Nigerian Church Leaders Should Learn From Millard Fuller by okunoba(m): 6:20pm On Aug 03, 2010 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq8_Y4fP6pI This man by his deeds showed himself to be a true Christian unlike the Nigerian so called men of God who are only interested in buying fancy cloths, expensive cars and private planes while the majority of their congregation live in extreme poverty. The late Millard Fuller gave up a very successful Business to set up a Foundation that provides low cost houses for the poor all over the World "The Fuller centre was founded in April 2005 by philanthropist, Millard Fuller, who passed away in the state of Georgia, USA, last year. He was also the Founder of Habitat for Humanity, a worldwide Christian housing ministry that has built more than 200,000 homes around the world. Renovating houses The Fuller Centre is currently building and renovating homes in 17 countries around the world and in 57 communities in the United States; “Here in Nigeria, a pilot project has begun near Abuja where The Fuller Centre, Nigeria, 80 units of one room apartment will be built. “The homes are being sold for as little as N480,000 and home owners are required to deposit N80,000 only and to repay the remaining N400,000 in five years, paying at least N8000 a month,” he stated" What stops churches like Redeem, mountain of fire and all the other big churches from doing the same thing as this great man, instead of buying private planes, building big churches and expensive universities that must of their congregation cannot afford. Nigerian churches are a disgrace to humanity. These so called men of God should cover their faces in shame. |

okunoba: @^^^ Admirable. I doff my hat to this amiable general "What stops churches like Redeem, mountain of fire and all the other big churches from doing the same thing as this great man?" was asked Video mark 8:24 reveals what is stopping them (i.e. it is not practical and half dont believe their messages) Millard Fuller: ". . . even the Pastor who had counselled us thought we were nuts then I said "Pastor dont you know that the Bible says "It is difficult for the rich man to enter the Kingdom and err . . . y'know" He said "Yeah you got to be practical" <laughs> He didn't believe his own message" . . . the Fullers began a Christian ministry at Koinonia Farm building simple, decent houses for low-income families in their community using volunteer labor and donations, and requiring repayment only of the cost of the materials used. No interest was charged, as it is with traditional mortgages, and no profit was made. These same principles guided the Fullers in expanding this ministry, called Partnership Housing, into a larger scale ministry known as Habitat for Humanity International. That vision was expanded in 2005 in the founding of a new non-profit housing organization, The Fuller Center for Housing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millard_Fuller |

Something I have realised is talk is cheap. It's so easy to point a finger at others even though we forget the remaining four point back at us. For your fellow brothers and sisters, what have you done to help them? You might not be able to do a quarter of what Fuller has done but what have you done to help your neighbours. If we spend more time acting, we will spend less time talking. Do your bit and let God reward you and judge the rest. Stop hyperventilating on what you didn't add a dime to. |

Therefore, learn and put into action what you have learnt from Fuller. Its not directed at only church leaders. When you get busy doing God's work, you'll have less time for this. |
