No offence, Newmi ,I believe there is a higher revelation than trying to copy Jesus, which is to recognise the life we have in him and his life in us, and yield to the power of that life, intuitively we begin to function as christ without trying to ask "what will Jesus do in this situation"

@frosbel,
I asked a question yesterday, what scripture back the claim that certain individuals were exempted from tithing? Ir are you just using logic.

And also how did you do the YouTube video, did you do screen shot or something. The videos I tried to post only come out in links.
Christianity EtcRe: The Tithe Is Unlawful - Nigerian Follow Follow Christians Will Believe Anything by Joagbaje(m): 1:03am On Jan 16, 2011
@frosbel,
I love the way you presented your case it's wonderful , and I feel your friends here should learn from that we  don't need to throw insults to communicate . Even though I don't agree with everything I want to save a copy for further studies.

I don't see tithe as a scam, because for me it's the least of my giving, I  presently don't even give tithe (10%) again because it's just so small. I give 20% or more . It's personal conviction and I know several people who do far more 30% upward.
I don't think a man who wants to go to heaven will be lying to people to deceive them and he expect God to recieve him in heaven. There are several issues that the body of christ may not agree for the now, but we ought to accept each other and respect their conviction until Gods greater light will make the change . It is wrong to scare people to tithe as a manipulation, God is not cursing anybody for not tithing. For me tithing has it's benefit , if you do it , you partake of it, if you don't, you miss the benefit.

Is it not 'common sense' that if God deletes names, He must have written them in the first instance? You say you've not found A SCRIPTURE where God writes names. You just quoted one! The Exodus 32 passage says 'thy book which THOU HAST WRITTEN'.
 BTW, what makes God to delete names? If the person repents again afterward, does the name get written again?
What I was saying was that God is not writing fresh names, names had been written already from the foundation of the world. God can only delete names now. We don't pray for him to write our names. He didn't promise to write our names , he only promise he will not delete certain peoples names

Revelation 3:5
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 


God doesn't delete and write again. A man's name is not deleted just because he sinned . His name can only be deleted because he has lost it forever. The bible talks about sin unto death and sin not unto death.

1 John 5:16-17
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin[ which is] not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 


The sin unto death is apostasy . There is no more remission or forgiveness  for such

Hebrews 6:4-6
4 For[ it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put[ him] to an open shame. 


My point was in response to the fact that the apostles were not born again even though their names were written . They didn't get born again until jesus was raised from the dead and breath the holy spirit to them. Jesus was the first to be born again . Judas was among the people Jesus mentioned who's name were written , but being written is not a guarantee for salvation. We still have our choices to make. Judas still had his name deleted in the end! Even though it was written

noetic16:
your explanation is simply ridiculous. oyaks could not have been ignorant of the charges, I am familiar with the structural set up of CE and so I know what I am talking about. Since u agree that there was other means to solve the "problem" other than charging fees . . . .is it then out of place to conclude that oyaks worships money and greed. . . . that explains why money is for him the solution to everything, including the sale of the gospel.
What of Christian conferences and seminars that people pay for to register? 

. there have been substantiated reports of the stage managed falsehood of oyaks "miracles" which cannot be denied.
It is denied bros, what's your pfroof, were you paid to stage manage a miracle? Or you are quoting from some article by another man. I can give you some miracles to investigate. Up to house a dress and medical records. If you care.  

and where in the scriptures did Jesus ask anyone to pay (sow a seed) for a miracle?
I dont know what you're talking about,who's talking about seed for a miracle here. if it's paying for a miracle, it is wrong but if it's to sow seed, well it depends ,it's a spiritual thing. Seed attracts grace. A woman sowed to Elisha and he prophesied and she had a son.  Jesus would not go to the gentiles but a centurion needed Jesus to heal his servant. Jesus would not have gone. But when he was told that the man build a synagogue for worship. He went.

