Open Letter To Those Blaming Pastors For Nigeria’s Problem
December 28, 2017 – Open Letter To Those Blaming Pastors For Nigeria’s Problem
Here is an interesting open letter to all Nigerians blaming Pastors for the present economic hardship in the country shortly after Area Fada Charly Boy joined Daddy Freeze to call out Nigerian Pastors.
“The fact is many Nigerians are loosing it. They can’t think beyond going after pastors.
In what way has pastors prevented Nigeria from owning an Airline
In what way do pastors prevent Nigeria from having industries
Less than 0.0001% of pastors own Jets in Nigeria. But no let us forget the over 70% that earn less than 50k/month and focus on the 0.0001% than own jets.
If you ran your governments the way church leaders are running churches. Nigeria might be a Qatar right now. In all these argument Canaanland has had stable electricity and water supply for its over 15,000 residents since 1999 and is already on the verge of converting waste to electricity.
RCCG is producing 25MW of electricity. Yet your govt you pay compulsory tax, vat, CIT, Pet Tax has not been able to give you light decades after independence.
Living Faith has more than 25,000 Staff and has never owed any of them salary! Yet your state govt that collects Allocation plus Tax cannot pay full salary.
Living Faith a single Church is schooling 16 thousand of your Citizens in Higher institutions and many more at primary and Secondary levels yet you think you have the capacity to waggle your tongue.
I went for Shiloh all through and stayed in the staff quarters yet it was electricity all through, for one second water did not go off inspite of thousands that were present. On a normal day you won’t walk 20 meters before you find a segregated bin to dispose your waste.
The entire area was fully covered by different layers of Security with multiple CCTV and IoT enabled barrier gates. And yet your Abuja, capital of the Nation does not have CCTV yet you open your …. mouth to talk down on pastors!
Between the guy that calls himself Area father and Oyedepo who resigned a federal job and started a Church of 3 people and has widened it to over 6,000 churches globally, over 200 schools, 2 hospitals, Over 1000 hectares farm for livestock and crop, Another farm in Igbesa and CU. With 15,000 housing Estate in progress, Water factories, Zeolite factory, One Research center, a scholarship fund, Beverage factories, 10 million books, Publishing house, Radio Station etc who has had more impact or who will have better capacity to govern the nation?.
Canaanland hosts hundreds of thousands of people every week yet no stampede ever. Government gathered people at stadium for recruitment exercise and before it even began many were dead!
Living Faith already has a master plan till 2032 yet govt does not have a plan for 2020!
You know Illogicality is the trademark of most Africans. They fail to think beyond their prejudices and sentiments hence Africa has remained on the ground.”

God bless the writer. I hope the powers that be (that is the politicians)will read this. All they care for is their stomach and ways to steal more than the other person.

Those churches are flourishing because of situation of things in Nigeria which have made those GO’S god of man which they are really enjoying, and if they are genuinely working for God and believe in one Nigeria,those light will be shining every part of Nigeria.
They are only helping the government in keeping people on check or in bondage by telling them what to do,when to do and how to do it, hard to find someone who can reason independently and boldly come out to tell the government they are wrong,rather,they will induce more fear on people,telling them they are not progressing or will die because they are not paying tithe.
If those your pastors who are controlling massive Nigeria population will come together and ginger their members to rise up against this oppressive regime (it didn’t start now anyway),you mean Nigeria will not have a better leader and Nation? But they won’t do that because they are part of the government,they will only tell them their reward will be after life.
But at the end,God knows those who are genuinely serving HIM

I broadly categorize Human being into three namely; 1. History makers 2.History writers and 3.History readers
If a man knows its easy to make history let him try it. People who criticise Men of God should go ahead and open their churches. ” if one territorial demon” will not slap you out of human existence.
Anyway, my advice let us be constructive in the way we criticize people. Especially, the evil ideas that can discourage patrotic citizens in the good work they doing.

Thank you my Brother. Their is no message that Satan and his human agent can preach about tithe and pastor will prevail. That can only convince people in their own camp. Daddy Freeze and Charley Boy should know that the more they make noise the more God is adding to His.Church. It happen in the days of Apostles so is not a new thing.

T0 open letter writer
As a devoted Christian and Reedmite , I hereby make my contributions
Good to know you have very minute statistical evidence to back your write up but failed to look at the people’s complaint holistically.
1, Donation for the so called universities were made my church congregations whom 90% of them can never afford to send their children to
2, if a church could manage fee paying school successfully or afford a plane , then it does not make them a charity organization anymore, hence they are liable to pay government tax.
3, The congregation of the so called churches that ply the road in a month is more than the number of the citizen that ply the road in a year . Look at how many churches that are on lagos – ibadan express road and the rate of accident due to overuse of these roads . Hence I believe the churches should be making contribution to federal government on the road use.
4, All the church properties are there to enrich some of these worldly pastor . If they are charity , the properties should on churches names rather on pastors name e.g UKICC. You should all find out why UKICC suddenly moved the headquarters to Nigeria . Find out from UK GOvt .

Constantine has done a very good job, I can’t imagine what would have happened if he had included his name in the holy bible, Christian would be like “in the name of Constantine our lord and personal savior” LOL.
You guys better wake up and face the reality, I know this has been deep-rooted in our mind, but we need to face the reality.
The first best time to face the reality was many years ago, the second best time is now.
Stop enriching your pastors, enrich yourself.
