It's not always about victories.
The Haverhill High hockey team hasn't had a winning season, but the Hillies have played hard and provided entertaining games for their fans.
One of those occasions was last week, when the Hillies played North Andover High and lost a close game, 2-1.
It was one of several exciting matches this season at the Veterans Memorial Rink.

START Vote Postponed by Senator Kerry
by Charles Lemos, Tue Aug 03, 2010 at 08:38:08 PM EDT
Senator John Kerry, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee delayed a vote on the new START arms control treaty (pdf) with Russia today after Republican Senators requested more time to review documents and hear comments from the Armed Services Committee.
The treaty was signed by President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in April. Both the US Senate and Russian parliament must approve the treaty before it enters into force. There have been nearly 20 hearings in the Senate Foreign Relations, Armed Services and Intelligence Committees but getting the 67 votes required to ratify the treaty has proved elusive. The Democrats need the 59 members of their caucus plus 8 Republicans to assure passage. To date, only one Republican, Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, is on the record in favor of the new START agreement.
Since the original START treaty expired in December 2009, no treaty and no verification mechanisms are in place to manage the nuclear arsenals of Russia and the United States. This fact alone should spark haste but in today's partisan ad absurdum Senate, most of the GOP would rather play political games than to work on issues of compelling strategic importance.
Under the new START treaty, the United States and Russia will be limited to significantly fewer strategic arms within seven years from the date the treaty enters into force. Each party has the flexibility to determine for itself the structure of its strategic forces within the aggregate limits set by the treaty.
These limits were established on the American side by a rigorous analysis conducted by Department of Defense planners in support of the Obama-mandated 2010 Nuclear Posture Review (pdf).
Aggregate limits:
- 1,550 warheads. Warheads on deployed ICBMs and deployed SLBMs count toward this limit and each deployed heavy bomber equipped for nuclear armaments counts as one warhead toward this limit. This limit is 74% lower than the limit of the 1991 START Treaty and 30% lower than the deployed strategic warhead limit of the 2002 Moscow Treaty.
- A combined limit of 800 deployed and non-deployed ICBM launchers, SLBM launchers, and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments.
- A separate limit of 700 deployed ICBMs, deployed SLBMs, and deployed heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments. This limit is less than half the corresponding strategic nuclear delivery vehicle limit of the START Treaty.
Verification and Transparency: The START treaty has a verification regime that combines the appropriate elements of the 1991 START Treaty negotiated by the first Bush Administration with new elements tailored to the limitations of the treaty. Measures under the new START include on-site inspections and exhibitions, data exchanges and notifications related to strategic offensive arms and facilities covered by the treaty, and provisions to facilitate the use of national technical means for treaty monitoring. To increase confidence and transparency, the treaty also provides for the exchange of telemetry, a technology that allows remote measurement and reporting of information.
Treaty Terms: The treaty's duration will be ten years, unless superseded by a subsequent agreement. The Parties may agree to extend the treaty for a period of no more than five years. The treaty includes a withdrawal clause that is standard in arms control agreements. The 2002 Moscow Treaty terminates upon entry into force of the new START Treaty.
No Constraints on Missile Defense and Conventional Strike: The new START does not contain any constraints on testing, development or deployment of current or planned U.S. missile defense programs or current or planned United States long-range conventional strike capabilities.
The New York Times notes what the delay means:
The delay means that the Senate will not consider the treaty until the fall, during a hotly contested campaign season. The timing distresses the treaty's supporters, who worry that it will get caught up in the partisan crossfire. Unlike other elements of Mr. Obama's legislative priority, he cannot push it through with just one Republican vote; because a treaty requires a two-thirds vote, he needs at least eight Republicans.
Mr. Kerry plans to call a vote in mid-September, but even if that vote occurs on time, it remains uncertain whether it will be considered by the full Senate before the November election. Democrats could bring it to the floor after that, but doing so would entails risks. If Republicans pick up a sizable number of seats, they may argue that a lame-duck Senate should not approve something of such magnitude.

Health care and manufacturing were the key themes for GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum in his keynote speech Friday at the Lake County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner at the American Croatian Lodge in Eastlake.
In front of the 800 people, who paid as much as $250 to hear him speak, Santorum railed against President Barack Obama's health care plan, calling it "public enemy number one against freedom in America."
"You think the Cleveland Clinic would exist if the government ran health care for the last 100 years?" he said.
Santorum told the crowd that, if elected, he would repeal every Obama initiative that cost more than $100 million per year on his first day in office.
Santorum also spoke on the need for a strong manufacturing sector in the United States.
He said he would cut corporate taxes from 35 percent to 17.5 percent for all businesses, save manufacturing. For manufacturing, he would cut the tax to zero.
Santorum explained that manufacturers need the additional support because they compete with countries all over the world, as opposed to other businesses who only compete domestically.
Santorum added that America needed more than lower taxes or a stronger economy.
"If we do all these things -- build the economy, cut back on spending -- but we don't focus on rebuilding the foundation of this country, I'm not so sure we'll be successful," he said.
Santorum said that if people did three things -- work, graduate from high school, get married and not have children before they're married -- then they only have a two percent chance of falling beneath the poverty line during their life time.
Conversely, people who don't do just one of those things have a 74 percent chance of living in poverty, he said.
"We can talk about cutting taxes, we can balance the budget -- but we're kidding ourselves unless we really talk about what makes America work," he said.
"That's how we were able to have government that was limited (in the past.) Because family was strong. Churches were strong. Volunteer and civic organizations were strong."
Santorum did not often mention his primary opponent Mitt Romney Friday evening. However, he did joke about Romney's superior fund raising.
He noted that while Romney raised more money, a higher percentage of Santorum's supporters gave small-dollar donations than Romney -- implying that more middle-class donors supported him.
While , he will not be able to collect delegates in some districts.
that Santorum was ineligible for Republican delegates in three Ohio districts.
However, Santorum failed to file a full complement of delegates in six more districts, according to The Huffington Post. The holes add up to another nine delegates, for a total of 18 out of the 63 up for grabs.

Mfonobong Nsehe, Contributor
I chronicle Africa's success stories and track its richest people
God is good, especially if you're a Nigerian pastor with some business savvy. These days, millions of souls, desperate for financial breakthroughs, miracles and healing, all rush to the church for redemption. And while the bible expressly states that salvation is free, at times it comes with a cost: offerings, tithes, gifts to spiritual leaders, and a directive to buy literature and other products created by men of God.
Pastors are no longer solely interested in getting people to Heaven; they've devised intelligent ways to make good money while reaching out to souls.
Take Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, for example. He is the founder and lead pastor of the Christ Embassy, a thriving congregation with branches in Nigeria, South Africa, London, Canada and the United States. His publishing company, Loveworld Publications, publishes 'Rhapsody of Realities,' a monthly devotional he co-authors with his wife. It sells over 2 million copies every month at $1 apiece. He also owns television stations, newspapers, magazines, a hotel, a fast-food chain, and more.
Many other Nigerian pastors are similarly building multi-million dollar empires from their churches. Today, pastors fly around in private jets, drive fancy cars like Daimlers, Porsches and BMWs, don Rolexes and Patek Phillipes, and own breathtaking mansions all over the world.
After the blog post I wrote in May about Nigerian pastors owning private jets, I was bombarded with emails from readers requesting to know the richest pastors in Nigeria. So I set out to investigate the assets of some of Nigeria's most prominent pastors, and I came up with conservative estimates of their fortunes. I contacted representatives for all of the pastors and all except Matthew Ashimolowo's representative confirmed ownership of the assets I list. Representatives for Pastor Ashimolowo did not respond to my emails.
Bishop David Oyedepo
Affiliation: Living Faith World Outreach Ministry, aka Winners Chapel
Estimated net worth: $150 million
David Oyedepo is Nigeria's wealthiest preacher. Ever since he founded the Living Faith World Outreach Ministry in 1981, it has grown to become one of Africa's largest congregations. The Faith Tabernacle, where he hosts three services every Sunday, is Africa's largest worship center, with a seating capacity of 50,000. Oyedepo owns four private jets and homes in London and the United States. He also owns Dominion Publishing House, a thriving publishing company that publishes all his books (which are often centered on prosperity). He founded and owns Covenant University, one of Nigeria's leading tertiary institutions, and Faith Academy, an elite high school.
