Nothing.

THEY WILL BE TOLD TO EMPTY THEIR BANK ACCOUNT FOR THE PASTOR, THAT THEIR GREATNESS IS TODAY.

Meanwhile pastor's own greatness comes from members pockets.

Most Churches motivate then extort, And make you start thinking that God does not exist .

If your man/woman of God tell you what he's passing through, you will know that your own problem is a Child's play.

Let nobody manipulate you into giving all you have to organizations that are already doing well financially. It's better to help the poor Nd less privileged than giving all to the person that's richer than you already.

Most Preachers re the reason why people are leaving churches today and many of the people leaving churches no longer believe that God really exists

I thank God for the man like DR ABLE DAMINA.

Pay tithe because u love God not because you are afraid that things will be tithe for you if you didn't pay.

What Jesus and His apostles did.

Acts 4:34-35 (KJV)

Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

The church doesn't create jobs or generate a source of income for anyone except the Pastors and maybe the Minister/Elders on rare occasions or artisans who are called to do some major repairs in church facilities which we know doesn't occur often. Church like every other place of worship are major consumers.

The only thing the church can do is pray but to be candid, more industries are needed than places of worship in these trying times.

They can do what the church of old did for their members by sharing what they had together.

Nada..all they can do is to pray. You figure out the rest for yourself.

When they are building the church, it's our church. After completion, it becomes the pastor's church

Nigerian churches are not about what they can do for their members, it's all about what the members of the church could do for the church, this life no just balance.

The church can for a start give food items to members who don't have.
In the Catholic Church for instance, we have St Vincent the poor society. Church members do give contributions to them and in turn, they give to the society on an announced day.
Secondly, employers can have job openings for members of the church thereby reducing unemployment and this can have a ripple effect too

The church should force members to Increase tithe from 10% to 25%. By so doing members will have HBP and die so that they can go to heaven and enjoy in their mansion in heaven.

The church often struggles with effectively managing and circulating wealth, tending to hoard resources much like politicians, reflecting a "poverty mentality."

Buy food in bulk like the way cooperatives do. Get the members to buy slots for themselves and others so that those that don't have can get something.

Any hardship that affects the church member also affects the church. Your givings is out of you pocket and if that pocket suddenly suffers, your giving towards your church will likely suffer also. So dont adminish the church to rob one member to pay another under the guise of hardship.
This is a blackmail of pastors to do miracles and a temptation of God in heaven.
