Following the release of a controversial 'Sacrifice Form' Issued by pastor in charge of Region 14 of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to church members, The Church headquarters has released a statement reacting to the controversy.
See the statement below
According to the sacrifice form, N1 million and above is a "divine sacrifice".
Full month salary is an abundant sacrifice, but if you give your half month salary, it is dominion sacrifice. N200,000 gets you greatness sacrifice, N50,000 - golden sacrifice and N20,000 is a sacrifice for those wishing for the next level.
The 'Sacrifice Form' sparked outrage on social media, with many accusing the pastor of exploitation in the name of religion.
According to a photo also revealed yesterday to justify the release of the 'Sacrifice form' The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Region 14 explained the benefits of sacrificial giving.

Pls,can somebody show me where it is stated explicitly in the bible,divine,abundant,golden,next level etc all sacrifices. Where is the church headed? Is this truly the will of God or Men? This expansion in terms of physical buildings that will ultimately perish can not be priority to God. The maker is principally concerned with estate of soul of men. This error need be corrected and not just subtly distancing church authority from the practice. It has to stop period.
ReplyDeleteMy dear, all of them are all doing business.
DeleteFraudulent taking form. God is beyond material and ephemeral thing. God requires our Good heart and our love of him. O to! All these thing going on in most churches today is pure fraud. Who are you to attach the percentages to God's free gifts and favours just because you want to extort money. Shameful! The wrought of God is in all those using his name to deceive people.And woe to those who sheepishly follow such men for they are no better than pagans and idol worshipers. Their god - Daddies, mummies GOs, prophets, pastors. Sad! All are fack just seeking their glory and glory of men and their families
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I don't see anything wrong with giving or motivating people to give, even in this way. The only problems will be the question of communication, intentions or motives and jurisdictional capacity of the Pastor in question.
ReplyDeleteU are a THIEF!
DeleteI agree with the first commentator. It is expected that RCCG Hq will disown the Pastor publicly but the Pastor had not done anything different from what is obtainable in RCCG worldwide. Similar call had been severally made by the General Overseer in the past to raise fund for the church e.g Club 70 etc.
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy on His Church!
The headquarters by that statement sees nothing wrong with the form, after all the members are not being forced to give. Seriously, I SMH. Anyway, what do u expect when they have become so political and occupy a position in a government for the elites where lies and wickedness abound. May God help their blind followers
ReplyDeleteSo how else should it be stopped?
ReplyDeletethe end will tell.
ReplyDeleteGiving is Biblical. If you don't want to give, keep your money and shut up. The Israelites gave to build the Temple.
ReplyDeleteWhen commenting please be cautious or mindful of what you say or better still leave it for them and God
ReplyDeleteGood morning all, l wish those who has made d previous comments and those who we wish to make comment read dis and be guided.
ReplyDeletePlease and please stop saying derogatory statement about a man of God so dat you will not at the end carry a curse dat will cause you and your family pains.
You could chose to be indifferent to any belief or not so as to stay afloat and be focus on your own salvation.
Daddy Adeboye is a man after God heart and so be careful how you disparage his calling.
God bless us all
Mumu. So Adeboye na God A ni. Peanut brain. Even Paul in the Bible stopped those who wanted to worship him telling them that he was not God. That is how you follow follow people dey mumu follow mere mortals who have their children live like kings and queens.in various places and at best schools in overseas. Continue to deceive yourself. It is only God I will worship.you are worshiping men which is idolatry.
DeleteMy friend get out of here human being worshiping human your type arethe main problem in this country. Instead of worshipping the Almighty father you worship some human anything they say is final continue no give yourself brain
DeleteO YE OF LITTLE FAITH! THIS IS MANKINDS SOLUTION ! SACRIFICE WHAT YOU CALL MONEY, GOD IS GREATER THAN ALL OUR MONEY PUT TOGETHER
ReplyDeleteThese type of religious blackmail or coesion of the poor and vulnerable (using carefully selected quotes from the Bible) to give or sow in the church on the various disguise of entering the kingdom of God
ReplyDeleteusing pschological sensitivities of our people to dupe them "in the name of God". Instead of the Church (Mainly Penticostal churches), to preach and lead their followers to attain moral and spiritual heights to prepare them for ethernity, instead these shylock pastors are rather building kingdoms here on earth for themselves while the society continues to decay morally. Our major cities are awash with billboards of pastors and their wives jostling for space with other adverts, aluding to the belief that it is just business and nothing more.
Bread and butter churches. So if you don't give, you will not be blessed. Con men parading as pastors.
ReplyDeleteReligiousness as a business is a scam. Be a Muslim, period.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Jesus Christ is the only way,as a a matter of there is no other name in which a man will ever be saved except through the name of Jesus. Islam or Muslim is not an option period.
DeleteI'll rather be scammed by christianity than to become a murderous religion called muslim
DeleteWhether you choose to be a Muslim or Christian is not what matters my people. It is your commitment to God that is important. Are you really sincere in your affairs with Him? Ask yourselves.
DeleteIt's all about your personal conviction. You either believe and give or you don't.
ReplyDeleteSo disturbed about many comments. If giving is good in your own eyes do it and if not leave those who do it. It is a matter of your relationship with your maker.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, both the sacrifice form and the disclaimer are fake.
ReplyDeleteI understand(and stand to be corrected) that all RCCG parishes have names which are obviously not stated in any of the publications.
I believe this is another social media mischief maker at work.
If u don't bliv in it don't do it, don't discourage pple that are doing it cos they know what they get frm doing it.
ReplyDeleteIf you have intention to give dont even wait to be given this form..
ReplyDeleteGive massively and cheerfully and you will be joyful you did ..
afterall all God freely gives you the oxygen that keeps you alive every second, that makes you prancing about feeling cool...
I BELIEVE YOU ARE ONE OF THE SCAMMERS PASTORS (MANY OF THEM HAVE SET UP CAMPS IN LEKKI AXIS WHERE BUSINESS IS NOW BOOMING AND THEY CAN CON AND HOOK THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE SUPER RICH). WHY CAN'T THESE PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES OPERATE JUST LIKE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, ANGLICAN, METHODIST OR BAPTIST INCLUDING THE JEHOVAH WITNESSES, WHERE THE HOUSE OF GOD AND ITS OPERATION IS RUN LIKE A REAL MINISTRY WHERE NO "PASTOR AND PASTOR MRS" CAN RUN THE CHURCH AND ITS AFFAIRS LIKE THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS AND EMPIRE. THEY RIP-OFF INNOCENT AND GULLIBLE CONGREGATION IN THE GUISE OF GIVING THEM FAKE MIRACLES AND EARTHLY GAINS WITHOUT SEEKING FOR THEM THE KINGDOM OF GOD BUT INSTEAD THEY ARE AMASSING EARTHLY WEALTH AND BUILDING THE KINGDOM OF MAN.
DeleteWITH THIS STATEMENT WHAT THE REDEEM CHURCH IS SAYING IS THAT ONLY THE RICH CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD AFTER THEY DONATE PROCEEDS OF ILL GOTTEN WEALTH (THE CHURCH IS LESS CONCERNED HOW THE MONEY IS GOTTEN AND IF YOU MAY HAVE SPILLED A HUMAN BLOOD FOR ALL THEY CARE) THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD FOR THEM IS NOT FOR THE POOR EXCEPT THEY CAN PAY FOR IT...WHICH GOES CONTRARY TO WHAT THE BIBLE HAS SAID. VERY SOON, ALL THESE FAKE MIRACLE WORKING AND SWINDLING PASTORS AND WIVES SHALL BE EXPOSED IJN.

