Sarah Omakwu, senior pastor, Family Worship Centre (FWC), Wuye, Abuja, on Sunday delivered a scathing message to those donating looted money to churches, saying stolen money should not be brought to her church as offering.
According to transcripts of the sermon, Omakwu said she was not castigating sinners, but she preferred to miss their money and have them make heaven.
She said; “Any money that you cannot explain to God don’t bring it to this church, if you are in the civil service and you have stolen money, please don’t bring the tithe to this church I say this in Jesus name. You cannot do all that and then think you come to church and say a short prayer, that God will forgive you because of Grace.
“In church today, you see Christian ladies dress and there is no difference between them and prostitutes, what harlots wear to the bar, you wear to church in the name of Grace, nobody can persecute you because the devil has you already. If you are a prostitute here today, I do not condemn you, you are my sister, you are a daughter of Abraham and your body belongs to the Lord. I know some girls do this because they have bills to pay and you the man, you have the money but you cannot help them unless you sleep with them.
“You the man that take advantage of those young girls, what you give to them, your own children will have it too. Bible says rejoice with the wife of your youth and let her breast satisfy you, stop all these strange breasts everywhere. You may say, Pastor why are you cursing us, no I am not cursing you I am praying you out of your depravity.
“If you have stolen money, don’t bring it to this church, I repeat it in Jesus name, someone says pastor we will miss money, yes I will rather miss your money and have you make heaven. Christians should be a standing rebuke to the world.”
Why
why
because she said “MY CHURCH” and not the church…. Nigerian Pastors… i pity congregations
and u stil preach is more blessed to give than to recieve
Point of correction. Don’t bring stolen money to house of God. Not to my church. God owns the churches. Thanks.
U ar dia sir
Too correct
U are the one wrong….God cannot come from heaven to build church.instead He uses people to build it.this woman built the church so she is physically the owner of the church.she decides wot happens in the church but God is the spiritually owner…..if they ask u who owns winner chapel,who will u say? If u say God and they ask to see the owner,shey u will carry them to heaven and show them the owner abi?
@hip pop, u re still in d dark, in this rock u shall build my church said the lord
Where you there when the church was built. She knows what she is talking about. You are not God. Did I tell you she is my pastor and I look up to her any day anything because I trust her spirit
Who is this (Hip Pop General) firs is this your real NAME? . In short you are lost by brain. A pastor said my church and you are in support. Did you reasons at all before replying this. That is why your 10% of your income is being use any how in the house of God. More over, I don’t think you go to church, and if you go. Then you must be one of the bench warmer that always use church to cover face. Read and understand your BIBLE Very well, also ask for God’s wisdom before you send or post any comments. Thanks
If God owns the church both physically and spiritual then who built it? Did God come down to buy cement and rod for her to build it? Somebody said in the bible that “”I will build an alter for God”” why didnt u change the bible and say no.God will build an alter for Himself that no man owns an alter? U for change Bible na
Moses Adeusi….I am a very dirty sinner but wen it comes to interpretation of the Bible I am very God at that..
You don’t know any thing, pls. Don’t be among those people that always said. My pastor say. Even David in the Bible, build church with gold. He has never said my church. But he said. House of the LORD. Even Jesus christ said don’t turn my father’s house to a market place. Please don’t follow (I never shope pastor) they can miss lead you. My advice for you is this, read and understand you Bible very well. Fake pastor are many now a days. Follow your heart., and your heart is your church not the worldly churches. Those one, the fake pastors have turn it to business centres. thanks.
Church is not the building ,we the Christians are the church and Jesus is the head of the church
But one pastor said my church. And I said your heart is your church means how you think to others. If it’s good or bad, you think it from your heart. The spirit of God live inside also the act of the devil live inside. My friend follow any one you know that is right. That is your church.
Ogbonna Oluchi and Hip Pop General. Its obvious u guys don’t know much about Christ u claimed u re following. Church is not those big structures u see around, but a group of believers joining together for instruction, fellowship, worship and service. Church was established by Christ to unite Christians together as a spiritual family. So there’s nothing like “my church”, she might just be a servant God is using to look after His children.
You people should just shut up…. Arguing on the same thing
Haha
Hahahahaha
Ur still very far.
These churches are owned by individuals
And they run dem as businesses.
Extorting from the poor, hopeless and helpless
Thank you sir,
Hip Pop General, a sinner cannot interpret the bible. .. God doesn’t interpret the bible to a sinner.. Okay?
Ahaha don’t take stolen money to somebody I beg
You’ve not started
Thank God is ur church not the house of God…I’m not coming to ur church and I’m not a thief either….church and women #smh
You are not there when she said it. I was there, it is my church. Anyways we don’t need people like you that believe whatever you read on the Internet.
And I don’t ever want to come to that mf church GFY
@ Ogbonna Oluchi you are just an hypocrite
Hmmmm…@ ogbonna.
Ogbonna Oluchi you are a fool and only as little knowledge of understanding
You all need christ
Ogbonna Oluchi. U also need Christ and not the structure u people called church. Pls seek more of Christ and be saved, building structure called church will not take u anywhere.

