Churches are just a business center.

This is why sometimes I hate coming on nairaland because you cant have sensible conversations while bumping into a dummy every second

Incase you dont know there is what they call HONORARIUM. If john selman should be invited as a guest pastor you think he wont be given something?

And for your information honorarium is not a set price.also mercy chinwo price is not 10million..the pastor gave an example and the blogger twisted what he said...she never had a set price. Shalom

See wickedness abeg, people want to enjoy quality live music without payment!!

Still doesn't add up...the house of God ain't for business...

Leave them...they dont know she has a brand.

But Nigerians will insult Christians trying to gaslight you with "are you not doing it for God" shes still offering a service and should be given honorarium...but the same idiots will pay a lot of money to see asake perform but when it's a chriatian they say she is a thief

Beremx:
Because she was called out for charging money for her shows, now we are hearing for the first time she's giving offering in church.

No mind them, Gospel is not hip-hop and afrobeat that there'll be competing with burna boy and co. Gospel is all about scacrifial services. if she.needs mega monies she should organized gospel shows and concert like the secular musicians does. I was a bit disappointed cos the allegations no s not far from the truth.

Pay gospel artists their money o, they also have needs too.

If they charge high there's always room for negotiation.

Mercylike:


The church is not the church again...

No, the mosque is the mosque

Make una dey deceive una self

Na their wahala be that, I knew right from the time I read it here that she charges 10million for a church invitation that something will surely be posted here again to counter that, Nigerians sha no get brain, I don't know una wahala, if she likes, make she charge 20million, her problem, and it she likes, make she pay the whole 20million as tithe, the church problem, make every ody just ress

Call it whatever you like, but her charging 10 million is not bad. I think she weighs the church before she charges. These churches make money. Let the church money circulate.

The church has been loosing talents to secular world because some people believe they must continue to do free biz and yet pastors recieve all the cash flow.

She has a band. She has to pay her band. Her band has family members that the money will help feed. It is church money. It is not meant alone for Pastor and his wife. Let the money flow within the church.

If your church no get that amount for Mercy
There are other young people in the chorister. Pastor bless these people with funds. Encourage them. Some of them are students Dem no fit pay school fees. Help them.

Na cashout all off then they for Christiandon 10million is God coming down from heaven when she sing. It was when d Rev. Father said it that that they now said she return 1m. Who is fooling who here.
Jesus perform many miracle without collecting any thing.
Funny enough d way they will cover it up n b telling all kinds of story is as if they take us as am illiterate.
Mercy cashout my dear na ur day break so us am well.
10million

Honorarium is quite different from charging to perform... It's like a pastor demanding for money before he preach or pray for u....

Don't mind them. They will give monies out to their pastors who are these days no more than motivational speakers and yet una no won pay money for who day give una the vibes for church...

So,, she was definitely given more than N1m..

In fact, she was given more than N2m, for her to share it into two, and bring out half of it (or less than HALF of it) which is N1m..

seguno2:


Putting the record straight.
That is the point of the post.

What record? She has every right to charge, its how she feeds, its a business. But what i know is you to don't charge for worship or prayer.
Gospel arstiste != Born again
They are the same as burna and davido.

Promicah:
The Bible said "The gift of a man shall make a way for him." It's not bad she's charging. If you don't like it then move.

When it comes to gospel ministers they want them to minister almost free but when the likes of Davido and Wizkid charge that amount, it's okay.

How do you expect them to feed if she doesn't charge. If it's easy to get a song from the realm, you too enter studio and sing.

They will feed same way guests preachers and other ministers of the gospel feed. Although it's not as simple as we see it.... since they usually travel with a retinue of career musicians that may need remuneration.

Dreal1247:
No amount of money is too much for a Gospel minister. Though the ministeration should not be monetized. Some of them spend sleepless days and nights of fasting and praying to power their ministries.

No amount is small, provided they know they aren't doing it for God.

Even the priest collects offerings, what is the fuss about? It is not a must they invite Mercy Chinwo. They can still play all of her songs and she would not sue them.

The priest went as far as making one stupid comparison with writers of the hymns. He can go to their graves and then wake them up to come perform in his church

I know how much she charged for a still growing church like Spring of Life church, Rukpokwu Ph last year shaa.

Churches that have the money to pay for her services are free to invite her, no issue with that but if she's charging ₦10,000,000 to sing in a church, the amount is on the high side.

