Go and read how God responded to David in 2 sam 7:1-29 for just thinking of building him a temple. I wonder wen building God a church suddenly became an earthly show of wealth.
And let me return ur question
Are u a Christian?
Do u worship under the sun on sundays?

Sir... let me educate you.

The promises of God to David... was nothing compared to your “secured”. Probably you should go down the line of generations of David and see how many of them experienced any “secured” grace as you have used it.

Gods promise of establishing David and his generation was referring to our Lord Jesus Christ... who is to come in his (David’s) lineage... and Who is meant to be a King forever.

Sir.... building 1 thousand temple... and just fall short of one of the commandments of God - perhaps just unbelieving or fear - THE PERSON IS GOING TO THE LAKE OF FIRE, not even Hell fire (Rev 21:cool.


You guys should understand the difference between prosperity and entering kingdom of God. They are both mutually exclusive. It’s a kingdom principle that if you sow u reap. You don’t need to be a believer to enjoy that. But the kingdom of God - my brother - buying temple doesn’t secure it sir!

mtchwwwwwwwww
Hatred and jealousy will just cause u guys to be talking trash. where did anybody say that the guy will go to heaven because of the church he built. Am talking of financial prosperity and u are here getting all religious because of jealousy . The promises of God to David was wat Solomon enjoyed. Even at a time God wanted to destroy Judah and the kings, he remembered David, Did the kingship ever leave Judah? Go and study ur bible and stop claiming religion

wow
This is so amazing
That member will never ever run dry in his life again.
He has secured his life, the life of his kids, the lives of his grandchildren because he built a house for a God that remembers the good works of a servant and blesses even up to his 10th generations.
Many will say he is foolish, but can a man who made so much money be that foolish as not to know the right place to invest his money?

Let me see wat those our tithe our offering bla bla bla haters will have to say

Are you God's secretary or personal assistant? As at the last time I read my wife's Bible, only God blesses and condemn.

Though, it's good to build house of God prior to it's everlasting investment in this world and hereafter but if the source of resources used for the building God's house such person only deceiving its self because the Supreme being won't reward it, such person will be punish for atrocities it committed.

May almighty Allah continue to bless our hustle to a genuine success in His grace and for the benefit of humanity.

Some folks are just jealous and hide under the toga of religiosity to condemn this church. You wonder what is their problem..

Did Winners Chapel as a church build the N1b facility:No
Did Bishop Oyedepo Build that church:No.

A church member, a wealthy pastor of the church single handedly built the facility and donated it to Winners chapel to use for their services. Oh the member shouldn't have done that, we have eneough churches so the pharisees and saducees will say..or the money used by the member to build the church should have been given to the poor..Oh I see.

Question..You are ranting nonsense..is it your money?
is it your father's money? is it even church money? On what basis do you even have a right to tell someone what to do with his money..if he likes he can build as many churches as he likes..so you complaining and jealousing the church and the pastor, what is your stupid problem. I don't get it. Some folks are so daft.. anything related to church matter, they just yarn garbage without any reasoning.

They always remain foølish to a føol.
Out of the unbelief and abundance of the heart they challenge God as to His choice of who He blesses.
If you castigate this man and challenge him what of Bill Gates etc?
Don't forget Solomon used the best of hands and material for God's house.
God don't require best hands of buildings anymore how long are going to understand that?
Our body is already God's temple

Aragon:


