Clap for yourself. This 3bn could have been used to do something more meaningful. People are hungry in our country. Build homes for those that have been displaced. i dont have much but i use the little i have to help out widows back home in our country. Stop acquiring assets in the name of God. Linda berra post my comment.
When will the church donate 3 billion naira for the building of roads, schools, hospitals, clean water supply, orphanages, and other things that significantly improve people's lives?i
As much as I accept the fact that everyone can aspire to build mega churches, I cannot help but wonder how many homes or low income estates N3 billion would have built. Or how many mission schools would have been erected with the money.
As my pastor said this morning, the world is disenfranchised with us Christians because we spend more money IN the church than outside, so they really do not see our impact. We are catering to our needs and not that of our neighbors.
All the same congrats to them, but food for thoughts sha o.
Hehehe Jesus Is Lord! i have found a new church o!(just kidding o)
wooooooooooowww finally! Am so happy for him! It Has taken like forever! 8yrs? Thank God.
It is only in nigeria that pastors are billionaires
Hmmmmm......no comment!
OMG !!! I am so excited. praise God. I was a partner and pledged to this building when I was in Nigeria.
May the word and reform ,just part of some of the things it's meant to do be achieved IJN
Finally....... Bet 3billion??? Odikwa serious.
Congrats to this man, it is not easy.
Congrats Pastor Paul.
when was it completed? I still saw the place today. it doesn't look completed to me
This world should come and end , lets see how many people make it to heaven. All these pastors keep chasing material and luxurious things . .... God will judge us all
I don't get it.....crucify me but I really don't get it...I don't get d point behind lavish church buildings and all that. Too much drama. I feel it takes d focus away......oh well...each to his own!
Yipeeeee!!!!!!! /=D/
Why can't they use that money (3BILLION) to build affordable house?, its not like Christians are lacking a place to worship God..
How is this news??? your purpose is so people will start wagging their mouth about spending 3 billion on a church, madam controversy....na you sabi I know u wont post my comment I dare you to!....you have sha read the comment and that's my purpose cos its directed at you!!!...
I hope and pray every single worshipper makes it to heaven whn the trumpet sounds.
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.And he is not served by human hands,as if he needed anything"
More offerings! How many services on sunday?
Congratulations sir. We hope to use it for the experience this year.
CONGRATS TO HOTR....
AMAZING HOW CHURCH BUSINESS PAY OFF...
Linda, the first service in the church will be held in November...
i'm so excited, God bless Pastor Paul and all others that donated towards this project you shall know no lack..
These so called "Men Of God" r all Business men......giv d man som years nw He will start his own University charging astronomous fees...business all d way
Don't be ignorant. Even God takes pride in a beautifully built temple. Go and read your bible then u will see how royally God asked his priests to build his temple. These pastors make their churches so beautiful to glorify God and not for their own pleasure.
Mechie onu gi!!! Shut up and work hard to earn ur own money. Then you cld spend your moni d f*****g way you like!!! Bad belle...
I don't think any amount is too much to spend to build a befitting house for worship for God...Pls let the man be biko
FYI, House On The Rock spends several millions EVERY SINGLE YEARS on projects that posotively affect the lives of millions of people. From donations for the building of schools, to offering scholarships, to boreholes for clean water supply, to provisions for orphanages, to rehabilitation of the so-called street urchins, to donations of medical supplies, to donations to prisons, just to name A FEW. The church simply chooses not to create a huge buzz around these things. But they are all documented if any of y'all would care to check
Criticism is healthy as long as it is constructive but dont criticize merely for the sake of criticizing.
@Anon 3:01pm- I applaude you for using your little to take care of widows but its a tad narrow minded to simply dismiss this as merely "acquisition of assets in the name of God"
What an idiot! What a waste of church funds.
Not sure how to even comment on this!
Ohhh Shush your stinker!!! At least he used it for something more meaningful and important than 'private' jets and universities!!
