People spiritual life aren't grown up and you said they should sit down at home, Are you even a man of God in the first place? I don't know why the man is supporting this evil government. Well, no problem, the wind will blow and foul yansh will open.

Shut up, brainwashed nitwit. The way you are foaming at the mouth opened your yansh that you feed from people's offering and tithes. Oshi

Correct, i may not be far from hell fire if i acknowledged my sin and i pray towards it every day, with the mercy of God i'll surely make heaven. But what of the person who did not have the spirit of God to acknowledge his sin at all like ; the moniker and you that reply me. Pls beware of saying rubbish things concerning God. Thanks

and the so called born again has judged that I and the person he quoted do not have the spirit of God to acknowledge our sins. Lol. I really laugh at people like you. You are all shades of what is wrong with Christianity. Proclaiming self righteousness. Smh

Pastor Poju made that statement long before Pastor Chris or Bishop Oyedepo made their statements (You can confirm this from his Instagram page). So Pastor Poju is not going against anybody. Please do not join the people here on nairaland to encourage disunity in the body of Christ (I know that's not your intention.

Before the churches were shut, how was the real spiritual life of most believers? How has it reflected on the general morality and righteousness of the larger society where christians are dominant? A man who cannot pray in his closet is not any asset to the body of Christ, even with the doors of churches open, he still cannot command any spiritual authority.

It is unfortunate that most Nigerian Christians are mere powerless miracle and breakthrough chasers who their GO must assemble many times every week to remind them of how they dont have business with lack and misfortune because they serve a very rich God and subsequently milk them dry without their lives making any measurable progress attributable to their bombastic promises.

litigator:



How many church buildings did Apostles Peter and Paul build?

Atleast, they wrote over 75% of the new testament. The church in Ephisus, was it a physical building during the days of the great persecution?

Also, juxtapose your assertion with the Biblical elucidations that " the kingdom of God is within thee". Luke 17:20-21, particularly at verse 21.

Also, the old church shared everything in common and non lacked. Even those who had benefited from the good will of others but wanted to be greedy with theirs, met fatal punishment. How well has our modern church copied such precedent? Acts 4: 30-End; Acts 5.

During this period of Covid-19, how well is the church resources being shared amongst members of the church and by extension, members of the public as a tool of evangelism?

Jesus fed the congregation because He knew the importance of food to the body(biological feeding), and salvation to the soul( spiritual feeding).

How well has our church emulated this biblical precedent during COVID-19. Is this not the best time to win souls to the kingdom via the apt deployment of both mechanism?

Jesus and Apostle Peter were both leaders of the Church, both yet they knew they were trustees of the church, thus, gave good account of stewardship and didn't owe much personal property. Acts 4:32-End

Even Jesus lead by example by borrowing the a colt He used for triumphant entry. He could afford to buy one of the very best, and his actions will be justified because it is for the propagation of the gospel , but instead borrowed one. Mark 11:3.

***Take notice that this is a lame excuse being used by our religious leaders in an attempt to justify the luxurious lifestyle and the acquisition of aircrafts and phantom automobiles. But that is a discourse for another day.

From Apostle Peter's encounter with the man at the beautiful gate, it is apt to conclude that He didn't control the church resources even as a leader and pastor of the first church. He thus gave freely that which he had which was his anointing and heal the man of his infirmity. Can same be said for modern-day pastors and spiritual leaders? What changed?

Finally, lockdown has been lifted in some parts of the western world such as Italy where the church began, but the physical place of congregation is still under lockdown. Most of these pastors have church branches within such domicile, why are they not condemning the govt of such state as they do Nigeria?

Kindly educate my ignorance.

I await your timely response, God bless.

I am an Omnist and Bible student. I know there are 4200+ religion in our modern-day world, and that God is not a Christian, but He is" I am that I am".

Reference: God is not a Christian by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

I offer my highest regards.

I have questions for my Muslim brothers too, but we will address that another day. Shalom.

my own most intelligent comment. You are a brilliant bible student. I will send my wife to you for bible lecturing for 2 years. Please take care of all her needs

They want to open fast fast cos a lot of business ideas full their head now

Apart from tithe and offering

You see Winners customized holy ghost filled face masks being sold to members and you see other churches follow same

Spirit Filled Olive oil to protect members from covid-19

Chosen will sell more eprom which will protect members from corona

This covid thing really opened my eye about all this Men that said they are Men of God

apart from Dunamis Most of them are not even encouraging there members by at least giving palliatives to them and urge them to remain prayerful
all they want is for church to open asap let business continue as usual

ecnuel:


Maybe, you didn't listen to Pastor Chris. He went as far as saying that those pastors supporting the lock down are not only not prayerful but also do not know God. Imagine!

To clear wrong with wrong cannot get it right. Reason, I pointed that Pastor Poju should have responded in harmless and wise way to avoid attracting hypocritical mockers of the false Christians and unbelievers who are hell bent on feasting the Church's weaknesses and errors. Should he have responded to Pastor Chris with wrong? No sir.

Since my last line in my post also dismisses condemnation within the Church. Above all, they were all correct but condemning each other should cease to exist within us.

Lastly, but let us hold fast on obeying the constituent authority first in regards to the lockdown of gatherings. With time, government would seek Church's help without struggling. It is certain! God is still at work.

Useless men of dogs, all these clowns named pastors need to be jailed for adding no value to the country

Phaedrus:

Why do we keep playing victim? Is it only churches that have been closed? What of mosques?

Any Christian who suffers spiritually or, in your words, is damaged spiritually because they haven't gone to a building they call church needs to question His or Her faith in Christ. For God's sake, it's not like Christianity has been banned or something. Aren't there online services? Don't churches have platforms where their members communicate? Don't churches have hotlines for prayers or counselling?

Thank you. Please open your refrigerator and take a can of Malt drink. God knows those that serve Him; on or offline.

Churches should be opened. I stand with Pastor Chris and Bishop Oyedepo. Corporate worship is very powerful form of worship. I don't really know the spirit that is working in Pastor Poju.

You won't know because you are dumb. Go and open the churches. Phuul

I agree with this Pastor 100%,

The church is not d building but the congregants,,
Any Pastor who feels he is led to heal the sick should visit the isolation centers,

Health first please

People who find it hard to attend Sunday service, now that the place of worship is closed, will they be looking for house fellowship centers? The place of worship is open to worshipers any time of the day to seek a quiet time, but can you go to the house of an individual any time of the day to seek a quiet time

His presence is there but that doesn’t suffice for the church . The church has structure of leadership which no man can Take upon themselves

Shut up! Chris, Oyedepo and their likes are criminals and con artist. With all their prayers before the lockdown, did anything change in Nigeria? This people are just after their business. Most Churches are nothing but pure business in Nigeria. Spiritual my foot! Nigerians are hypocrites and not believers or Christians, including you.

You’ve spoken like your father the devil, always coming out as if he meant well but at the end he will surely show himself, so they should just wake up one morning and start going to isolation centers without Government approval shey? even Jesus Christ didn’t go to where he’s not invited and that’s the more reason he couldn’t perform any miracle in his home town, I haven’t seen any country blasting Pastors like Nigerian especially their own, so your comment here is trash, People have been mistaken Sam Adeyemi and this man as Pastors and I don’t blame them, they are doing the works of their father the devil just like you without even knowing, your type was the thief on the cross with Jesus, I mean the one that asked him to save himself

You have spoken like the dolt you are
