The developed nations achieve their goals based on government policy and regulations not religious, nigeria the difference is case, our government should be accountable for our present state as a nation not the church

This is Nigeria and not Europe, this is an underdeveloped nation and not a develop nation so we mustnt do what they are doing, also, we can start up a new trend with the church so others can follow. The money naija churches make can't be compared with other churches. Must we always copy? Let's be the first to start up developing Nigeria with the church money

In other words, you've insufficient funds for the project.

1. But did He not go ahead before announcing it last year?
2. What go ahead is he looking for, after announcing that he will embark on the project?
3. Don't you seek for divine go ahead, before even announcing that you are embarking on a project?
4. Why embark on a project and then stop mid-way saying that you are waiting for go ahead from God?

bezimo:
Thats one thing about my father and prophet Bishop David Oyedepo. He dont embark on any project except he gets the go ahead from heaven.
Thats one of the secrets to the success of the Winners chapel International.. doing things as commanded from above.

My new dawn indeed.

It amazes me how we run to the Old Testament to justify thing we do. Are we still building tabanacles? Are we still building temples? Then what did christ came for. Is'nt our body now the temple of God or am i not reading the bible correctly. Doing the work of God is good any day. After penticost they went about preaching the word and setting up people (churches) not mega structures. Let us remember to also reach out to the need. Let us continue to build organizations and industries that will employ and help the need and positively affect the economy. The missionaries came to Africa to help educate including oversea scholarship and expose us when Africa was poor. They built schoola and make it affordable for our forefathers to attend. Children of peasant farmers.They could have continue to build their mega structures and may be you and I will not be where we are today.

Everything Apostle Paul ever said he justified with the Old Testament.

Hautside:



Ofcourse there will always be the poor. Even in Jesus's days, there were poor folks(The widow with the best offering)... But, agree with me, most of the churches are profit oriented!!!! They do things, not for the masses, but to get profits!!! What happens to the expensive universities? when most of these pastors went to free missionary schools?? Dont just talk about standard or cost of maintenance here because missionary schools were the best and were maintained....We as Christians should learn to ask questions and not just follow churches the way we follow football clubs. Jesus never had a personal Donkey, He rode on a donkey for a purpose,Call it chattered but he never owned one!! Why will a pastor own 1,2,3,4 jets?? Warren Buffet who is even more busy than these pastors,never ever own a Private Jet!!!...Let me rest here!!!

I hope you know that Missionary schools were funded by governments. Up till 1950 the US was still sponsoring missionary activities so don't compare. Yale University was built by Methodist and today is a very expensive university. So yes education is expensive.

Secondly living faith owns just one jet.

Thanks @statsocial as usual.
It is funny when some individuals accuse churches for not getting rid of poverty among people.
Where exactly I should begin to lecture such people, I seem not to know, and as such, in most cases I'd rather distance myself from arguing with any.

But to hit it straight and head-on, the Owner of the church, Jesus Himself, didn't cure poverty of all the poor souls when He came.
What those people who argue in favour of the poor don't know is that, even the poor have a Scripture that 'justifies' their existence, but it is individual's choices to belong and then remain poor.
Deuteronomy 15:11 says the poor will always be in the land; God Himself said this, so anyone trying to fight the church for not making all the poor in the land rich should take the fight to God, and this same Scripture Jesus indirectly quoted saying you would always have the poor among you in John 12:8.

In Proverbs, it is said that the poor and the rich meet together, and that God made them both, not that God made them so.
It would never be possible that there won't be poor people on earth again, BUT it is always possible that you choose by yourself not to be poor or remain poor.

With all the billions in the country, why couldn't the government just share the money to everyone, so that there won't be any poor man again?
Kiyosaki painted what would happen if any government would ever do that to her citizens some years ago; he said before long, the money in the hands of those with choice or mentality of poverty will find its way back in the pocket of those who know how to attract money by offering solutions to problem.
To be poor is a state of life, to remain poor is a choice of life.

Summarily, Church can't terminate poverty in the lives of every countrymen for the reasons God alone knows according to Scriptures, but individuals have the number one choice to remain in penury. For example, that you give offering and tithe doesn't even mean you will still be very rich, there are many more laws that control riches than just giving money. Many Christians also miss it here and should blame their poverty on ignorance of how things work.

This is Amazing!

I think the church is spending money on rather useless things.

I see these winners people share flyers round my area. Once a woman was asked why they share flyers instead of helping people directly. Her useless reply was "these flyers would help people more" . In what way exactly?!

50billion is not small cash. They should have instead invested it in the lives of their members directly. Help some start up businesses and stuff like. That is when people would understand that God is working. Not building needless magnificent structures were only the very rich would get to sit at the fronts while the poor stay outside. It happens in Churches these days.

Jesus Christ didn't eradicate poverty, but He took care of His flock. He didn't ever set up one place of worship.

But these men of God these days just do stuff according to how they feel.

In 2015 or so, LFC allocated 500 million for their widows. Did you know about it You don't know everything about the church so let it rest.

seguno2:


Exactly.
Jesus Christ said that one should go into a quiet corner of his own room to pray to God instead of shouting at Him and showing off like the Pharisees.
Yet many people who claim to be Christians are behaving like the Pharisees, whom Christ castigated regularly.
Children of perdition being led by their gods of men.

Don't mind those businessmen masquarading as pastors. They are just after the money. Their ambition is to expand their business empires.

