"Some fellows said I'm worth $150 Million, I said that's an insult...
Giving does not automatically result to prosperity, you have to be spiritual before your giving can be acceptable.
The church is not a bank where anything you bring is acceptable;.."
- Bishop David Oyedepo
Dear Pastor and Minister of Christ, if you are indeed pouring your life into and investing your resources into building people
Dear Christian, if you must have SENSE
Jesus sense...
Please resist the urge to start writing about or saying how ministry is about building men, and not about building structures. Please.
It will come to you to say this, especially when you see some pastors building hundreds of thousands seater auditoria.
Instead say "Get thee behind me Satan"
Just like having your own car is better than relying on public transport including uber; there is a level of business and ministry where having a jet is what you NEED.
Don't say "Jesus never built a building." Put your two hands on your head and say after me "I refuse to be unfortunate. I refuse to sound like Mr. Bean, in heaven. It is not me the angels will shake their heads for, in Jesus' name." Because, if you don't know, the Lord never built or owned a house while he was here. He didn't even have a donkey. Do the math. And watch your English.
Don't say "Do you know how much it takes to maintain..." He knows. She knows. You don't know anything about it. That's how people look at your car and want you to pay their rent and school fees and wonder how you can have such cars and not answer them and give them ordinary 300k for their business. Does it annoy you?
You are the same.
Verily, verily I say unto you...If you are offering a service and it increases in its reach and dimensions, you will need an office.
if you are selling things, and you start selling more and more things, you will soon need more than your frontyard or a shop. You will need a complex
If you are teaching children in one small room, and you begin to teach more and more until over a thousand students come to you, you will need a school
Even if you are cooking food and hundreds of people start coming around, you will need to upgrade to a higher and bigger facility. There are many eateries that look and feel posher than banks.
If you keep building men, one day you will need a place to meet with them. Your sitting room won't be enough. That place you rent upstairs won't be enough. That big hall in your area won't be enough. That secondary school won't be enough. You too will need a redemption camp, a salvation arena, a prayer city, a sanctification stadium, a glory tabernacle, a canaanland, a mountain of zion
Don't let the devil use your mouth to disqualify yourself. He will go to God and say "He said ministry is about building people, and not structures"
One of the greatest graces in ministry is the grace to mind your own business. There is the grace to pray, the grace to teach, the grace to heal, the grace to counsel, and so on...but greater than all of them, is the grace to shut up your sanctified mouth, and
Mind your business.
Pastors should build people, not structures.
So the 'built people' should meet where?
Under the sun and in the rain?
We call that - NYSC mentality
Christ is not coming for buildings bah?
Who ever said He is? Have you ever heard any pastor say that?
It's a simple question - where should Christians meet?
100,000 believers Christ is coming for should meet for worship where?
Inside Malachi, under Leviticus?
The early church met in homes abi....
Is Acts 2:46 or 5:13 a joke to you?
You cannot see that they met in the temple that it took 46 years to build?
Ehn....they should not have used billions to build a church auditorium. They should have built factories.
Hehehehehehehehe.
Yet you want to build or buy your house in Lekki and Mowe and London. Are you not a Christian? What do you need house for? Why are you paying rent in this economy?
Is Jesus coming for rent?😃
Why haven't you built shops instead?😀
How many people have you employed?🤔
Did Jesus have a house?😃
Even vulcanizer yard, you've not built🤔
Chai, you are eminently silliful
Immaculately lugubrious
But my words are not enough
My vocabulary it fails me, but permit me to cry out
- you are an OLODO.
That's your spiritual gift.
They should not have used billions bah?
They should have used what? Thousands? Of what?
Are we not talking about naira?
Such people don't know how to count
They hear billion and think it can buy heaven and earth.
They think we are talking about rice, beans, and tomato
They have bought many cartons of indomie
But they have never bought one bag of cement.
So when they hear of building, they think we are talking about making eba.
