Pastors are one of the most rich people in Ghana. Why so many churches in Ghana? Where do pastors get their monies from? Why are so many one -man churches in Ghana? According to the scriptures, tithing is not compulsory but because of the love of money, pastors have made the payment of tithe in their churches compulsory.

SPIRITUALITY ON SALE. "If we have INVESTED spiritual things in you, is it wrong that we reap your material things"? Guys, did you hear him? Question: Why don't you invest your so-called spirituality in yourself and reap the material benefits thereof? Why would you ask the church to pray for a congregant who has a physical need like a car for God to 'open doors' for them but when the pastor needs a car you ask the church to contribute physical money to buy one? You are just another thief and hyena and a criminal and charlatan in cassock. Go out and work to earn a decent day's wages.

READ YOUR BIBLES!!!! READ YOUR BIBLES!!!!!!!
STOP PAYING THE TITHES!! THESE AVARICIOUS PREACHERS ARE NOT LEVITICAL PRIESTS.
WHICH LAND WAS SHARED AND THESE AVARICIOUS PREACHERS WERE LEFT OUT????? LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD NO LONGER EXIST!!!!!!
CHURCH FUNDING MUST BE DONE VOLUNTARILY, REMEMBER THE WIDOW'S MITE (LUKE 21:1-4). WHEN GOD SHARED THE LAND AMONG THE 12 TRIBES, HE LEFT OUT THE LEVITES AND INSTITUTED TITHES FOR THEM (NUMBERS 18:20-
24). WHERE ARE THE LEVITES IN THE NEW COVENANT??
PRIESTHOOD CHANGED
WITH THE COMING OF CHRIST (HEBREWS 7 & 8:7)). EVEN IN THE OLD COVENANT, TITHE WAS NOT A TENTH OF YOUR FARM PRODUCE BY FORCE (DEUT 14:22-29).
WHEN SENDING THE TENTH OF THEIR
PRODUCE AND THE WAY IS FAR, THEY COULD CONVERT IT TO CASH AND USE SOME TO BUY ANYTHING THEIR HEART DESIRE, THE BIBLE EVEN MENTIONS STRONG DRINK!!! (DEUT 14:22-29)
& TO HELP THE NEEDY TOO (DEUT 26:10-16). PREACHERS MUST NOT BE AVARICIOUS!!!! (LUKE10:7) APOSTLE
PAUL WORKED AND
ENJOYED THE FRUITS OF HIS LABOUR AND SUPPORTED OTHERS
TOO WITH HIS MONEY (ACTS 20:34). HE USED HIS OWN RENTED ACCOMMODATION FOR CHURCH SERVICE FOR 2 YEARS
(ACTS 28:30-31)
Here is Acts 28:30–31 from the King James Version:
30 And Paul the Apostle dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
LEADERS OF THE EARLY CHURCH WORKED WITH THE HANDS GOD GAVE THEM***** TODAY, WE SEE THIEVES!!!
STEALING IN THE NAME OF GOD!!!
************
****** Acts
20:34-35 (New International
Version) APOSTLE PAUL
SAID; -
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions. (A) 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to take".
PAUL said in ——***1Corinthians 11:1 >
(New International Version)
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

The Churches, the Pastors and their families, and elders of the Churches should be audited by the National Audit Service, and made to pay taxes too. Many innocent Church Members are threatened to give to the Church instead of their families first or they shall go to Hell and burn. And is burning in Hell Fire really Biblical? When did it become part of Christianity when Jesus himself was not a Christian. Jesus was a member of Judaism and was even at the Temple having teachings with the Elders of the Temple. Jesus Christ never preached about any unquenchable fire in the Bible. Old Testament never made mention of Hell. Can someone prove me wrong with a Biblical reference or quotation? I am ready for it.

And listen to a supposed Man of God. You get to the Pulpit and threaten your congregation that if they don’t give all they have, they shall be dumped into Hell where they shall burn forever in an unquenchable fire. Out of fear of such fire, many of your congregants give all they have and even borrow to give to your ONE MAN CHURCH. Is that not stealing from your Church members? If it is not, then he should tell us what it is. I am very well versed in the Bible so you can never dupe people like me with your false interpretations of the Bible.
This man is a Certified and an Accomplished thief and a dupe. I wish Churches and their Pastors can be audited by the National Audit Service so that the fake ones can be imprisoned.
This man is damn stupid and a fool that he expects Congregants to give to him and his damn silly and foolish self before they take care of themselves and their families. That is just madness. Can there be a situation where all Churches, Pastors, Church Elders can be audited and should not be allowed to take control of the finances of the church? The Church Pastors are blood suckers who just fleece Church members. Is paying Tithe Christian or belonged to the Old Testament times when the Levity did not work but were taken care of to be responsible to help take care of Church Members with needs. I wish Efo Julor John Rawlings had banned all the One Family Controlled Ministries.
There are too many of them who are fake and opportunists.

Nobody is saying it is wrong to give to God's work. The problem is do these Pastors account to the members? How many Churches after a period have a meeting with members to tell how much was raised and how it was spent? The Pastor said churches in Ghana have lawyers, Doctors and other professionals as members but what he did not say is that, when it comes to religion, the average Ghanaian doesn't think. You may have people with PHD and other higher education and you will see a SSS drop out as Pastor and they will not question him or call for financial accountability neither will they be able read between his fake miracles. Gradually, people eyes are getting opened these days when it comes to Pastors and their tricks.

Hahahaha. FACT, what you just posted can never be a Fact. Which One Man/Woman Church Pastor will do that? Never. They will only continue to fleece the members of their One Man/Woman Churches. They can never get anything from me except when a contribution is made to a very needy person at the church. Even then, I will want to find out if the person is really in need and that if the one the only needy one.
I shall insist that the money should be paid directly into the account of the individual and a select group of the Church members should monitor how the donated money is used by the individual, especially if it is for Health or Rental needs. The Pastors should not be involved in how the money is used but a select group. People have been cheated for far too long by these One Man/Woman Pastor churches and this should end.

Who expected him to agree that they are greedy bastards fleecing poor people in the name of God? Which of the prophets and Apostles the claim they represent lived such affluent and comfortable lives like they do? They have replaced God with themselves and lied about the very God they preach. They will shout "touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm" when they are exposed. Meanwhile that statement from God was made about his people and not their leaders.
Repent and tend God's sheep like he asked Peter. Go back to Acts chapter 2 and do the work of God well