Chris Oyakhilome
Church: Believers' Loveworld Ministries, a.k.a Christ Embassy
Estimated net worth: $30 million – $50 million
Last year, the charismatic preacher was at the center of a $35 million money laundering case in which he was accused of siphoning funds from his church to foreign banks. Pastor Chris pleaded no wrongdoing and the case was eventually dismissed. His church, Christ Embassy, boasts more than 40,000 members, several of whom are successful business executives and politicians. Oyakhilome's diversified interests include newspapers, magazines, a local television station, a record label, satellite TV, hotels and extensive real estate. His Loveworld TV Network is the first Christian network to broadcast from Africa to the rest of the world on a 24 hour basis.
Temitope Joshua
Church: Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN)
Any reason the Redeemed's Pastor Adeboye didn't make this list? And I would have thought he was top 3.
Its only God that can forgive u with all this nonsense u are writing. Who are u to judge them and lie on them. If you dont know what is happening pls just shut-up. Oyedepo has never said the school is his own and he has never said the private jet is for him. It is for the ministry and other ppl use it. Every member knows the man does not collect salary as a pastor or money from the books he sells so stop saying rubbish. People love him and give him gifts because he has transformed lives. I can give him all i have today because he taught me almost everything. Its only poor people that complain about things like this and think ppl can not make money without stealing.
its so obvious this guy does not know what he is saying. The first phase of winner church (canaanland) was worth $250 million as at 2003 and was in guinness as the biggest church auditorium in the world (2008) . I dont know where u got all ur nonsense facts from.
Please Mr writer, do not ignorantly attract the wrath of God to yourself. The secret of Bishop Oyedepo riches is in Matthew 6 vs 33. God is fulfilling the covenant of prosperity upon his life and ministry because Bishop Oyedepo is committed to the things of God's kingdom. Please do not be deceived, God has made wealth available to everyone that is seeking His kingdom first. He has maximally invested in people's lives; both young and old, teaching people that care to know the ways of God. why wont God bless him?
Observation – Technically Ashimolowo maybe a Nigerian Pastor but he is UK based.
Question – Are you saying that all those other Pastors own the Church etall in their personal names' and how comes KICC posted profit when in UK churches are supposed to be registered as non-profit organisations???? Enlighten me please, if you have the answers. Nice Piece though.
It is really sad how Nigerians like to justify the extravagant lifestyle of pastors. I am a christian and belive 100% in the course of Christianity, in fact a Christain fanatic. I have seen a similar story on Sahara Reporters and was appalled by people's comments justifying it that they have worked for it. The poor congregation that drop their offerring, didnt they work for it? I also think its due to this opulent lifestyle that even breeds more corruption as our politicians steal money to come and give them which they collect without admonishing. Church is now competition and business. In the past, we knew missionaries to be philantrophic, and missionary schools to provide free education, but today, the schools of these churches are the most expensive, making it difficult for even their poor congregation to afford. Even if they do not want to make the fees moderate for reasons of keeping the school in a quality state, i have never heard of any scholarship programmes given to the poor intelligent students. What is Oyedepo doing with four jets? I can understand one, but 4, i dont. They critisize TB Joshua, but to me he is a practical Christan. In a country where many people live below the poverty line, these pastors drive with their Limo while they see poor beggers on the street. They do not give anything back to the society despite all that is given to them. Church is now serious business. may God help us Christians to live a Godly life in Jesus Name!
lemme ask you….do you attend living faith? i don't think so because if you did you wouldn't say stuff like this! being a winner and a 'covenant university student' lemme straighten out some things here! many students have been sponsored by David Oyedepo since the school began and in the landmark university, many students are on scholarship. offerings which are mandatory are given willingly by the congregation and is used for the congregation! For instance transportation was free throughout last year and this year and building churches in local or rural areas. As for the '4 jets'…u do know that the church has many branches all over the world right? and you should know they are headed by pastors who travel for missionary purposes? that is explanatory enough. all 'private schools' are expensive!! just so you know, CU is one of the cheapest! you know…you shouldn't just assume. God bless you
Ask God to forgive you, you better ask the insiders and see how God is changing the life of people. Many scholarships are giving, prostitutes were changed, the ministry is giving meaning to life of people, jobs opportunity and so on….. Living Faith is of God !!!! The best is yet to come.
It's safe to say by reading your comment at the time you made the comment you had not read the bible from cover to cover. God's people were not poor. Heck, when the Isrealites were brought out of slavery in Egypt they plundered the Egyptians. Read Exodus, I dare ya! Read the entire bible and save that Christian sappy story for your past. Jesus said the Kingdom of God is here. Heck, learn how many times christian was mentioned in the bible or born again. You will get an eye-opener to say the least. Stop relying on pastors, priest, evangelist to teach you the word and start feeding yourself the word. You will meet God on an entire new level.
Ministers of the gospel are not supposed to use the church money to become rich. The tithes of the church are not for the pastor to spend on himself ( to be blunt). it's for the growth of the gospel, to feed the hungry, and help the poor. Let's be honest if every rich pastor helped a community living in poverty in Africa or else where the world will be a better place. Most of these guys live in self indulgence, it's all about me lifestyle. if your wealth was built from your own personal finances or from before you came to the ministry then i persume thats different. When Creftlo Dollar was asked about his church wealth. He said he was into the real estate industry before he became a pastor 'fair do'. Now regarding the charity commission churches in England and Wales, as someone stated above you are not allowed to benefit from it's finances. They are supposed to be non profitable. Any money that is realised from this has to be used within the church by employing members, or helping the community, or it's no more a charity organisation, and henceforth has to be registered as a personal business ltd. Finally if we look at the life of Christ it springs a far cry from the way many of today's ministers live.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with pastors being wealthy, it is their God given right just like any human being on earth. The church is an industry, it is a business. Some of you make Christianity appear so unattractive a religion to belong to, being a Christian does not mean dining yourself the good things in life. As you rightly said, the pastors ride in limos and maybe jets whiles there are poor people on the streets begging and stuff like that. Well, all of us can not get a million dollars does not mean no one should get it. Bill Gates lives in America but there are and will always be poor people there. The pastors work for their money, let them enjoy it. Building schools, hospitals, clinics, operating an airline, publishing books provide jobs to thousands, that is service to humanity and God. If the missionary schools were to provide free education, will you provide them money to pay the teachers?
that guy is not a winner. u cant judge a book by the cover. besides men of God are doing Gods business, and u dont expect God to owe his workers or not pay them well. if u work very well, u get good rewards that simple. pastors with much converts gets good result. talking about the poor, even Christ talked about it in John 12 when mary poured expensive oil on his feet. he commented to Judas wen he lamented, that we have the poor around us always. better start from where u are to help the poor, before u stmble while looking at my papa Oyedepo who has strained for more than 30years answering the call of God. if u are angry u better blame God for blessing him, because the jests are 4 now but in few years, his getting more, cos there is no diminishing return in Gods blessings. besides, there are many jests for u to purchase if u want. please try not to speak ill of a man of God or compare him. do ur work and God will bless u. they are on their path. locate urs. dont forget SHILOH is comoing soon, u better come and get exceeding grace to buy ur own jet…
I had been wondering at the loud silence of the essay on Adeboye before I read your response to 'Dianeawunah'. If "Pastor Adeboye does not exactly own the church … just the General Overseer … desn't own the assets of the church or any other vast estate", who are the trustees? The sincerity of this claim will be bared for the world at the Pastor's passing as all Nigerian "men of God", especially of the Pentecostal stripes, prey on their followers who – looking for solutions to their problems, real, imagined or willed – turned to these people for spiritual help. Of course the pastors are more than willing to oblige – for donations and contributions which the church members cannot often afford. Nigerian Pentecostal churches do not generally contribute to society but many of their leaders choose to court political leaders who, in Nigeria are enemies of their own people. emotan.wordpress.com
When men choose to write things like this about ordained men of God, they have Just signed in for a lorry load of problem. Only a man who knows ABSOLUTELY nothing about what God have said in his word, can come up with such a write up. The wealth of the Church is clearly stated in the Bible.
