Churches Turned To Business Centre. by kizyalex10(m): 9:23am On Apr 03, 2017 |
I went to a church close to my house,a pentecostal church,last two weeks nd yestrdy, to my greatest suprise,for the two weeks I attended d church,all that was preached was about tithe.to the extent that d preacher said that donating to the mother less babies home is nt important,that it is an NGO,for close to 45 mins or 1hour d preaching was going on,she never mentioned salvation of which is d main reason for coming closer to God,she went as far as calculating d amount that should be paid.(ie if u make one million,100k should be for tithe)the gross profit not the net. She. Even said other churches don't have God's presence in them,jst few.like their own.that even if u re in abroad or anywhere,u hould always pay ur tithe in ur original church,send it down.dat people who don't pay tithe,their business fails but when u do,it flourishes.thats why u see a pastor living lavishly nd members in penury.sorry to say,religion is the worst thing to happen to Africa. Where people worship their pastors more than God.infact churches have deviated from their main call,which is salvation and then turn it into a business centre.NOTE,this is common in most pentecostal churches.i had to storm out of the church even before the preaching ends.no bashing to penticostals,plz whhatz ur take on this. 2 Likes

kizyalex10: I used to be a Christian, but these churches made me left Christianity and I am happy to find a new faith, which made me a better person. Christianity in Nigeria has lost thier objective a long time ago. 3 Likes |

DrDeji20: Ouch! "You left Christianity". Is that what you just said? Please come back, Jesus still loves you. Despite the things going in churches today, I think there are still better ways to go around this instead of leaving God completely. Think about it bro.... ![]() 1 Like 2 Shares |

my take on this is simple, the Bible gives us the set down rule for us to obtain our salvation, we are in the end time, please in this whole Nigeria if out 100 churches then may be just 2 churches doing the will of God,know this the rest is condemned. matt.7:20-22 said not all that say lord lord or those uses the name of God to heal or prophecies shall enter into heaven, BUT THOSE THAT DO THE OF GOD IN HEAVEN. 1 Like |

Do not give up your faith /conviction for a mere mortal that shall pass a way before you finish reading this epistle. @kizyalex10, @DrDeji20 and others sharing same sentiments all I would suggest is that we endeavor to am ourselves with the right/correct information. I remember the Bible says the truth will set you free. Most of us have been brain washed for so many years with verses quoted of context especially malachi 3:10. But a little study brings out Deutronomy 14: 22-29 and Deutronomy 12: 11-28. Tell your pastor you will pay your Tithe unfailingly but not to him/her. Tell your pastor you will pay your Tithe as God stipulated in Deutronomy 14:22-29 I suggest you pick a copy of this book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVZ8W13 ). It really answers lots of questions on Tithe. |

All4good: the honest truth is that. we as human beings knows the truth and its in our hearts. today churches has lost its orginal path, and once we continue to give ourselves excuses to remain within thier practices. we will only harm ourselves. God made us to live in harmony, to realize we can do what we want so far we are not harming lives in the process. That's the knowledge we need to involve ourselves in and so far. I cannot find that in most churches in Nigeria as at today. |

kizyalex10: true, but Catholic chuches always thinks themselves as the only right place to serve God. their discrimination is outstanding. I am making references for Nigerian Catholics. |

DrDeji20:have never seen any catholic church discriminate other churches during preaching,but. If I have attended 100 penticostals for instance,98 preach against other churches nd then campaign for themselves.catholics don't ask. For first timers,or collect telephone. Nd phone numbers,thhey preach as well. |

As a Christian we don't need to preach Church, but remember salvation is a personal race,not Church race.Christianity is Christ like, our conduct,character and behaviour in our daily life,please seek for the true Gospel of Christ so your might have life abundantly ( eternal life). 1 Like |

kizyalex10:i have gone through ur post, most of what u said is true in most of our churches today. but emphasizing catholic church as best or moral in good preaching etc here is a very wrong move by u which also put u in same league (Preaching a church as best) .church name/religion/doctrine divide the church but emphasis on only Christ bring the church(individual) together.....peace. |