People will go to that church and get feed with the word of God. That man hosts the Experience every year,wanna find how much that costs?? D'you know how many souls are saved by what he does?? Oya tell me mr/miss goody 2 shoes, how many people have you feed today??? how many poor hungry begger have you smiled at???? You think its only about money??? or you think you dont have what it takes to make somebody happy abi???
Please, and please, if you want to throw blames around, direct it to the right people and stop spewing gabbage from your mouth like a thrash can!!
.....And what makes u think they are not doing that?.....you as an individual, what have you done in your own little way to affect the lives of people around you. Mtcheeewww *Keep waiting till u become the President of Nigeria*
*Stevie WONDER* keep Wondering.
Spare me all these "People are hungry" bullshit.
By the way, it is not Pastor Paul that completed the building. It is actually the Church (House on the Rock).
LINDA!!The Noise everybody is making about TONTO DIKE will only make her more relevant.I love the fact that she has been imperturbable.it is imperative to note that these criticism will make her stronger. Y'all gotta put a halt to these Hullabaloo. That's all I've got to say.
DESMOND EFIZZLE
Try preaching in 3 different services in one day and see how that affects u physically. For ur info Pastor Paul is one MOG dat doesnt push his members to donate ,otherwise this church would have been completed long ago.
Go to some public schools around and ask who is responsible for their computer labs.
Before u start condemning him, check out the temples in the bible.
I worship in HORK d kaduna city church n I must commend pst.Paul for a job welldone,in dis year d kd church made bole hole water available to 5 different communities in kd,an d next project is to build an atmosphere fit for d worship of our king,cos ryt nw we worship in a rented hall,which is too much money compared to wen u hav ur own place.I personally dn't see anythin wrong in bringin out gud money to build a church more over most of us like in mansions built wit trillions on naira
The only temple God expects us to build for His Glory since the death of Chirst is our Body, we can construct a moderate House of worship... It profits us nothing to build a 5 star house of worship & neglect our body & sould
So pepl shld woship in a tash house cos God lives in ar heart? Am sur ur a moslem.
whooa....
Bunch of hypocrites!!!!
Why should the church use its money to build houses? What is your government looking at? I think its high time Nigerians stopped this philanthropic form of CSR and face those that are responsible for your road and housing facilities.
And don't forget that the funds for the building were contributed by the members for a purpose- which is to build a church.
Abeg face ur corrupt govt and leave the churches alone! Face those that are stealing ur 'hard earned money'!!!
My problem with the churches in Nigeria is that they dont seem to be adding values to the lives of the average Nigerian. They dont have to feed every impoverished Nigerian on the street but the pastors and congragation can lend their voice against the corruption in Government, advise the people on the power of their vote and participation in the electoral process. The best brains and financial muscle can be found in some of this churches why cant the same be said for the people in power/politics. Nigeria will not move forward if all everyone does is to donate tithes and offerings into the church coffers. More can be done by pooling righteous resources together behind credible candidates and people oriented projects. Of what is use a 3billion naira church in a city where majority of the citizens live in abject poverty, roads are bad, no electricity etc.
Anon 4.06pm shut ur mouth, i am so sure ur a member of dat church..christian my ass.
wait oh its like its just me that is seeing that the 3billion building can contain only 10,000 people...hmmn
Business empire!
Is it about d structure or ow much d church costs dis daiz? It shuld be abt d inside,deir hearts,how well dey worship GOD(in spirit n in truth) may GOD help us.
Business empire!
Business empire!
Business empire!
So happy for HOTR!!!
Thank God for the completion its bEen a long time coming.
Congratulations!
To all the sowers I pray God multiplies ur seed sown, Amen.
Abegii,it is too much joor..
Don't think any amount is too small to beautify God's house. The bible clearly emphasizes building temples to glorify God. Pastor Paul at least didn't use your tithe and offerings to buy jets.......lips sealed...
