You will still say he used church money to build industry for himself and that his salary for his staff is poor. You can never please humans like you. God help you

You know them..when the churches build schools they will complain that the fee is too much..they want the fees to be subsidised like that of government schools(which are getting even more expensive these days)..as if the schools have access to oil money like those owned by the government..

agadam:
see our tithe money at work

At least it is working. If your government was working half as this won't you be happy?

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

I think you should direct your comments to our senators and house members who get up to 30m+ monthly...at least these pastors touch some lives. How many lives have the politicians changed with their 7+ figure salaries monthly?.

the bible says the poor you will always have with you. So because there are poor people the church should have services under the mango tree? And pls don't say in this age cos the word of God is living and doesn't go out of date. Tanku

No one says services be held under a mango tree but what is the use of wasting so much money on erecting an edifice? That the church gets a lot of donations is not enough reason for it to be extravagant.

What matters is the soul and not a mere building. The apostles thought more about the poor. They had wealthy followers but the money went mostly to the poor in Jerusalem while fellowships were held in one another's houses or in public buildings.

that was the early infant church. The church has grown ever since. Do u think all the monies are put just for building? If it was a stadium that was elected no body will talk. Why do u think God doesn't deserve state of the art building. Why will u prefer that at the end of the world, when previewing all the magnificent structures men put up, churches can't be found amongst them? If u are a Christian pls understand, the church is under attack. Don't join them to attack the body of Christ. PS, there is a problem if u can put the words waste and edifice for God in one sentence. He created D whole world, he is riches personified. If u want to say this is extravagance, that means God is an extravagant God because the streets of heaven are paved on PURE GOLD bro.

The new Jerusalem is indeed said to be overlaid with gold but the essence of the description is to take your minds away from earthly treasures and put it on heavenly treasures but as usual, you people are misinterpreting that scripture and using it to support what that scripture is trying to condemn.

Look at how the gold of heaven were described. It is not a matter of extravagance but of purity. The gold are pure gold and they signify treasures that cannot be corrupted. God wants us to yearn for these heavenly treasures that cannot be corrupted.

That heaven is made of gold does not mean that God is extravagant or that He wants you to start building your houses with gold.

You need to pray for the Holy Ghost when you study the Word otherwise, the truth will be lost on you and your interpretation of the Word will be influenced by your love for the world.

of course, but while interpreting what the gold signifies, it's still GOLD. Look at the men in the Bible God worked with, they were not small men, they were not POOR, Papa Abraham, David and the likes. God is not a small God, end of story. Let's stop promoting mundanity and before u go there, let me land u, Jesus was born in a Manger, not to promote poverty but because the inns were fully occupied as Joseph and Mary had to take an emergency trip fleeing from the king. All the men God worked with were not poor. Don't come and say but they were not building 100,000 sitter capacity halls. They also didn't have flat screen then. Bottom line, this is a win for US, the children of GOD! The devil is mad at this. U shouldn't be too.

Is d progress of d church measured by d no of magnificent buildings they are able to erect? I thought Jesus said something about d emphasis of d church moving from buildings made by d hands of men to building d lives of men?

And how did the building of the life of men equate to building industries?
This church in question runs 2 service on Wednesday mid-week service (i have never seen that kind one before). They run 7 live building services on Sunday due to space constraints. Now they decided to build a structure that will sit all the built and building lives at a time, and you are complaining.
So you prefer that they be renting eagle square every Sunday and Wednesday to build lives abi?

MarianaTrench:


Mr man religion is the biggest scam of all time... that's the main reason why the African continent is the most backward.

List the 10 most developed countries and list the 10 most religious countries.

About 80% of the most religious countries are on the African continent but not even one of them is among the 10 most developed economies in the world.

You religious type need to get your heads out of your asses and face reality.

Religion plays no part whatsoever in socio and economic development of a country!

To make matters once Christianity which you people hold on to so much is not even an African religion... the original proponents of the religion have since moved on cos they have realised that the time for religion has passed but you guys are still in self inflicted darkness cos you want to be more Catholic than the Pope and more Anglican than the Archbishop of Canterbury!!!

Hmmm. i wont take you on the lecture of jow Christianity has developed the world and the so-called none-religious countries you referred to.
But thanks to your good mention that thoes countries have moved forward and abandoned Christianity after it developed them and not becasue it did not work for them.
I will strongly advise you go to TB Joshua, Shiloh, Mercyland, etc and see the numbers of foreigners that come there to seek the God that have been abandoned in their home countries.