Wait a minute. Let me take a deep breath.
- When does a project start? from construction or from the plans? or from approval from the owners of the project?
- A man did a plan for a building without "divine approval"
- But the same man is saying that he is waiting for "divine approval" before construction can start.
- So who gave him permission to draw up the plan?
- Let make this simple for you. Julius Berger gets permission from government, even before they draw up a plan and the only reason they don't start construction, is because money hasn't been released. (permission-plans-permission-funding-execution)
- Does Julius Berger draw up plans, even before getting government approval and then announce that they can't start construction without government approval??

Did Solomon do a"fund raising" Was he a Pastor or prophet? How many Men of God was rich in the bible? Even Jesus wan born in a manger and to a carpenter... Solomon built the temple with "his personal money" ..Till date, he is the richest man in the world!!!

If I ask you.."Why are Nigerian Pastors rich"...You will tell me that as a christian,you are entitled to the good things of life but...

Read this: Matt 19 vs 23...Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

And when the church population exceed 100,000 then what? Abandon the stadium and start a bigger building?

You guys love quoting that "poor will always be in the land " ish

Didn't you read about the early church? What was the rational behind people selling their stuff and bringing the money to meet the need of others?

Why were 7 Deacons appointed? Was it not to see to members welfare? So why have our church leaders downplayed that all important aspect? The bible said they were in one accord. There was love. Inequality was greatly reduced. They became the envy of the world and the church grew. How many cathedrals did Peter and Paul build? They practically ran house fellowships and shared their things in common.

I understand the urge to possess the earth but brother let's face the truth. The time of building mighty cathedrals is gone. Now is time to build and invest in people .

Shalom

Are you aware of what churches are doing for the welfare of the society? Do you know what a church like House on the Rock has been doing for public schools in Lagos state over the years? Do you know what they have been doing for prisoners in Lagos prisons?

If there is anything quite easy to do, it is to criticise. You would agree with me.
Looking at some questions holistically,
Was Jesus criticized for his approach to ministry, not doing it the way of John the Baptist?
Yeah, very well criticized, what I would want you hold on to today is, regardless of how you run a ministry if you are a Pastor, there will always be some folks who feel some things you are doing are wrong. Take it or leave it.
But before you condemn, how sure are you that building those cathedrals you mentioned was not a divine instruction given to them?So why acting as if you are always in the know of divine instructions given to them.As much as I knew of Faith Tabernacle for instance, the prophecy for it came when there was not even a gathering of church numbering up to 15,000 congregation anywhere in this part of the world, nor when the church could build a 10,000 capacity. Would it not be unwise to think then that some men of God (not all) are building big churches because they want to show off?
What informed your assertion that some ministries are not investing in people or impacting lives? So from your 1,000 kilometers away, you quite know much how very un-impactful they are to people? I don't think there is any single ministry, either secular or religion that can meet the needs of all though, yet to think that they are not building people is ridiculous.


The truth is, there is more to what God could do than what foremost Apostles did. It would be very parochial to think that because Apostles didn't build big buildings you called 'cathedral', that it is a self-sponsored endeavour when few ones are doing it today. Even the Apostles were criticized and fought. Your criticism can't be the standard for knowing what is erroneous or outlandish.

We could have as well called all the men of God today dissenters, because they founded different denominations, after all, Apostles never started denomination thing!

Don't get me wrong, there are many so-called Pastors in errors, but there are also many who don't do things except God tells them to do it.

This you should know: become a leader, a coach, a pastor or a frontliner today and see if someone out there wouldn't tell you what you are doing wrong and how he can do it better than you.

Bros stop directing people to criticize government.
Even In the says of the early church there was human government and it fell short of expectations. God did not create human beings to be ruled by fellow humans and there will never be a perfect human government.

That the church is able to manage better schools and football club should tell you that the church is capable of doing far greater things given it's potential and resources.

All you listed above is a drop of water in the mighty ocean. The apostles didn't need the press to cover and publicize their giving ministry. It was real and the people spread it by word of mouth (most powerful channel) while preaching the gospel.

Bros the church is sitting on billions and I have had access to information to confirm this point.
If we believe that this world is vanity and we are mindful of eternity then why have we allowed materialism to engulf the church this much?

Do you think a bokoharam or ISIS member is concerned about building cathedrals and flying jets? All he wants Is to spread his ideology. How much more we who should be heavenly minded?

God did not create poverty. Human beings do when they refuse to share and redistribute wealth. And the church is in the best position to do that as exemplified by the early church

Practical love within the local church is the fastest way to win those souls not building mighty cathedrals.
The church organizations encourage members to give endlessly and then keep a large chunk of what is given. Why cant the church practice what she preaches? OR is there no more blessing in giving?

And before you claim people are attacking the church you need to realize that the church of Christ universal is a superset of your local church organizations/denominations led by your GO. The church is bigger than you think.

Almost all our GOs attended mission schools tuition free and then suddenly realize now that education is expensive. Who payed for their's? Was it not missionary bodies funded by Christians in Europe? Why can't these local churches do thesame? They didn't have to fast to get admission yet prescribe fasting for youngsters seeking admission today.

Bros the gospel is practical love that leads to Salvation. The earlier church organizations change strategy the better

Understand that the church of Christ is not your denominational church organization led by your GO.

Read Acts 1-3 account of the early church and you will agree that there is great disparity compare to our church denominations of today. Question is Why can't we practice it the way the apostles did it then?

OR do we now know more than the apostles who heard directly from Jesus?

If they received no offerings, no tithes, built no mighty cathedrals or amass unending wealth or ask people to sow money seeds and yet they could raise the dead, open blind eyes and make the dead hear then surely there is something wrong with this our generation that does all of the above without practical manifestation of the Apostolic anointing
