner but still he preached and performed signs and miracles for people even to the extent of dying on the cross for the sins of the people of the world.
According to the bible that is
So what do you think?
Are we getting close to the end of the tithe and offering business?
Can the Nigerian Pentecostal for of Christianity survive without tithes and offering?
MrHenshaw: Your definition for greatness is it in the exhibition of outward appearance. Your submission is senseless and the same you condemns Chris Oyakilome for exotic lifestyle from cash from tithe and offering.

the24lukpost: He likewise taunted General Administrator of Recovered Christian Church of God, Minister Enoch Adeboye, for saying RCCG will have whatever number branches as could be expected under the circumstances.
That kind money, you go dey pay am, dey vex inside
Speak for yourself. The buffet cost N8,000 per person and we also bought cake at Baker's world, chips and turkey to celebrate her birthday. Minus shayo
olaric: That I don't drink doesn't give me the right to call others who drink fools. Just because you don't tithe doesn't make others who tithe fools. What you did by giving to the needy is called "Choice" and right to do whatsoever pleases you with your money is your prerogative.
You and every other anti-tithe people out there are acting like the devil who's always angry when God is glorified.
You do not have any point
Drinking is not a foolish act in itself but if someone drinks to stupor every day, is lazy, refuses to work or take care of his family then you have every right to call him a fool just as anyone who is constantly scammed of his earnings by a con artist disguising as a man of "god" deserves to be called a fool for his stupidity. Especially when this fool decides to defend his stupidity
