pls is pastorship now a family business that must be passed down from father to sons or daughter?
ReplyDeleteYes, we sometimes work hard for our family. We can't expect another person to take over their family wealth. Mind you church affair is semi business too. That said, congratulations to him. May God lead him. I love his character in "The Wait" movie.
DeleteIt mustn’t
DeleteBut They appointed hi
Or do you want the job
He has always been a Pastor though. Just pray for grace upon him to succeed in the new position.
DeleteSadly it's looking like it.
DeleteBut he is a pastor now,though youth pastor. It just means now,he would not have time for acting again. It's now time to fully grow up.
DeleteYes @ Nigeria first daughter! I trust ,that is God that wants his attention! So he can cut all those rubbish dreadlocks and remove yeye earrings from his ears! He is a covenanted child and a chosen one! He now has to face God! I will use myself as an example as a chosen one! Once is time! You must step in! For me, no more weaves and attachments! Is natural hair, all the way!
DeleteAnon 20:15, you well so? You have not seen pastor in weaves and attachments who are being mightily used by God? Na wa wa for you oo
DeleteThey are made pastors to secure the family investment. Even Bakares, Kumuyis and Oyedepos sons are also ordained to take over the one family business. The Abioyes under these guys stayed on too long and will have to contend with being bossed around by the boys that called them uncle.
DeleteAnon 20:15 please explain. I got a message to stop using attachments. But what hairstyle will I do that doesn't involve attachments
DeleteThis guy is giving me strong gay vibes, why should the leadership be passed to him? Don't corrupt the body of Christ please! Even family business should have decorum!
Delete@ 22:11, you twist or carry afro and use a band. There are natural hair saloons, where your hair will be treated and styled by a natural hair stylist.
Delete20.15, abeg how he go take scrape the tattoos frm him body?
DeleteFamily business.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm it's well
DeleteHmmm.it's well
DeleteSMH
ReplyDeleteHhahahhaahh, take it or leave it Church na family business now, all those people worshipping "God of men" & daddy G.O. na una know. These days na just to serve God & give when you can . No let anybody pressure you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't see how he can be the senior pastor of the church and still continue his acting career,which by the way is splendid! I love his acting and he is a very good actor. I hope it's not feeling that he has to do the right thing by his parents at the expense of his passion. His sister is more into the church thing but I guess a woman can't be a senior pastor or what? Well,I wish him well and hope this brings him satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteFamily business only in Africa Nigeria to be precise 🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteThat's not true, Google the TBN Crouch family. It's not only in Africa or Nigeria. It's world wide. Joel Osteen became senior pastor of Lakewood Church when his father, John Osteen died. The list goes on.
DeleteAproko queen, with this your back your head comment, you call yourself a Christian?
DeleteYes its family business! knack your head for wall if e pain you
ReplyDeleteSo, will he retire from acting?
ReplyDeleteNawa.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....
ReplyDeleteJimmy is now a Pastor?
This means he won’t be able to act in Nollywood movies again, right?
He has always been a pastor, well before acting
DeleteWhy not? Pastors should actually be encouraged to have other sources of income so they can pastor their congregation without focusing on where their next meal will come from and focusing on only prosperity gospel. The only challenge will be his schedule and the workload of being on set and having church related obligations to fulfill at the same time. Instead of acting, he could become a producer and start funding movie projects.
DeleteHmmm...existing pastors can run the church whislt he's the board chairman nau. Anyway.......
ReplyDeleteIs church now a family business? Has this young man ever been engaged in the daily affairs of the church? Does he even have a ministerial calling? Where are the men and women who helped his father run the church while he was alive? Non of them is good enough?
ReplyDeleteIt is not surprising anyways. Billy Graham handed the church over to his son. Other ministries seem to have done the same. Margaret Idahosa took over after her husband. The Oyedepo boys have been positioned in waiting. As much as efforts have been made, Enenches only son doesn't appear too keen on taking after his father. But his mom is patiently strategizing.
