floriana: It is not only Ashimolowo. They are all scammers and conmen. One 'daddy GO' once wrote something like that in the daily devotional published and sold by him to his 'worshippers'. The implications of his law of sowing and reaping can be interpreted thus:u no go kill me o, i don laugh tire, and are u sure pple fell for this scam? |

tinnymerit: I dont know how far it is true,i heard he was sent to the UK by foursquare gospel church in Nigeria for a training/development and when he got there he had what he was sent there to do and started his own church without considering the sender.I dont know how far it is true but a friend confirmed it though.yes, i was a foursquare member before i got married and my brother is still a pastor there, so, im confirming........its true. God knows those that are His. |

Its not their fault, they are good sellers, and some pple are just gullible to use huge sum to buy emptiness. Why do i have to buy God's blessing with money? When His blessings never cease, they are new everymorning to me and His faithfulness is great. |

Christians deserve what they get. Consequence of gullibility, naivety, and confusion. Are Mosques like this? Siphoning hardworking people of their hard earned cash? |

Na wa, just when you think churches have reached their lowest in Nigeria, they surprise you and challenge you to witnessing a new low. You mean all the money from tithes, books, collection 1,2,3; wedding, naming etc is not enough. I suspect buying miracles is next. |

My brother you don fall my hand oo. Why don't you also line up and when it reach your turn you will land the pastor a hot thunderous slap and shout may Thunder Fire You. Your blessing afterwards will be in great abundance |

As a person of faith let me start by saying most of what he is saying is probably true but it has nothing to do with what he did or said. God is not a genie! The simple law of sowing and reaping is applicable in all facets of life. You don't need to be a religious person to understand it or even practice it. Unfortunately "preachers" use it to manipulate impressionable people. What's most important for people to know is God does not need your money to accomplish anything. There are some things the bible teaches on being good stewards of our money but whether people decide to give an offering or not God can still accomplish what he wants to accomplish. This "24hr miracle teaching" is very dishonest at best! Will God decide not to bless people who cannot afford the "price" ($240 or $100)? I am not a bible scholar and don't pretend to know it all in the bible but there are some basic elements of the bible that are not opened to anyone's self promoting interpretation. Might as well change the title of the message to "Bring your money to the Genie for a 24hr miracle" Excuse my french but that is a bunch of BS!!! |

Whats all that about? All churches do that. Inclusive of Redeem. It is not by force, so, what are you crying about? If you have you give, if you dont, you sit still. When they call for special offerings, it could be for specific projects, programmes or some community work somewhere. Why do you all assume it is so they could defraud people? People willingly give millions, because they have been so so blessed, but because you are broke and poor, you think it is a taboo or 419 for people to give money in church. SMH. If you understand the principle of giving, you will every week look for the nearest church to give something to, but if you dont, you will continue to think like a pauper and blame yourself when you find people progressing from God's hundred fold blessings. |

Pastor Kun: This not news, such scams are typical of Ashimolowo. He cannot preach any where without attempting to scam them there with his so called 24hr miracle. The slowpoke is just a plain fraud period.Just wondering why you called him slowpoke when he is getting three long lines of people ready and willing to part with the amounts requested for. |

But blessing are not for sale. So those that don't have the 240 and 100 what's gonna happen to them.. |

saxywale: this is not new. he did something similar to this on OAU campus in 2005. telling students to sow not less than 1000 naira to receive blessings. it happens a lot in redeem churches as well, guest pastors telling you to sow a special seed to receive blessings.This thing works more when it is coming from a guest pastor, when the host pastor has tried to no avail. |

pizzle234: Agreed. But blessing are not for sale. So those that don't have the 240 and 100 what's gonna happen to them..They will still be blessed. If you don't have what was asked for give what you have. If you give according to your ability its acceptable to God. I have seen things work this way. |

What is this principle of giving to receive you people talk about, is it some kind of bribe? 'cause that works well. If these monies are used for these PROJECTS as you seem to believe don't you think all the roads in this country would be paved? All the orphans would be fed? Tell me how much zuckerberg gave to be a billionaire or even all the Hollywood actors you know. Ok maybe what you receive isn't money maybe it is health, question were you sick when you woke up that you need to pay someone to guarantee you are not sick when you go to bed? The problem is most people don't want to work and believe that life is filled with such evil it is impossible to go a day without being SPIRITUALLY PROTECTED. God does not need your money, pastors do. |

pizzle234: Won't they feel intimidated? I feel he should just make it simple. Like contribute what you have with no price tag.It all boils down to personal understanding. I was in one of his meeting sometimes this year whe he called for $100, which I don't have at the time and I wanted give something by all means(my personal decision). I did give what I had and moved on. I guess my testimony must have been greater than those who gave the $100. Its a faith issue. |

let me add my own Jeremiah 9:23-24 Amplified Bible (AMP) 23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord. 1 Peter 4:17 Amplified Bible (AMP) 17 For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God? He that has ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying |
