Tomoarika:
So nobody noticed the 2011 in the report?

Nodogragra4me:




Bishop Oyedepo, in an interview made a very profound statement about church financing .... be sure the project is commanded by God. God has a running budget for every agenda of his on the earth and he passes through those who allows themselves to be used , the sheeple to deliver the funds. Be sure of who commanded it for he is the owner of the cattle on a thousand hil.

God can't rain money down from heaven but through those who have subscribed to be money missionaries he sends in the money. It is the major reason the church targets the poor and downtrodden during evangelism.... they want people who can trace when the new era began


This is the church that humbled me for life ... I head a unit where security top goons that would have taken me aeons to meet in persons are under me and I never knew this ...when I decided to ask every one to introduce themselves and what they do I was flabbergasted... no special chair for them , judges carrying waters for ordinary people in the sanctuary units , do you know how many directors of state ministries that are working as sanctuary unit members ..cleaning toilets and arranging the seats


I just want to add that this church has no pastors partnership programs where People becomes partners and give large sums for work ... you can t partner God for ordinary wealth ...ther is no launching , no bazaar , no raffle draws and other gimmicks you find elsewhere ....he said the day God commissioned the church he launched it so no need for another launching

The heaven and the earth are his

Gwarinpa estate built by late sanni Abacha is still the biggest housing estate with 28,000 units of duplexes

TheVictorious Themandator pls help ask if this is just for Church members because I downloaded the forms for buying and they were asking what cell or WSF something I belong to.

Deo1986:
Didn't Jesus said my kingdom is no part of this world? And store up treasure in heaven? Acquiring earthly possessions means that these pastors dont even believe in the heavenly stuff.

Bobby4090:
Where does this Winners Chapel get all these their money from. Even Redeemed and Catholic Church are not as rich as them. How can a church have 4 private jets, several Universities and all their buildings are massive. Now they are building a 15,000 unit estate. Thats like four times the number of houses in Festac. Is it a Church or an incorporation. I was once visited Covenant Univeristy with a neighbour and believe you me even OAU is not as beautiful and well organised as that school.
Where are our tax masters, isnt it time to start taxing these big corporations that masqurade as churches?

Statsocial:

Poly you had to quote all that just to say this!




I see someone asking that Churches be taxed since they have plenty money. See you've gotten it all wrong, you can't tax churches successfully unless they agree to it. Living Faith UK remits nearly about 1 million pounds to Naija HQ I think every month out of 4 million pounds they receive-even UK govt must be alarmed lol

If you move to try and tax most of these churches they could move HQ to USA where Churches are tax exempted by law. And you would lose all the inflow of Cash coming towards churches like LFC, RCCG, Christ embassy in Nigeria. Do you know what that would do to the Nigerian economy if for example that about 1 million pounds from UK and others like UAE, US and over 60 countries are diverted to another Country or if the church moves her money from Nigerian banks to foreign ones. Some banks would just crash! RCCG has over 700 branches in UK and I am sure some of that money branches Nigeria too and that is why you would discover that the Nigerian recession did not affect these following churches LFC,RCCG, MFM, Deeperlife, Christ embassy because money is coming in different currencies from multiple countries at the same time. Same with Catholic Churches too they make so much money from US branches that it essentially pays the bill.

Just compare the Loyola Jesuit College built by New York Catholic faithfuls in Abuja to Catholic Universities like Veritas then you would understand that the real wealth lies in Western nations.



Living faith 2010 expenditure is three times the 2016 Igr of the entire South East, more than twice that of Ogun(I got this by multiplying LFC's monthly Tithe to RCCG, which is 1.5 billion x 12 x 10) but there is nothing you can do about it.

The financial strength of these Churches aren't from Nigerian Tithes and Offerings but their many branches in UK, Qatar, USA, Netherlands etc.. That is where the real cash comes from. So if you want to tax them you would need to persuade them to pay voluntarily. Don't even get me started with RCCG's wealth. By the way LFC still has over 16,000 employees so mehn these are Nation Churches!
They've been growing intensively internationally!

Though Oyedepo says he is open to taxation as long as Mosques are taxed too. But we Christians shall never agree to it because taxation could easily kill off many Orthodox Churches.

Nigerians should look on the big bright side of this. According to BBC, Ota alone records 1 million dollars in transaction every Sunday due to LFC worshippers thronging Canaanland. What about the Universities? There is much foreign church money in it so in many ways the Churches are developing the Country

Lastly this project has nothing to do with Churches trying to save face from freeze lol. The permission to commence the Lafenwa - Ayobo road was granted in 2014 by Ogun Govt.

Spaxon:
All those Anti-Pastor people where art thou?

Misheaeew

Is He not better than those in government collecting ur taxes?

TheVictorious:


I doubt it is only for church members but there's probably no way to verify true Christians yet. There will surely be provision for that as time goes on

lexy2014:
so y are some people making comments as if winners is doing anyone a favour with this venture?

Nodogragra4me:



Bishop Oyedepo doesn't know I exist let alone an inconsequential character like freeze ... a man that is scarcely around will have time to read about the opinions of a certain freeze ...this man doesn't even know about the existence of Some reigning pastors.

gregyboy:


who is telling you such trash are you is son or brother to know how busy he could be even the God he is serving is not so busy that he doest watch over is people so who is a oyedepo condemnation spread faster than praise my friend mentions with proves

Themandator:





This statement is for the Catholic Church ....there is a Store in Lourdes France that houses artifacts confiscated from Christians and Jews who refused to bow to the authority of the pope ...they refused to accept that a man is infallible simply because they could not find any support for it in the scripture..... the Vatican has over a 1000 room and has the most expensive Cellings on earth .... let me stop here ...go and read


That small paintings from Micheal Angelo went for how much, the other day?

Deo1986:
You are way out of point boy, how does seized properties and artifacts and paintings connect with amassing wealth on earth? Beside, is christianity supposed to be divided? I am pointing out how christians lifestyles contradict with christs teachings and you are spewing trash.

mentorandfriend:


Big fat lie. Where did you get the 28,000 housing units figure from?

Themandator:



WSF is Winners way of knowing their members ...it is the fellowship that holds every Saturday by 5 pm in homes of members ..you are expected tp join the one closet to you.

There is no offering just teaching th word and getting to know the members close to you in case you need assistance

gregyboy:


who is telling you such trash are you is son or brother to know how busy he could be even the God he is serving is not so busy that he doest watch over is people so who is a oyedepo condemnation spread faster than praise my friend mentions with proves

TheVictorious:


Lool, you didn't understand my point. I mean Christians of other denominations

Themandator:



You can't see how it connects because you are clever by half ...a man is building residential quarters and you came in with earthly kingdom nonsense and I point out to you that the Catholic Church is the sect that you should be advising on earthly possession ...it is the biggest landlord and landowner on earth and also the biggest capitalist in the world. Jesus was never a president or earthly king but the pope runs a country without legislatures or parliament ....did he inherit it from Jesus Christ or it so called First pope, Peter?

Christianity is not divided ....Redeeem is not didived against Winnners or Dunamis, Christ Embassy, Salvation Ministry but against the the one that has it foundation in dogmas that can't be supported by the Bible .... Catholic Church is not a Christian group hence we evangelize them to bring them out of the grip of the goddes they call Mary

Our Criticism is working.
Please let us not stop....
But this still looks so much like real Estate business.
Okay.
What do I know?
At least some people will get work and get paid.
Welcome development.

Deo1986:
Such myopic reasoning, so you know better than an organization that existed for 1500 years before protestant came up? A religion that brave all sort of storms to bring the light to you now need redeeming eh? A religion that sacrificed blood, sweat and tears to fight of islam incursion is in the grip of a Goddess abi? I do not blame you, i will only allow my Goddess to take care.