It is a covenant thing. If anybody is saying now that Pastors are rich or wealthy, that person should wait. This is Just the beginning. Because it happened in Bible days too. The Bible says: "Isaac became so rich that the whole nation of Philistine envied him. Gone are those days when the Church is expected to be very poor. Now, the God of heaven and earth is turning that tide around. It is GOD'S end time agenda to make the Church attractive. It has nothing to do with Nigerian Pastors. Pastor Creflo Dollar, Dr. Mike Murdock, Bishop T.D Jakes, Myles Munroe and the rest. Just to mention a few here, they are rich men of God….ARE THEY NIGERIANS????? People must not put up things on the internet to mislead people. If anybody have a problem with the wealth of the Church as it is today in Nigeria, that person might as well be ready to question God. And you know what it is when men decide to question their maker. Q.E.D!
you are so on point! thank you and God bless!
point of correction the church has never been known to be poor but has had histories in the past to take care of the community. The churches in the US face real huge taxes and clearly identify themselves as businesses as much as ministry. My stance is this for as long as these ministries are committed to community services, ensure that the poorest in the household of God benefit from the quality education and are their kids are cared for then is fine. I know loads of members of the living faith whose kids cant afford any of those universities and they are still true to the faith. Politics,wealth and faith are 3 things that any clergy should handle with care, least he is tempted
Men of God are allowed to be entrepreneurial, and innovative,and take the Word of God to the same level as every other information is heading.
Tithes and offerings are also requested in the bible. Malachi 3 tells us it is our duty to take care of the House of God and give him what is due. Many of the people in these churches are also rich themselves so they may have a big tithe to give, but it is their duty to give.
What makes the most difference however, is what the man of God is doing with all this financial blessings. If they have charities and organizations set up that are helping the people at the bottom of the financial ladder, that is how their real wealth and success should be measured. He could be worth a billion dollars but not spend a cent on himself. But he could be given cars or great gifts from congregation members who are in so much appreciation of what God has done in their lives and express it through blessing the pastor.
All in all, it still holds that most Christian organizations should be social enterprises- organizations run as a for-profit but use the profits to benefit and save lives.
don't mind them jare! what is 150 Million to God and what is 150. What is a car, and what is private Jet. We are advised to be like Christ in our spirit, so i guess we should all walk around wearing Jewish clothing since we are to be like Christ,
I was always suspicious of Nigerian churches i had this mentality that they are all thieves until i repented to Christ on my bed, no one preached to me. And i said i will do personal worship of God. No need to go to a church. Push came to shove i went to church and I discovered that prosperity was far from it.
For three month is have been at Oyedepo's church and all that has been coming is vengeance, and soul winning.
Each ministry has it's line of calling. Oyedepo teaches principles to get what ever u want in Christ.
I was a staunch critic of the church now i shut my mouth and just say God knows when anything happens that i don't know cuz I have seen that u shouldn't judge if ur on the outside looking.
Oyedepo's books saved my life. I was at the point of death suicidal when I picked up his book and read about fulfilling life.
Paul made tents on the side, Oyedepo builds schools, and Universities on the side.
If u don't know don't comment.
Agree with you nessab. Makes logical sense.
Unlike me who normally wouldn't care about such write ups of yours, I had to spare time and ask you a few questions. By way of introduction I am a Christian, born again for the past 12years and am happy.
I've been reading the bible understanding it with the help of God and am still studying it daily to be better.
I give my tithes to the church, less privileged, pastors and those who need it as am led to do at each point in time,as guided by the Word of God in Deuteronomy 26 verses 10-15, so if my Pastor is richer and more comfortable as a result of my obeying God. my blessings will still come, so don't think we are foolish or hypnotised because our gestures or obedience to God enrich our pastors.
Please, what do you aim to achieve by your write-up, I would have been more comfortable if you had researched well and had come up with a similar story for other religious heads, like the Imams, catholic priests, etc in Nigeria, then your work would have looked more unbiased, maybe if you had done so, you would have been in hiding by now.
Have you researched and published names of the most corrupt Nigerians / politicians as well especially how they make their wealth too nitty gritty please I would be happier to read unbiased articles too.
Anyway I believe people have their own opinions for every issue but please make sure God will be happy with you when you do such "goodwork" most of us our happy being blessed by blessing our pastors and obeying God it is God who will judge at the end so play safe with Him, all the best
There are still so many areas to practice writing with not meddling with God's people.
Chike, i couldn't agree with you more. Your comment was on point. These people (critics) don't understand what is going on in the church hence they say all sort of nonsense. We that are giving keep getting richer and prospering all the time.
May God open their eyes to see what they are missing.
If Christ were preaching in Nigeria, would he travel by private jet? I don't think so…
thank you. all dis is done in d name of God. their are people who ve not even got food to eat.
Jesus rode on a donkey, not just any donkey. He rode on a donkey that had never been ridden before. Lets be careful the way we talk about men of God…
i cant understand you. Were there boats or ships? Did Christ ever own anything in life? Did he ever spend money or demand for anything. Since he is Christ, he should just float his body in the air from Nigeria to England or Iraq to preach. Then i don't think that Christ preached to humans in this world, he must have been preaching in the spirit realm. How would you have run your own business trekking round your country as big as it is(no matter how much profit you don't need)? Is it possible that the lack of profit itself can ruin your flesh?
God should be the only one to judge people so let's be careful the way we say things or we will carry a curse that we can,t get rid of.
Jesus Christ is a God and he humbled himself by coming to earth to redeem us. he chose to lead a humble life that's why he came in a more humbling era. would he have travelled by private jet…maybe. back then all they had were donkeys n horses n boats…if he wanted, he would have been as rich as julius caeser with just one word. you should really take care not to get God angry though
Jesus said himself that we will do greater things than Him. I guess preaching the gospel all over the world travelling in your private jet is one of the great things He was talking about
I think so…Christ rode an ass, that's all that was available then, so if he came in this generation, he'd travel with what's found in this generation–a private jet. Times have changed, so has modes of transportation also.
yes He would ……..
Jesus travelled in a convoy of boats, too. They cast lots for his underwear because it seamlessly woven. When people encountered him, they called him, Lord, Master, Rabbi. I don't know where people get this imagination that Jesus was some kind of wretch. I just don't get it.
Good attempt but clearly not fair enough. This writeup inherently suggested that: 1. These Pastors got rich on the back of their churches 2. That Pastors should not go into businesses no matter how legitimate 3. Pastors must not be rich 4. Rich people in the church should not assist their pastors to lead the good life.
For this article to be fair, Mfonobong must identify Pastors who singlehandedly control their church accounts–of course, I know one of those pastors he mentioned that is the sole signatory to his church account!
Secondly, there is nowhere in the Bible that says Pastors must not go into legitimate business. The Bible doesn't oppose acquisition of wealth so long it is neither ill-gotten nor used to oppress the poor. The love of money is what must be avoided. What is most important with wealth is the source and how it is spent. It is right to criticize the lack of charity work in the midst of the fast ocean of material poverty in the land; however, poor pastors attract poor congregation, illiterate pastors usually attract illiterate polity, rich and well educated pastors attract their peers. Like begets like; that is human experience. It used to be that Born-Againism was peopled by the grassroots.
Lastly, it is difficult to be a pastor over a rich congregation and it doesn't rob over you because people like to help their pastors. To say pastors should be poor because of the poor in the church is inverted logic. The issue is what they are doing to help the poor because being poor isn't God's design or a virtue. We should however, criticize lavish lifestyles of pastors but also remember at same time that it is less condemnable if their wealth is privately and legitimately acquired and if they are helping the poor as well.
Lastly, the issue therefore, is not their wealth but: 1. The source of it 2. Their lack of compassion for the poor 3. Their romance with politician and looters of our economy in order to gain fame and wealth at the expense of the gospel of Christ 4. Their total concentration on prosperity while neglecting weightier matters of the word of God like holiness, love, compassion, the kingdom of God, etc.