Asides, for a fact, I know house on the rock keeps donating computers to public schools, try to free condemned prisoners( left untried in prisons for so long ) and start up businesses for them like donating okada etc....
......at least if I was a member, I'd like to tithe knowing where my money is going into and not thinking twice bout tithing.......(sad face)
Don't forget d church has on record one of the largest gospel musical concerts in Africa ( perhaps n the world)..... Abeg na for your house u want make d congregation assemble? Or in a facility ( church building) that won't take into account d possibilities go boko haram strikes in Lagos, medical facilities for emergencies during such functions, good toilets , security etc....
Doze things don't come cheap
Una dey amaze me with the way u tink in diz country......Abeg free d guy and let me see you do the African skank........
That great,finally...congrat to Pastor Paul and hotr family. God is blessing us according to his riches in glory. Haters haba 8years is a long time na abeg be happy for us.
So is there adequate parking for the 10000 expected worshippers?? #planning committee
AsssinNnn God help us
Pastor you did well but remenber the poor people aronud you...oooh
Hmmmm. God is watching us all in this Naija with 3D glasses o.
I don't care if 30billion naira i used to build a church. As long as it is build for God and for HIS purpose to call many people to God.I think that is the best way to invest for God.please stop critcizing this Man of God, because he will not come to anybody's house to tell how many homes he has touched financially.Ride on Pastor.
It worries me when people open their mouths to say terrible things about men of God. Who made you the judge? Because it's not been announced doesn't mean he hasn't done philanthropic works. And when did it become the churches responsibility to build roads? Truly ignorance is a disease. Your small minds will always tell you to hate progress so I don't blame those of you blabbing rubbish. It took 8 years to build that place of worship and it's not even completely finished. Some of your fathers and relatives have embezzled N3 billion naira and squandered it in months. So e kup utebe inua mbufo ke itie ado! Mscheww!
Church PLC. He gets loads of donations from the yanks, NGOs, FMs etc. Smooth like silk cut but very deceptive.
Excel. This pastor Paul try to bulid temple for God. Because a lot pastors in nigeria go use that money buy private jet build there own house and buy cars while the members in church are hungry.Am not a menber in his church but I guess he try well well. God bless you more pastor Paul
Anon 7.41pm- Shut your gutter mouth up! What has being a Muslim got to do with the post or any comment here?
It is folks like you that open your stinkers to drop tribal & religious hate comments. Ewu Aluu!
Kai, and I no be contractor. I for don hammer...... Issokay
This is totally wacky way to think to worship God!!! U can worship God 4rm anywhere u are. Sometimes I wonder if we Christians are really following the actual way to God or just to satisfy our own selfish interest? Only God will judge on the last day.TURN THE STONE I AM THERE,I AM NOT IN HOUSES MADE OF THE MOST EXPERNSIVE DESIGNS.
Y'all better help urselves. Yeye, google is ur friend oh. U obviously need some education on d matter u jst raised. Only in Nigeria my foot. Do ur research Abeg.
Praying for reward from God for u is like stating the obvious. U ar blessed alredi. Thanx for giving to d lord.
Good one. Pls don't stop praying for urself too.
How does that ruffle ur feathers? Start a church nah, and hold as much services as u want.
Church business did u say???? Be careful of the words that u utter oh. Its God business.
Well said. God bless u.
Haaaaaa u dare to call d annointed of God an idiot??? I'm guessing you ar a pagan so u dnt even knw d insinuation of wagging ur tongue anyhow against men of God. I pray ur judgement will be light for mercy's sake oh.
Best response so far. Some people's narrowmindedness still wldnt make dem understand dis though.
