Akpacha:
Beautiful structures with money of d wretched.

the "wretched" as u call them are richer than u. The bible says in psalm126, those that sow in tears shall reap in joy, they shall DOUBTLESS come back rejoicing with their harvest. The bible also says that God is not unfaithful to forget their labour of love so unless u want to tell me to believe u over my Bible, sit and learn.

This is what Nigeria needs now. the gospel is life educating business that is required for all round human development. keep up the good works.

AngelicBeing:
I agree, if Oyedepo ever becomes the president of Nigeria, you will see a replication of canaanland all over the country, several politicians will be in jail but Oyedepo will never venture into politics

yeah,he won't ,sad

remove your mind from the gutter of darkness and deceit. America has countless shelters, go and ask D people living in them, if their lives are any better. You think shelter is D solution to the world's problems The bible says it's God who raises the poor out of the dust. Pls be quiet and allow the word of God dominate this country because that is the only way forward

Shut the hell up.You want to compare lives of Nigerians with lives of Americans with fewer religious houses??What do you even mean with the if their lives are better.California has the 6th highest Gdp in the whole world and you think the lives of avg Nigerians is better than those living in california.Go read a book or something and get enlightened

If God resides now in our hearts why the need for super structures...
How about industry and improving daily living...jobs and careers, funding agriculture, education, health and advancement in tech.
If the Church Leadership really cares about it's members, these structures will not be the goal.
The church has a fantastic opportunity in numbers to pull crowd funding for realistic projects instead the focus is on building this and that.
Build lives, give sustainable livelihood.

Physical temple was destroyed when Jesus Christ came .Then he made our body his temple. So Modern temple is waste of resources and time. Today's Church does not provide amenities .They are being selfish. The Bible says freely you receive and freely you will give. Any Church collecting offerings and tithes are robbing the members .Any pastor collecting salary is selling the truth. Gospel is not meant to be sold.love of money is the root of all evil

That’s only what NIGERIA is good at.
The only INDUSTRY that works efficiently.

If you try to locate places in Nigeria, on google map, you will discover that there are NO INDUSTRIES.....rather you will find worship centers especially CHURCHES scattered everywhere.

What stops this Pastor from erecting an industrial edifice for himself and employ his capable members...??
He knows he may not be able to run such.
He knows, this church is already TAX FREE...

They are scared of businesses and taxes, yet they drill frustrated members to pay TITHES regularly.
NIGERIA is very Far from being Great
CRIME can only get worse.
Who knows the next level...??

The winner's chapel has over 23,000 people on payroll. Dunamis Church (DIGC) has over 5 million members.
Over to you, which state govt has close to that and are regular with their monthly salaries?
Just a fact!

Nonsense

Christianity has no word like " Jihad" in its entire scriptures so what are you talking about. I strongly advise that you use words that you know it meaning.

This, no matter how true it sounds could be extremely one-sided.
1. To say, there are NO industries on Nigeria's google is a bloated exaggeration(and I know you now)

2. While it is important & undoubtedly necessary for these pastors to give back to the community, Human beings are insatiable.
Oyedapo has two of the best schools in Nigeria, with diverse less popular industrial establishments; what do people say:
"It's tithe money, why won't he build schools his members can't afford."

It's the way of people to point fingers. Apart from a moral ground, a pastor necessarily has NO obligation to build industries or provide employment for citizens of a country. Now, that is not exaggerated

ridwanaminu:
Churches are now everywhere thereby replacing factories that could create badly needed employment

Ask your political leader, Church leaders are on and about God's business. Let those you elected be on and about making our industries work.

Frankyboy1:
Praise God, proud to be alive in this day and time of the manifestation of his glory, God's name be praised and Jesus exalted in all the earth

Too bad, church leaders build more physical church structures rather than building the heart of man(d real Church) u r happy.?... Christians have missed d light!

Instead of them to be dedicating factories..

wow! Powerful auditorium. You can also check out Hot prayer zones, Online Deliverance Ministry.

sammychimex:



You that is not being sucked dry how much is your account balance. The only proof of wisdom is prosperity so if you are not richer than the people you accuse you need to humble yourself and learn get wisdom from them

By your logic then Dangote is wiser than your pastor.

chilisauce:
These are the kinda developments we celebrate in Nigeria while the rest of the world is celebrating scientific, technological breakthroughs, health milestones, innovative feats etc.

We're getting more religious while we get poorer and experience retrograde development.

Not hating but I feel sad for Africa.

Longest bridge in west Africa, largest shopping mall in Nigeria, biggest church auditorium, first community borehole, yen yen yen. Las las we deserve what we get. WYSIWYG

dont bring the church into ur rant...

it's impossible for a church to spurn industrial growth of a country

this solely depends on the technology policy of a goverment..

our engineering in d country is nxt to ntin coupled with embezzled natural resources

there is no magic any prophet can perform

BIXYBABE:

Even those that never get penny let alone going to church will say Pastors have sucked them dry

Na that one dey surprise me pass. They won't take responsibility for their lives is to be looking for who to blame

yvelchstores:
this was exactly what Judas said. That the perfume poured on Jesus feet was a waste and could have been sold and the money given to the poor. Rebuke the voice of Satan over your head. Stop being influenced by the devil. The temple of God is never a waste. Renew your corrupted mind.

Shut the hell up.
You appreciate these things but will take vacations in France and dubai where things work. All you do here is pray pray pray.

Even the devil can not stop this...the gate of hell shall not prevail

I remember when this building was started, that was 2-3yrs ago and they said it will be completed in 2018. Now it has come to pass. This is the same Nigeria where we have been told several times that we will have stable power by so so year and it never happened. I know for sure that some government officials @ various level do worship here and they must have made everything possible to contribute their own to ensure completion of this edifice... But they can never do it when it comes to government projects..... I weep for this country.....

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. And we have the richest Pastors in the world.

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 we already have in 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 we have all we need to survive and build a nation....... I hope it made sense to you

If you like build 500,000 capacity auditoriums all over the country and pray all you want, as long as there's no jobs. You won't see shishi.

Thanks be to God. Anyone is free to say anything but I'm happy to see this.

Who told you the members who contributed money to build the edifice are jobless.

Well this is just the beginning of Church Occupation Maranatha

Geosystem:
I will be there

me too.

Dunamis runs 6 services every Sunday at the headquarter church in Area 1, Abuja.

wisdom demands that they build this Glory Dome that can contain every worshiper in just one service.

good idea.

the main reason God created man is to worship Him...

...factories will come, jobs will come.

the bible says, seek ye first the Kingdom of God [in righteousness]...

...and every other thing will be added unto thee

Churches are being built with billions of Naira but we are the poverty capital of the world.Father Mbaka has Aqua Rapha factory in Enugu and has thousands of people in his payroll.Instead of using that money to establish An edifice,he invested it in people and has the largest Catholic following in Enugu.Not that such has made him God or anything but he has drawn more people to God at least via people going for his prayers etc.He invested in people,took away unemployment from so many and still goes about his normal activity.Imagine having at least 3 churches doing so in every state out of thousands of churches,many people will be off the street,have money in their pockets,will draw many people to God and still maintain status quo.Why we never get sense in this world??

Na this kind thing we for dey carry first.

To God be the glory.