Mfonobong,you just made me a fan. I was reading your piece on Nigerian Millionaire Pastors on BBC Online. An embeded link to the "rich list" which you has also written, led me to many of your other articles or blogs on Forbes. I have shared your blog with a few friends and I am sure they will it with many more. Reading your profile, I must say that I was surprised that the US was conspicuously missing on the list of places you been around the world. Why?
Another question somebody already asked on your Nigerian Millionaire Pastors was why was Adeboye of the Redeem Church missing on your list of Nigerian Millionaire Pastors?
Yesterday I received a text message from my elder sister warning me to delect what I wrote on FB about the pastors who use the name of God to enrich themselves and I am happy you are bold enough to publish the above article. I suggest you listen to Pon D Lord on www.reverbnation.com/dvahyu the men of God are getting richer while the masses getting poorer God has asked me to speak his mind and I wont stop whether they ban my songs on air like they have done in the past.
It is amazing when i read peoples blogs like yours, if i was one of the pastor's and wanted to sue you it would be a slam dunk case, first of all i would like to know how to came to the conclusion of how much they are worth and where you got your information from, Pastor Adefarasin said he owns billions on how earth did you miss that, and if you said Pastor Adeboye can not be include because he is the general overseer and not the owner of the church that is a load of bull story, So because the other Pastors own the ministry they own everything under the ministry but since Pastor Adeboye did not start the ministry, that now belongs to the church, men pray they dont sue you because i for one will be going to the church council meeting for that action to be taken. This is what is called misleading information
let us all hold on 2 our believes, as we re getting 2 d end of days. it's only by d help of d holy spirit dat we can know d different b/t a real pastor & a fake pastor.God help us.
Don't 4get we re all here 4 a purpose,& d purpose is 2 PRAISE THE LORD.
is it wrong for pastors to be rich? are they not men just like everyone else? you see there is something i want to draw your attention to, how much money with regards to offerings and tithes can the poor people in their various churches contribute to make up 5% of the churches/their personal assets? you do the mathematics and don't forget that these churches have daily, weekly, monthly and yearly expenses to meet. talk about their church auditoriums, their schools etc. Oyedepo's covenant university in Nigeria is an example. most church funds come from well to do members of the church. they have the money and they are giving it out for something they believe in. i think they are smart enough to know if their money is being used well or not. Most of these pastors as you've stated above have substantial resources of their own. so what should prevent them from having the things they own. Members of their churches are also fully aware of the things they possess;like the jets you're talking about.
Have you found out what these pastors or their churches are doing to improve the lives of people both in their church and outside? Please do.
You see, Bill Gates with all his philanthropic deeds has not been able to eradicate poverty in the United States. Do you know why? if you have a bible read John Chapter 12 verses 5 to 8.
God is not against people being rich. What God is against is people loving money more than Him. It is the love of money; that is the root of all evil; 1 Timothy Chapter 6 verse 10 and not money in itself.
Money is not evil neither is plenty of it.
If that's the case then pastors can have both. If they are misappropriating funds, fare enough they must be held accountable.
but if there is no clear proof of them doing anything outside the consent of the contributors, then i think they should be let alone. God bless!
dont mind them,jesus said man = can receive nothing except its giving him from above wich mean spiritual ream,either u receive from jesus or u receive from satan,its not church that give money to pastor, its jesus or satan antichrist churches of course humman blood, its hard to see rich real man of like david oyedepo, pastor chris is anti chris church ,ayo is antichris ,tb joshua is an anti christ, for u to konw all this thing ,u need holygost reveal them to u, its said test the spirit wether them are fromGOD, JESUS LOVE THE WORLD BY HIS BLOOD, ITS SAID RU FOR UR LIFE, BECUASE HELL IS BIG. even satan is preaching hell everyday, in the music industry ,film industry, i will or so buy this pravit jet buy the grace of god, i saw the live epople are living in american , small boy of 18 years old has is own priva jet,with is wickednes, wicked people surpos to be in prison, why men of god enjoy because they are like politie and recruis hwo save from danger, peace in by
While I am not against Pastors prospering financially I think we have to very careful the way we talk about and deal with material issues in the church. The first question we need to ask is, what is the vision of the church or more appropriately why did Christ set up the church? Followed closely by that is the question, is the Nigerian church fulfilling the original purpose why Christ set up the church?
I don't understand why we get so hung up on money when the state of the church is deteriorating by the day.
Back in the days when we spoke about church in Nigeria we talk with reference to the character of the Christians and their adherence to holy principles. While some of it was extreme at least we knew what they stood for. Nowadays it's almost not about character or obedience anymore but rather the focus has shifted to success, success and more success. Please don't get me wrong I am not against success and I am a Christian myself who wants to succeed but I think we need to bring a balance into this thing. When we are celebrating the fact that a Pastor is a billionaire what message are we sending to congregants – that the aim of Christians is to get rich. I really hope not. Again let me emphasize, there is nothing wrong with being rich even if you are a Pastor but that should not be the focus and personally having been a born again believer for over 15 years I find that Churches actually contribute very little to their communities beyond crusades, conferences and building massive churches.
If we are so rich let's become change makers where we use our wealth lift people out of poverty, provide affordable social services such as housing, education and health and then it will be clear to the world why we need all the riches we sometimes flaunt.
i think its important that we are careful about wat we say about those we call pastors, nobody is in a position to criticise them, and i beleive its only those who re ignorant of their stories dat wud criticise their glories, wre were u wen they wre paying the price of little beginning. pls be careful of ur utterances
I have been reading through the comments posted by all of my christian brothers, the christian world has truly change from the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.. the preachers we have now are solely thinking of their pockets and nothing else they don't think about how to truly win the lost soul to truly make heaven… salvation is free but they extort money from innocent people all in the name of deliverance they have deviated from the purpose of the Gospel… well God is so just and merciful..the church is now more than a business center that is why you can see a junior pastor breaking away from his main pastor because he has seen the way money is being shared
All this pastors keep accumulating wealth without helping the members of congregation, Jesus Christ the Lord has compassion on his congregation that is why he fed 5,000 men with fish and bread.
If you as a church member that is active in the church activity and have a problem, and you go to the church office for help no one is ready to see you…it is everyone for himself. Only God knows who is His true servant that is committed to his service…when all the so called men of God is all about acquiring private jets and driving posh cars and living in exotic magnificent houses, God help us all in Jesus name.
Dear mfon ..great list i love your write ups but the adeboye issue has me thinking … wouldn't it be great if you did research to show the worth of the biggest nigerian churches …and their assets
Bros! there is nothing like "biggest Nigerian churches". You should become a billionaire so that you can help your neighbor. Poverty makes a man feel that you who is his neighbor took all the money at the pump, then left him with the dregs in the tank. This life itself is about time and chance with your plans to take charge.
seriously whoever wrote this has obviously signed a dead warrant! You shouldn't mock God's prophet. people give to the church because they want to and the money IS used for the church! as a christian,giving offerings and tithes are mandatory so you have no right to judge. As for what you said about David Oyedepo writing about prosperity… that's just a BIG FAT LIE!!! he writes about faith, wisdom, how to fight the devil, healing..name it. i actually feel sorry for you though. i think you should ask God for forgiveness because nothing ever goes well for those who mock prophets of God!
let the men god prosper……..aint they serving a woder woeking God??
My papa is simply favoured by God
Mfonobong, just wondering if you considered the following about Winner's Chapel:
1. The 50,000 seater church auditorium has four services every Sunday. One particular Sunday, 164,000 communion elements were served
2. Winner's Chapel has 4,000 branches worldwide
3. Covenant University in only one of the universities owned. Now you also have:
-Landmark University with approx 2000 students already: http://landmarkuniversity.edu.ng/
-Kings University Abuja (Ground Breaking Ceremony was conducted last month)
4. There are over 45 Faith Academy High Schools all over nigeria, not just one
5. Kingdom Heritage Model schools (Primary Schools) was not mentioned in your article. There are over 90 of these all over nigeria
Also, the ministry now has two jets as opposed to four. Two were put up for sale last year.
