My sis was telling me how one particular Mega church sells its name

to any pastor who wants to set up a church

, then returns are made to the real church

i really didnt know it had reached this level o

hearsay with no evidence. . . . are we supposed to discuss what you 'heard' from your sister with no proof/name so we can at least try to verify?

What kinda name?  On friday there was this pastor that came to my bank to open an account for his church.  .  .  .the name? God of Zero Hour Ministries Cracked me up.

Anyway if selling church names is a way of bringing more money into the Lord's vineyard,then Halleluyah Pastor! Bring in the harvest  

@debo

Show some faith brother!!

whatever happened to 'I was in a dream and the Lord ministered to me to open a ministry and call  it XYZ bible church a.k.a John Smith Ministries Int'l'

@Debosky

Please dont come here and do what you do abeg

Your sports page is calling you.

Im just looking for opinions here!

Seriously tho.  .  .if a church sells its name to other pastors that want to set up churches,then there would be many churches with that same name right? Or does it work some other way,Gamine?

Yes, there are many churches with that name

You see it all the time.

what am I doing

I simply asked - can you provide a bit more before we fly off on a goose chase?

What If I came and posted [i]'I heard from my half-uncle that Gamine was selling her hair as get rich charm' [/i]would it be appropriate

Not hating on you darling, just wanted a little more substance

@ Criz

that must be the funniest name yet, wetin be Zero Hour??

Nawa

@Gamine

For real? I'm yet to see such. Wonders upon wonders

@debozzie

I tire o,as in,zero hour ke? I was just laughing. . .not in front of the man sha

Cristalz:

I was just laughing. . .not in front of the man sha

They wouldve fired your behind.

maybe church names are running out

But really if 'franchising' was really going on, I would be surprised.

A_K_O:

They wouldve fired your behind. 

Abi o

But the man would forgive me na,i mean,spirit of Christianity and all

@debo

How could church names be running out? The franchising thing is even surprising because therez a whole lot to pick from in the Bible   Like ''Fruits of the Spirit Tabernacle'' or something

That Nigeria is the most evangelised nation in the world and is still one of the poorest is quite disturbing.

and still one of the sinnest in the world. them carry church for head

A_K_O:

That Nigeria is the most evangelised nation in the world and is still one of the poorest is quite disturbing.

I wonder oh , all the cabashing still number 121 on corruption list and Denmark that have less Christians top the list

This is beyond hearsay, i wonder why people readily believe what they read in the papers 

anyways, the church is Redeemed o.

And it is no small wonder, because you can't tell the differences

but the parishes have unique names sha.



Nigerians are the most pretentious

a friend of mine was cryingover this.

Nigerians wld do stuff that would make satan blush

and then go about in a manner that Mother teresa could never aim to reach

I had said I would not post anything today but Gamine you don tempt me

I am not a redeemed member,have never been and might never be

I know that it is the vision of the reedemed christian church of God to have at least 2 or 3 parishes on a street,I know they send a pastor and some memebers from an already established parish to start a new parish in the same town, and when it has been firmly established they either send that bpastor to plant another parish or they leave him there.

The redeemed name is not for sale abeg
it is just a rumour

Madam Gamine you should be able to tell a rumour from the truth.

It is also a rumour that Abacha stole money.

Gamine:

It is also a rumour that Abacha stole money.

whenever I log on to the computer, the reason is because of nairaland, some of you guys are better than Richard Pryor, Martin Lawrence, Baba Suwe, Baba Mero, Baba Sala, Gbenga Adeboye, Eddie Murphy combine, 

Gamine you don kill me o

church franchising? well that sounds really greedy.
I know only of satellite churches and the pastors are properly ordained to head them but selling the name of the church for bountiful harvest? well, i wont put it past humans sha

@Idinrete.

IT is not a funny situation really o

@Janami,

Yes i wont put it past humans.

My mum also told me about some Covenant Church in the USA

they did the same thing, but they invited pastors from Nigeria

who they gave money to open churches in Nigeria,

Lots and lots of things happen but because it seems to involve "men of god"

people will pass it off as rumours.

Gamine, I think the way it was presented to you is wrong. The Redeemed vision cannot be about franchising. Maybe things seem to be so to some of us but it might not necessarily be that way.

What I believe is that they actually ordain their own pastors for the different parishes. The pastor may not necessarily be someone we regard as qualified to pastor a church but then, who are we to judge such things?

OOOh!!

im tired of hearing this Judge thingy

Do u people know the meaning sef!

kai

Gamine:

It is also a rumour that Abacha stole money.

rumour ke, it is a fact

Gamine just checked out your profile,
