i think everyone who used to read bible will know the story of the house of the lord that turned to market . God was trying to passed a message to Jesus telling him what that will end his ministry. you can see in the same bible will find out that Jesus asked his disciples "WHEN AM COMING BACK CAN I STILL MEET FAITH " the question remained UNANSWERED till date.this is the formula to justify the pastors, ANY PASTOR THAT PAY SALARIES TO PASTORS OR RECEIVE SALARY , BELIEVE THEY ARE FAKES IF THAT IT'S DONE IN THE CHURCH THAT MEANS THAT PARTICULAR CHURCH(ES) IS OR ARE NOW AN INVESTMENT OR A COMPANY. THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR PASTOR B,COS HE IS AN HEAVEN SEEKER LIKEWISE YOU .

Hehe. . was that even a theory?

I wonder. . . .

majority of the churches in Nigeria are coming out with universities and if this is not making money for them i think only few can stand but now we have numerous universities owned by churches to show that it's a cool business . these churches overseer cruising in a luxurious life moving away from the truth . their heart have being eating up by corruption shame on then .USE TO CALL OUR STRONG PASTORS SOME PEOPLE LIKE ADEBOYE, OYEDEPO, ORISHAJAFOR ,OKONKWO AND SO MANY GREEDY PASTORS LIKE THAT, THAT WE ARE HAVING SUCH POWERFUL MEN OF GOD CLAIMED BY THEIR FOLLOWERS ,STILL WE ARE HAVING PROBLEM OF CORRUPTION THOSE CORRUPT MINISTERS, D.GS ,GOVERNORS SO CALLED POLITICIANS ARE THEY NOT GOING TO THE CHURCH ALL PASTORS CARE ABOUT IS HOW TO EXTORT FROM THEM AND FILL THEIR POCKET , LEAVING THE NATION IN DARKNESS IS THEIR PRIORITY, SHAME ON OUR MAJORITY PASTORS . DO NOT BE BRAINWASHED BY SO CALLED MEN OF GOD , ON THE JUDGMENT DAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ASK YOU HOW MUCH YOU HAVE INVESTED IN THE CHURCH BUT HOW MANY SOULS HAVE YOU WON FOR YOUR LORD AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBOR . THE DAY OF DOOM FOR SOME AND THE DAY OF JOY FOR SOME.

Okay, but could I have some evidence beyond your saying so? At least, I would have something to critique constructively so that my opinions would be well informed. Afterall, one other reason why I chose the examples deliberately (as I said earlier) would be to highlight the fact that not all claims are true - and some have been found cutting corners and contravening their own principles (e.g., University of Phoenix, UPX).

Is the university of Phoenix contravening their own principles?. What evidence do you have?

But what has the Oyedepo's example of university done for the benefit of her benefactors?

A benefactor mustn't benefit from the fruits of his charity. Oyedepo would have used the money to chill at the hotel Bellagio but he used it to build a university that will be a pacesetter for academic excellence in Nigeria.

But Oledpepo constantly benefits from the fruits of his so called ministry, or how else would you explain his stupendously lavish lifestyle whilst those around him are living in penury.
