It is pertinent to note that in recent time men of God has been subjected to condemnation by the non-believers who are ignorant about what religion is all about as these set of people who based on my little knowledge and experience is that when it comes to working for God that is: serving humanity in totality to the glory of God.

Unknowingly to these ignorant people, a true real men of God because of their calling denies themselves certain unavoidable luxury of life; they are always on their kneels praying fervently and fasting for themselves, their families, members of their Ministries, non-members of their families, ministering to people to have salvation and Nigeria Nation.  For instance if not prayers of men of God Nigeria would have been in flames by now.

Given the importance and condemnation of “tights and offerings” in the households of God is not a bad perspective as people term it to be as if these tights and offerings are for the men of God and their family.  No it is not so.  The tights and offerings are been used for the maintenance of the Churches, assist members when the need arises, the less privileged ones outside the shore of the Churches.Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye of the Redeemed Church Worldwide and
Pastor William F Kumuyi of Deeper Life Church were Lecturers in the Universities before God called them out of their lucrative jobs.Pastor Tunde Bakare of Later Rain Assembly is a Lawyer by profession.Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Love All Church (Christ Embassy) is from a religious family background.

Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Isaiah and so on were all called and they didn't rely on tithe and offering. God raise men to bless them.

Jesus didn't ask for tithe and offering from the crowds that followed him everyday.

The day tithe and offering are cancel from the church programmes is the day we'll know those that are truly called.

perhaps on Skype Video call since they see him always.

Nonsense and

Brother, . Once upon a tiime, I used to think this way. But after time and time again of study and proper reconsideration of the concept of Christianity, about what it actually teach, about the way of life it admoshes it's adherents to imbibe. I conclude that this Nigerian--invented brand of Pentecostalism is becoming the very antithesis of Christianity itself. how many churches can you point to, in contemporary Nigeria that are actually practicing Christianity,I mean that one Christ brought,, how many pastors can dare lead that nomadic lifestyle that Christ lead even in the face of great wealth you will notice they're very few. If at all there are.


I do not say it is wrong for a pastor or priest to be wealthy, afterall they do not force people to make donations in their churches at gun point. But what do they actually use the acquired wealth for?,
Rather than use it to promote Christianity's core messages like giving to the poor, I mean (not these attention seeking induced kind of giving you observe today, on TV) I mean like the early church, like the Christians of Antioch, they don't. They spend billions building mega auditoria in an embarrassing attempt to claim world largest auditorium as if it were said to be a criteria for entering the much preached heaven. They grow expansive business chains, buy private jets and cars without restrictions, Brother the glaring question we should ask ourselves plainly..... is would Christ do same if he were in their shoes? peace.

Calling them beggars is being gentle with them.

They are nothing but thieves, opportunists, armed robbers!!!

U have said it all.
PEOPLE valued CHRISTIANITY in the days of the military era.
Then people had confidence in them.
They were not power drunk nor Money drunk.
Since the advent of DEMOCRACY, the upsurge of Pentecostal churches heralded the emergence of THIEVES and ROGUES.

I asked a Pastor sometime ago that why is it that almost all the Pentecostal pastors now see visions and see beyond the naked eyes.
Most are now PROPHETS, who can tell you the last phone call you made and what you discussed.
Why didn't GOD speak through the CATHOLIC, ANGLICAN, ADVENTIST, PRESBYTERIAN, METHODIST, BAPTIST PRIESTS like he (GOD) is doing only through these new Pentecostal pastors.
That means so many things are not Right here.
Is it that GOD was never interested in those OLD CHURCHES Or these NEW NOISEMAKERS are getting everything right ...

These new Generation Pastors (Thieves ) have killed Nigerians and Africans.
The MADNESS of OWNING PRIVATE JETS just started few years back.

Please read Hebrew 1:1
It's clear that God used to call people DIRECTLY in times past but from the very moment Jesus got baptised, God STOPPED such calling and leave the calling in the hands of Jesus (HIS only begotten son).
So whoever hears any type of calling apart from Jesus' style of calling is truthfully hearing voices of DEMONS!
How or what style did Jesus employed in calling people? Well a careful meditation on the Bible book of Matthew 10 reveals that Jesus SENDS OUT PEOPLE TO CALL PEOPLE. Matthew 10:40
Jesus only called Paul DIRECTLY because he was wholeheartedly serving Satan's purpose(Romans 10:1-4) whereas his teachers taught him (using the Bible) that he's zealously doing so for God! Paul was therefore a lost sheep in the hands of Judaists. Act 22:3,23:6 see also Act 5:34 to know Paul's teacher!
So Jesus only send His followers to PREACH and TEACH people FREELY as in without charge! Matthew 10:8
The main problem today is that Satan planted bad seeds that disrupted Christianity after the death of the Apostles (Matthew 13:24-30) and now that Jesus is prepared to judge the world, He is gathering all faithful humans into one single organization but instead of people to read Jesus' words carefully and prayerfully to understand what's going on,they're vilifying those that Jesus is gathering just as people did to TRUE Christians in the first century! Matthew 10:22,John 17:14-16
True Christians can never be celebrated since Jesus wasn't celebrated. Matthew 10:25
God bless you all!

They are thieves. Hopefully, our children will be smarter than us to see the scam for what it is.

The same revival that destroyed the hegemony of the Catholic Church would destroy the scam of today's pentecostalism. Eyes would be open and people would worship God in spirit and in truth.

Is this sarcasm? Do you just want us to yab god of men?

Pentecostal Churches are opened by any body(individual) and they run it as private business, the GO is the CEO, you can't question their activities, today they are doing all sorts of evil while people are blindly following them.
Oyedepo saying he is stupendous rich (with all pride) with members money? and all of them mentioned are all criminals buildings their empire on the head of the gullible Nigerians

Imagine the son of one of the GO, always talking rubbish on social media, is it somebody like that that people will be calling a pastor?

Dump people in Nigeria

That is not true. Infact it is a fallacy and a stereotype thinking. Christ is the head of the church. He will always provide .To know a true prophet is easy but many are ignorant and blindfolded in identifying them. You know one through the following
1. His fruit: You can know this when you go close to them instead of viewing from the surface level
2. His messages: Holiness, righteousness, purity, sanctification. Although preachers who stress on this can't be true prophet because Satan is crafty. A true prophet balances his message not centering on one aspect alone