Finally, see the YouTube video below:
people shud see the truth and say it and stop bein economikal wif it…why shud a church or a pastor need 4 private jets worthin over 4 billion naira each in a country where over70% of her population lives below one dollar daily? why shud a pastor drive in a convoy of 1o (asorted jeeps) na politician? i av seen dis wif my own eyes….. why shud any sincere pastor build and live in a mansion wif over 30 room? little wonder they cant boldly come up and preach against laying up treasure on earth!!!! every day people get displaced in the north as a result of bokoharam bombs, how many of them av donated money or relief materials to those affected????… if people dont want to say the truth, dey shud simply keep quiet bekoz i knw that d God i serve and the christianty that was given to us by christ is the one that shares and cares for the needy and not the one that shows affluence!!!!!!
Go and donate your own and God will bless you.
I agree Solely w/you…
Father God above, have Mercy on your Leaders that you have set to AWARE de People that you are Mighty & your grace is Sufficient! Amen!
This is not a MONEY MAKING Entity!…
I believe in the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit… Not Vanity!
Lastly, for those that are Justifying that it is Right or Wrong, Just know, it isd not your will and they Will be done, by Our lord & Saviour Jesus Christ! Amen!
It is nice to read these blogs, however, be Very Diligent & Mindful and Prayful… The Lord Our god is not Sleeping.
Is it not funny, who are they deceiving? Man or God? If Nigeria is estimated to be 1.7 Million including unbelievers, just a Man of God (MOG) is worth 150 Million US Dollars and yet Christians are in that church who are begging for just 20,000.00 Naria to start up a petty business for survival and yet the can't get. Let God judge.
Being an entertainment boxing promoter can be a successful career with a moderately high income if dome correctly in order to establish yourself as. Seeking investor to help build sport facility. bankroll a boxing event the reality is that in the beginning need help the cost of everything involved in a fight, like ticket sales, licensing, the ring referee and more are on you, so you need to convince others to invest by showing them that there is a high chance that they will make a profit.Third world fighter an untapped market, often i check my email and there are correspondences from boxers from asia and africa who whould like to come to the united states and train. Recruiting and managing fighter, domestic or foreign, take time and patience.It is a long term process and like any activity enough good fighters for your investment group to make money over the long haul.
Benita by name: The Bible said who are you to judge another man servant. Are these Pastors your servants or GOD's. You've not told us how many millions of $ you have stolen and in your possession, and how many souls you have destroyed through your evil informations. Are you an enemy of progress or prophet of doom. How many enterprise have you created to save the jobless, or many poor people have you consoled in the society or how many motherless baby's home or prisoners have visited or many sick people have you paid their hospital bills, how many homeless have you given a home, how many have you delivered from the spirit tormenting them. Please stop all these your nonsense and be a contributor to Nigeria and the world at large. Why are you participating in messing up this wonderful country Nigeria. Justify all you have published with documents attach. Thank you
i wonder where you got your information from for the records the saudie guy we coloured people. dangote we call him black and african the saudie guy is as asian as asian can get. as for the church how on earth are you going to call matthew asimolowo and chris okotie when you have men like enoch adeboye, fr emmanuel edeh, fr ejike mbaka, kumuyi and adefarasin
I have nothing against a clergy leaving modest and understanding that those dues and funds paid to the church is not because of how special he is but because there is the name of the Supereme "The Lord Almighty" attached to the outfit. Pastor Adeboye claiming tht RCCG does not belong to him is not been honest. he should show us the articles or association and memo of understanding lets see. In any business, the man that has the highest share quotes has a huge say and may likely earn a lot if the business is to be liquidated. If lots of Clergy's pay public first class flights to travel and still meet up appointments for teaching, why cant he. Instead of using the funds of those poor ones to maintain a private jet. I pray our God to come back very soon, there is a lot of things he has to judge and loads of questions for him. May God help us humans, mostly we africans and Nigerian.
Maybe he would cleanse the temple courts of its money changers.
Its amazing how hypocritical you all are, no one seems to bat an eyelid when reminded that the vatican/papal org is one of the richest organisation in the world,but a nigerian pastor,what does he need the money for.
Its just some foolish pple given their money ,right?
Its okay for Obama to be flying airforce one, (he works for people right,with whose money?), but a Man of God ministering to millions of people around the world is supposed to be poor and fly economy class.
Anyway its not a new thing,Jesus faced stiffer things, did you hear that in the old testament,people brought all they could to the temple,and do you know that preists were supposed to be paid from these
Most of you that criticise these people dont even believe in God in the first place, and will not batt an eyelid when non-christians do these smae thing, you will just make videos out of it(fabulous life of filthy rich billionaires)
You praise Dangote, but you refuse to acknowledge that he is a rip off,using Govt front to corner markets.
what do you know?
Face something else, all the people whose lives have changed from giving are not complaining so you people should say something else
I couldn't have said it better.
though this post is no longer news to you, but can i ask a question? what parameter did you use for your selection?
Church has always been a great scam.
Dear Brothers and Sisters: for God so loved the world the he gave his only begotten son that whosever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting. God gave us His best and his best sacrificed his life so that others might live.
No greater gift can a man give than this. We as Christian are called Christians as we are Christ-like and should do the same for others saved or sinner. Did Jesus who not because of lack of ability/opportunity chose not to have businesses, houses, a wife, children, cattle and etc really leave ALL his GLORY, POWER, POSITION, in HEAVEN and come to earth just so that a man might be RICH? I don't think so! It was so we could all be reconciled to our God and be with Him in heaven.
Hence Matthew 10 21: Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me
Finally Matthew 10 24: And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Was it not God that made the heaven and earth? wealth and riches? so ask yourself why then did He then say the above?
Grave and Love to you all
Dear brothers and sisters,
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus our savior.I am pastor Haron and my beloved wife Vivan from Kenya East Africa. I am a pastor of a young congregation.We are a church ministry that is dedicated to reach the people with the truth.We do street evangelism and house to house evangelism.
In our ministry work we find many poor orphans whom there parents died of HIV/AIDS and other children affected right from post Election violence that occurred in Kenya which led to many deaths thus leading to more orphans
God touched our hearts and we are able to house 18 poor orphans as we found from the book of James 1:27 that this is a blameless religion.There is many who need our help but our resources are very few.
We are kindly requesting you to partner with us and do kingdom work in Kenya and the rest of the world.
I also invite you to come and share with us the word of God and see the work that God has called us to do.May the Lord bless you as I look forward to hear from you.
Haron and Vivian
let the pastors be and workout ua goodies please
Watch this, Genesis 26:12-17 (New International Version) 12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. 13 The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. 14 He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him. 15 So all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, "Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us." 17 So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there. Now here is a commentary from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary Genesis 26:12-17 God blessed Isaac. Be it observed, for the encouragement of poor tenants who occupy other people's lands, and are honest and industrious, that God blessed him with a great increase. The Philistines envied Isaac. It is an instance of the vanity of the world; for the more men have of it, the more they are envied, and exposed to censure and injury. Also of the corruption of nature; for that is an ill principle indeed, which makes men grieve at the good of others. They made Isaac go out of their country. That wisdom which is from above, will teach us to give up our right, and to draw back from contentions. If we are wrongfully driven from one place, the Lord will make room for us in another. Being rich for a christian is normal, don't let the devil cheat you that there is anything wrong with those five pastors living wealthy, get saved, accept Christ and get to enjoy the unsearchable riches that are in Him alone. Deuteronomy 8:18 (New International Version)18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. Shalom.

please comments and prayer.

Brethren it is wounderful to be rich and wealthy it help the spread of the gosple but it is more important to God and Heaven that souls be added to heaven citizens, look around and see soul each minutes rush into hell i think it is time we and ask God for help on better way to reach them.
Please hear me again i am not against ministers being rich but they should be careful to know that they will render account of their stewardship, riches and things around it will not be taken to heaven.
There is good to be reach, and being a disciple of Jesus christ. You the fund to the benefit of human race or face challenge from the holly ghost. I do not support hunting down pastors, they would account to god for their excesses.
Jesus is aware more than anybody else, who serves faithfully. Pastors collected huge sums of money and prayed fervently for the donors protection against detection of his fraudulent practices. Jesus witnesses. All shall answer to their faithlessness. The work of christ the lord shall continue to flourish, making disciple of people is the requirement a believer.

