In a previous report, Tobi Adegboyega weighed in on the growing competition among Nigerian churches to build massive auditoriums.
The minister of God questioned whether such structures truly advance spiritual impact or simply serve as monuments of ego.
Speaking in a recent post shared online, the founder of The Nxt Generation Church said the rise of colossal worship centres across Nigeria has become “concerning.
He argued that many pastors equate physical expansion with divine approval.
He said:
“The idea of a mega church in Nigeria is concerning. A pastor building a large auditorium only befits the ego of the pastor, and he’ll feel God is with him because crowds are in his church. They build churches and forget impact.”
Adegboyega’s remark is coming at a time when conversations around material display in the church are intensifying.
His comment also coincided with reports that Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, is completing a 100,000-capacity auditorium, one of the largest in the world, reportedly worth about N100 billion.
Nicknamed The Ark, the building is expected to replace the existing Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, which has served as the headquarters of Winners’ Chapel for decades.
While Adegboyega didn’t mention any pastor by name, his timing raised eyebrows, given Oyedepo’s ongoing mega-project.