The question remains. Is the church of God? If it is, doesn't He have a say in picking a successor? Well, whatever has to be said, know God for yourself and by yourself.
PJ has always been a pastor people!
DeleteI understand the Oyedepos because I mean they are really boiling for God. The first son does foot evangelism. He literally goes to village to preach and share food so I wouldn’t bat an eye if he takes over from his dad.
DeleteWhat spiritual training does he have? This decision is appalling. Many members will look for a new church 🙄
ReplyDeleteGood looking out to him
ReplyDeleteKai. With this appearance I don't even know what to say. I'm not judging, but there's a saying about book cover and the content of the book. If you know it, tell me please 🙏 🙂

Delete"Don't judge a book by its cover"
DeleteDon't judge a book by its cover
DeleteYou will be surprised
If you are a Bible student, you should have come across the word Nazarene or Nazarite. These are men dedicated to God by birth. And one prerequisite for them was that no razor should touch their hair., e.g Samson. This is the origin of dreadlocks. So before in your holier than thou, judgmental mode, condenm Jimmy, try to get yourself aquainted with the Bible, the guide book for all true Christians
Deleteanon 23:38 the tats were prerequisite too? tomorrow if he comes out you will still say prerequisite make Una sha dey play
DeleteYou said that you are not judging but judged mightly. God looks at the heart. Ndi hoiler than the pope.
DeleteWith tattoos to abi. Lol
DeleteMay the Lord strengthen him and nigerians should stop judging him by his look.
ReplyDeleteI hope he was asked if he has passion for pastorship abi na by force inheritance.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jimmy.
ReplyDeleteHe may not even be called to be a pastor, he is more of an actor, may this not lead to resentment biko...
ReplyDeleteGod forgive me but no no no he should be called by God not by church let him be biko
ReplyDeletePlease you guys should not judge Him. We had propehrs in the bible with locs and they obeyed God whole heartedly. Dreadlocks is natural hair.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Dreadlocks is natural hair O. Both men and women can rock it. #teamlocks
DeleteGod bless you jo
Deleteand his tats as well? just dey play
DeleteCongratulations Jimmy.
ReplyDeleteIt’s easy for some of you to call it family business or SYH. If na you nko?
When you wear the shoes, you will know.
Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with his appearance? Some of you ehn 🤮🤮
ReplyDeleteHe can reject it if he doesn't want to be a preacher simple!
Congratulations Jimmy! We all knew that God would arrest you one day and He has. This is what your later mother prayed for. Hallelujah! You are born for this Jimmy!! We are solidly behind you man of God!!
ReplyDeleteI love his movies. He's a good actor
ReplyDeleteA wonderful actor
DeleteAppatently God called the family. Lol. Maybe na conference call God take reach them, Africa, a continent of clowns.
ReplyDeleteOkay
ReplyDeleteWhy are we like this in this nation, always quick to condemned our, while we celebrate others. Kenneth Hagins ministry is on third generation now, Billy Graham handed over to his son, same with Jimmy swaggert and many others around the world. But we see nothing wrong with those people. Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteBecause all over the world, church is a family business. It's about money.
DeleteSha nah with this lock he go dey pastor ni...
ReplyDeletePastor Jimmy is a Veryyy good Actor oooo
Congratulations Pastor J...
Pray, tell me what's wrong with an African wearing locs. Male or female.. That's all natural, I hope you know that.. You guys should leave him alone. No one is perfect afternoon.
DeleteObi for president

Anon 20:17. I hope you also know that the Levites were not entitled to any material inheritance in the land of Israel, like God said, he is their (Levites) inheritance.
DeleteCan you compare this with the stupendous wealth these pastors are amassing for themselves and thus the need to keep it(wealth) within the family as is now the pattern in many Pentecostal churches?
