there are some details about him that I don't want to share online

ngeneukwuewuGOAT:

Me na only kwesion I wan ask ooo

1. Who will succeed Pa Adeboye if he is gone.
2. Who will succeed Pa Kumuyi when he is gone.
3. Who will succeed Pa Oyedepo when he is gone.
4. Who will succeed Pa Okotie when he is gone.
5. Who will succeed Oyakhilome when he is gone?

Now let's check this:

Bishop Benson Idahosa dies, his wife took over.
T. B Joshua dies, his wife took over
And now Odukoya dies and his son took over.

Is church now a family inheritance? What is the stake of members of the church in the affairs of things?

Janosky:


"In the 19th century, Charles Haddon Spurgeon stated that Jesus is "the true Michael" and "the only Archangel."

Martin Luther said that too.

Nah this point sweet me pass

seuncyrus:
The first time I heard that was on twitter. It sparked a debate and I was so confused . Isn't he an actor ? Was the Church willed to him or how exactly does that work ? So I got to know that he's a pastor too, He actually pastors the cave church in Lekki with his sister Tolu

But I still don't understand this Pastor with long dread , tattoos and ear piercings . Maybe I'm just old fashioned. If he's genuinely called I pray the Lord strengthens him

Kobojunkie:

Use your brain nau. Adeboye's children cannot succeed him. RCCG has a succession template, and nowhere is familial tie a criterion.

BadEnglish:
@op, are in anyway related to Aisha Yesufu?

BJanta:


I'm like you. Everytime I imagine him on the altar saying, ' Praise the LORD ' , my heart skips a beat. May the LORD forgive you and me in JESUS' Name. Because you CAN'T just always understand the move of GOD. Remember Jephthae, remember Apostle Paul.

Thomasankara:
[/color]na u Sabi, what I mean is anyone paying tithe is practising Judaism and not Christianity and God is going to judge the person on the template of Judaism and not Christianity[color=#770077]

Kobojunkie:
Indeed! This is why on every corner you turn in Nigeria, there are at least 2 or 3 church businesses but you can easily count on just your hands alone the number of factories, manufacturing plants, etc., in that entire town. Continue encouraging people to set up their own church noise businesses!

Alliswell248:
I repeat......they are not accountable to you. You can join the business as your claimed.

daygee12:
Why should a church be owned by 1 person? U & i make up a church but the most Pastors see it as a way to make money for themselves

Kobojunkie:
The statement in bold is impossible.

First of all, God never gave men religion. Rather what He gave men was His Law and His one and only mandate to them was obedience of His Law. That man chose to construct religion using the name of God in no way means the religion then is associated with God. No, it just means God set themselves against God by way of Religion, and God already disavowed that which you know as the religion of Judaism since the time of the prophets — Ezekiel 34.
Second, Jesus Christ also never gave men Religion but rather He gave to His followers God's Law— the Gospel aka the God News— and urged obedience to His Law. So, even your Religion of Christianity, Jesus Christ condemned as doctrines and traditions of men — lies— that are against Him - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 10 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13 & John 10 vs 1 - 16.

All these religions do is set people far far away from the Truth of God as explained by Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago.

OneCandleAway:


Relax. The person you quoted probably isn't aware it was another man that founded RCCG and named Adeboye his successor. Therefore Adeboye cannot name his children successor because nor bi him papa start RCCG

Kobojunkie:
Stop deceiving yourselves! You give away your hard-earned money for free to the ones who really own the church business. You are neither partners nor shareholders in the business. Just blind customers.

daygee12:
■ Make God open people's eye to see these Pentecostal Pastors are just out there to eat church money and nothing more. That Oyedepo can't make heaven

GanagiBitrus:
No single man that has laboured to grow a church to a level where tithes/offerings run into millions of Naira, will just hand over the church to an outsider. He will always prefer his family member.

That's the reality.

OGHENAOGIE:
well this is why some persons prefer other places succession is via inheritance like Catholic Anglican etc... Even in business there are cases children don't succeed parents but can still benefit.. what's important is keeping the legacy... There are pastors who were there when the ministry started to...

VBCampaign:


The author does not query sons succeeding fathers. The author thinks it right and wholesome - all things being equal. The author thinks that the self promoting spirit of Pentecostal churches however leads almost inevitably to churches running as family businesses. Truth is that if these churches were sacrificial and serving humanity, it will not be the business that most of them have become, that warrant family members succeeding themselves.

Kobojunkie:
Succession is via inheritance? Even the popes practiced similar nepotism for a while until the entire establishment got too big for one man and his family to even dream of managing.

OGHENAOGIE:
as it is Toda churches like Catholic Anglican isn't via inheritance... Some churches it is even by voting self...

Nepotism was first practiced, and that to a very considerable degree, by pope Nicholas III (q.v.), towards the close of the 13th century; reproachfully he was called the patriarch of papal nepotism.

Kobojunkie:
...All the businesses you mentioned have their history of the sameAll of them na the same dem be.
