Not as irresponsible as your omni-incompetent god

Well God might have said called them to ministry but I honestly see a sharp derailing from that call in some men of God.Especially the PROSPERITY PREACHERS,no doubt PROSPERITY is good and biblical,Joseph of Arimathea who paid 4 Jesus' burial was a rich man.so the Bible doesn't condemn prosperity,but that is not the FOCUS of THE BIBLE.these days preachers have left Salvation and Holiness to focus on prosperity.Prosperity in the hands of a sinful man will only make him more sinful and land him in Hell.Prosperity cannot save .

I don't respond in criticism, rather in correction as it is (i.e., the title and adoration of "papa", "spiritual father", etc typically conferred upon many a pastor) too prevalent in Naija.

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." - Matthew 23:9

poor thinking. Do you believe adebayes is better than you? Don't take this men of God special believe you are the best in the world

that is why I respect and pray for similar grace to excel like PST adeboye

majekdom2:
and these ignorant congregations have chains of businesses and are doing all well.

You mean those pursuing prosperity by looting directly from govt coffer or abandoning contract projects?

donnie:


Yes Pa Elton was also mentor to the late Arch Bishop Idahosa who was in fact present at the conference in Benin.

And to your Answer above... Thank you, i agree with you.

God bless you.

Any link I can read up on Pa Eltons' life before nigeria?

They are motivational speakers and businessmen who reap bountifully from their efforts.

They are not men of God. Only God knows who serves him.

Nothing about these hustlers points to God.

Invoking the name of Jesus does not equate to being a man of God. The decline of oil prices in 1981 sent Nigeria's economy in a tailspin under Shagari. Things were really rough. It threw up prosperity preachers who sold allure of wealth to impoverished and gullible followers. Thus, Oyedepo, Adeboye and Oyakhilome' hustle was born. Necessity is the mother of invention.

And the wealth? Well Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire as an atheist.

donnie:
This thought has been on my mind for several years now having listened to the testimonies, biographies and read articles by and about these three great ministers of God whose ministries began in Nigeria but and are touching lives around the world. What happened in 1981?

Perhaps a special wind from God blew across Nigeria in 1981, resulting in the move of the Spirit that is currently shaking several nations with millions of faithful spread across the world.

According to Wikipedia, Enoch Adejare Adeboye (born 2 March 1942 in Ifewara, Osun State, Nigeria) is a Nigerian pastor. He was ordained General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in 1981, taking over from Papa Akindayomi, who had died the previous year. Since his taking over leadership, the growth and spread of the RCCG around the world has been simply phenomenal. All it takes for a rccg church to grow is to have a venue and signage and people will troop in. That's simply called GRACE.


I heard the Man of God Rev Dr Chris Oyakhilome, President of Believers Loveworld (aka Christ Embassy) speak of how that in 1981, the Lord spoke to him saying, "Take my divine presence to the peoples and nations of the World. This vision he has diligently pursued since then. Those who have been close to him will tell you that he carries that presence. It's in all he does...everything he touches grows to become number1. There is no place like the Healing School of Christ Embassy in this world. Rhapsody of Realities has grown to be the number1 most translated book in the world after the bible with over 862 languages; distributed in every nation and territory of the World. By end of 2017, they'd have distributed over 1Billion copies since inception.

I told someone that if the antichrist doesn't know Pastor Chris and Christ Embassy yet, he is still a learner.

Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church (winners chapel) is unapologetic in his praise and adoration of the Lord who called and prospered him and sent him to prosper others. With massive intimidating church structures, Universities, etc, he continuously provokes the world to envy as he displays what Faith in a living God can do in one's life.

He too received a mandate from God through an 18-hour vision in May 1981, to liberate the world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith.


Now I ask again, what happened in 1981?

Recently, I was in a Pastor Chris and Benny Hinn meeting where Pastor Chris talked about a conference he attended in 1980 with Pa S.G. Elton a great minister of God and a Briton in Benin. Could that be it? The man S.G. Elton was said to have prophesied in that meeting concerning this move of God from Nigeria to the world and gave marching orders to the young people who came from around the country.

Could that be it? I also read that Pa Elton influenced the ministries of Pastor Oyedepo and Pastor Adeboye greatly.

So let me know what you think

Christians only please. Atheists, Muslims, busybodies; please your opinions are not welcome. Thanks!

God works in us.. He is working in them, His grace is boundless. nice observation

Glory to God! I celebrate these servants of the Most high declaring the kingdom of God on earth. God has been faithful to their callings and there are many things we can learn from them.

