MsNgo40: Bros for every devotional I've see on whatsapp there is proper reference to the source and credit is always given to the author and the church. Only the content for the current day is broadcast Beside the posters don't sell or collect money in exchange for the broadcast. Is the open heavens money driven or impact driven? And who did the church obtain permission from before quoting all those Bible verses used in the message. Inasmuch as I understand that profit must be made, sharing the word should not be prohibited. I know RCCG church whatsapp groups that have defied this order and still shares the devotional daily. You cannot police cyberspace. Enough said already. |

onwards: The operative word, if you had read well, is “SANE country.” Of course one can not describe Nigeria as a sane country, if one is honest. A country that Fulani herdsmen terrorists butchered civilians for almost 48 hours and the President and citizens looked the other way, is no sane country. In a sane country, you can’t even photocopy clips of textbooks as we do in Nigeria, without “accepting” some legal terms. In a sane country, publishing when you do not have the rights, is called piracy. Have a great Sunday. |

In a sane country, you can’t even photocopy clips of textbooks as we do in Nigeria, without “accepting” some legal terms.

The church should allow free sharing of devotionals so far it's not for monetary gains. This clarifies and reflects the spirit behind the church's efforts of publishing such devotional- to spread the gospel or otherwise. When the disciples saw a man preaching, praying and healing people in Yashua's name they try to stop him and informed yahshua about it, yahshua answers leave him alone, he is helping to spread the gospel, he is not an enemy. MARK 9:38-40 38“Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” 39“Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40for whoever is not against us is for us.

madridsta007:You are STILL very wrong. All these unrelated stories are a poor attempt to 'strawman' the fact. In a SANE country, taking and posting sections of the Open Heavens Devotional on whatsapp is perfectly and uncontestably LEGAL. Please read up the 'Fair Use policy' and stop talking out of tune. As for the rest of the sentiment-laden portions of your post, they are inconsequential to this discourse. |

onwards: Sentiment-laden. Lol. I clearly stated, “sane country”. Did you see that? Seems the use of English is lost on you— and I can appreciate this. English isn’t the black man’s natural forte. Suddenly, “copyright infringement”, “copyright laws” and piracy means nothing. Suddenly, “unauthorised publishing” is right. Because this is clearly your point. Well, in an insane society, nothing really means anything, really. You are right. Have a great day. I have no more to say to you. |
Re: Unauthorised Publishing Of "Open Heavens Devotional" Is Illegal - RCCG by onwards: 2:45pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
madridsta007: You are the one who is parading ignorance gallantly. Do you have cognition problems? If no, then please take out time to READ and hopefully understand copyright laws before you embarrass yourself irredeemably in public someday. SANE countries developed the fair use exemption policy SANE countries have established what constitutes copyright infringement SANE countries have provided free resources for you to educate yourself thoroughly. But you have chosen to ignore all of that and let the INSANE (in your words) country influence your zeal for ignorant conclusions. I will not spend another text trying to educate you beyond this retort. After all, your flawed opinion cannot supercede a grounded section of the law. Let the Church sue and we'll see if they don't have their case thrown out into the wild. 1 Like |

The RCCG has totally lost it with this Memo. It is a bad dent to the entire church. The question are: 1. Did the GO approve this Memo which will give the church bad publicity? 2. When did Sharing the word of God become illegality to RCCG? Isn't the church in existence to propagate the word? Isnt sharing the devotional helping in this cause? 3. Isn't monies paid as tithes, offerings and first fruits meant to augment or take care of church cost? What then do they do with the tithes and offerings? 4. Is the RCCG paying royalties or making reference for portions lifted from the Bible and used on the devotional? RCCG is absolutely money conscious by this stance. Members should resist this by not paying tithes if the tithes are not used for their administrative purposes. |

One of these days, you people should tell us what the church did to you. Then we shall compare the “crimes” to Fulani Herdsmen terrorists or Badoo gang to find out who got a let off. People are funny. Spending time arguing online isn’t a skill of mine. It can be so tiring. I appreciate though, others may have that skill— and time! Have a great day.

But most of the texts written in the Open Heavens devotional are Bible verses copied from the King James Bible right. I hope the RCCG had a written permission from the Author of the Bible? |

BrutusOj: I actually prefer Open heavens to ODM. I used ODM before, i skipped alot of things i am being asked to do on the devotional being from an orthodox church. Eg, asking me to speak in tongues. I find open heavens more interesting because it feels like reading a sermon or an exhortation. |
