No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24 (NIV) 175 Likes 5 Shares |

"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Mark 10:25 I have always wondered why Nigerian super rich pastors do not talk about the above quoted gospel which Jesus himself spoke. 205 Likes 14 Shares |

hisgrace090:yet you people will say old things have passed away and all things become new to favour ur teaching. let me ask. who are we as Christians looking up to? is it Christ gospel or teaching of old? remember in the teaching of old Moses said if they slap you then you slap back. but in Christ teaching he said we should turn the other side. which one are we to follow. Christ condemned prosperity but the Old Testament promote it. who are we to follow? in the Old Testament God was in support of the killing of enemies but in Christ pray for your enemies.

What has Oyedepo himself got to say about the Forbes Ranking? In an Interview with Reuters in 2014 Oyedepo said the following When asked about the $150 million Forbes’ estimate of his fortune, he said: “For me, to have fortune means someone who has what he needs at any point in time. I don’t see myself as having $150 million stacked up somewhere. Whatever way they found their figures, I am only able to say I am blessed by the Lord.” He added that he could not estimate the church’s total revenues or expenditure on items such as salaries because the various departments, including education, were too diverse. Winners Chapel’s Corporate Affairs department told Reuters that the church has employed more than 18,000 people in Nigeria alone. Source: https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN0I104B20141012 Why is the $150 Million USD tag an insult to Oyedepo? Saying Oyedepo is worth 150 million USD is saying that his needs can't be met above 150 million USD. It is putting his capacity within a financial limitation when it is truly within the confines of God's capacity. Why boast of owning 150 million USD when God promised in Phil4:16 to supply all your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. The supply of Christ is infinite and is not limited - this is what Oyedepo has tried to explain many times and has been misconstrued always. How did Forbes come about the 150 million USD claim? First of all to address that report we need to go back to the initial Forbes report in 2011 The Blogger who posted this on June 27, 2011 at 12:22pm on Forbes Magazine's Website goes by the name Mfonobong Nsehe. According to Nsehe "After the blog post I wrote in May about Nigerian pastors owning private jets, I was bombarded with emails from readers requesting to know the richest pastors in Nigeria. So I set out to investigate the assets of some of Nigeria’s most prominent pastors, and I came up with conservative estimates of their fortunes. I contacted representatives for all of the pastors and all except Matthew Ashimolowo’s representative confirmed ownership of the assets I list. Representatives for Pastor Ashimolowo did not respond to my emails." Source: https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/mfonobongnsehe/2011/06/07/the-five-richest-pastors-in-nigeria/amp/ So first of all this blogger applied to get information from Churches regarding the Assets of the Pastors. Which he mostly didn't get so he most likely tallied all of the Church's property alongside the Pastors 'assets' and made his conservative estimate since he couldn't identify the difference. Meaning he had calculated what he believed was the financial value of the Universities, the non existent four jets(all which he cited) to come up with his 'conservative estimate'(if you read his Profiling of Oyedepo, it is clear he estimated the value of Covenant university and the non existent FOUR Jets as what made up Oyedepo's worth) Now all of the universities, jet, books are actually properties of the Church and not one particular person. Because they were all established by the Collective funds of the Church and are registered under the World Missions Agency - which is the mission arm of the Church. To tally them as properties of Oyedepo would be tantamount to accruing all Hospitals, Schools owned by the Catholic Church or Anglican to Pope Francis or ArchBishop Welby. While Bishop Oyedepo serves as the Life President of WMA, he would remain the Executive Custodian of these Church Assets alongside the Board Of Trustees of the said Organization till his exit in which another President would inevitably have to be appointed. Secondly, Mfonobong Clearly never went nor gained access to Covenant, Landmark Universities nor the Church's Hangar to assess the financial value or legal ownership of the said institutions or jet before coming up with his spurious 150 million USD claim. In summary Nsehe sat behind a Computer and made a Guess of what Oyedepo owns and is worth. A true analysis of Oyedepo's worth would include an analysis of his bank account(s), value of his Victoria Island house, his car. Hence people should stop quoting or lumping Covenant university, the imaginary four jets, businesses in canaanland as properties of Oyedepo. The bible admonishes us to investigate all things to certainty. It took me little time of dedicated study to realise the massive loopholes in the claims of Oyedepo being 150 Mill rich made by nsehe of Forbes. I equally only hear people say that Oyedepo said that it is an insult for him to be said to worth 150 million usd. But they never make reference to why he sees financially valuing him as an insult. I am worth Philipains 4:19, Oyedepo too is worth Philipains 4:19 end of story. 37 Likes 5 Shares |

Empredboy:Cornelius, Governor Sergio Paulus etc. By the way if the OT promises wealth and NT promises Poverty then we might as well just say that OT is better than NT. But no, Prosperity is God's wish for his people irrespective of dispensation. If you belief Jesus condemned Prosperity, then may you never Prosper in Finances till you die. If you say Amen I would accept your Argument. 3 Likes 1 Share |
