Anything for Jesus na good thing

all this money, jst to build church? Na waooo, i no fit shout.

okotv:
money that could have been used on the missions field....let me not speak though cause ...

Mission field is being starved. Your observation just hit my heart. Church edifices are getting built, decorated and decorated lavishly again and again while evangelical workers in mission fields across the nation and the world are begging for funding. We are in an era of church auditorium "competition". Everyone wants to build the largest, the most expensive, the one with highest class...caring less about missionary activities. The end is truly nearer than ever!!!!

I tell you.

I value mission work more than anything else cause that was what we were sent to do in the first place ....one love brother

Op there is something missing in this your post..

After all this, I didnt see a place where you mention that people gave their life to Christ... What is the essence of a church where there is not record of people giving their life to Christ?

Believe me or not, Heaven wont be happy with a church built with billions of naira and no soul is redeem for Christ..

Building factories will have saved Nigeria better since I belief since the church will still house jobless people looking up to... ...for jobs.

vislabraye:
Why ? Is it because of the frequent sowing of seeds ?

u said it all

General Overseer of God First Ministry, popularly known as Illumination Assembly, Bishop Isaac Idahosa is arguably one of the classy and wealthy clergy in Nigeria.

The handsome bishop whose ministry is tagged Celebrity Church, parades a N2.5 billion ministry.

His N1.5 billion 10,000-seater auditorium along Addo-Langbasa Road, Ajah, Lagos, is ready.

The new auditorium would serve as his new headquarters when commissioned this year. A close source to the bishop informed ENCOMIUM Weekly that he splashed over N1 billion on the project. The reason is that the acres of land he acquired were reclaimed at Ajah, Lagos.

We learnt he also acquired another multi million naira property around Ajah too recently. Insiders alleged that he invested heavily on property and ICT.

That explains the N100 million auditorium he reportedly erected at Surulere axis in Lagos. He also commissioned a multi-million naira auditorium at Okota, Lagos. This also serves as one of his branches. Amongst his multi-million naira properties, the branch at Minna, Niger State is acclaimed the biggest. It is an ultra-modern edifice. The reason is not unconnected with the fact that he started his ministry from there.

The soft-spoken clergy also invested in health centres. The health centres are directly under the supervision of the church. He has the main health centre at Ajah near the ministry’s headquarters.

In fact, Bishop Idahosa is widely known as Pastor of Celebrities. A lot of Nollywood stars grace his ministry and he holds special services for them.

The reason is that he is also an entertainment loving bishop with three hit gospel albums and the popular one is Don’t Give Up. These albums have net several millions for him due to his widespread influence.

He lives well and loves the good things. He lives in one of the most expensive estates in Ajah. He rides a Lincoln Navigator, Range Rover and has five SUV automobiles.

However, his rise to success is quite remarkable as he started his ministry with 50 kobo.

Today, the ministry has blossomed into a mega church. In September 2012, international gospel star, Ron Kennelly was among the special guests invited for the 23rd anniversary of Bishop Idahosa’s Illumination Assembly Church in Minna, Niger State.

His honorarium per annum from most of his engagements, home and abroad, is close to N50 million. As a celebrity pastor, he nets an estimated N500 million per annum as tithes and offering.

Bishop Isaac Idahosa is from Edo State. He was born into the family of six children and he is the third. He is married to Christie Idahosa. The marriage clocked 26 on Sunday, April 28, 2014. The union is blessed with two children, Christabell and Osagie.

Hmmmm....i was with this pastor when he was a pastor in ijeshatedo lagos as a member of his choir. Then i could remember how great this man's ministry was in the years1992-1993 even though the auditorium was ridiculously too small.
See how God has blessed him now....