Luke 7:5-6
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. 6 Then Jesus went with them. . . . 


and where did he get this gospel from? Jesus? Paul? or Peter? which of the apostles taught about prosperity?
What do you understand by prosperity dude?  It's a state of completeness spiritually , physically and materially , having dominion over every oppression of darkness. 

Yes he got it from Jesus and Paul

3 John 1:2
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and[ that your body] may keep well, even as[ I know] your soul keeps well and prospers

 2 Corinthians 8:9
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 


really? so u agree with oyaks that you (joagbaje) is now the WORD of God
Of course I am Gods word. Men are reading me through my life. I have become one with christ. The word became Jesus, the word became me. I am one with christ. He is son of God , I am also, he is light of the world so am I. He is christ so am I. He has eternal life so do do i . He has divine nature , so do I. 

1 John 4:17
17 . . . .because as he is, so are we in this world. 

2 Corinthians 3:2
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

 
and as such u dont need Jesus anymore? right?
He never said we dont need jesus .The second part is your own lie and folly. Since you guys take pleasure in manipulation just like the devil. Claiming the man of God say what he never said. I need Jesus and he needs me! 

the depth at which u go to subscribe to his blasphemous stupidity is annoying.2. No one accused Paul of blasphemy.
Acts 24:14
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, 


how exactly did u manage to put Paul, Jesus and oyaks in the same category?  huh
Because they are one!
 
u are either blind to reality or completely dishonest. the news magazine published the case of N17m stolen from sheraton hotels for oyaks, that excludes the recently published one of a yahoo yahoo kingpin who defrauded others to propagate his demi-god called oyaks.
17 million or 30 million? Whatever. But You are lying in your teeth and you know. How would you say he stole for him. Did pastor chris encourage such criminality? He has constantly taught against such. He teaches that riches come with righteousness.  Besides pastor chris doesn't even know the guy. He attended one of the satellite churches. You guys like baaaad news! And lies!

I worshipped with CEC whilst at ogbomoso some 8 years ago . . . . I still have loads of friends at CEC.
And you're like this? It's a pity. . I remember a scripture that says "Ever learning but never able to, " pls finish it.  

.but does is appearance not suggest that he is too carnally minded
Ok how should he dress, what make of suit should he wear? What does your own pastor wear? Maybe we learn from you guys.

I did not speak against Christ but against the FASLE prophet called oyaks.
What makes him false? Use scriptural definition pls.

oyaks is a criminal false prophet spoken of in matt 24. . . .decieving the flock and selling what he was supposed to have received freely.
Mat 24 is not written concerning the church dude but the Jews in their tribulation. It's talking about tribulation, when the rapture must have taken place and chris oyakhilome will be recieving crown in heaven for leading nations to the lord. And for a job well done. Where will you be?
Christianity EtcRe: When Did The Apostles Become Born Again? by Joagbaje(m): 6:54pm On Jan 15, 2011
When I said that  Names being written in the book does not guarantee salvation. It means that a name being there is subject to change. God deletes names.  I've not found a scripture where God is writing manes of people in the book but rather we have several scriptures that reveal God deleting names from the book . Because the name were all there.

Exodus 32:32-33
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 


From the dialog above and other scriptures, names are not being written . It is evident rather that names already were written from the foundation of the world. Everything about our lives , purpose, callings ,etc were all written in heaven in the book of life. If a man backslides and fall out of faith. His name will be blotted out. If a man dies without being saved , his name will be blotted out. If a man gets saved and remain saved , his name will remains.

Revelation 3:5
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 

Psalms 69:28
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. 


The only exception are the people who are servants of the beast.

Why don't you address the issues raised before arrogantly expressing your delusions here and calling someone a satanist just becos he is not stu.pid enough to fall for the fraudulent tithing scam.
It is wrong for you to call tithing a scam. If you don't believe in it, it's your own problem but you should not insult the convictions of others.