Thot it was gonna be an intelligent view. Buh all in all sir or ma, no sense made atall. Do u think God told us to obey biblical injunctions and start delving into how dey ar being utilized? Ours is to obey wtout looking back cos he is a faithful rewarder. It den becomes d business of d priest to do as God as ordered wt d sacrifice. The people of God knew dt Samuel's children stole d sacrifices dey offered, yet it didn't deter dem from making more sacrifices. A natural mind cannot reason out the things of God so quit trying ok? Enuff said.
And I'm so sure u aint even a Christian. Hence ur shallowness. U dnt have to antagonize sum1's honest opinion. Jst make d intelligent one u've got and leave. Remmember a fool is assumed to be wise until he/she speaks.
I tire oooh.
Truthfully, dis is all turning out as it shd. I bet if some of y'all were alive in d days of David and Solomon, u will also lynch them wt castigative words, cos these guys were extremely rich and dey spent lavishly on d temple of our God (according to God's own specifications). So it doesn't come as a surprise if all some ppl can see is wastage. And for those of u crying and whining abt the poor and d needy that he shd av helped, I will like to remind u tht the biblical approach to giving is "not to allow even your right hand to know what ur left hand is giving". That is where the reward lies. It is strictly between u and ur maker, so think deep before u say anything. There is wisdom in being discretional, I pray the lord will give u all understanding.
Mr. Nice guy will u hit your head on the nearest wall. He used his money that he didn't steal to build a house for God and you are talking nonsense. Did u not hear that Ifeanyi Uba (Capital Oil) stole 42 billion naira and u didn't think of widows and poor people. Why is it that we are always talk about men of God and what they do with their money and forget our politicians that steal us blind in this country. Paul is not a politician so work hard and make your own money. Don't ever annoy me on this blog or I won't post your comments again. LOL
Nigerians think serving their pastor is a way into heaven, or a way to get Gods favor, wake up your pastor is only a preacher, the difference between you and him is he took the time to memorize bible verses, hes not God or close to it...
if a Politician build a 3billion naira office na wahala o, cos hes a postor makes it alright... in 30million naira church building your prayer get to god the same time as the 3billion naira church, so why waste money feed the poor do some charity.
Visit other blogs and see wat they post. Wats d big deal? Now she has posted your comment, go drop a pin in the ocean and see what happens. Igonoramus!!! Oponu

U call a MOG idiot? Well done,Keep bringing curses upon yourself.
Lmao @ Stevie WONDER
It is better than buying three abi four private jets...
pple shd just shut up and use there money to build roads and hospital, enuf of all dese gossips abt churches developing, these churches have there own contribution to the community, allow the church to grow, its really no one's bizness on how it is built,a church construction doesnt have to be poor!!!!!!!!!
I listen to this pastor and he is good. Not much publicity, controversy and b4 building this church am positive he has contributed much to our society. @least we are seeing what he used his church money for unlike #sealedlips
FYI , D GUY DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A HOUSE OF HIS OWN, HE STILL PAYS RENT. BAD BELLE PEOPLE BETTER GO N JOIN D LINE OF UPWARDLY MOBILE PEOPLE.
It is nt church's responsibility to do dt..dt is y we elect leaders...if u dnt knw wat to say....shut up
Beats me what our pastors do with the money they make from church..
My problem with this is saying outin the open how much it cost to build the house. What purpose will it serve if not to boast?.
That's my problem with it. and who say a private jet and expensive University is not in the works. Na one by one nah abi. lol
Linda I can see you are doing a fantastic job here,someone just called my attn to this.
I was actually on tour of that site last Sunday and when I say the Medical facilities and Classrooms within that premises,I couldn't help but stare at a leader Nigeria never had in Govt.
And to think this man doesn't own a House or Built one yet in the same city he is building this for God....@uchennaji_ouch
I am not surprised at the level of educated illiterates dat we av in dis country.
Like d saying goes "to keep an information from a black man (9ja especially) write it in a book"
People dnt ask or look for information, dey just assume and conclude saying all kinda trash.
A man of God built a N3billion multi purpose auditorium in 8 years, is dat not enuf for u to fink of selfless services and determination with hope dat went into d structure.