For every nation, there are valid prophets and these ones have expressed the fulness of God's grace.

I bring to you goodnews of God's salvation through Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you.

For some of us who don't have the experience of His GRACE and hitting it hard on this thread- the word of the cross is like foolishness. The carnal man can't decipher the things of the spirit.
I pray for a conviction from the Holy Spirit.
Praise God!

Bro/sis, you are always attacking Christians.

I rarely see you attacking atheists and Muslims, but Christians.

It's confusing, because you said you are a Christian.

Is there something wrong somewhere?

Pls name one Christian that I've attacked

You tell me? Which Christian have i attacked?

What happened in 1981 is called a REVIVAL according to Isaiah :32:15 and Isaiah 2:2, just as it was after the Holy Ghost descended and God massively lunched the ministry of the Apostles who were commanding exploits across the nations. Can also be likened to the Azusa Street Revival of April 9 1906. Thankful to be a witness of this strong move of God as according to Bishop David Oyedepo, the Ark of Revival has landed on our shores!!!!

No wonder, I have always thought I am special, I was born that year!!!

Boy, come now, you put the 'all gods are silly' bit as an afterthought, to make sure you don't appear silly. Lol.

Anyhow, being a pseudo-intellectual agrees with you. Keep at it.

And you consider yourself to be super intellectual for believing in flying chariots, talking snakes and donkeys

Hahahahah

Delusion is indeed addictive

Some other Nigerians were certainly there but only the three followed the calling. May God help us to pay the price of our destiny.

In 1981 three con artists were unleashed unto Nigeria

Never to solve any major problem but to give false hope and exploit the gullible, mostly illiterate, masses thus amassing huge wealth enough to ensure they drive in luxury cars, wear the best clothes, move around with tight security while "preaching" to their gullible members to give everything they have to them while they wait for the promise of a heaven that they did not even bother to provide a picture or address of

You missed unicorns, not just any unicorns...the kind which can fart rainbows. Oh..centaurs too. Unicorns and centuars, add that to the list of things I believe in.

How does one get addicted to delusion though? LMAO.

All right, you're the modern day Da Vinci, the reincarnation of Einstein. Alan Turing has nothing on you. You're all of that rolled up into something so fluffy and adorable.

There, you've got the much sought after validation from me, run along now.

You'll be all right, okay?

Talking about Pastor Chris, what did the Bible say about marriage, and does the Bible support divorce, if he's truly a man of God he shouldn't have divorce his wife, taking about the Rhapsody of Reality, i do read it sometimes but to be frank, i didn't gain alot, i only respect Pastor Adeboye in that group and I do read his open heavens devotional guide because it's so enriching
and my beloved Pastor Kumuyi who was called earlier, his daily manna for adults and higher everyday for youths are what a Christian should have to run the race effectively.

Nice one op.
It's sad when I notice that most believers aren't sound when it comes to history.
The moves of the Spirit within nations has character-peculiar requirements, time frame, covering...
Pa Elton practically influenced the lives of all Church greats today- late Pa Idahosa, Kumuyi, Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oyakhelome... These happen to have influenced others as they went- Bakare, Abioye, Oritsejafor...
Most times- even in Scripture, the Spiritual move lasts 30 human years before it is established and multiplied. So, expectedly once an anointed vessel runs with a mandate for 30 years, it's expected that he reproduces. So, a generation will have 30-40 years to maximize their God given grace and hand over to the next.
David, moses, Daniel, christ, paul- all showed The same signs.
Now if your were born from 1979 to the late 80s, its expected that you take the spiritual posture-the mantle should have shifted from the Fathers to their sons.
The great American prophet Bob Jones prophecied these same things back in 1978. It's left for us to see it and take our place. The final lap will not be run by our anointed fathers but by their sons.

Thanks bro. And their sons have taken off already

from what I heard when I was serving, It was also his prophecy that birthed Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF)

correct

bigtt76:
1981 was the year when people realized others could be made gullible by twisting the Bible to suit their needs. Have you noticed that back then most church posters have the perceived image of Christ, Angels and cross? Nowadays it's the images of the pastor's and their wives adorning such posters meaning they now rely on their own personality than of Jesus Christ in hoodwinking the congregation.

And you think that those pictures of Christ and angels are scriptural?

buJu234:
I think the yr 1981 was when the young men and women of Africa saw that the Holyspirit can work through a fellow black native African that's the person of the Archbishop B.A idahosa because the 1980s was when Idahosa ministry was in his prime.

@op not only these 3 men of God oo there are hundreds of others in several african countries that caught that fire too, including Richard Bonnke