OLAADEGBU:
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.  And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. -- Luke 10:17-20

The fact that their names were written in heaven shows that they had the greatest miracle of everlasting salvation of their souls which is greater than the temporary and spectacular victory over demons and this was before Jesus' death and resurrection.
When was their names written in heaven ? The writing of names in the book of life is no guarattee for salvation. The truth is . Everybody's name is written in heaven from birth. But when a man dies without recieving christ , his name will be blotted out. I have heard people when leading sinners to christ say things such as " write my name in the book of life" its one of the errors based on ignorance. God does not write names in the book. God only delete names! When a man falls out of faith or a man dies without christ, his name will be deleted.

Now concerning the salvation of the apostles. Nobody got born again until Jesus was raised from the dead. They only got born again when Jesus ministered the spirit to them after resurrection.

7. Others exempt from the tithing law included the hired hands, fishermen, miners, lumber workers, construction workers, soldiers, weavers, potters, manufacturers, merchants, government workers, and priests. In short, all who were not farmers were exempt.
You made some important points , i will loke to go through thoroughly. But Can I have a scripture that shows an exeption of these people you mentioned.
Christianity EtcRe: My Fear For Pentecostalism. . .will She Last? by Joagbaje(m): 11:40am On Jan 15, 2011
Why would a supposed MOG be "prophesying" about the little matter of food and drink and raiment and the possessions of this world?
The MOG is still funtioning by scrptures. Why should simple comfort be carnal to us. How do you feel when you see a family and baby and pregnancy on okada under the rain.   You dont know the concern and perspective of the MOG. He is anointed for them. Material wealth, heatlh , fruit of the womb are all part of Gods provision. It is the blessing of abrahaM an MOG ought to minister to the people according to their needs. If your gospel can't meet my need , it is not a full gospel. Prosperity is an allround thing . Spiritually and otherwise. There is prophetic prayer or declaration. And they are all in the will of God. A woman that is barren can recieve baby by prophetic utterance, it is not carnal. It's her inheritance.

Isaac transferred the Abrahamic blessing by a prophetic prayer.

Genesis 27:27-28
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son[ is] as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed: 28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 


It looks like prayer here but if you read vs 37 it is also prophetic.

Genesis 27:37
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him:


We should avoid danger of judgement that God didn't send us. Lets focuss on the gospel to the world and leave men of God to the hand of God to handle coupled with our prayers. We point accusing finger to a fornicator but we commit  heavier sin with our mouths in judgement.

 1 Corinthians 14:3
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men[ to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.  


This is not the definition of prophesy but it explain the attribute of prophecy. Prophecy is simply defined as utterances that is inspired by God. It  involves prophetic prayer, meditation, word of knowledge , words of wisdom, faith declaration etc.

@t-TONYE

In addition I asked a last question which you didn't answer , I quoted a scripture.

But the thing I will like to add is that prophecy is a divinely inspired word. It may contain prediction , word of knowledge , word of wisdom and it may contain declaration of faith. Where prayer and meditation mingle .

The fact that someone pronounce blessing does not mean he doesn't teach on love or righteousness. You don't know everything about his doctrine .
Christianity EtcRe: My Fear For Pentecostalism. . .will She Last? by Joagbaje(m): 8:27pm On Jan 14, 2011
TONYE, our responsibility is to pray for ministers and for the body of christ, we have no mandate to criticize ministers or churches. It will back fire, we have many unsaved people that such damaging criticism will discourage from getting saved. Our criticism doesn't change anything but our prayers changes everything. That is the mandate we have.

Colossians 4:3-4
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

Eli did not prophecy to Hannah, rather he prayed with her

1 Sam 1:17 Then Eli said, Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.

And as per the food supply, it was Elisha not Elijah that spake on the supply of food, and his words were meant to edify the believing ~ which is where i still stand that Prophesies are meant to make people grow better in the journey of the spiritual man . Elisha's prophesy was meant to make the people have food but to make them believe in God.
In that case , the pastor that made declaration upon his congregation may not be wrong. He was praying for them too and they shouted Ameeeen!
In the year 2011 you will make so much money like you have never seen. . .the crowd: "Ameeeeeeeeeen"

In the year 2011 every little job will become big jobs in Jesus name. . .the crowd replied: "Ameeeeen"

In the year 2011 every boss that hates your face will not see peace in Jesus name
So we can classify the above as prayers also.