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus abide with him and his sisters and brothers and entire family. May you do the work the church has bestowed upon you with the strength of the Lord and at the end of it all be confident to say Lord Jesus come I wish you well pastor Jimmy.
ReplyDeleteMay God lead him through.
ReplyDeletepastor Jimmy has been pastor of cave church in lagos before he was appointed pastor of fountain of life.... he was pastor before his acting career picked of.... even in the bible, God selected the Levites to the priesthood if you wasnt from the levitical priesthood you couldnt be a priest.... did people then call the Levites family business...? No.... nothing wrong with pastor Jimmy being main pastor of fountain of life church, we just pray he does it unto God and not unto man in Jesus name
ReplyDeleteHow does this analogy match the current scenario?
DeleteFYI, Yes, it was a family business for the Levites because they were not allowed to own land nor engage in any other business, farming etc. That is the genesis of tithing (to ensure they had food to eat) since they were not allowed to do anything else besides God/temple related work, offering burnt offerings etc.
DeleteDid God bypass Isaac? God works with families. After Abraham was his son Isaac, then Jacob and it continued until it got to Joseph the father of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteSo before y'all cast aspersions and ask if church is a family thing, which of course it is. Read your Bibles.
Christians are not Jews. God walked and worked with everyone and called each individually. Joshua's children didn't end up being judges and christian walk with God is personal. None of the the disciples children took over the church. Jesus' brother did not inherit his ministry. Family business is what is going on in pentecostalism: the inheritance of physical assets and the means of sourcing them, property and businesses. You are either reading the Bible amiss, confusing Jews for Christians or knowingly misleading people.
DeletePlease is it with this his hair and tattoo😮? If you like say I'm judging, you're on your own
ReplyDeleteYes, with the locs and tats. At least this one's different from the regular fake, pretentious pastors. I'll gladly watch his type preach
DeleteMy dear. Abeg he should cut of that thing. Doesn't even suit him.
DeleteCongratulations to him. So you are expecting a GO to handover all his hardwork to another person. Dey there dey play now.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen a GO's son or daughter that's not a pastor in the church? There's nothing as lucrative as owning a church or getting involved in politics so. For this two money no dey finish
Whether you like it or not once your dad or mum owns a church ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED TO SERVE. So it's a family business.
The most complex B
People never cease to amaze me. The comments and passing judgment as assistant Holy spirit is so appealing.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your business with how Fountains of life decide to carry on with the mission of preaching christ.
We are so consumed with Bias and ITK attitude towards things of the kingdom.
SMH.
May God have mercy on us.
It doesn't matter, what matter is that God will grant him grace 🙏 in Jesus Name
ReplyDeleteIf you watch Greenleaf series Netflix then you ll understand
ReplyDeleteUnderstand what? Just curious.
DeleteThe funny thing is that human judge what they see but God judge the heart. The guy may be the first to enter heaven before any of the low cut, "non-tattooed" pastor's you see.
ReplyDeleteThe lady rescuing childing in Akwa Ibom is covered in tattoos while those that brand those kids as witches and cast them off to starve to death tie head scarf, wear Mary amaka, no earrings etc.
Thank you
DeleteThis phone and it's terrible autocorrect...Samsung una no try. The autocorrect in my kpanla phone is a billion times better.
Delete*humans
*pastors
* children
Congratulations to him
ReplyDeleteMore anointing
Jimmy is now the senior pastor, while his sister, Tolu, is now an Associate Pastor.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Pastor Jimmy
ReplyDeleteAll of you saying what is our business with how the church is run and if the choose decides to give daddy GO to anyone whether his son or not, please remember to keep the same energy , when we say it is not compulsory to give tithe to a church who sees it as a family business
ReplyDelete"Not those that called me Master, Master will inherit the Kingdom of GOD."
Delete2 things are involved there -
CALLED & MANAGE
No. 1- Has God called him?
No. 2- Did the Elders call him to come and manage his father's business?
