I would need to read the provisions of this Act so I don’t make a faux pas but anything for the appropriate regulation of religious bodies , i will be all for it. I don’t see how these same bodies would gladly subject themselves to law abroad and then act as Tin gods at home but again I will read this law in detail to see what the fuss is about

desiredhome:


Words are powerful than arms......God is Love but he is good in inciting guelible Nigerians.....
Cursing instead of blessings

Pls how has Oyedepo incited "gullible Nigerians"? What has been d result of that incitement? Who did Oyedepo curse that he was supposed to bless? What has God being love got to do with d discussion?

desiredhome:


How has your church contributed to the development of Nigeria? What is the benefit of the churches in the Nigerian of today?.......

I won't answer that ...I cant feed your Ignorance ...Sorry Sah....They contribute more than d Govt...that's all I can say

Are u saying Oyedepos words have caused more damage in Nigeria compared with d guns of BH, fulani herdsmen & uncontrollable & pampered bandits?

Murketeer:

You mean he should Love and Bless Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen who kill and plunder at will ?

Poverty is one of the measure causes of insecurity/increase in crimes, if we were doing the right thing as church or individual there won't be these much suffering as it is today......
Christ preached Love as one of the most important Law, but the love of money has taken over righteousness, salvation preaching etc in the churches of today.....you can't eat your cake and still have it....
The insecurities all around the country is the consequences of what we have allowed through our greed and false doctrines.........

Maybe u should begin by telling us what contribution u expect churches to make to d development of Nigeria and what benefits Nigerians are supposed to enjoy from churches?

IamHeWrites:
Lauretta Onochie social media aide of President Muhammadu Buhari has criticised the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide David Oyedepo over his disapproval of the Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA) being applied in churches, Igbere TV reports.

Oyedepo had told his congregants on Sunday that the “church is God’s heritage on earth” and that it works “on the pattern delivered by God not the pattern of man.”

However, reacting to his statement on Monday, Mrs Onochie in a brief statement made available to IGBERE TV the popular cleric would have to create his own country where he can live by his own laws.

There must be human first before material things/gain, when you value material things more than human then you will have problems, the truth must be said/told.....
Today we build bricks instead of human...... Church is were Morals are built a place of repentance and sober reflection but the opposite is what we see today......sadly
Life is about humanity...... every other things are perishable.......

Those quoting that the Church should obey all of the government's instruction against it, because the Bible says so, are grossly misinformed.

The Bible also states to give to God what is God's and to Caesar what is Caesar's.

The monies we give as donation and offerings have already been taxed for Christ's sakes.

What's the government doing with all the monies in their coffers? Except bagging the poverty headquarters of the world, with huge debts on its neck.

The Church was the primary means of livelihood for most homes during this pandemic, whilst the government orchestrated plans to siphon funds that could have made the lives of the masses better.

How much more money does the government need? VAT increased with no increment in salary amidst the aggravated hardship.

Take it or leave it: the Church is the most functional entity in Nigeria. Their employees are paid on time, and you hardly hear of a church that has gone bankrupt.

This should tell the state something:

In the Bible, the Prophet Daniel of old upheld God's Word and was ready to burn in the stakes instead of obeying a government's injunction.

So, daring the audacity of the government by Papa Oyedepo wouldn't be anything strange-- for the state is overstepping its boundaries.

If these mega churches had squandered the monies received by members, the government will have nothing to be eyeing.

Lazy government. Kindly go and take a long sleep for on this one, you have failed.

Lauretta and co, should go and imbibe the ways of the Church and be wise, for a progressive Nigeria. Envying affluent men of God is completely unnecessary.

If it's easy to get people to be gullible, everyone would have a thriving church.

Nevertheless, I believe that until the church rises up as one and speak with one voice, the state may keep advancing.

I truly wish we had more Christians like Papa Oyedepo and Pst. Chris-- with audacity.

When the state started dictating how services should be run all in the name of COVID19, I knew there would be more stringent rules coming, as they have been tasting their might.

Christianity isn't "zombiesm". No! It's not.

If you're a Christian and you're applauding this move, I am truly sorry for you.

Know this: persecuting God's church is tantamount to persecuting Christ, and there is the warfare dimension of the God we worship.

We shall surely overcome.

I wonder what bible you read...it's definitely not the bible I read.
2 Cor 5.21 is what you need to deliver you from self deprecation and your "I'm a sinner" complex.

When we preach Love and not hate, when we see others as same people created by God, when we begin to live in peace with one another..etc then will there be peace.....
If God had wanted only one set of people or religion to be, he would've done that....... you can't fight for God....

They tell you do not be unequally yoke with unbeliever blablabla......but they dinne and eat with them when it comes to money.....the schools built with the poor members money (contribution) are being attended by unbelievers, Muslims, politicians etc while you poor are there fighting ignorantly......

There's no correlation with what u said above & d questions I asked u. Pls read d questions again:

Ikeast:
Oga Oyedepo upon all the christians killed in Southern Kaduna,
U didn't condenm it..

U are interested in reopening church Coz tithe and offering issagoal........

No Pastor in Nigeria has been more outspoken about the killings in the north in general not to talk of southern kaduna like Oyedepo...

Its so obvious you hate the man for no reason...

You dont need this at all.

They can never stop, she is not even the only one. People of other faith will stand with their faith come rain or shine but our own people will only stand by what they can get from government.

As much I do support the freedom of religion, they must operate within the law of the country.

Nigeria is not China or Russia but these religious felons have brought shame and exploitation to their countries. Even worse than foreign religions they copy and model themselves after.

What values have they brought other than money into their foreign accounts and private planes idling at the airports?

Ignorant.

they are trying to see how they can decimate christains.how can an unbeliever become a member of the board of the church.very soon this govt will do something that will tear this naion apart.

Oyedopo has been condemning the incessant killings for long, what do you expect him to do when things refuse to change?

Maybe you should read about the reason we have Church or the role of the church in personal/societal development.....and not just what your Pastorprenours tells you.....
The problem is a lot of you finds it difficult to study or do research otherwise you won't ask this kind of question......
