    MMM: RCCG warns pastors, members against participating in Ponzi scheme

    The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has warned its Pastors and members against investing in the several Ponzi schemes that now abounds in the country.

    TheNewsGuru.com recalls that a popular Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Movement (MMM) recently crashed while investors’ hopes of a good life was dashed during the last yuletide season.

    A memo issued by the General Secretary of the church, Pastor Johnson Odesola, to all Pastors in charge of regions and provinces, threatened disciplinary actions against defaulting members.

    According to the memo, the doctrine of the church does not support get rich quick schemes.

    The memo reads partly: “Please be informed that the doctrine of the church does not support get rich quick schemes, gambling, betting, etc in any form.

    “God is and remains our supplier by the application of biblical principles of working diligently with our hands.

    “All senior pastors are hereby authorised to ensure no one uses the pulpit or any platform of the RCCG to promote any such schemes.”

    Recall that TheNewsGuru.com had earlier reported another clergy, Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Fire Ministries, OFM, fired one of his Pastors, Joseph Aiyedun, for using the ministry’s name to participate in MMM.

    “A Nation without Savings is a Nation Without a Soul; A Nation of 10,000 Companies and 10,000,000 Churches and Mosque is a Nation of Glorified Scammers and Enduring Poverty. We the people gave up and Caved in to the Political Elite whose only interest is their Selfishly Greedy Personal and Egoistic desires. The Nation was Relegated and our Today is the Result of our Failure as a People Yesterday.”

     

    “Nothing is going to change in a Country where Legislators are Afraid to Enforce Made in Naija; Nothing is Going to Change in a Country where Manchester United is Celebrated Ahead of Enyimba; Nothing is Going to Change with a People who Frown at Hardworking with Every Opportunity and Nothing will Ever Change When Voting for Criminals Becomes a Culture and a Way of Life.

     

    “Bombs are Dropping, people are dying, Prices keep Rising, frustration hits the ceiling. As politicians and pastors keep dealing, Our graves we keep digging. Our docility killing our humanity, as youths engage in frivolity, It is disgusting how they keep secumbbing Unbecoming as they keep sagging and dulling. Holding themselves captive by their complicity. #ourmumudondo”