How much does ur leaders steal in one month and u all still vote dem
Some said worshiping leaders, d truth is pple should understand btw respect, honor and worship.
The Rock Cathederal will educate pple like u for free so dnt be left out, take advantage of it.
Mediocres
Its just funny how history repeats itself...cos in d bible when d lady broke d alabaster box @ Jesus's feet...dis are d same negative comments that came up..some said d oil should ve been sold to give to d poor...just like some of u are saying ..and Jesus has an answer for you all..go n read it!
Kiss your pastors ass all u want, u r not garantee a seat in heaven, follow follow people, that's why your pastor and your politicians treat u like children.
Last time I checked, that's what politicians are for
Omgness. God is good. Finally. Pastor Paul adefarasin through the grace of God has completed the rock cathederal.it took him 8yrs, people 8 good yrs. To put up this wonderful worship center. Stop judging.just let God be praised. Jobless pple.mscheeeew."pastor God bless u".
a building takes 8 years to build and ppl cant think straight before commenting...FYI, its not just a church hall but includes different building facilities that would create lots of jobs for many.
some people should just stop writing on blogs , it just wasnt made for you. Go and find ur own money nah and do ur own thing,,,instead of insulting others. Hiaaan!!!
I am happy for him and the church as a whole, worshipping in Muson center for the last 18 yrs or more could not have been very good for their image both spiritually and socially. Muson center is used for all sorts of activities and whether you like it or not, all sorts of spirits are gathered at these various events. At least having their own building will control the flow of spiritual activities (both wanted and unwanted). Kudos!!!
Lindaa you need help for all this hilarious postings
Why is it that when men of God do something so outstanding and dumbfounding that people can not see it as an act of God. Please leave Pastor Paul alone. god has blessed the man. Celebrate with him rather than condemn what God has done. Haters!!!
If the saints above who are criticising have the time, pls read the words of the Lord Jesus himself & they would have the answers, read Mark 14: 1-9 , especially verse 4, verse 7, & verse 9 . Enough said.
People will always complain, Poor people will always be there, & some people will forever be honored in their life & after for honoring the Lord
all those criticising a church that decided to give God the best do not intend to go to heaven,because they will abuse God almighty for the lavish way He created Heaven, where all the streets are made of gold and the mansions with the most expensive precious stones one can ever imagine. Most of these critics have been able to buy land and have built their own houses, they didn't remember the poor, but a man of God who is almost 50 years of age yet have not even build his own house, but decided to Give God the best. Some of this critics are driving brand new cars, they didn't think about buying Tokunbo and giving the rest to the poor. Some of these guys need to urgently repent in order to make heaven, cos if God grant them access to the beauty of heaven, they will turn around and abuse God of not being moderate and not providing for the poor. Before you open your mouths to sin again, ask lagos state commisioner of Education what House on the Rock have done to schools in Lagos. House on the rock yearly conduct the experience bringing in the best gospel artists in the world and yet never charge a gate fee or ever taken an offering. House on the rock has change the lives of hundred of area boys in this lagos, every sunday they feed hundreds of those who can not even afford to eat and paid for their accommodation. Many have benefited from their. empowerment program, where by the less priviledge are. given money to start their own trade. House on the rock has facilitated the released from prison of over a thousand prison inmates who were wrongly incacerated and some awaiting trial for as long as 10 yrs the records are there. There don't have to make noice about it. House on the rock have provided pipe bone water for several communities in lagos, and their branches are doing the same in other states of the federation. So please stop insulting men of God, go get your facts right. This facility is built for God has God complained to you? If some of you were in the days of Solomon, only God knows what you guys would have done to Solomon for spending over 100 times of house on the rock Budget to built God a temple
God bless you pastor Paul,am proud to have you as my pastor.anybody who has a problem with the church building,go hug the nearest transformer.