All crooks why should a pastor be worth 30-50 million, imbeciles, they are just as bad as the politicians, feeding of the poor. People shine your eyes!!!!!
May God continue to enrich His own Servants, empower them to the maximum and restore back all what the devil had stolen from the children of God. Big up my brothers in Nigeria. Professor Solomon Mwenda back home in Africa.
In as much as I dont condone fraud and corruption, I think the writer needed to have done more work to find out what the money these pastors got has been spent on. Life is about wealth redistribution and eternal life is a part of wealth. Money is another and Acts 2: 44 – 47 tells us a good church model where people shared their possessions. You share what you have and you have what you have acquired. Are the estimated worth mentioned in these pastor's bank account? or are they in form of systems they set up to provide jobs, healthcare, water, food, clothing, transport and eternal life? I think these are the analysis we need to make in order to paint the better picture of what's happening. The 'means' and the 'end' must be good, right, legal and Godly. So have we found out if the way they got the money was good, right, legal and Godly? I just thought there should be more work to be done on the publication so people dont get wrong thoughts about the pastors and the body of Christ in general. Thanks.
The Earth ids the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell there…. if the Earth is the Lord's and the fullness of it, so which means by Father owns everything (all resources of the world, since my father owns everything, then i own everything too… so nothing is wrong with the wealth of our men of God, the bible says the blessing of the Lord maketh rich without adding sorrow to it…. no one has power to make wealth except the Lord blesses him, in Deuteronomy 8v18….. but thou shall remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thy power to make wealth so that ye might establish His kingdom……. oh glory, so brethren stop criticizing th work of god and don't judge anything before the time….
I read Mfonobong's write up now on the richest Nigerian pastors. First, I have issues with the source of his information. He never mentioned that he spoke with any of the founders of these churches nor did he speak with any of the members of board of trustees. Beyond that, I spent time perusing the various comments canvassed by majority of the emergency self-styled critics of these ministers. I've discovered that the greatest delusion is self-delusion. Three questions instantly beg for answers: Have these men committed a crime against God or against the state or against humanity by being rich? The point is this none of these emergency critics has done 0.0001% of what these men have done for humanity. Do you know how many millions of people would have failed in life, or get killed by some strange sickness, or commit suicide for lack of care, or spend their lives in jails, or get knocked down and totally knocked out by life? I think we should celebrate these men who are constantly in the front line of battle with the kingdom of darkness instead of pulling them down. I've also discovered that small people spend all their lives trying to pull others down. How many of these critics have made impact in their societies? Oh, it's okay for members of Illuminatti to flaunt their wealth. Tell me, the wealthy business man without the patronage of the people would he have ever been rich? These men have paid the price to be where they are today. I see Esau's hand in this scheme to pull down God's servants. Lucifer himself is behind these criticisms. Most of you say what you don't know. If only you knew how much these great men have given to society in so many ways…then you would have begged God for mercy to help you meet one of them for your deliverance. Finally, if you think being a mega pastor is easy, try getting five people to listen to you at least once every week.
mañana montare mi iglesia y con la bendicion de Dios en un año ya sere rico
pero que se vayan a trabajar estos pastores!
it "s unfortunate that the devil even succeed poison the mind of the believers,that they even say some wrong about the pastors,most of them waste their time judging pastors,it would have be better if after conderm all the pastors and you we cry to God and rise to do it better than them, i thing it we be very good of you,and JESUS we be glorify,if God we show you the price they pay for were they are, and show you how many lifes and souls,they have save and preserve by prayers and preaching the gospel,u we never be concern about their wealth,because every single life they have save is not equivalent to what they have,if they have to be rewarded by every single soul they save,i believ God is yet to bless them,please let pray for our pastors and ask God to give them the wisdom to do perfect work, but if you are not satisfer, you can called God to called you to do it better,this was the case of nehemiah,with passion and concern about God,he rise and rebuild the broken wall of jerusalam,
Let me introduces myself I'm an activist for human right and animal right activist so my point of view may be wrong.
Fela kuti said things about Nigeria pastors and the religion purpose. even though fela kuti has his own some personal errors but I think he made very good points more than his personal life errors.
First of all im not good at writing an articles to be honest, you may see few grammatical errors . I didn't study English or value it as much as I value my own language, but I respect English for dominating the whole world with their self intrest. manage my articles and Please feel free to edit the articles.
Why so many people fall under the Nigeria pastors spell? Is because they refuse to know the truth and search for it. They decided to stick with the bible. Some choosen to leave their professional careers in their life and focus much on bible and church work. That is why we took religion so serious in and Africa nation in general than anything. we dominate 90% of Pentecostal in the world.
Nigeria Chruch is now everywhere. Is not that Nigeria is a holy nation but because we took it as a business.
The major reason why Africa is not productive in technology or agriculture etc in the world. is because we are so religious and we are not concern much in science and research. Few of African that hink and study widely their voice is block.Africa have brain and man power but we remain backward and confuse . We appreciate the china for their assistance anyway.
mostly Africa don't want to question their pastor or ask anything that is not clear to them. They believe asking pastor or challenging pastor is a sin. Many of them will tell you leave them to God.

Poor people will always be envious of the rich and prefer to die poor criticizing them rather than learn lessons from them. Did these men become rich overnight? The poor don't know anything about money, yet they always talk about it!
Were you there when some of them started their assignments in obscurity? Now you write, insulting the intelligence of people who have lived, worked and fellowshiped with these men for decades. Do you think you can just come from the blues and try to win cheap popularity the results of your junk research?
Listen, in every endeavor there are rich people and there are poor people, so get a life. And I'm very sure God doesn't give a hoot how much anyone has or doesn't have. It's irrelevant and is not a yardstick for commendation or condemnation.
pls tell our pastors use their wealth for needy,after all dats wat our lord came to earth for, toms up to TB JOSHUA. LET the world fight you, GOD will fight 4 you.
pls tell our dad's dat it not d richest, but d heart they use in doing d work, toms up to my admirer TB JOSHUA .
Most of here keep complaining that with these pastors wealth, they dont khelp the poor.. lets take note that we have no right to judge them, most of them release money to help the poor but the people under them are the ones to be questioned…
if i may ask, are pastors meant to be poor ? Do we know what most of them went through before they succeded ? Many are called but few are chosen, so let brittle our tongue abt hoe we judge these ministers, before it will become a sin upon us.
Fairytales arent real anyway.
i think your evaluation is correct and accurate.Gospel is real business and only men of faith can assess the riches of the gospel of Jesus, bcos GOD himself own everything and He has given them assess to His wealth according to their FAITH.
Hi i am from Ethiopia. And i am a student of campus please would you help me? by sending a little money? This is my no you can reach me 0921789225
What you posted is not different from lies being peddle on the internet as truth, while there is no doubt that these pastors are wealthy by all standard, your comment try to connect the source(s) of their wealth to some of the church owned establishment like schools and publishing outfits thereby creating the impression of exploitation of the congregation.
While I may not be able to speak for all the pastors mentioned, I will however talk on Bishop Oyedepo. I am commenting on him because you mentioned Faith Academy as Elite school, I can however categorically tell you that this school is one of the cheapest if not the cheapest private school in the country. Before you start disputing it, I have 2 of my children in that school. I have not seen any other private secondary school where you pay as low as 90 – 100k Naira per term for full boarding school that includes text books, uniform, feeding, stationeries. I noticed some of the comments creating the impression of exploitation of the congregation, the truth is, nobody is forced to be in the church or buy any book or attend a school. If the people feel they are being exploited they dont need anybody to advice them. I will want you to do a research on the poorest pastors in Nigeria and see if their congregation are better off than the congregation of the richest pastors.

I don't particularly know your motivation for writing this piece, I suppose you appalled by the wealth of these men of God, supposing that they need not be that wealthy. I agree with you to an extent.
It is clear that seeking wealth and riches, corrupt people. 1 Timothy 6:10; For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Some people have said, it is not money that is the root of evil but the love of it. However it is not possible to have money if you don't love it. If you don't covet money, it is not likely to come to you. However one thing to note is that most of the men of God you mentioned didn't go into ministry seeking for wealth, they went seeking to do the work of God.
