richiemcgold: You can talk like this because you are either illiterate to see there was no mention of money in the letter or you are just an Anti-Christ who clearly hates everything about God. Even Jesus Christ himself said "he that bears much fruit, my father will prune so that he can bear more. But he that bears no fruit, my father will cut off". The church follows the teachings of Christ, so if a pastor decides not to bear fruit, even the bible says he should be cut off. 1 Like |

This money making organization is what they have used to destroy Africa according to Fela... An average African is more concern about spiritual things, like how to fight ancestral curses, bad dreams, how to make heaven etc. 2 Likes |

No matter how desperate some people may want to twist this,the fact is that it is a strange and very sad development. Church should be a succour or a resting place for all troubled souls. But in a situation whereby it is the same church that is creating problems for the same people it is expected to protect - physically and spiritually,then,that becomes a very strange development ! I don't know what Winners Chapel means by "church growth" but I don't think it is enough reason to throw the affected pastors to the biting cold winds of a sudden unemployment. Remember,these pastors have wives,children and other dependants to care and cater for. Did the church consider this and many more before arriving at that decision ? Let's even agree that the "church growth" in that context does not necessarily mean financial growth. Does Winners Chapel expect its pastors to forcefully drag people to the church for soul winning or what exactly ? There is more to this ,definitely ! It is morally and spiritually wrong,very wrong, to run the church like a business empire ! Let's fear God,the church's owner ! 3 Likes |

Tareq1105: I can see you are a member of LFC. Don't be deceived, some locations of the churches recently established are not viable. When church leaders were given mandate to establish 10k churches, it got to a time that they engaged estate agents to look for buildings just to meet targets. I personally know someone engaged in 2019 August. His church attendance at the moment is less than 10 and he was not sacked. He complained that his location is not viable because it is less than 2km to an existing big branch of LFC given that the building used as place of worship is just an obscure shop in the area. They told him they can't change the location because is already documented at the hqtrs. What I can suggest about the sacked pastor is when income doesn't correlate with attendance. I have a 2019 guy whose attendance is up to 27 but his Sunday income is usually around 600 naira. Even he and wife are suppose to give nothing less than 500 naira on Sunday. But the first guy up there whose attendance is less than 10 in an unviable area gets up to 1k every Sunday. |

Let's leave spirituality aside. The pastors are actually lazy. In this Nigeria where most people are unemployed and underemployed, these pastors shouldn't have joked with their jobs. Populating Winners church is so easy. There are like only one Winners chapel church per community. I trust RCCG pastors sha. Their churches are always filled up even though another RCCG parish is only 5 minutes walking / driving distance away. You can call it "CEO branch manager" transactions but these pastors have families to feed. Dem fuckkk up sha. |

eRex: My Broda, Growth Index is proportional to Generating Income nah...there is a positive correlation between them. If there are 20 people in a church today and next week the attendance increases to 40, u will agree with me that the "Offering time" will be a glorious one for the pastor and branch.. No dey defend dis people, THE CHURCH IS A BUSINESS ORGANIZATION. No dey carry am for head ooo |

My opinion is that church can sack them cos most sacked were not called by God but trained by the church and if they had followed the church laiddown principles their parish or zone will grow. .buh some just see that opportunity to milk d church adding little or nothing to the development....abi when church pays them salary,give them house,pay for their children school and yet they relax and there are new convert with zeal and passion for God.abeg what do yu expect....well naa my opinion anyways buh that's the simple truth |

Legendrysailor:IN THE COMMISSION, ITS NOT A CALLING, PER SE... ONCE YOU HAVE A GOOD DEGREE (BSc/Masters, etc), and you've done all the Bible School and Certificate courses, and you're articulate and active in the church activities, homecell groups, etc , with a good reputation to boot... Nwanne, if you submit CV, they'll give you the job. That's why it's a salaried job. It is the General Overseer that has the calling and vision. The pastors who submit CV and get employed,are only ENLISTED INTO THE VISION... |

faceland:the calling of God is not put by s man. Go into the world and bear fruit. God gave that command. Man only gives the platform through churches. If a man removes you from his platform i.e church, fikd another church or better still start your own platform. There are people spreading the gospel today without having churches. There are gospel singers, Organisations which help. Find one that will help your calling, you dont have to be a pastor or serve under Oyedepo. Association no be by force na. Una too get entitlement mentality for Nigeria. 1 Like |

Ishilove:What was circulating in the media was based on the interview the 'pastor' granted. He went to meet the state pastor concerning the sacked letter and he was told that his branch was running at a loss as the income generated cannot sustain the branch and the church running at a loss isn't acceptable. The pastor said he is being paid #40,000 monthly as contained in his employment letter. He wasn't the only one sacked. The "church growth index" was really about low income generated. |

rollywise:He is asking for Peter Paul etc not old testament. If you're to go which old testament then you will have to talk about where Abraham give 10% of everything he had not 10% of his monthly income. And also remember that a Malachi God was actually talking about pastors that doesn't have inheritance among the Israelites that means they don't have house they don't have sheep and also farmland these things were actually the things that bring about good leaving then |