And now to the declaration of Paul >>My God shall supply all your need [/b]according to his riches in glory

Ask yourself, what is this God's riches in glory?. Is it the abundance of car or skyscrapers or materialistic things? or the expressions of love, inner peace and joy we radiate when we soar thru' life having Christ in us?.
We should not forget the highlighted part above. They gave physically to Pauls need he also made declaration concerning their needs. The bible says God gave us all things to enjoy, so if any is lacking in any area of his life either health, finance or material, he is not enjoying the riches in glory.

I'm not saying certain things can't be abused o. But we should thread with safety on areas we may not have full information. Let's we sin.

[b]2 Kings 4:15-16

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son.

I would have love to know from your perspective  if the scripture above is prophecy or prayer.
Christianity EtcRe: My Fear For Pentecostalism. . .will She Last? by Joagbaje(m): 11:52am On Jan 14, 2011
Prophesies are meant to make people grow better in the journey of the spiritual man and not to get a car that even a sinner can get thru' hardwork. Everything is becoming too artificial. . .make them feel good syndrome is hovering over my faith-confines. .
What do you say about Eli prophecy to Hannah that she would have a son. Or  samuel prophecy, that Saul would be king. Or Elijah prophecy that food will be cheap tomorrow, or of the abundance of rain. Or Apostle Paul that declared "my God shall suply all your need"  Before we just continue to criticize ministers do we understand their perspective. That is why God is cautioning us on judgmentalism.

Prophecy simply means to speak by divine inspiration . And a man can prophesy by faith also according to his knowledge in the plan of God. I'm not aware if these men you mention don't preach or teach that members should grow spiritually or get saved. I don't deny that everything can be abused, but we should leave judgement of what we don't know to God.

Any scriptures to back what you just said? I pasted a part of the bible from Deut 14 to make it easy for everyone. If you say that there are different types of tithe ( I have never heard this preached in the church) then show me some scriptures so that I can read and follow your line of thought.
Yes i will show you from the word. I will respond appropriately as soon as I settle down.

Something else occurred to me. I have seen many people in NL bashing anyone that seem to have a dissenting opinion without even being patient enough to hear the person out. The Berean Christians were praised in the new testament because they went home to search the scriptures to see if what they were told in church was according to the scriptures. That is why I don't want any blind assertion with no backing scriptures. If you want other Christians to learn, don't shut down the argument because of what you pastor told you. Lets do what the bible says.
That's one of my great concerns, those who perpetuate lies are afraid of exposure by truth. So they get into personality attack , if they have any good point , they should relax and bring it forth. The word of God is our authority.

Is it true CE charged N1k entry fee for the cross-over service?
The church didn't charge entry fee for service. The church announced that only few people can enter the auditorium which serves as a studio for broadcast . Several centers were created all over  for free. But the main auditorium had had issues in time past with crowd . The committee made admission by seat reservation. And they made the ticket 1000 for the main auditorium but other four auditorium there didn't require tickets . Those who had no tickets went into the other halls .It was merely a test to see if it will do the crowd control. The issue was not about money. How much is 25 million? We could have raised a billion in a week if there is a need.the auditorium cost well above 3 billion I'm not aware there is an auditorium that takes 30,000 with full air condition in this nation. We didn't go on air to solicit for funds. We gladly give because we are blessed in our giving. So the ticket was to reduce attendance in the main auditorium. The organisers could have done better but that's what they thought best. But it was not about raisng funds.    


What is the church's response to the ex-Sheraton Hotels' guy charged with fraud who claimed he gave the money to the church?
He only gave part in church. And the church teaches against stealing. We have hundreds of branches in lagos and he attended one of them . Pastor chris didn't know him. He gave some money through the branch. So he didn't  give pastor chris money. If a man gave for tv programme and the money was used for that purpose. It's the tv station that should be answering question. What if he had given money to charity home, or bought coffin to bury his father? What of the one he spend to buy food stuff and other personal services , why not ask them to pay back? If he gave pastor chris money personally it would have been a different thing. But if there is any wrong doing on the church part , the law would have been invoked against the church. we should allow the law to have it's cause and not our emotion. Criminal do go to churches , thinking by bribing God they can get away with evil. Pastor chris had called robbers out openly by the spirit and they came out to surrender. And he lead them to christ and police too their weapons.  