For instance how could Bishop David Oyedepo who started Living Faith Ministry in 1981 have known that he will be worth $150million today? It would have been a foolish step to take at that time, since it was the order of the day at that time in Nigeria to beocme a politician or a Miltary man to make it. That would have been a more sensible step for him to take to get rich (go into polics or join the military)
Pastor Chris Oyahkilome left University and unlike most of his colleagues who started looking for work immediately after University to secure their future, he went to continue the ministry he had started on campus today he does have 40,000 congreagation but over 500,000.
Pasor Ashimolowo went to London to serve as a Pastor for a ministry while others were seeking to greener pasture, he was seeking a greener pasture for God's flock.
Today they are wealthy as you claim, not because they coveted wealth but because God promised in Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
You can castigate them, however much you like, but you can as well castigate God for promising to give the people who he seek first his kingdom what the people of the world are seeking.
Think about this deeply

It is clear that seeking wealth and riches, corrupt people. 1 Timothy 6:10; For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Some people have said, it is not money that is the root of evil but the love of it. However it is not possible to have money if you don't love it. If you don't covet money, it is not likely to come to you. However one thing to note is that most of the men of God you mentioned didn't go into ministry seeking for wealth, they went seeking to do the work of God.
For instance how could Bishop David Oyedepo who started Living Faith Ministry in 1981 have known that he will be worth $150million today? It would have been a foolish step to take at that time, since it was the order of the day at that time in Nigeria to become a politician or a military man to make it. That would have been a more sensible step for him to take to get rich (go into politics or join the military)
Pastor Chris Oyahkilome left University and unlike most of his colleagues who started looking for work immediately after University to secure their future, he went to continue the ministry he had started on campus today he doesn't have 40,000 congregations but over 500,000.
Pastor Ashimolowo went to London to serve as a Pastor for a ministry while others were seeking to greener pasture, he was seeking a greener pasture for God's flock.
Today they are wealthy as you claim, not because they coveted wealth but because God promised in Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
You can castigate them, however much you like, but you can as well castigate God for promising to give the people who he seek first his kingdom what the people of the world are seeking.
Think about this deeply
i am Mr Alexander from us, i really happy that i and my wife are cured of HIV with the herbal medicine of Dr Julius kelvin , i have been suffering from this disease for the past 3 years without solution until i came across the email of this doctors who have cure so many people with his herbal medicine, i also chose to give him a chance to help me and my wife, he told me what to do and i kindly did it, and he gave us his herbal medicine and direct me on how to use, i also follows his direction for use and he ask us to go for a check up after 2 months and which i did, to my greatest surprise our result came out as negative, we are really happy that there is someone like this DR who is ready to help anytime any day.to all the readers and viewers that is doubting this testimony stop doubting it and contact this Dr and see if he will not actually help you. i am not a stupid man that i will come out to the public and start saying what someone have not done for me. he is really a great man contact him now. firstname.lastname@example.com m he is waiting for you.+2348078924088
Mfonobong,you are really an aweson guy,I admire your hard work and courage. Nevertheless,you are acurate in most areas if not all areas,but you should have been more detailed in area of TB Joshua by saying that, the pastor does not even own a car of his own and attract thousands of visitors to Nigeria each year which help to boast Nigeria tourist sector of which he got an award of honour by former president Umaru Y'radua.I think it will be just fair to him,compare to the insults he gets from people like Chris Okotie and the rest of them who ride and fly in ……,you know the rest of the words.
And moreso,in addition,TB Joshua has given more than he even earned. I am not against any man of God being rich it is up to him and his God to sort it out.But what I am against is these men of God who want everyone to accept them and their riches ganging against another man of God ,feeding their members with lies about other men of God.
Message for the richest pastors today. Where is the cross that Jesus asked us to carry? Have you been through tribulation and persecution like all Jesus Christ 's disciples. While you making million of dollar people died for food and malnutrition everywhere in the world What is the main reason that God asked us to give dime and offrande. How much money you give to the poor. If you are preaching the gospel. How you got time to manage your million. Can you say like Paul:
2 Corinthians 8v9: For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 9v8: And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Jesus himself said, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." in Luke 6v38
I'm living a prosperous life because I have Christ in me and gratefully, humbly and enthusiastically receive all He did for me on the cross – health, prosperity, peace, joy…!
Keep watching the space for the Christians (not only pastors mind you) – the rich are increasing in number, not by power or might but by the Spirit of God!
If you have enough faith to receive all manner of blessings including financial blessings from God well, go for it! If you don't have enough faith but you want to live in prosperity, believe in the Word of God, that's the way to go. If you are fine where you are and don't want to believe, its okay, just don't hinder those who want to. :)
this are men of God,what about the five poorest prominent pastors in negeria?

Download it now to read this article plus other related content.
Has the storage consolidation parade rolled through your town yet? Storage vendors are in the front of the line, mustering a crowd with promises of a fast ROI, reduced TCO, simplified management and streamlined backup and recovery. Their pitch is downright seductive: Consolidate your direct-attached storage (DAS) into a giant, single logical pool of storage and then allocate and reallocate this capacity as needed with just a click of a mouse. It's a compelling pitch. And the promises are true, except for one thing--none of it is easy, fast or cheap.
"It is getting easier, but there are still obstacles," says Scott Robinson, CTO, Datalink Corp., Chanhassen, MN, a storage consulting firm. And the hard-dollar savings don't come right away. To the contrary, it will likely cost much more at the outset: "You'll be buying a lot of new hardware and you have the whole cost of buying a network," he says. Still, the payoff from consolidation can be big if you carefully and patiently work through the obstacles.
For example, most consolidation involves Fibre Channel (FC) storage area networks (SANs), which still present significant technical hurdles for most corporate IT departments. "We have a lot of technical skill here, but the change to Fibre Channel was difficult, much more difficult than, say, trying to make SCSI work on a PC in the early days of SCSI," says Kelly Carpenter, senior technical manager, Genome Sequencing Center, Washington University School of Medicine,
The Center's IT group called Datalink for help when it tried to consolidate 15TB of varied storage onto a large Hitachi storage system. "Fibre Channel is very finicky. You have to have the right versions of the drivers matched with the right firmware. You need somebody who really knows what works with what," Carpenter says.
No quick payback
Carpenter's experience seems easy compared to what others have encountered. In interviews with storage managers in the midst of consolidation efforts--managers who have requested they and their organizations not be identified--the widespread consensus is that storage consolidation is harder, costs more and takes longer than expected. "If you think you are going to consolidate and get a fast payback, you are living in a dream world," says a storage manager at a large bank. To begin with, that giant logical pool of storage is extremely difficult to set up correctly. "It is very hard to get the zoning and the LUNs right," he says.
|Tape consolidation
Consolidating tape backup when you consolidate storage increases your payback. Storage consolidation streamlines the tape backup process in the following ways:
In his experience, you can consolidate to a point. "You can go to about 40 servers and their attached storage," he says. More than that and the multiple operating systems, different release levels, varied firmware and devices from multiple vendors will turn into an implementation and management nightmare. "Just mapping which application on which server goes to which individual LUN can drive you crazy," the bank's storage manager says.
The bigger problem, adds a storage manager at a leading insurance company, "is that consolidation is really about changing the way we do business in IT." Previously, the standard IT approach to solving a problem was to throw more hardware and infrastructure at it. "With consolidation, we are now scaling back this infrastructure and that means scaling back the operational processes that run the infrastructure if you hope to get any of the benefits from consolidation," he says.
Business unit buy-in is key
Not only will people in IT resist, but the business units will scream about these kinds of operational changes. "The business units want to control their own destiny," the manager from the insurance company says. To them, it means having their own applications running on their servers and storage. Even guaranteeing dedicated LUNs within a consolidated storage infrastructure won't satisfy them unless you can deliver the whole benefits package immediately--better performance and availability and lower costs. And if business units with different service level requirements have to share key portions of the storage infrastructure, you not only face an extreme technical balancing act, but a diplomatic challenge as well.
