At the height of the cold war, with so many of Africa's newly emerging countries - Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe - turning eastward, the likes of Billy Graham and the CIA served a new dish.

eGuerrilla:
A lot of Nigerians do not understand the involvement of the CIA in promoting this development.
I recall just like yesterday watching several coaches pull up outside my school, with Nigerian missionaries (Scripture Union students from the College of Medicine, UNILAG)) bearing Greek gifts: bags containing fan ice, biscuits, chocolates in one hand; a copy of Gideon's bible, which dwells on the new testament, in the other.
I am wiser now to know where some of the funds for that project came from

my problem is just hw quik d present prosperity teachn clerics forget what Jesus himself taught,
Jesus said things like **it wuld be easy for a camel to pass through d eye of a needle that for a rich man to enter into Gods kingdom, Jesus also said that we cannot slave for 2 masters,we cant slave for God & riches, apostle paul thru timothy warned that those who love money and d desires of this world are headin for destruction, also d apostles also warned that those who r determined to be rich fall into temptations dat plunge men in destruction, the wisest man solomon also gave timely advice on how material things shuld be viewed, what God assures us of as true servants of His is our basic needs not material wealth,

woodcook:
Is like Nigerian pastors are trying to run him out of business in his country. Guess he should to be at the top of the business. He should step up, re-strategies and stop complaining.

Gadols:
I agree with the Conrad guy but again he needs to realize that this phenomenon is not only in nigeria
and it will be wrong to come up with such title. Nigeria is sure corrupt but the church you would agree has help
in curbing the menace. it could have been worse.

How many times have you heard Ron Kenoly or Don Moen songs singing about money, houses and cars like hip hop gangsters?

The last time I smoked was On Saturday 30th Jan. though not as promised, but by the grace of God was able to resist it and started having feverish symptoms 5 days after, but didn't allow it to weigh me down. The reason is that If I don't report to work on health grounds, there must be an evidence of my visit to the company clinic, and I don't want to visit the company's clinic 4 fear of testing positive to cannabis.

How many days do I need to be sure this cannabis is no longer in my blood? for someone who's been smoking 4 years.

Basito:
What is the misunderstanding and quarrel over the simple truth 'Pastor Chris should be respected'.?God will be so disappointed at any man that uses his intelligence against God's wisdom.The wisdom of God is not taught in universities but in the churches(1Tim3v15), the church of God, the pillar and ground of THE TRUTH.The word of God is the only tool that  can help us analyse and judge all Christian activities.
How would you feel to know that all your criticisms against this great man of God, Pastor Chris, are unfair characterisations made out of ignorance and do not represent what happens in the church?
Romans14v4(TLB):They are God's servants, not yours.They are responsible to him(God),not to you.Let him tell them whether they are right or wrong.And God is able to make them do as they should.
If we must accept the truth, this scripture knocks of what one of the persons said that God has anointed them also to criticise pastor Chris.
The bible shows us from the scripture above that they(the likes of Pastor Chris, Prophet T.B Joshua, Bishop Oyedepo etc) are God's servants and no man has the responsibility of talking them down, it is deadly to call men of God names. I thought, intelligence should rather help us to understand and accept the truth.
1Tim5v17:Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
We can see clearly from the scripture above that Pastor Chris deserves honour and respect from all of us, and this has nothing to do whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, because it is God's idea for his men to be respected.You will only endanger your own self if you choose not to respect them.

It is true that the church should be the platform to demonstrate God's wisdom [read Ephesians 3:10] but not the crazy religion & atrocities taking place their now in the name of God's wisdom.
Nigerians are renowned for their intelligence globally but their gullibility in the hands of this celebrity ministers sitting as gods in the temples of commercial Christianity is mind bogging to say the least

You may choose to honor chris O for all you care
It's a free world
Yet what deprivations has he suffered for the word of Christ?
Where has he labored in word and doctrine?
Even Christ said take heed to what you hear
Do you?
Are you like the Bereans who heard Paul speak and went through their bibles to see if it was so?
Many in today's church would gladly fall down at the feet of the apostles who followed Christ and Paul to worship
Yet Peter forbid Cornelius from doing so reminding him he was a mere man saved by God's grace like him
Paul and Barnabas tore their clothes and rebuked men from worshiping them at Lystra
Are your celeb pastors this humble?
They peddle cunningly devised fables to you and you scream preach it
This deceitful workers masquerading as apostles of Christ
Go read 2nd peter again
But you love it so seeing you have developed itchy ears to the truth
May God himself open the eyes of His straying children to the truth
Maranatha

Pastor Kun:
Joagbaje sharrap and stop giving all these flimsy excuses for your thieving Oga. Someone already used an example of a politician returning campaign donations becos the source was questionable, should we expect less from a church or a supposed man of God? The church is supposed to be at the epitome when it comes to morals, ethics and righteousness. Stop giving daft excuses for your thieving boss cause he is just a shameless common criminal. Imagine a pastor looking for legal loopholes to justify crime instead of doing the right thing. The other excuse you gave that it is God the money was given to is also highly blasphemous. Are you now saying that God receives stolen money? Maybe the mamon god you zombies worship in CE, but the almighty God whom true believers worship does not even receive clean money from believers how much less stolen money. The bible makes it clear God has no needs we humans are capable of meeting so stop telling lies to justify crime in your cult.

Tonye-t:
At least I am a dunce to acknowledge that a man who has championed the course of the christendom is worthy of respect

At least I am a dunce to have pointed out that this man's spiritual achievements are evident in the number of transformed lives

I feel proud to be a dunce by giving respect to a man i find no faults in. . .his messages and lifestyle have helped provided a picture of what a true mentor and servant-leader should be.

I still feel proud to be a dunce because I see a man who helps millions out there by providing them means of getting to understand the precious words of God in simplistic manner.

And You mr.wise guy is busy making everyone believe the pastor is a fraud on the base that a member of his gave offerings from a stolen means and therefore means the humble Pastor is a thief without understanding a thing about the law. How pathetic!

You mr. wise guys is always quick to point at the speck in the Pastor's eyes yet not removing the pathetic big log in your stu.pid eyes.! I see who is dunce.

You mr.wise guy is on Nairaland dishing insults on a man whose achievements as a humble Christian pastor will never be attained by your sorry self in this life and life to come. How pathetic are you Mr.wise guy

One word for you. . . wipe your sorry arse.!

How dare you ascribe legend status to a servant of His who is a bloody sinner just like all mankind if not for Christ's grace?

I recently heard Rhythm naming some Nigerians as living legends, why is Bishop david Oyedepo's name not there?
I trip to Canaanland - Ota will show anyone that this man is a legend, I heard his ministry is set to Open another university
called Landmark University soon after the order of Covenant University which is a pace setter in Private university administration.
