Schools + Hospitals > Churches

At least if Africa wishes to catch up with mighty nations such as USA, RUSSIA, CHINA, ENGLAND etc,
we need to take the above seriously.

You are right. Churches in Nigeria are always in a competition with each others. The Bible says my perished because they lack wisdom. By now, churches should embark more on street to street evangelism like the old time missionaries.

We sure have more than enough church building in this country. Rather, let the TRUTH words of God be preached to all nations. Lord does not live on a building. He lives on our hearts.

If not for the monetary gains (imagined 100,000 X N100 at one service) involved, there are better avenues to utilize the money for evangelism.

God please be merciful unto us.

Armchair critics, sitting on their poor asses and vomiting ignorance about what they know nothing or little about. Have you people been to Dunamis to find out the various welfare programs being undertaken by the church or even taken into account the number of jobs being created by the building of that edifice?

And you said we are all sojourners here on earth
It seems the church have come to stay on earth.
Let me not talk trash Abeg.

They never think, they just comment

Who are all these noisemakers and frustrated people complaining about the church,instead of facing your business and channelling your complaining energy into bettering your life situation, im sure some of you can never do wat these pastors and churches have done in relation to charity and helping the poor and youre here complaining about church moving forward infrastructurally,all these members of the complainers and wailers association should leave pastors and churches to do what GOD would have them do.....it is not fit to leave the main purpose and attend to the lesser purpose....

Churches in Nigeria have the capacity and financial wherewithal to create sustainable jobs for Nigerians with better working conditions. They can venture into textiles, automobile and other industries that can help the country and the citizens to improve on their economy. I believe God answers prayer but He will not descend from heaven to physically help us out of recession.

This is sad , why are we like this We don't have the world's tallest building , the world's biggest school , the world's biggest stadium , the world's widest or longest runway , the world's fastest train network or the world's best and biggest airport , of all the things that can contribute to national building it is church we decide to build. The funny thing is the biggest church auditorium before this was also in Nigeria , the richest pastors are also from Nigeria , who has cursed us like this that we can not free ourselves from this religious bondage. As long as this continue we will always look up to God to deliver us from poverty and guess what , it will never come.

smh. nigerians and stupidity are like bread and butter. 100,000 capacity church auditorium when a good number of the members would be job seekers. why can't they spend the money in creating job opportunities for their members? 100,000 capacity church auditorium that will eventually be made up of so many job seekers. we keep building large auditoriums for worship in nigeria for jobless people to come and pray in,to ask God for needs that would have been met,if the church had channeled the money for large cathedral into such. imagine the amount of jobs that would have been created with the funds earmarked for this white elephant project. this is nigeria where most of the people who run religious organizations and our govts,actually don't have wisdom. every church wants to own large auditoriums like rccg,winners,christ embassy,mfm,deeper life,and the likes. it's now a competition. the whites who brought Christianity to us,do not run their churches like this. they don't go about spending money building gigantic cathedrals up and down. in a country where poverty is high,these sort of projects aren't what the church should be financing. God doesn't live in physical buildings;he lives in our hearts.

this sort of thing can only happen in a society where the government has failed. nigeria's population is growing rapidly and we are busy giving out lands to people to build churches instead of us to give these lands to private investors who are ready to invest hugely in the economy and create jobs.

It's crystal clear that Christians and Christianity are anti-Jesus. Which temple did Jesus build.
Church business is a very profitable business. The pastor is only securing the life of his children and grandchildren

hopefulLandlord:
After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast. So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory of it. While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology. While we were praying, India went into ICT. While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization. While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development. While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development. While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens. While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon.

After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour. Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc have been rewarded accordingly. It's only wise God rewards us with our efforts in prayers. That's why today, Nigerian pastors are competing in building the biggest churches.

That's why there are more prayer houses and worship places than hospitals and schools. That's why people rush to prayer houses for medical and business solutions instead of hospitals. That's why we don't do business proposals before jumping into business since we are going to back it up with prayers. And when it collapse, we blame devil. That's why it's a sin to say anything negative about pastors and imams. That's why our pastors don't consider the opinion of engineers while building and blame devil when building collapse. That's why faith in God replaces building pillars and when it collapse we blame it on Lucifer. That's why our pastors are making sure they plant church branches instead of schools in every streets in Nigeria. That's why we always wait for gods to do that which ability to accomplish we already have in us. That's why we want our teachers to labour on earth and go to heaven for their rewards. Nigeria is a prayer loving, god fearing nation. Religion has taken the place of technology, infrastructure, education and all. When we are traveling, we ignore all the necessary road requirements, servicing of our vehicles and pray. And, once we pray, we can put a half fit vehicle on the road and blame our step mother or mother in law if anything goes wrong. That's why there are more people dying on our roads. Because, we pray and fast and leave everything to God when we have all we need to survive and build a nation....... I hope it made sense to you

1.I agree with you(gave you a like )

2.Government does try to help private investors.

3.A big reason why we don't have much in the way of a growing economy is the fact that power supply is poor. Yet., many Nigerians want to get power for free without paying for it.(both rich and poor and even many govt enterprises)

4.Again, many Nigerian companies fail because of the greed of the founder's family, or because they are badly run.

5.Our attitude to the economy is bad...we view it as a cake to be shared rather as talents to be multiplied.

6. Our universites , infact our whole education system lacketh funding. And enough teachers, and enough

7.Thing is, Nigerians aren't interested infixing these problems...they would rather vote for the government that provides them goodies like Sure -P, N-power, consolidated whatever, free N5000, amnesty, free stomach infrastructure. If the government is not privding you with goodies...it is a bad government.