When it comes to the THINGS of GOD,
neither you or me or your pastor, Pope president or any human alive should have an Opinion..... We leave it to GOD to say exactly how he wanted it. Moses had an Opinion and he couldnt obey a Simple command. The water did come out of the ROCK when he struck it, but he paid dearly cos he couldnt enter the promised Land even though he worked so hard leading the people. The reason why I am saying this is, many people are always forgetting that we have the BIBLE to refrence anything and find out God's opinion. People are either too Lazy to READ or they now worship their Pastors and accept whatever he says without Refrencing the BIBLE and that is why we have posts like yours with over 100 LIKES.... Now GOD clearly said "He does not Live in a House Built with Human Hands, rather he Lives inside you Now" So how then can you call this a "House of GOD"? It is a Place where the CHURCH of Christ meet to Fellowship etc but not the House of GOD... And Jesus clearly states that if you want to give Money to GOD, you should give it to the Poor people around, take care of them etc.... Nigeria has So many Buildings where Christians meet to Fellowship, yet a lot of these Christians are sugffering and starving cos of the hardship in the Country, so why Keep Building more? Why not use that Money and divide it amongst the Christians giving each a little something to start a small business or so, that is how you will actually get the Blessings you just described and not adding more to the Thousands of Buildings while the CHURCH itself is starving and hungry.... Reading the Bible helps a lot, cos you are better educated about the Opinions of GOD and what he expects from us and not what somebody esle told you. Stay Blessed
Listen to your own argument..... Now, When Moses erred who made him accountable? God or the Israelites. If God needed no one to deal with Moses when he faultered then God needs no one to deal with his pastors. The only thing you are free to do with any "erring" ministry is to leave the place if you don't believe in their mandate.
Stop asking me why we chose to build a multi billion naira building for God's work. Do you ask that same nonsense question when millions of dollars are used in building stadiums where some 22 persons would be dancing around field for 90 minutes yet you did not complain. You all would go there and watch and be happy because that's where your heart lies.
My heart lies in the Church and we Christians who are happy in the Church very much deserve to make the place we commune the best places on earth. Now, if I won't presume to tell you what to do with your money then don't tell me what to do with mine!
And yes it is the House of God because where two or more are gathered there God is present in their midst.

Investing in the gospel is a risk worth taking...
The anonymous person gas done well but if there is a single poor person in his entire family then he has done absolutely nothing worth commending
Spot on. Has he evangelized his entire village, or the people there don't have souls? Has he empowered them economically, do they have good healthcare? I bet some of his nephews or distant relations are graduates and unemployed.

You miss the point entirely. Comparing a church building with a football stadium is laughable. Hope that was a joke. Now seriously, the church has abandoned missions to the hinterlands. There are locations that the gospel has not reached in Nigeria. Guess they can't give fat offerings talk more of paying tithes. God will ask our mega pastors questions. All the money spent on building universities that average Christians cannot afford can evangelize a whole lot of souls.

Some people will not just have sense no matter how you try to persuade them. They Will even give stupid defence that will make you question if they are human or just robot programmed to take all the bullshiiit their religious leaders throw at them.

Imagine someone up there keep shouting bill gates up and down. Do you know how many people employed by companies owned by Bill gates? If bill had built church like this our cheerful giver, would he have helped solve unemployment problem? And yes he donates to charity and not to religious institutions which he is member of the board of trustees with his family.

Another one was foaming in the mouth calling Solomon and setting him as a standard for wasteful spending. One question, are u practising Judaism or Christianity? I thought Christianity involves doing things Christ would've done in a particular situation and not doing what Christ wouldn't do. Just go back and read how flamboyant Christ was while on earth. Let us know if he would've have encouraged this act you are all applauding.

If u don't call this wasteful spending, i wonder what you will call it. A building worth 1billion which will not be opened on Sundays for services. For God's sake this church wouldn't even take up to 20people off the labour market NA. Ahn ahn.

In fact am much more disposed to the idea of establishing a business worth that Amount, and allowing only members of the church to work there. It would've have been win-win situation.He wouldve done a noble thing and even gotten accolades for helping out his fellow members. Smh....But no, even those ones are busy celebrating building that has no value to them


Our actions are a prophecy to our future ...a man who spends his time telling the rich how to spend his resources rather learning how to become rich clearly lacks wisdom and is bound to be under forever


If I were you, I would do exactly what the donor did in that area I feel he ought to have invested his resources and then call him out.

Wen Solomon sacrificed a thousand rams and sheeps to God, many Israelites were suffering in hunger, Wen Mary poured a very costly oil on the feet of Jesus, many beggars were on the streets, wen Solomon built a temple of gold to God, there were many beggars in Israel. So stop wailing Mr Wailer.