Despite the difficulties, the researchers and analysts remain bullish about the opportunities in storage consolidation. "Our research confirms that storage consolidation provides real operational benefits and delivers real savings," says John McArthur, VP of storage research, IDC, in a report for Hitachi Data Systems (HDS).
For instance, "The cost of managing information is sharply reduced when storage is consolidated and centrally managed. Labor costs are the biggest factor. As a rule of thumb, half of the staff can manage twice the data in a state-of-the-art data center," McArthur says. In addition, the need to maintain fewer facilities coupled with tighter control over storage assets produce more savings. Even more gains follow through integration. "Once consolidated, the integration among storage systems can be improved," he says.
Enterprise Storage Group's senior analyst, Nancy Marrone, cites similar benefits from storage consolidation. However, she's quick to point out issues that must be addressed before organizations can effectively consolidate their storage. These issues involve sizing, resource management and the degree of heterogeneity in the storage to be consolidated.
"You have to appropriately size your consolidation," says Marrone. A large amount of the direct-attached storage, for example, goes unused. Just counting existing storage won't give you a correct figure.
Similarly, you need to do some serious storage resource management before you consolidate by reviewing what you are actually storing. "You need to look at the files and ask how much of that data you really want to consolidate," Marrone says. Some of that data probably should be shipped off to archival storage. Other data most likely should be thrown away.
Finally, she warns IT managers about consolidating storage from different operating systems. "You have to be careful about how you zone off Windows or it will grab every available LUN," she says.
There's also the question of what to do with the existing storage arrays. When you are consolidating on a SAN, some arrays could be retrofitted for FC. This may be appealing in tight economic times when the folks in accounting pressure IT to squeeze every bit of depreciable life out of each storage asset. "In theory, you can attach the existing devices to the SAN, but usually companies want to upgrade the disk at the same time," says Datalink's Robinson. Often the older devices carry higher maintenance and support costs compared to newer devices, so hanging onto them is no bargain.
To ease the strain on its budget when it consolidated storage, the Los Angeles Unified School District used a lease-to-purchase strategy, says Greg Rapozo, deputy director of data processing for the school district. The project entailed consolidating DAS on a SAN using IBM's Enterprise Storage Server 2105 with Brocade switches connecting to the school district's Parallel Sysplex and Unix systems. The resulting system more than quadrupled the total disk capacity to 3.5TB, increased disk operation performance by 60% and reduced backup time by more than 80% without stressing the budget.

SALISBURY, N.C. -- The FBI interviewed the parents of missing teen Erica Parsons Monday morning, apparently to go over a new tip, according to the family attorney.
The questioning lasted about an hour.
Casey and Sandy Parsons did not answer questions after leaving the attorney's office. Neither did the FBI.
The family's attorney says in general, when the FBI gets new tips about Erica, they meet with the Parsonses to verify it, and see what, if anything, the Parsonses know about it.
Overall, investigators say they're gotten a number of tips since they started looking for Erica about a month ago, after her older brother reported her missing, two years after she was last seen at home.
The hope is digital billboards will bring in even more.
Adams Outdoor Advertising is putting up about 15 of them along interstates in the greater Charlotte area.
Attorney Carlyle Sherrill says Casey and Sandy routinely talk to the FBI, and it shows how the family is working with law enforcement to help find Erica.
Casey and Sandy say Erica willingly left home to live with her grandmother in the mountains, and they want to find her, too.
Investigators say that story isn't true, and in search warrants allege Casey and Sandy Parsons verbally and physically abused Erica before she disappeared.
The Parsons deny any harm and wrongdoing. Nobody has been arrested or charged with Erica's disappearance.
The lawyer says investigators have not asked the Parsonses to take a lie detector test, which is something Sandy did on a national talk show last week.
Even if he did, the results aren't admissible in court.
Monday evening, the couple could be seen at their home on Miller Chapel Road, loading personal belonging into several vehicles, leading some neighbors to wonder if they were planning to move. After Sandy Parsons finished loading the back of a truck he relaxed on the porch but refused to answer any questions from NBC Charlotte.
If you have any information that could help investigators, call the Rowan County Sheriff's Office at (704) 216-8687.

RALEIGH — More than a thousand abortion opponents gathered Saturday in downtown Raleigh for a day of events, including a Catholic Mass, a prayer breakfast, a rally and a march.
Faith Schofield, 36, and her sister, Joy Rimbert, 34, both of Southern Pines, were among the marchers bundled up in the 37-degree weather. The sisters have been attending anti-abortion events since their parents took them as children to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.
Jan. 22 marks 41 years since the U.S. Supreme Court issued the Roe v. Wade decision granting women the right to privacy that protects abortions.
"I feel like it's a visual testimony of what I believe," Schofield said.
Her sister added: "I feel it's important to come out – even when it's uncomfortable, even when it's cold – to show that it is more than just words."
The women are active in a movement that, although it has been going on for four decades, is gaining some ground in North Carolina, which has become a battleground state on the issue.
Last year and in 2011, the Republican-controlled state legislature passed sweeping changes to the state's abortion laws. Some of those laws were cited last week by abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America and its state counterpart, which gave North Carolina an "F" grade in its annual report detailing the status of women's reproductive rights in the United States.
At the afternoon rally, N.C. Right to Life President Barbara Holt cited the recent legislative success: "Since we met last year, our legislature passed an omnibus pro-life bill that is just amazing in what it does."
The 2013 law requires the state to develop new, potentially stricter regulations of abortion clinics, which opponents say would put some clinics out of business. It also denies insurance coverage for abortions for city and county employees or for those participating in the state health insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act.
It also would prohibit abortion based on the sex of the fetus. It would allow some additional categories of medical personnel to refuse to participate in abortion procedures as a matter of conscience.
At the afternoon rally, House Speaker Pro Tem Paul "Skip" Stam, a Republican from Apex, urged the crowd to make sure their voices are heard as the state Department of Health and Human Services develops proposed regulations for the clinics.
Noting that abortion-rights advocates are already involved in the process, Stam said, "When the proposal comes out, we need you to let the department know that you want something stronger and better."
Despite those legislative successes, abortion opponents suffered a judicial setback Friday. A federal judge in Greensboro struck down a provision of the 2011 state law that required doctors to show women ultrasound images and describe them in detail between four and 72 hours before performing abortions.
Civil rights advocates praised the ruling, since they claimed the law violated doctors' right to free speech. Supporters decried the ruling, saying pregnant women should receive as much information as possible from their doctors. The law said women didn't have to listen or watch.
The ultrasound provision of the law has never gone into effect, as the same federal judge temporarily blocked it the year it was enacted.
However, anti-abortion advocates have some hope that the ruling will be overturned. Holt told the crowd Saturday: "We believe this (law) will be upheld at the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals," referring to the federal appeals court that would review the judge's ruling.
At Saturday's prayer breakfast, state House Speaker Thom Tillis, a candidate against U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, said he wasn't surprised by the ruling, since the same judge had blocked it in 2011.
"We're disappointed with the decision," Tillis said. "I could see the potential for the ruling going to the U.S. Supreme Court."
NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina on Wednesday will deliver a petition with more than 1,500 signatures urging the Department of Health and Human Services to make women's health its first priority as it develops the abortion-clinic regulations.
"In 2013, extreme lawmakers railroaded through a series of new laws that are part of a nationwide, well-funded anti-woman agenda sweeping the nation," Suzanne Buckley, executive director of the group, wrote in an email last week. "These laws are ill-conceived and out of touch with the majority of North Carolinians who believe lawmakers have no place in a woman's personal, private reproductive decisions."
Buckley said in the statement: "In 2014, NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina is as committed as ever to holding the opponents of a woman's right to choose accountable, and working hard to elect lawmakers who share our pro-choice values and belief that every woman should have not just the right, but the opportunity to make whatever choice is right for her."

rowing. It uses the legs but not heavily. I guess if you really wanted you could put some negitive weight on pullups and try that.
this works your legs a little but jump ropping. Also not a good a idea if your calves are sore.
You could alwasy just drop your carbs and do some high rep exercises on the end of you mas training program
