I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, I also think it's wrong to make a generalisation without having all the facts.

Your first point about giving is noted but those who give aren't complaining or not seeing the results of their giving. In the bible, it was recorded in many instances that some people gave their all to a course whether in the old or new testament. You give according to the measure you want. Nobody forces you to give above your means. God sees ur heart remember? And I know that in CE it has been said several times that you can give whatever you have.


On your second point, CE talks about sin but that isn't the church's main focus. The church teaches that if you focus on the word of God, you will learn to live above your fleshly desires. Focusing on sin isn't even scriptural. Please refer to Roman 6-8. CE never glorifies sin. Go and listen to his messages there are several of them on sin and living by the spirit. Furthermore, I find it amazing how ppl just want to believe the wrong things. The issue of masturbation which many have misconstrued is sad. The other pastors on the panel talked expressly on how to overcome masturbation which shows the church doesn't endorse it. Secondly, pastor Chris went further to say that it is not a sin but a habit. He said when you treat it as a habit, it breaks the power over you. Masturbation is a habit and can be overcome.

Lastly, it is contained in several verses of the bible that there's a gospel according to saint Paul, St Peter and so on. So I don't think when they say pst chris's msg that they mean something different or heresy.

I believe everybody should have a relationship with God and seek him personally then by his spirit you can discern rightly.

Thanks






I don't want to comment about your first and second paragraph but your last. Becos the arguments will result in futility. We know what we know abt CE and let it stay like that

Peter and Paul are chapters in the bible shld Pastor Chris msg be equate to these chapters in the bible?

The Power Of The Holy Communion By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

…the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me (1 Corinthians 11:23-25).

The Holy Communion is a very important sacrament in the Church and there’s a lot we should know about it. We’re told in 1 Corinthians 11:24 that Jesus took bread and broke it and gave it to His disciples to eat. When He broke the bread and said, “This is my body, which is broken for you,” it signified that He was given up for our sake; He was bruised and killed in our place.

So when you “break” bread, you’re commemorating the vicarious death of Christ, the sacrificial Lamb that was given up for you. The eating of the bread is also very significant. When you eat the bread, you’re not only reaffirming that His body was broken for you, but also that you’ve become a part of it. You’re eating, as it were, His body into your body. That means you’ve become responsible for Him as He is responsible for you. IT ALSO MEANS YOU CAN'T TAKE THE COMMUNION AND THEN TURN AROUND AND BETRAY OR DENY JESUS; IT'S FORBIDDEN.

The Communion signifies a oneness with Him that makes you inseparable from Him. Jesus also declared in the twenty-fifth verse of 1 Corinthians eleven, “This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.” The Cup signifies the New Testament sealed in His blood. His divine blood was shed for us for the remission of sins, so that sin should not have dominion over us.

Now we are the products of the New Testament; we are what He got for His sacrifice! The next time you take Communion, remember these things and declare them in prayer, giving God thanks for all that Christ obtained for you.

Prayer
Father, I thank you for the body of Jesus that was broken for me and His blood that was shed for the remission of my sins. Now my body will never again be broken and sin will never have dominion over me. He was wounded for me transgressions and bruised for my iniquities, the punishment for my sins was laid upon Him, and by His stripes, I was healed! Thank you Father for the divine life I have in Christ. I walk conscious of it every day, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Further Study
Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Corinthians 11:26-34 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Unfortunately, most of the big churches are guilty of this. All teachings and sermons now revolve around the GOs and founding Pastors.
Churches are becoming brands of christianity, where members believes they're superior christians just for the fact that they attend a particular church.
There was a church I attended, where during testimony a member was thanking God for making his sibling face tribulations which lend him to consider changing church and becoming a member of his church. Jesus wept.

All, not most

Christ embassy? Tahh!! I left that social gathering since school days, more than 9 year's ago, when one of the lady executive of the fellowship came up to minister with the shape of her V-jay showing glaring to the crowd due to the tight fisted trouser she wore. I and my friends just concluded it was going to be our last time in any of their gathering. And I was really growing there to become a leader there, with my Jerry curl hair and suit, omo con see fine boy hahaha. Anyways op you are invited to join Agape Christian Assembly, am sure you will love it.

That curly hair is wat pisses me. I, a regular guy curls my hair, woos a member of theirs, i ll be classified as gay and very irresponsible. A CE member does same and he ll be classified as growing in the Lord.

The gospel is the good news. The message of the cross, saying Jesus loves you. He did this, by taking your place on the cross. Any other message that is not centred on what Jesus has done is a contrary message from the gate of hell. The reason for ministry is to win souls into the kingdom of God, and prepare them to make heaven. Ministry is not to gather members and manipulate them to give. People are not economic trees as some fake pastors see them. Although, giving is part of christian life
but it is not a ministry. God gave His only begotten Son to ransom the world, but He did not call it a ministry. Let me just stop here.

It was a counselling section on a Monday. U had to pay a thousand naira to buy an anointing oil bottle that could not be up to 200 naira to see the pastor. I guess that's the gate fee. After speaking with the pastor, he tells me I needed special prayers and he would have to make a special oil for me which is N3000. What about the gate fee anointing oil?

All your words about Christ Embassy tells me that you never attend the Church even for a time, because if you do you will not be saying this trash that is coming from your mouth.
I believe you are one of anti pastor Chris from the first day of your life..let me tell you the fact, i have been to the church and i know how God has touch my life through the man of God..
I did not blame because even Jesus was criticise by His own people and His brother never believed him when he was alive until after his resurrection..
like wise you will never believe in the man of God until you need a reason to do so...
Bible says "Touch not my anointing and do my prophet no harm".
so i advice you not to speak negative about any man of God..
Go and learn the repercussion of that when Moses Sister, Mariam said negative words concerning Moses. She became a leper immediately...