Religion should teach more about salvation and relationship with your creator. Most of them lay too many emphasis on materialism - come and give and you shall receive ... tithe here tithe there.
ReplyDeleteIf we exert same energy in the teaching and practicing of the core values of religion, this world would have been a great place to live in ... SINCE!!!
With all the monies collected from their followers in the name of sowing the seed and miracles, they are gradually being exposed by God himself. Just a few day ago a popular pastor and G.O. of one of the Pentecostal Church in Benin City was arrested when one member of his gang of "Fake Miracles" actors reported him to the police apparently after he was promised an agreed sum but was not paid after he acted like a crippled man in front of the innocent congregation.

ReplyDeleteThe Body of Jesus Christ will continue to march on and the gates of hell can not and will never prevail against it. The church of men on the other hand is open to all forms of attacks from within and without. Let him that has ears hear the Holy Spirit,let him also that has eyes see the move of Holy Spirit.
ReplyDeleteI can assure you all that both the 'Sacrificial Form' and the disclaimer are fake. Someone is simply looking for trouble!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong in sacrificial giving but must be done in conviction and not under compulsion just like the RCCG authority stated. We must understand that our God is the ultimate sacrificial giver, He gave out His only begotten son (JESUS CHRIST)as a sacrifice for the salvation of the whole world. Therefore, sacrificial giving is a platform of God's blessing and whosoever engage this mystery will continue to enjoy His divine touch.
ReplyDeletePsheew, so now giving is now categorized ?!! It is only a matter of time, one day your followers will wake up or your deeds will be exposed. All churches and pastors not sent by heaven...... watch out for part 2 . As for gullible members of the public who are quick to jump to the defense , in due time , you will see them enjoying your public funds while you struggle to take care of yourself in old age. Start asking them questions , they are accountable to you and don't just keep writing the cheques.
ReplyDeleteAnd please lets stop comparing God's gift of his only begotten Son with our material gifts - what he did was His call and not dependent on any man's choice or because of our looks , loots and all the things we attach importance to.
ReplyDeleteThe best of man's gifts cannot come close to what heaven requires. You want to know what God really wants from you ? Focus on your scriptures instead of your pastors and you should really put your efforts towards Love for your God and fellow man. I am not sure the silvered tongue preachers out there who makes us feel good when we open our purses to them are doing the right thing.
