JESUS IS THE BLUE PRINT FOR CHURCHES AND CAN NEVER FIT INTO CAMA ADAPTED FOR RIFA-RUGA ISLAMISATION FULANISATION AND ANARCHY.

helinues:
If the churches are not ready to abide by the law of the land, they should be deregistered

helinues:


Should that be the right question to ask at this time...

Let's see how government will oversee church income and then we can determine the level of transparency.

No going back about this...

backnbeta:
CAMA is not only about accountability, it's a deliberate fight against the leadership of the church and the body of Christ generally. How can the government, our own government for that matter dip their hands in the church's management when we know that whatever they touch gets destroyed?

I am a Christian, call me a sheeple, but I will rather have my money spent by the GO than have the government spend my money after I've been overly taxed by the same government

CodeTemplar:
Boxed into a corner, you are forced to speculate about Jesus. I like that.


By the way, I don't care about Oyedepo or Oyakhilome rendering account for me to see. I release my tithes towards God through them willingly unlike tax I am compelled to pay.

How many account have govt rendered to me. The average project done for less than half a billion under Oyedepo and Oyakhilome goes for many many billion under govt that's fighting corruption and you expect me to want a rendering of account from a church I am not compelled to remain or forced to join? You must be deeply stúpid.

Sannisege:
Even the Jesus Oyedepo claims to serve said clearly that you should give unto Ceaser what is Ceaser’s and give unto God what is God’s. Oyedepo doesn’t want to be accountable.

LastProphet:


Yes it is, is about envy because the rising status of the church scares them. Any sane Christian must reject this in totality

BreconHills:


Did you even watch the video before jumping on the quote? Christ is the foundation stone of the church but what does that have to do with obeying a law that an organization willingly put itself under? Jesus himself ( his name is exalted above all) paid the temple tax as required by the law though he was the son of God.

There is nothing in the world that says a church must be registered under the law of any country in order to be considered the church of God. Anyone who registers a church is doing so to take advantage of the benefits of the law - perpetual legal succession and freedom from corporate tax. The religious organizations owned by these Nigerian "churches' are under CAMA like regulations in the UK, USA, and Europe. Why are these laws not Islamic?

No one can ride on Jesus to advance political agenda's. Jesus does not support political parties. He has his own party and nation called the Kingdom of God.

Oppose the law if you must, oppose any party if you want but leave Jesus out of it. He ain't playing this game. Never has, never will.

You havent yet been seen shooting any whites Haven't yet lynched any white, we you know off. You havent the Jagaban style yet knelt down on any Lagosian/white man's neck in public, but you sire, in your heart, defo have committed racism

princeSammyz:
I think from what I read about the law, it allows government to appoint an Interim management at times it deem necessary so as to probe the activities of the church, and of course every other org in same category. I wonder why we should be so worried if things are all going right with the running of these org before the new CAMA. Maybe I am missing something. Someone should enlighten us please on exactly how the new CAMA could make this grossly different in such a way that it will inhibit the spiritual duties of the church. I do not like to rush in condemning a thing before i fully understand its motive, more so that similar laws are obtainable elsewhere. Maybe someone should put light on the motive or as the church would like to say, the interest, of the government with this law and why a spiritual body should be exempted. The comments so far have not addressed that.

Why not? So the the bible must write it first?
Judas must have kept records and provided same when required, reason he was TREASURER.

Tell me, was MESSIAH's group registered under government? Did they have the freedom to operate like today's churches? Did MESSIAH receive money from millions of members like we see today?

We're not even talking about the young upcoming pastors everywhere whose goal in life is to have money like Pastors Oyedepo or Oyakhilome or Adeboye. Many don't even keep records, they wire the money directly into their bank accounts or put the tithes straight into their back pockets.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM....so the money from widows, orphans, the less privileged amongst you, that were promised better life/imaginary blessings are donations?.......

IamDavid:
The government is not in the position to oversee religious organizations financial income and expenditures. Every fund received at the church, whether first fruit or tithe or offering, donation or development "levy" is freewill. The payer pays based on his relationship with God and his conviction. How is this the government's concern?

People shame churches all over the internet, yet, I've seen churches perform more charity than any other sect. Some churches print out their balance sheet at the end of every year, detailed, prepared by qualified professionals who has volunteered to do so.

Even in the worst case scenario, like the time a church I used to attend back then asked all members to empty their accounts to procure land for the church, is still hot enough reason to allow government's oversight. I simply left the church (More than half of us left). No noise. Some stayed without paying, some donated half of their account balance, I know some who dropped everything they had. All good.

I don't want to delve into the fact that the government in discussion is nothing to write home about. In fact, since it is coming from the "Nigerian Government" the whole agenda makes no sense.

donnie:
Tinubu and other greedy politicians are simply taking advantage of a structure laid down by colonialists to oppress the people. They too will face their judgement if they don't repent.

donnie:


Interrsting. Did he give church leaders this blueprint?

CodeTemplar:
Funds are not collected but donated willingly. The donors are continually donating knowing what the funds are used for so what is the role of an uninvited third party - the government?

We're talking about people's money, you're saying WAY TRUTH AND LIFE.

HedwigesMaduro:


Why should a church register with govt? Discriminating against churches how?

Oracleforce:


Imams and sarduna of Sokoto will not speak against it because it is a sinister agenda...it is a ploy to give the control of the church to some Islamic bigot elements In the government.
They know that the reason why churches have edges above mosques is their financial capacity and their ability to create robust impact and penetrate some Muslim community with their good deeds thereby woo some of their Muslim faithful to the knowledge of Christ...
So, from that understanding, they need to create an enabling law in order to cripple the financial capabilities and capacities of churches and in order not for them to function optimally as they should...it is a strategy.....
Satanic strategy to make the work of God grounded because of lack of financial capacity...
This is hatred from the pit of hell.
