A teacher of the Word is supposed to equip the flock with the Word of God and set their minds on things that cannot perish. But the false teachers are neglecting their primary and only assignments and chasing after the riches of this world. They are erecting mighty mansions when many Christians cannot even tell their right from their left in spiritual matters.

Of what use are massive church buildings when God does not live in houses made of stones? Of what use is gaining the whole world and losing your soul in hell? Of what use is having churches in every street corner when the average Christian is still wicked at heart and very fraudulent? Of what use are mighty buildings when the average politician is extremely corrupt and lacking a conscience?

You will find in these mighty and useless church buildings:

1. Politicians diverting funds meant for his community.

2. Pension bosses sitting on the pensions of workers.

3.A lawyer or a wicked uncle or aunty sitting on the inheritance of their wards, e.t.c.

Thousands of massive church buildings and sermons every Sunday and yet corruption is still pervasive. Poverty is still pervasive. Instead of feeding the flock, they are fleecing the flock.

I ask again: of what use are church buildings and private jets? Do they equip and edify the saints? Or they help to glorify the empire of the pastor? Do they advance the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of the pastor? Of what use are missionary schools that are not affordable? Of what use are these materialistic things that would perish one day? Why are pastors building church buildings instead of the Church?

It baffles me when people start talking about unrepentant criminal like Adeboye, in 2009 his church use to rake in 24m every Sunday from PH region, the criminal queried stagnancy of the amount and ordered transfer of some of the Pastors, set a new target of 30m weekly for the new Pastors.
Since that happening, I became very knowledgeable of Adeboye fraudulent activities. Shun those criminal, Yahoo boys de learn where Adeboye and the like are

[quote author=Rilwayne001 post=62283220]

He's only an example to upcoming fraudulent pastors who would use the name of God to enrich themselves while impoverishing their gullible sheeps.

I suppose Jesus is to be the major example to follow and not any supposed man of God, no? [/quote

Your knowledge is shallow. If you have ten of millions of people following you, how on earth are going to be poor.
Publicizing givings and alms is not scriptural that is why u will not see any genuine man of God doing that.

rich lawyer how are you helping the poor. everyone now criticizes pastors and the church just to stay relevant.

why not attack Muslim who rather than invest their savings back in Nigeria, take it to foreign land annually to go and pray.

Seriously, this is what you came up wiith. Instead of you grabbing the point Falana so deftly made you are directing him to muslims. Christians go off to Jerusalem too spend money while they there. How many Imams do you see parading private jets and opening universities even church members cant afford. Truth is a good number of your clergymen are seriously out for the money rather than serving their supposed caller. The pilgrimage is part of our faith and enjoined on us to perform when we can afford it. It is bad that Nigeria wastes its scarce forex (subsidized for pilgrims) on these religious ventures. But that is a different matter. What I want to know tho is this, why should a man of God live in such affluence when members of his congregation who pay tithes and offerings can't afford three ssquare meals.

I don't know when pastor turn to messiah of sinners,if your country is bad so it's the church that will use his money to build it .church members contributions it's meant for church expansion and taking care of less privileged within the church.No matter the online rant Christianity is growing and God is watching so falana advise is nothing.your hatred to EA adeboye won't change anything whom God as bless no one can bring down just go and get life for yourself.if you think it's easy create your own church and building school and roads all over the country

Most of us don't understand exactly what the church means or symbolises. Going by the comments some people, perhaps highly devoted members of a church, are of the opinions that churches don't owe anything to the society as long as we've got politicians. That maybe true, but not entirely. The crux of Christianity is mercy and generosity, as portrayed by Jesus Christ, and in the scenario where such is not exhibited, what else does the church or pastor have to show that he's indeed "Christlike"?!. Is it by building schools (from the nursery up to the university level) where the tuition gives it away as a school for a certain few. I mean there are so many private schools of standard quality who don't pay as high as schools like Faith Academy. So what is the reason for the unnecessary high school fee?!

If you know how amount of money these churches generate on a daily basis, then you'd understand why they're always under attack by very enlightened minds. But even their church members don't even care. Every Sunday they're ready to go the distance to church and give their mite without bothering about what they get in return.


Such works of piety is only done by Orthodox churches (Catholic, Anglican) but it's sad to note that a great member of these Pentecostals, and some of their pastors still have the effrontery to criticise them simply because they follow a more traditional doctrine which even forbids someone as high as the Archbishop of Lagos from owning a Private Plane.

Hakeem12:
After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to
work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and
fast.
So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm
seedlings and built a great factory of it.
While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology.
While we were praying, India went into ICT.
While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization.
While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive
infrastructural development.
While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological
development.
While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her
citizens.
While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was
mounting man on the moon.
After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according
to our labour.
Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural
development, ICT, education etc have been rewarded accordingly. It's
only wise God rewards us with our efforts in prayers.
That's why today, Nigerian pastors are competing in building the biggest
churches. That's why there are more prayer houses and worship places
than hospitals and schools. That's why people rush to prayer houses for
medical and business solutions instead of hospitals.
That's why we don't do business proposals before jumping into business
since we are going to back it up with prayers. And when it collapse, we
blame devil.
That's why it's a sin to say anything negative about pastors and imams.
That's why our pastors don't consider the opinion of engineers while
building and blame devil when building collapse.
That's why faith in God replaces building pillars and when it collapse we
blame it on Lucifer.
That's why our pastors are making sure they plant church branches
instead of schools in every streets in Nigeria.
That's why we always wait for God to do that which ability to accomplish
he has already handed over to us.
That's why we want our teachers to labour on earth and go to heaven for
their rewards.
Nigeria is a prayer loving, God fearing nation. Religion has taken the
place of technology, infrastructure, education and all.
When we are traveling, we ignore all the necessary road requirements,
servicing of our vehicles and pray. And, once we pray, we can put a half
fit vehicle on the road and blame our step mother or mother in law if
anything goes wrong.
That's why there are more people dying on our roads.
Because, we pray and fast and leave everything to God when God has
given us all we need to survive and build a nation.......
I hope it made sense to you.
Yours truly, Hakeem
this is a very beautiful writeup I must confess

You people have no single idea what our pastors are doing to help people, is it because they don't show it openly on TV? Is it because they don't show it on papers like some churches would do? It's very funny when you guys criticise d church... Thank God d more you criticise the more the gate of hell can't prevail and the church is moving...

So many questions... But would you allow God use you? Will you be ready to leave everything for the sake of the Gospel? Can God depend on you?
Or you just want to join the accuser of brethren?The great commission isn't only for the Adeboyes it is for all those who are saved bro.
Moreover, fault-finding is not a gift of the Spirit. Let's be a Solution not a problem announcer.

You know what u missed it. Hajj is not for money donation nor tithe offering. What ever amount you pay is for your own hospitality. You don't pay a dimme to saudi govt for coming for Hajj but to cater for yourself.
Nobody ask you to pay any amount for Allah to do something for you or forgive you. Allah is oft forgiven and merciful... and he gives to whom he will....

Of all the churches that I attended those years when I was still going to church, I did not come across any church that gave so much attention to tithing(money) than the redeemed xtian xc of God.
The preacher went as far as instilling this fear in us that even if someone sends u a gift from abroad, that u will have to find out the market value and bring the ten percent to the church. I was like, I don die, are u kidding me?? #thehustleisreal