And egusi.
A very gentle good afternoon to you.
Ahead of the Holy Ghost Congress, The General Overseer of RCCG invited the EFCC Executive Chairman, Mr Ola Olukoyede, to address RCCG workers on financial propriety.
#RCCG#Integrity#AntiCorruption
@mayorde4you2 Most times ehh, if we don't have anything to say, it is best we keep quiet.
Who told you pentecostal pastors have not done anything for the people.
Salvation Ministries has a free school, they built home for the elderly and handed it to the Catholic church. Use your Internet.
If Jesus tarries and you live till ripe old age? RCCG will outlive you...Worse was said about CAC when the younger tribe moved into RCCG. The Holy-Ghost movement of the 70's/80's that birthed many charismatic denominations/churches didn't give the Anglican/Baptist/Methodist etc... a chance with massive youth outflux. The white garments were even worse. They're all still here and guess what? They're now even waxing much stronger noiselessly.
It might interest you to know that most of the once vibrant, highly impressionable and very mobile youths, who are now in mid-life are now running back to their home churches. I say again to you - There will be movements. That's the beauty of the body, but RCCG is going nowhere. I am not an RCCG member.
When pastor Adeboye was asking for 10 people to donate 1 billion each and you were screaming..
This is one of his children he's talking about ..
I go get to that level too and na 10 billion I go drop and you will just cry as usual
It was a great honour to visit the Presidency of Costa Rica alongside my beloved wife @pastorfoluadeboye during the National Crusade of Hope.
We were warmly received by President Laura Fernández, and I am grateful for this opportunity to strengthen relationships and share in conversations that underscore the importance of faith, hope, peace, and the transformation of lives.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not limited by borders, languages, or cultures. Our mission remains to take the message of salvation to every nation, trusting God to bring hope to individuals, families, and communities.
As we continue the National Crusade of Hope in Costa Rica, my prayer is that the light of Jesus will shine brightly across this beautiful nation, bringing salvation, healing, restoration, and a renewed hope for the future.
May the Lord bless President Laura Fernández and the people of Costa Rica, and may this nation continue to experience the goodness and peace of God.
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” — Habakkuk 2:14 (KJV)
Look at what the Lord has done. A crowd too wide to count, gathered under one sky, lifting one song, and a city that went to sleep one night and woke up to something it will never forget.
This is what hope looks like when a people stop watching from a distance and step into the light.
"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined." Isaiah 9:2
Costa Rica, the light has shined on you. May it never dim.
On the 17th, thousands filled the National Stadium in Costa Rica, as revival touched the city. Light up Costa Rica closes with an invitation given, men, women and young people from across the nation stepped forward to give their lives to Christ, so much there was not enough space to accommodate.
Different languages. One Saviour. One response.
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb." Revelation 7:9
Join me as I keep praying for Costa Rica and for every new believer.

MEN DEY!!!
Let me put this in context.
During yesterday’s teaching on expectations in relationships, we discussed what a 26-year-old woman should reasonably expect from a man at a similar stage of life.
We talked about expectations such as owning a car, having an iPhone, or receiving a monthly allowance of ₦1 million.
In the course of the conversation, a lady made a comment, and I asked her twice to repeat what she had said. The congregation echoed her response so I could hear her clearly.
This does not mean every woman in the church shares that mindset.
That moment is being interpreted in ways that miss the context of the conversation.
The point was simple: there is a difference between having standards and having expectations that may not be realistic for the stage of life you and your potential partner are in.
This was never about telling women not to have standards. It was about understanding that expectations should also be grounded in reality.
You can watch the full message on YouTube at Harvesters TV for the complete context.
Lekan, Pastor Bolaji did what was also scripturally correct, please. Let’s not be quick to “judge.”
This writeup, seems to me, is from a place of preconceived notion of who Pastor Bolaji is.
The man was admonishing them w/scriptures when they “men dey” chorused on him.