Note: not MY CHURCH.. thank you!
Is her church not house of God,

Ur right Is not her church but the house of the lord because people go their to worship God not her she’s just talking nonsense
So she will start monitoring her church members to know if the tithes and offering they bought is stolen money. Madam preacher talk another thing..

The church does not belong to God? He closed his case.

Should women teach in the church?????
It’s a yes or no answer.
After dropping ur comments, read 1 Corinthians 14:34
Tell the Holy Spirit to interpret the bible to you very well (f u are a Christian) … Every verses in the bible has deep meanings and reasons why it is so.
D way one reads chemistry or Commerce z diff frm d way one reads d bible
Oya wat is ur explanation to dt scripture as ur holy spirit filled
Jahmai Shula…i dnt want to start a conversation dat wnt end..
My dear that was the same question I asked. Women are not allowed to teach in the church. Their duty is to sit and listen. No matter the amount of born again I be I will never ever this particular law. My dear I concur with you. They are something else
so God z makin a big mistak by usin d various grt wumen ministers tday? or God dos nt knw wat He’s doin agn?
@ Grace Archor
God cannot change,read from the bible ur self.
Do not use human tradition and philosophies to understand the bible
All the money in nigeria is stolen money…and for your information nobody will give you stolen money cuz things hard…since this buharialization regime has reach to the level of steal someones food…someone will be cooking and she will be like let me buy maggi before she will come back she will not see her pot of soup again..abeg chilax..things hard for the thieves ….

She is wrong to own a church as a woman……man dont seat under the ministeration of a woman.
they will even bring ritual money not only stolen money.
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, the law says.
New Living Translation
Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says.
English Standard Version
the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.
Berean Study Bible
women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.
Berean Literal Bible
let the women be silent in the churches. For it is not allowed to them to speak, but to be in submission, as the Law also says.
New American Standard Bible
The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.
King James Bible
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
hahaha weldon lolz…
The law and the grace
The law kills and where grace suffice, there is liberty.
Christianity is life not religion
Need i remind u mr , that we Christians are no longer under the law but under the grace of our Lord Jesus christ… Since Jesus Christ came, a lot has changed in d christiandom(permit me to use dat word)…. Because u have about 5 or 100 translation of jst one bible verse does not mean u knw the meaning and implication of it sir. Yes women are made to b submissive but not b silenced.We have committees or groups both social and spiritual dat r lead by women… If women r not meant to b heard then even a husband cannot take or listen to his wife’s advice or counsel which may lead him to destruction. I’m not into a debate with u or anyone, i jst need to let u knw that christian girls, ladies n women are to b submissive but not b silenced for we r under the grace of Christ Jesus n not under the law… Thanks
The law is overrule when Gods Grace is in action
@ Ibukun, look @ d translation very clearly. “Silent in Churches”. Not silent @ home.
@Afolabi you have no single point.
Women are to be submissive to their husband and that is why they shud remain silent in the congregation not at home.
At home still, they shud be submissive, they shud av deep respect.
At the same time, this doesn’t mean women are disregarded by God.
He values them so much and have selected some to be joint heirs with Christ.
But…
They must remain “silent” in congregation matters and are not required to teach in d church where men are gathered
Read ur bible well.
Is Christianity all about money??
Those people are just after money not lost souls….God please save my generation from knowing and u unknown slavery
since its UR CHURCH.then worship alone
no difference at all you take the money alone to benefit yourself
Tell them pastor
Exactly!
my question is how will she know if one bring the stolen money, what if its used to pay tithes and other givings how will she know? it only take the grace not by sayings. abi na corruption wey buhari dey fight make her dey fear? Just saying oo
Does a stolen money has it written on it that it was stolen?? Madam money is just a paper bt the value u get from it is the only important thing,if someone steals money God will judge the person for stealing differently,,all the money coming to u do you know where n how they come?? Since it has already been exchanged for a specific service it doesn’t matter again,, for example if someone steals money n use it to buy something,n the person they bought the stuff from brings the money to church what do you say about that?
I wish all pastors can say this.
Is she sure I don’t think she is talking from her heart
Why would a woman be a pastor,? Plz some should clarify me
Thank you for speaking to their conscience
since u know that they are thieves in the church, why not point ur hands to them and ask them to stop stealing, rather telling them not to bring the money to ur church which u know is not possible……A THIEF MUST STEAL
Point of correction ma,to house of God not ur church pls!
Noted
PASTOR PLEASE ITS NOT YOUR CHURCH BUT THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST
Lo.. Abeg if u nor want stolen moni..talk mk I open my church. I need d Osusu
Hmmmmm… Abuja dat is filled wit stolen…