OkaNaUbe:


Along airport road. There needs to be a pedestrian bridge constructed close to that church to ease pedestrians crossing to the other side (towards Abuja city gate) to their various destinations.

the church has sought for permission to do that already

ozento:
this is not true. the apostolic church at olrunda ketu has over 100,000 capacity. so what are they saying?

is it completed and with a covered roof? I think that is what they meant

Yankee101:


At least it is working. If your government was working half as this won't you be happy?

Thank you brother.

If only we can see the government do half of what the church is doing...

theoldpretender:
I'm sorry, but speaking as a born again Christian....this edifice is not to the glory of God.

It is amonument to Man.

There are a lot of problems with the Church of God in Nigeria. And sadly we are not facing the enemy within....we are busy facing the enemy outside.

In Nigeria today, many Christians are involved in looting, stealing, lying,supporting the corrupt, backbiting, tribalisim,hatred, murder, yahoo plus, etc. And our pastors are not saying anything about it.

Instead all they do is play aggresive tribal poltics so that their nests stay feathered.

Now,it is not the Church's job to build industries, to build roads, housing for the poor,etc.

No,it is the church's job to be the LIGHT....so that men can see their evil ,repent and turn around and change society.

Yet,I have not seen the Church change society.

Instead, the church has become so worldly wise....that we can no longer see good fromevil.

It is time to repent. God is not pleased with us. That is why herdsmen, boko,economic crisis, etc is disturbing us...it is chastisment for the refining of the Body so that we may be presented spotless and pure on the Last Day. Until we repent...God will not hear us.


The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise (Psalm51 vs17)

go and listen to this man of God here. You can search on YouTube for messages like "the essence of Christianity" the matter of grace" "the tragedy of evil money" "the iniquity of sin" etc before you can say this. This church runs six over flooded services every Sunday, don't you think they need a larger hall? Go to area 1 church every last Friday and see how people overflow to the road seeking for fellowship with the brethren under harsh weather. What's wrong with getting a place to accommodate all if the means is available. Our problem is we judge from the outward. You see, this church has never posted any pictures of this building since its project began neither did they broadcast it online, this is done by other people who want to inform the society so what exactly will you say is the problem of the church here?

This is why Africa will never grow

only 3.6billion Naira?
Church workers get paid
Orphans are on scholarship
Widows are being fed
IDPs always get visited
The church runs constant electricity
TV channel is free to air and millions goes out for that
etc

Oluwalifted:
Get your record straight, the first 100,000 seaters church was built by The Apostolic Church at Olorunda Ketu, Lagos and was commissioned by Ayo Oritsejafor years back.

even now one phillipine church is on record the largest with 55k capacity. That Apostolic Church may not be an auditorium but a temple(or tent)

You are getting a lot of things wrong here.

You don't seem to know the difference between modesty and poverty. You also don't seem to know the difference between being wealthy and being extravagant.

When I say that pastors should be modest, I am not saying they should be poor.

Having the biggest church auditoriums only glorifies men and not God.

When the disciples were carried away admiring the temple that Solomon completed, Jesus said "these buildings". He didn't call it the House of God because God no longer lives in houses of stones and wood. He now lives in our hearts.

Flatscreen TVs, private jets and church auditoriums only attract men. They are not a win for Christians except in the eyes of the world. These things will not take you to heaven so how can they be a win? It is your heart that attracts God. The angels rejoice when a person genuinely repents. They don't rejoice when a mansion is built in the name of Church.

The architecture is just amazing...
To the OP, please kindly share the interior let me learn one or two things from it.

Thanks.

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...??

Will the industry employ nonbelievers?
God can also call other people to industrial ministry and church or pastor doesn't have to erect a full working society for the sake of jobless folks.

Still vomiting gibberish..I ask again, those churches in America and Europe, were they responsible for the industries you see there?? You nigerians will continue to wail and gnash your teeth because of misplaced priorities and cowardice! 2019 you will vote for either Buhari or atiku or any other career politician..then you will turn around to demand industries from churches..keep blaming churches while your politicians stash their loots in foreign accounts..

Who is asking the church to build factories?

You people love to celebrate mediocrity...how is building the biggest church around an achievement in year 2018?!

Forward-looking countries are celebrating scientific and industrial achievement while you bufoons are celebrating churches where you go to pray for jobs which will never be created cos churches have taken up prime land which will be used only 2 or 3 times in a week to pray for miracles.

The Chinese economy is about to overtake the economy of the United States as the largest in the world... It was achieved through hard work not through prayer which is for lazy and unenterprising people like we have here.
