BiggyB242:
Is the soul purpose of a church to increase in number or win souls for Christ irrespective of the church they decide to attend. Winners are so desperate to have a large population. They know an increase in growth is equivalent to an increase in income.

The function of the church is not to win souls. It is to preach the gospel, and feed the souls that God brings to the church. The winning of souls part is done by God Himself.

Kobojunkiee:
Again...where do you have Jesus Christ telling you that one?

According to Jesus Christ, in John 3 vs 16 - 21, when you believe in Him you are saved from the condemnation of sin aka Death and are gifted with Eternal life - at what point of this process does "God's Help" come in in addition to the eternal life(grace) He already provides us?

Eternal life was written there not GRACE.

Now this is GRACE below

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need

Interpret "growth index" for us

Growth means growth. The church has been on a church growth mission for the past 6 years and everybody knows it is about souls. Even muslims know this simple fact.

Feed the won souls with bread or the word of God?

Oyedepo is running a business, and his pastors must deliver on their targets else they lose their jobs. It is what it is.

Membership growth can be an index

Las Las everywhere na hustle

Na wao

We have heard the second side of the story and na same same. So they are to vacate their homes too....chai!

It's 2021 and some idiots still believe there's a "God" up there ...

No wonder these thieving, cunning pastors keep milking you fools.

I weep for the future of humanity.

SMH.

Righteousness2, Werey! What do you have to say?

What I see is "growth index"

Una sabi interprete sha...

Growth index in Bank translate to customer growth and customer growth translate to money

Yoruba sacking Yoruba...is not my business...it's brodas stuff

ogaemma:
I hope they give them their pay off and benefits.
The hustle is real.
If you still think the churches of now are days is for soul winning or prepare people for heaven, then you are a MUGU.

I like morayos stance on this matter

rittanie:
I thought been a pastor is a calling..imagine them sack your calling.

This is the reason why I wanted to see the letter before commenting. Church growth index is not the same as 'income generation' or whatever the heck was circulating on the internet.

This is a case of the "fig tree".

richiemcgold:
what does it profit a pastor that cannot generate income and even make a profit. Have they forgotten that christian ministry is now a business entity and the main target of all business is to GENERATE PROFIT?

Hmm... Una tire person

Picture of Sacked Letter of Pastor in Winners Chapel for not generating enough Income

One of the letters reads in part, “Consequent upon the recent performance reviews which revealed that your church growth index falls below expectations.

“Please be informed that your services as a pastor in charge are no longer required from this commission with immediate effect.

“You are to vacate the official accommodation (where applicable) and hand over all properties of the ministry in your custody, including your staff identity card to the area pastor before departure.

“May you find grace for a new beginning. Peace.”

Good and well constructed. Let him take his career somewhere else

. What does growth index implies ,What makes a Church grow ? What are the Expectations of a Church Owner ....Are you saying its only numerical strengths that makes a Growth index ...Most Churches branches remit money to headquarters , Growth are accessed by The amount of Tithes, offerings and how Members has increased with More new Physical structures buildings .. Don't twist it ,Those Pastors are not Sending enough money to the Headquarters simple
