helpee: I don't know the pastor. I am only pointing out the deceit in church and how you guys have upended the word of God. A soul that gives his life to Christ has no meaning to you again because it's all about the money. You will rather have a church filled with unbelievers. I repeat, there is so much celebrations among Angels in heaven over just ONE soul that gives his life to Christ. |

MT: I lost interest in Christianity as a whole when this rubbish prosperity gospel started gaining ground over 30 years ago. And I never regretted it since. I had thought Christianity could not go lower. Men of God or rather God of Men have now come up with a new one - Church Growth Index. Abeg which one is Church Growth Index again? How do you measure it? Is it by shear numbers, income generated, number of people truly saved? Where in the Bible is it written? I believe the emphasis on material prosperity as against spiritual or moral prosperity is responsible for the moral decadence we have in all facets of the Nigerian society today. 3 Likes |

What the bible is preaching is winning souls, not winning members. If we can get people back to God and have righteousness in them, the denomination is not the matter. When you are more interested in what you have in terms of members and other things you have gone to be the rich man who is interested in himself only. Therefore we can say Heaven is far from you. Because if you say it is membership that is more important do we say that Heaven will be filled with Nigerians? As it stands now, Nigeria has the highest number membership in terms of going to Church. advanceDNA: |

Except they have a reason to believe the pastors had not done enough or are even working against the potential growth of the church by stealing money or their bad behaviours, I don't think they have valid reason to sack them. In the time of Jesus, the gospel was at the initial stage and their were enough ground cover in preaching the gospel. Now, there are church in almost every streets and more kepps springing up. It highLy competitive. That's why some pastors are preparing their miracles. Maybe that's what Winners want to to do |

Lifestone:winning souls for Christ is not quantified by the number of people that end up going to your church. It is the number of people that understand and follow the tenets of Christ and are able to preach same to others. So if the church sacked the pastors because the number of church members did not increase, then they should accept the flack they get. |

MT:We all know this but are you saying the pastor should be getting updates from angels in heaven? What is the essence of a soul saved that was not watered. salvation is not a days job. if you win a soul, the soul will be lost if it is not nurtured. That is why they are pastors not evangelist. A pastor means a shepherd that daily feeds the sheep. So where is the sheep? They are in heaven according to you so is it not better to allow the angels to keep feeding the sheep while the pastor is sacked. so if you employ fulani herdsmen without cows, you won't sack them because the cows are in sabo ? A pastor without a sheep has lost his job already...oyedepo only confirmed it by sacking him. We are too holy in this country. A pastor can't be sacked for having no congregation to pastor...so why is he a pastor? Abeg |

helpee: "A pastor without a sheep has lost his job already.." Can I have a Bible reference for this? Why did you discount the fact that when a pastor preaches and God wins a soul through him, it is NOT compulsory for that soul to worship in that church?; He could go away and worship somewhere else. While at that, point me to a reference in the bible where God commands us to be doing growth index by number of worshippers in church. When we talk of politics, we talk of constitution, when we talk of God, we should talk about the bible, not your own assumption. |

Wiseandtrue: In your mind, you think you were making sense. There are many churches he can serve God. He must not serve God in winner. If he has a calling, he should prove his ministry. Better still he can start his own ministry. as a pastor he is not call to winner's. He is called for service to God and it must not be winners. It can be done anywhere |

wirinet: This is a very good reference. The bible says two or three gathered in my name. See the threshold that is even stated in the bible!, Not thousands or millions gathered in my name. Christianity has gone to the dogs in Nigeria. |

Since it’s the Father’s job we all are doing and we all are his son’s, can you stop me from working in my father’s house the way I wish too? As long as I am doing my bit. Lastly you said something sensible that since he heard from God to ordain them why then will he sack them without hearing from God too abi Na God tell ham to sack them? U see this people ehn, just Dey look them as Dem Dey display their foolishness with religion. You made sense bro. 3 Likes |

This is for those defending the decision of winners chapel in sacking its pastors What is the actual source of the money used in paying employed pastors in winners chapel? How does the church make money to pay its pastors? Is the money coming from God directly? Answer the above questions honestly to wake up from your sleep . |
