I think we should let God deal with this issue, for only He alone knows the depths of a mans heart(intentions,motives and the real reason behind these wealth acquisition), he knows where there heart is(Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also).I think we should rather face our work like in a race or in an examination we should [phil 2:12 (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ)]. May God grant us wisdom grace and mercy. |

[quote author=mosi2living]I understand that most people will always frown at topics like this, because of individual understanding and perception about it. But I can tell everyone that most of this men have been tested by God and have passed the test, this is what is called supernatural wealth, it's not accidental, it's not church money as many will supposed. e.g David Oyedepo stop collecting salary from the church before the 90s, there's no profit that comes from books sale, this is a man that give out scholarship to thousands yearly, this are men who are sold out to the course of God and men. It's easy to sit down and begin to criticise and say all manner but that won't change anything or makes you better. All these men once had nothing, I think it's better to think of the secrets to making it yourself instead of accusing someone. [/quo if he actually makes nothing from the church, then the source of his wealth becomes even more questionable. |

In my own opinion, a man's wealth shld not be measure by how much materials and currencies he has but by d richness of d pple around him. Hw can u be hailing a teacher wen all his students and surroundin pple are stark illiterates? In same way why hailing pastors wit riches wen most of can barely eat, hw much more sending dia kids to skul? Sombody said Christ became poor so dt we cld be rich, wats ur definition of being rich? MONEY, GOOD WINES and JETS? D last time I checked, d apostles weren't leaving large. Abi Christ didn't become poor for d apostles to be rich too? Pls let's stop quotin scripture to suit our mortal desires. |

ideaz: ERM... Verse 25 of Matthew Chapter 19 says; 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Its funny how Pentecostals always try to sell us that lie that Jesus and the Disciples were rich.. And although this is the first time I am seeing this reference, the normal defence for this always comes from the robe of Jesus that was Gambled for, Judas had a money purse & the Disciples had fishing boats... Sadly, this lie can only be sold to those lazy Christians who only wait for the Bible to be preched to them by their Pastor who is not even half as intelligent as they are. Here is proof that Jesus was not ony not rich, but actually a normad; 1. His Parents were not rich. They could barely afford a room in Bethlehem for his Birth. 2. Luke 8:2-3 English Standard Version (ESV) 2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means. 3. Mark 15:40-41 ESV “Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there” 4. The Disciples were so rich they couldnt even afford food to feed the Multitude they had gathered.. So much so they needed a Miracle. 5. The Disciples so Rich they walked on foot from City to City.. They couldnt even afford to buy Horses.. Jesus was never rich. The Bible never showed him off to be rich. So Prosperity Prechers can keep digging until they find.. ideaz: Jesus had a house?! Where?! When?!! Where is the C-of-O?! Na wah o!! Matthew 8:19-20 New International Version (NIV) 19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” [/i] "Matthew 19:29 KING JAMES VERSION And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life." So, which house did Jesus own?! Does a house owner say things like this; "Matthew 10:11 King James Version And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet." (Matthew 10:11-14 KJV[/i] 2 Cor.8:9 " being rich , yet for your sakes he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich". Zech. 9:9 " Behold, your King is coming to you; he is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey." ideaz: This Judas yarns is getting stale.. ideaz: The Bible shows us that they might even had enough money to buy food for those 5000 men, women and children not counted but where far away from where they could buy anything hence the need to multiply what was available. Be informed that HE never gave anything just enough but in supplus anytime anywhere. Lets Analyze that Story indebtly... Mark 6; 37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?” 38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.” More than Half a Years wages for 13 Grown Rich men.. was Two hundred pennyworth of bread.. Lol... Okay.. Lets go further. John 6:7 Philip answered him, "It would take more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!" ideaz: Kai!! You should be Ashamed... Here is why they cast lots for the robe.. It was not even Jesus' robe.. Luke 23:8-11 "And when Herod saw Jesus, he rejoiced greatly; for he had long been desiring to see Him because he had heard many things about Him, and he was hoping to see a miracle done by Him. And he questioned Him with many words; but He answered him nothing. All the while, the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing Him. Then Herod and his soldiers treated Him with contempt; and after mocking Him, he put a splendid robe on Him and sent Him back to Pilate." THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH!! Allahu AKBAR |

The ‘prosperity gospel’ is entrenched in the Pentecostal circles. But as Bright Mhango discusses, the focus on money and blessings has attracted a lot of criticism. Why still most of the penecostal followers in America poor, and the same happen in Nigeria why only most of this penecostal pastors rich. Christianity is a business and not a lifestile in Nigeria. |

When worldly people(sinners) get rich, no one complains but when men of God get rich people are upset. The bible says it is God that gives power to get wealth. I love this 1 000 000 000 likes |

Read this than you will understand why nigerian Pastors are rich https://www.nairaland.com/1584031/how-pastors-get-rich Nigerian pastor are the best in the churchbusiness. It is all about money bigger churches more jets, more cars but you will never hear something about we have to help poor children in the country. Pastor adeboye told hid followers they sould fast that nigeria would become a better country, why he could not tell his followers please work against corruption, don't take bribe for 100 days. He cannot say this because he would lose money and that shows that christianity is all about money and getting rich whitout working in nigeria. God is no money printig machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Symphony007: We have list of richest actors,musicians,royals,buisnessmen,etc....but there is something deeply troubling about pastors having a rich list. What will Christ who had to bless five loaves of bread and two fishes to feed thousands say? That should tell you how rich Christ was when he was on planet earth. The Richest. Mind you the book of Revelation record that the street of heaven/paradise is made of pure gold, gold that is as clear as crystal. Servants of God having rich list is no sin. |

Lol. You all are just so backwardly-thinking. So because they're pastors, they should live and die poor? Please. Who would you listen to? A pastor with only one shoe preaching to you about salvation? Or a rich pastor who you look up to? Its all a state of mind. Money is a tool of evangelism 'Owo ni keke ihinrere'. Be here judging and acting like you're perfect. He-diots. |

The more you supposed Christians dig for the justification to amass earthly treasures, the harder you fail.. Jesus never once encouraged wealth gathering on earth. Not once.. Every rich person he met with, he always adviced them to do away with their monies.. E.g; The unknown rich man & the Tax collector. Allahu Akbar.. |
