Look at what Christianity has turned into. Look at what you are doing in God’s name. It’s a shame. God almighty is watching you…. $5000.00 as offering so that you become a millionaire? And how much do we pay to go heaven? What a sin thing!!!!

Those critics should keep their critical comments to themselves. Giving few thousands of dollars to God is nothing compared to what he did for us..
I am a member of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC).
I tithe. I also contribute money through offerings and special donations towards the development of the church and its activities.
I don’t do so because I have access money. I do that because I believe in a Supreme God who knows me, hears me, and meet me at the point of my greatest need.
I don’t take the good health, peace, great family,friends, safety in all avenues and even the air I breathe for granted. I don’t have these because I’m of a privileged class.
It is by the grace of God.
I believe in God the Father Almighty. Maker of heaven and earth. And I obey His commandments.
I am an #UnashamedChristian
I am sure no one is against supporting the church but the very day church leaders put a price tag and its associted prayers or blessing on those ‘offerings’, then it defeats the purpose and principles of giving.
We are talking about 5,000usd (over 20,000ghc) how many of the originally church goer seeking to better his or her life through prayers can afford this?
Did you say given those few dollars to God? Are our church leaders GOD?
Can you give that same 5000ghc to a young business man who is doing genuine business to help employ his/her colleague young people?
What is those church using those Monroe’s for? How are those monies being taken transform the lives of the originally church goer? Africa must wake up
