Prayer is also essential

You can pray from home, after all God is every where.

People eyes Don open. Corona Don spoil their market. lol

The Bible clearly says " my people perish because they lack knowledge" these pastors having studied this in Hosea 4 are using it as an insight to brainwash gullible Christians who do not read the Bible and understand it, but relly on their pastors to help read on their behalf.

Question- Is the presence of God limited to church alone? Think about this. God is everywhere.

The same word of God instructs children of God to adhere to government directive ( by my understanding), especially when it is in their interest, yet people are ask d to risk their lives just for certain benefits of others.

Do you know salvation can actually come to you in your home? Yes! It must be in a church. Many have been saved in the streets or even in tervans

I am not one of those who criticize men of God and I don't bother myself about how they make money or relly on their members to get rich because I believe only God has that right,but I know some of their actions, just like this one is not in the interest of their members.

This religious conman needs his next private jet. He must be missing his 419 church mugus!

Zooposki:
Never knew Oyedepo was this foolish.

I am not sure you are a Christian. The man of God did not insult anyone. He only aired his opinion. Why the abuse? Remember he is a man of God. Be guided!

GamalNasser:
Oyedepo is wrong on this , Nigerians can pray at home , the only thing he is missing is the daily offering

Raw truth! Schools was shut too, even businesses were not left out... These institutions are more important than any religious jamboree that's designed to enrich daddy GO through tithe and offerings.

and here comes the religious bigots

Maxymilliano:
Oyedepo is right tho ...

Church na market too

Sense no go kill you lol

BluntTheApostle:


There are no true alternatives to markets.

Forget online stores. They will be overwhelmed if we were all to shop. Moreover, how many online stores manage perishables well?

It might work in developed countries with solid road networks. But in Africa, where most countries are low-income, online stores would be overwhelmed if we were to erase physical markets.

What about involving the military in the supply chain? What about paying money into every account connected to BVN so that people could buy prior to lockdown?
What about using toll free phone lines for orders? There are lots of things the government can do differently if they are serious.

The NURTW have units in every nook and cranny of Nigeria. Their network can be used to sustain the supply chain instead of online stores or in conjunction with online stores.

IT'S WRONG TO ALLOW PEOPLE IN MARKET FOR 6 HOURS AND NOT ALLOW PEOPLE IN CHURCH FOR 2 HOURS- OYEDEPO

Church is not an essential service oga

Angelfrost:


In what way??! Is he wrong??! If you can allow people trade in markets with poor or no social distancing, and increased risks of community infection, why stop them from worshiping in better controlled centers??!...

If you have to pass laws, do it conclusively and inclusively!!!

Learn to remove bias when making comments... Not a fan of Oyedepo, but he did't make a wrong point here.

Please, peoples in the markets are they not members of one church or the others?

I respect my Muslims brothers!

If this vomits is coming from an Imam now, hell would have been let loose.

Bottomline, Financial struggles!!!!
No apologies!!!!!!!!!

Why are pastors not concerned about the safety of their members? Pray for solutions not adding to the issues.

God is everywhere not just in the church buildings.

Tissaia:
I noticed Igbo and yoruba are dragging themselves Lol, some are saying Amala is better than pounded yam, Semo and garri Ijebu, someone said Bishop oyedepo is Mbah and bankyW’s father lmao

I'm actually not interested in all these talks, I just want you to know that I'm here

PS. there's research conducted on atheist, all of them failed lie detector test when asked wether they believe God exist or not. The problems with atheist, they're angry with God for some reason best known to them. They're always paranoid, always arguing about God. They talked about God more than any religious person.

Ur talk on atheists is false, lousy n hopeless.

I'm irreligious.

If all the scientists left the lab and prayed who would discover the vaccine for Corona virus?

emmasege:
There are alternatives to 'church gathering' as individuals can still meet at family or house fellowship level. But there is no alternative to going to market. People must feed.

Abi Bishop will feed his flock (tens of thousands) with physical food after feeding them with spiritual food? Jesus did it, Bishop should also do it.

Bishop Oyedepo should announce free lunch for all worshippers on Sunday with an additional #5000 pocket money for indingent worshippers every Sunday.

And let no pastor sermonise worshippers to give. The giving should be voluntary and the poor should not be made to feel as if they sinned by not giving or that they are blocking their source of blessings by not paying tithe.

The gospel has gone beyond the elementary doctrines of tithing, giving and prosperity.

there is no other world to it you are wise this thing you exhibit is pure wisdom

Bad market for this Business men of God....it's evident covid-19 has dealt a heavy blow on their weekly profit taking . Now all of them are acting weird

Someone shud describe isolation center to this man so he deliver the patients.. Now is the time your games Healing is needed mostly

Nonsense!

Livi2020:

Oyedepo should simply use his anointing to end the pandemic so that the churches can open.

Simple

Gbam! ( u've said it all )

Then pray from home if indeed you think it is essential. Or do you think God will not hear you at home?
Hypocrisy!!!!

So amazing that some taught they were Jesus' secretary, yet common virus they cannot command out Nigeria. If they stop people from going to church, do they stop him from praying?

it is only in your church you pray

What this people don't understand is that Corona virus has let us know where priorities lie. All industries and businesses were closed except food and health. The world is not looking to religious leaders again but scientits. If some people cannot discern this things and re-evaluate their priorities, then that person is lost for good.

EmmyKrim:
he is saying the fact. Most people here are just unwise when it comes to spiritual things. Mind the way you abuse men of God, if you persist it will be to your own detriment.

fuckoff!

who is holding u back? go to church na

PHijo:


What about involving the military in the supply chain? What about paying money into every account connected to BVN so that people could buy prior to lockdown?
What about using toll free phone lines for orders? There are lots of things the government can do differently if they are serious.

We have not gotten to this stage. Supposing we can afford to pay into every account connected to a BVN, and allow people to shop, we still need great electricity supply to preserve perishables, especially meat and fish.

The NURTW have units in every nook and cranny of Nigeria. Their network can be used to sustain the supply chain instead of online stores or in conjunction with online stores.

And who would pay for all these things? A low-income country like Nigeria? Please, let us be realistic. Except you are not in this country, you should know the realities of things here.

The government knows that they are financially constrained by the mere size of our population against our meagre budget, and that was why they took the risk to ease lockdown.