Is the CE a family business?Does Pastor Chris and Pastor Anita share the same calling?
Pls, I'm not a Xtian, I only need to know to help in correcting some impressions. Tnx
Read the bible , Moses , Mirian and Aaron . Are same family. Moses was their last born , they were his  senior. Such thing does happen but it's still by Gods spirit .   Jesus junior brother James became leader of the church, Jude also was Jesus brother . We can ask God if Jesus did family business .Paul had priscilla and aquilla ,a couple that pastored together under him. They had a church in their house which they pastor together. Is it family business?

where did pastor chris teach that you should do business with immorality. This kind of nonsense is the reason I began to post extract of pastor chris message on Nairaland.

I will continue to post his messages so that people can know what he truly preaches.

and what are these supernatural manifestations?
a. charging people N1000 each to worship God
That's an incomplete report.it was seat reservation for a reason to cut down numbers. We agree there could have been a better way. But It wasn't imposed . There were four other auditoria that requires no reservation ticket. It's was a choice . Besides it's the organizing committee that did this. The man of God was praying for the year.  

b. stage managing miracles
I work miracles, or rather miracles are been wrought through me and many other people I know. Why should miracles be a big deal to you.those who lack the supernatural in their lives criticises miracles .  It's supposed to be our life as Christian to work miracles.If you ever work a miracle, you will never criticise miracles again.

Mark 9:39
. . .  for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me

  
c. preaching a strange gospel called prosperity. teaching tithing and first fruits.
The gospel is about prosperity. Tithing and first fruit are not pastor Chris invention.

d. constantly bastardizing the body of Christ through his blasphemies
This is not strange , people in their ignorance call truth blasphemies.  Jesus and Paul were blasphemers to some ignorant people of their days.
 
e. encouraging people to steal for his "god"
I'm curious to have a proof of this. Can you prove it, quote the article where he said so or give a link. I'm sure you have none . Except gossip of poor men.

John 7:12
12 There was a lot of discussion about him among the crowds. Some said,"He's a wonderful man,"while others said,"No, he's duping the public
."

f. dressing, talking and acting as though he is of the world.
Wearing of fine suit is worldly to you. So What's your idea of Christian fashion? Jesus wore the fashion of his day.he didn't dress like John the baptist in goat skin! 

one question. . . .is chris oyakilome saved at all?
the question should have been , ARE YOU saved? Because you don't speak against christ if you are one of his.

@op
I think they hold  him in admiration but they don't how to express it. That's why they can't leave him alone.

John 7:12-13
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.


Some others do what he does but no one is talking. So it's simply admiration of one man.

Hmmm i laugh in Igala language. Everybody want to go to heaven but nobody wan dead. Even in freetown there is no free lunch. A lot of folks can buy coke and meat pie everyday but to give offering na wahala. No worry hold your money dont give it. That money you dont want to give to God willingly , somebody go take am by force and you would even be begging the person to take it. We make mistake by thinking when we give money in church we are improving the life of the pastor. have we ever taken time to closely watch people that gives willingly am not taking about christians here. They hardly go broke, because all truth are parallel. the more you give the more you receive.
There is a spirit behing money and if you tie that spirit down,its not going to invite his other brothers and sister. This is not written in any bible but commonsence.
This is great truth. Many people make others feel as though when one gives to God , the person will be broke. That is simply an expression of unbelief. Every principe from scripture proves that we are blessed through our giving. The Antichrist tries to rob people of their inheritance in christ by discouraging giving. It's a life principle. As Jesus and apostle Paul taught. Us.

Acts 20:35
. . . and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
