This is where you are ignorant. The church fund is for their members not the general public. Unlike government funds which entails compulsory levy, church's own is voluntary

Jeffyblaq:
I see folks fighting for and attacking oyedepo...

Disregarding the message said...

As for you guys saying that he's not meant to build factories... You should hav a rethink cos, that's how wealth should be evenly distributed..

A quick one, how many persons can afford the so called fees from dat school?

This country is just DO AS YOU LIKE.

Antoeni:
You are also part of Nigeria problem building churches no factories

JuanJO:

Na school we go chop Las Las. You self follow for our problem.

Mabizeka:
Your churches in the US pays taxes over there but you don't pay it in Nigeria. why?

ibedun:


The church is a registered social entity and it solicits funds from its congregation, who are public citizens of Nigeria. Voluntary or involuntary, any contribution made to the church belongs to the members of the church, NEVER the church. And since each member cannot reclaim that money individually the church management are holding funds and assets in trust as trustees for the general public (the GOVERNMENT!).

I know this concepts are too hard for the average Nigerian (corrupt and stupid).

edoairways:

The church build man however man choose to be violent. Church doesn't forces their believe on you

desiredhome:

Oyedepo have a very strong influence to make this country better or change that he is talking of but they choose to see the spec in another man's eye without seeing theirs.......
Nigerian politicians and pastors are one and the same.......powered by greed and careless of their members or others etc......
All called black man's mentality...........

lexy2014:


Oga, government & d general public are two different entities

soulpeppersoup:


Did you hear about the primary school that cost over 4 million at lekki? Was it Oyedepo that has it?

Did you make comments about the school?

Was the school a higher institution?

Oga go take your drug and stop follow follow things. Be different

lexy2014:


What influence does he have to make nigeria better?

Henrydonland:
stupid men of God,talking as if they care if Nigerians are suffering.

This oyedepo of a man is ranked among the richest pastors in the world with private jets and do on with a university that is expensive as hell.

How can a man of God be that rich.

desiredhome:

If you don't know how he can influence the betterment of this country then you must be a kid

ibedun:


Haba!!! Oga, theoretically they are different entities, in REALITY and in real life they are the same.

lexy2014:


What is d difference between d theory and d reality of d difference between govt and d public?

ibedun:


Circular question - it has answered itself

Reality is practically applicable

Theory is hypothesis with impractical meaning

Myer:


You have to wonder what they're teaching cos even the graduates Covenant is churning out are part of the problem instead of being part of the solution.

Winners preaches prosperity without preaching much of righteousness.
When you exalt prosperity over virtues of righteousness, you can be sure that your followers will do anything to gain that prosperity even committing sins that unbelievers won't.

The irony with Christianity is that a unbeliever believes he is committing sin when we steals but a Grace and Prosperity preaches have taught their followers that even if they steal, it is not a sin because Christ has paid for all their sins.

At the end of the day, Christians who should be part of the solution have become more of the problem.

Interestingly you can't blame this pastors because there are Bible verses that support this claim, mostly John and Paul's epistles.

If only Christianity had continued the way the missionaries introduced it to Nigeria, clearly, the Nigeria we have today would be the most prosperous nation in the would but unfortunately the reverse is the case.

Both Christians and Muslims are robbing the Nations and dry and the masses are to suffer for it. Although directly or indirectly the elites are also suffering from this insecure and undder-developrd country they've created.

Go and ask Oyedepo! He was once a mathematician

Dawinlove:


How do you get prosperous in God without salvation?
Does God cut corners to bless his people?

Like I said before, the reason Africa and indeed Nigeria is backward is ignorant and slave mentality just like you are displaying here......... For your information, government is not just the leaders or politicians but you and I inclusive......
The ability to know what is right and doing it is what grows a family which makes up the society.....if you as an individual can't do what is right same to the every nigerian (both the leaders and the lead).. whatever the problem of Nigeria is today is our collective faults.......
Life is about humanity first, unfortunately many of you out of fear poverty and being brainwashed do not know the essence of the Church......

Unfortunately our churches of today are not building men, rather they encourages greed, corruption, competitions, covetousness etc which are what is killing our society today....... don't be deceived

eyinjuege:
Half of the people wanting free education by these churches don't even attend the church.
A close friend of mine was mad when his daughter was about going to university, because he couldn't afford the tuition for covenant. It was about 750K per session or so.
He started ranting about members not able to afford it.
I asked him if he was a member, he said no.
So why are you angry Mr man?
This was a man who we laugh about never paying tithes. He has never given more than 200 naira as offering.
He didnt want any govt uni for his child because of strikes and safety issues.
I had to ask why he is angry about this? You're not a member, you don't contribute tithes either.
Why are you angry then?
His child went to another private uni which was cheaper though.
This gave me an insight on the Nigerian mentality and freebies. We all want quality for nothing.
Faith based schools abroad are some of the most expensive. Their ratings are usually amongst the top ones too, so their quality is usually good.
Their workers don't work for free either, so why the expectation of it being free or next to nothing? That will only compromise standard imo.

WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES A BUSINESS

1) Pastors function like CEOs
2) Members are turned into customers
3) Other churches are seen as competitions
4) Evangelism is reduced to marketing
5) Church planting looks more like franchising.

6) Numbers are primary measure of success
7) Prayer and Word study are replaced by formulas
Revival is reduced to a few days fund-raising
program
9) Preaching sounds more like motivational speech. All the people do is shout "I receive, Amen," throughout the concert. I mean the "service".

10) Praise and Worship is turned into a
performance. The best actors are made the worship and praise leaders.
11) The Spirit of God is reduced to "emotionalism". No real power of God other than hypnosis and sensationalism.

12) The saints are entertained instead of equipped
13) Disciples of Christ have become papa's sons, daughters and fans.
14) The Church, a living Body has now become a lifeless body
15) A leader's empire is built instead of the
Kingdom of God advanced
16) The pastor becomes the super man and Jesus Christ reduced to just another religious figure.