MetroLane:
Which means she charges #9 million per show.


She only returned the excess #1 million.



Abeg just mind your business this morning.
She charged from one church and returned the excess (her tithe) to another church.

No be the same church all of them be, or the Rev Fr, that reported that she charges #10 million, was he lying?

Dumbo, learn to read between the lines. If not there won't be any difference between you and a goat that's staring at a piece of paper.

Call your parents, I think they're crying now.

Read and stop embarrassing yourself. The church said they paid her significantly less than half of 10 million. Some people are just hell bent on the negative. What you sow you will reap. Destroy the image and integrity of others reap the same in manifold. Thanks

I am oppose to gospel artists getting paid for performing during services, crusades etc.. Christians should be encouraged to stream gospel artists or buy their songs by downloading etc.. however logistics must be put in place for them whenever they are called upon.
If any rich man wants to invite them to entertain them at occasions, they can charge for their talent. Ministering for the body of Christ should be giving freely.
They are not worldly acts!!!

Maobichek:


And she will be careful the next time she want to make outrageous demand from a Church for ministration. All Churches are not equal financially and she can't go to Papa or Pst Adeboye and be specific on her pay for ministration.

She should be paid but she must consider the capacity/capability of the Church before her price tag.

Because they are not worldly acts they should be given freely? And the man has to be rich before they state a price?

What you're opposed to is not anybody's business oga...if foursquare should invite john selman as a guest pastor in their church they will still give him honorarium..why do you people think your opinions are so important? That they're doing it for God dosent mean they arent offering a service to you..they have their own time and schedule and are not obliged to come to your church...

Judolisco:

All those that will sing and backup for her, their logistics and wellbeing have to be paid for. Even Paul said he had a right to feed from the gospel but he waived his right to do that. They have families too. They don't do 9-5 jobs so there is no consistency in their remuneration. They have rent to pay, school fee, they buy petrol at N500 just like you. What do you want them to do? Their gift is what they use to make way for themselves just like you do to.

It is an error for these people to set a standard for a Chrst Being

priceactionx:
Medicine after death. Saying the money is far less than half, 10million. It can't be equal in every church and many people know the reason already.
It's not only her, it is all of them. While am not against them taking some fees cos many times logistics is not that easy, but they most times charge outrageously. Imagine many of them developed their talents in the church, build themselves in the choir, use church instruments to become experts , yet they come back and charge same church branch outrageous fees. To me, that's not the best. I have witnessed it many times not only her.

That's why many called them entertainers. Funny thing is that many help the church to collect offerings there by helping them to get the money paid to them back because they know people will respond well to their offering requests.

that is her means of living don't judge her

Your Foolishness should be spelled in capital letters. Yes this church paid her significantly less than #10 million, what about the previous church that paid her, did they pay her below #10 mill also? Or where did you read in my post that she is paying her tithe based on what she got recently.

Abeg carry your mumu-ness go sweep una compound.

You sef read, no dey embarrass your family, or maybe they are even used to the embarrassment sef, who knows.

Your weakness is evident for all to see. Let me help you display what the church that paid her said

When Mercy Chinwo visited our Assembly not too long ago, she did not charge ₦10,000,000 as her fee. While I won't disclose the exact amount she received, it was significantly less than half of ₦10,000,000.
You also don't need to change the subject to issues of tithe because neither the church's clarification on this matter nor my comments suggested anything about tithe or her previous engagement.

I know you will still pretend not to see the bolded but that is the way of weak people. They continue to argue and insult everyone even when they can see clearly, they made a mistake. Admitting mistakes is not a sign of weakness, it's a big sign of strength. Oya withdraw your previous statements where you insulted people yet you are in the wrong. Let us see how strong you are.

Una want Mercy to go begging after the show, right.

It really shocking how lazy people wants to be judge over what hardworking talents should earn.

A lot of Christians don't even understand the parables that Jesus taught.
In all of Jesus parable(Talent, Ten Virgins), there is a reward for those who were diligent. This is why a lot of people are poor. Absence of Diligence

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. Prov 22 v 29.

The scripture cannot be broken.

Lazy people cannot provide the same effect as diligent hard working people.

Someone spends years to train their voice, write quality songs, labor and sacrifice their time in the place of prayer then expect to earn minimum wage.

Anyone against it, should dare to mention one thing they do so well as a career and do it entirely for free.
