I used to hear people preach that salvation is free but nowadays, salvation has gotten a price tag. Pastors have turned churches into business enterprises and the word of God is now marketable. I know some die-hard, brainwashed Nigerian christians will object to criticizing any pastor because according to them, 'pastors are spirit led' and no one should question their actions.
I'm a Christ Embassy member oh....but that doesn't mean i should shut up when people are being brainwashed all in the name of christianity. Where in the bible did Jesus or any of his disciples asked for money in exchange for God's word? Was the world smaller than it is right now that pastors now use every given opportunity to milk christians all in the name of 'sharing God's word around the world'? Abi whoever wrote the bible omitted that Jesus and his disciples used jets and luxury cars to share God's word around the world?
Pastoring is now the latest booming career in Nigeria which has led even native doctors into becoming automatic pastors. Na who want carry last? Everybody is now spirit filled. lol
With all the mega donations, offerings, tithes, seed sowing, etc... from church members, people are now asked to buy tickets so as to be able to listen to God's word from a 'man of God'.
These days, pastors preach nothing other than 'prosperity'. Salvation and repentance are no longer in vogue, the more they preach prosperity and giving, they more money they make.
They collect from the poor who strive to make ends meet and use it to live a luxury life, build mega schools for the rich, drive luxury cars, fly with jets, wears designers clothes and shoes, live in mega houses while the tithe, offering givers and seed sowers live in 'face-me-i-face-you' houses and buy 'okrika clothes'.
Christianity has seriously gone wrong and all these so called pastors are now using it to milk people for their own selfish interests. Pastors, are you not supposed to live a simple life on earth and wait for your reward in heaven? I just hope he won't be collecting Tithes and Offerings after the gate fees and i hope he pays whoever wrote the bible for marketing what's in it. SMH!
