My goodness! This is disturbing. Churches charging worshipers gate fees to attend service. What is our world turning into? Is this even Biblical?
Christ Embassy charged worshipers a gate fee of N1000 to attend the church's 2015 crossover service which took place on the 31st of Dec. 2014 at their headquarters in Oregun Lagos with their founder, Chris Oyakhilome presiding over the service.
See more after the jump!!!
So those who could not afford the fee where turned back.....I guess, salvation isn't free after all! Apparently, it's not the first time this has happened in the same Church. The same thing reportedly happened on Dec. 31st, 2010. The Church has explained that it was their own way of controlling the crowd and discouraging thousands who only come to Church once a year on Dec. 31st and prevent their "regular real worshipers" from securing seats at the Church on such an important night....Really?
I think it's all about "kudi (money)" Let's do the math! The Church has a seating capacity of over 20 thousand, with a N1000 each, that a cool N20-million and this those not include regular offerings and special offerings.
What do you think of this trend? Let's hear from you please!
