He is on point...May God bless him for me Kindly ponder on 1 Corinthians 6 Vs 19 and you will get to know that you as a being that is in good terms with God represents the "Church of God" The church (building/premises) is just a physical structure 235 Likes 12 Shares |

This is a big knock on the head for those show off miracle working pastors. By the way why the desperation about church opening. Most of this pastors befor they have large crowd, u see them on TV radio stations preaching the gospel. I think same should happen now. Religion is a scam 63 Likes 9 Shares |

Some pastors are emperors and lords of the manor in their mind, they have taken the church as an empire that must continue to thrive at all cost even sometimes to the detriment of their followers. A healthy worshipper is an healthy church. Even if rapture takes place on a Sunday, majority will still not make heaven.... 27 Likes 2 Shares |

Pastor Poju, is 100% wrong. I'm not surprised he can spew this nonsense. Lots of people, don't see and understand what Bishop Oyedepo and Pastor Oyakhilome Chris is seeing and talking about. Lots of you, toeing the line of thought of Pastor Oyemade, don't know, the power of the cooperate church. If you know, you will not be in his support. You don't know, what damage, spiritually the closure of the place of worship has done to lots of believers, lots of Christians will never be the same after this lockdown and closure Wait till the closure is lifted, then you will understand.

honeyB2018: How many church buildings did Apostles Peter and Paul build? Atleast, they wrote over 75% of the new testament. The church in Ephisus, was it a physical building during the days of the great persecution? Also, juxtapose your assertion with the Biblical elucidations that " the kingdom of God is within thee". Luke 17:20-21, particularly at verse 21. Also, the old church shared everything in common and non lacked. Even those who had benefited from the good will of others but wanted to be greedy with theirs, met fatal punishment. How well has our modern church copied such precedent? Acts 4: 30-End; Acts 5. During this period of Covid-19, how well is the church resources being shared amongst members of the church and by extension, members of the public as a tool of evangelism? Jesus fed the congregation because He knew the importance of food to the body(biological feeding), and salvation to the soul( spiritual feeding). How well has our church emulated this biblical precedent during COVID-19. Is this not the best time to win souls to the kingdom via the apt deployment of both mechanism? Jesus and Apostle Peter were both leaders of the Church, both yet they knew they were trustees of the church, thus, gave good account of stewardship and didn't owe much personal property. Acts 4:32-End Even Jesus lead by example by borrowing the a colt He used for triumphant entry. He could afford to buy one of the very best, and his actions will be justified because it is for the propagation of the gospel , but instead borrowed one. Mark 11:3. ***Take notice that this is a lame excuse being used by our religious leaders in an attempt to justify the luxurious lifestyle and the acquisition of aircrafts and phantom automobiles. But that is a discourse for another day. From Apostle Peter's encounter with the man at the beautiful gate, it is apt to conclude that He didn't control the church resources even as a leader and pastor of the first church. He thus gave freely that which he had which was his anointing and heal the man of his infirmity. Can same be said for modern-day pastors and spiritual leaders? What changed? Finally, lockdown has been lifted in some parts of the western world such as Italy where the church began, but the physical place of congregation is still under lockdown. Most of these pastors have church branches within such domicile, why are they not condemning the govt of such state as they do Nigeria? Kindly educate my ignorance. I await your timely response, God bless. I am an Omnist and Bible student. I know there are 4200+ religion in our modern-day world, and that God is not a Christian, but He is" I am that I am". Reference: God is not a Christian by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. I offer my highest regards. I have questions for my Muslim brothers too, but we will address that another day.

Firstly lockdown is not necessary. Sweden did not do lockdown and they are experiencing decline in covid cases We did not lock down during Ebola crisis yet we prevail over . Secondly Churches are ordained to meet physically. And real christ loving Christian's who knows the bible should not speak the language of the enemy.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

petra1: Has this gathering not be taking place in a family setting and online via the deployment of the online church? Has gathering stopped? Assuming there was military warfare with bombs raining down from the sky and bullets in all directions, will you advocate any form of physical assembly? Is it in any way different from this biological warfare the world is fighting at this time? In Acts 4:30-32, the old congregation gathered, was it in a church? Pastors have often time posited that they saw a vision wherein the good Lord revealed to them that they will address millions and billions of congregants from a single location. Don't you think that prophecy is presently been fulfiled via the deployment of the online church as such pastors now address millions of online worshippers from one spot? Is this not a church or a gathering in satisfaction of your rejoinder? Did the Isrealites congregate in the temple in times of war? By the way, you did not address the second and third arm of my question. Are being dodgy and cherry picking? 215 Likes 16 Shares |

[quote author=litigator post=89344790] Has this gathering not be taking place in a family setting [\quote] So what is the need of social distancing then . They can't meet in church but they can meet sat home.? Is not contradiction? and online via the deployment of the online church Online is only for partial use . A medium to reach others . It can't take the place of gathering . Can you lay hands online ? Has gathering stopped? Assuming there was military warfare with bombs raining down from the sky and bullets in all directions, will you advocate any form of physical assembly? Let the bomb come first . Even during persecution the church still met. The church must meet at all cost as much as possible. We gather to break communion and fellowship 1 John 1:7 we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

litigator: Well I felt they were no issues . The church has responsibilities to its members and I'm aware many churches send money and food to brethren and even took some to outsiders . Somw Churches are reaching out for souls at this time both online and onsite . Because of the signs of the end times . Not all churches though .

Unnecessary debates and fault findings under this thread. All the ministers of God were correct. Pastor Poju shouldn't have spoke ill of their demands, but to add and spice it up for balancing. There are different callings- Royal, Higher, and Holy. Evangelical ministers moves about the streets, markets, places, etc... Pastoral ministers are like holy priests whose call is to feed the flocks when they gathered, hence the Church building according to modern wisdom and advancement. The Church should cease to condemn each other. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

This is one thing about we Christians I hate. We oppose ourselves on the pages of newspapers as well as on social media platforms. This explains why we are not being taken seriously as we ought to as a church. Instead of this back and forth or show of shame, I expected them to have had a meeting amongst themselves and come out with a decision. Yes not all will agree and it is understandable since we are not zombies, but to be countering each other publicly like this is a shame on our pastors. Our brothers and sisters in Islam will never do this. Yes they have their disagreements but you will never see them nor any of their followers come online to disgrace themselves as the norm is in Christianity. 22 Likes 2 Shares |
