yet again false information, he does not proclaim to be a king he is, and so are all sons of God.We all are kings!We all proclaim kingship thru Jesus Christ who is the "king of kings".I am no destiny church goer and neither want to be.But I do see false media presentations, and this is what alarms me, that this type of reporting borders on downright dangerous smear campaigning.The investigations undertaken by Campbell & Co are not objective as to leave it to the readers mind to judge.Instead it follows a path of blatant questioning and answering based in scant evidence or not portraying the full truth, providing the readers with half truths, and thereby painting a onesided picture of their subject.Perhaps NZ media are best to leave reporting to the experts!

My name is Evangelist Haggai.

First am thanking God for your life and life of your family.

Seeing all we are going through as Christians the road to heaven is characterized by tribulation and any person wishing to make heaven at the end of his or her life must be ready to suffer for Christ sake.

We should know that we must carry the cross before the crown comes. And the cross is to make us fit to handle the crown and the attached honour (phil2vs5-11, 2tim4vs6-8)

are you a chosen one?are you runing this Rase with christians,God is looking upon you and me for His work.(1John2vs15and16)

love not the world,neither the things that are in the world,if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him.for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye,and the pride of life is not of the father but is of the world. (1Cor3vs11-15),two things is waiting for every man,Heaven Or Hell.

This is the last hope of every believer and for this purpose jesus christ came to restore the lost kingdom of God by Adam,back to man,the aspiration of every believer is that he\she will be in heaven at last,

It is a primary truth that no one lives in this place forever.every one must one day die to pave for the real personalit,the soul to live forever(1Cor 4vs20)for the kingdom of God is not in word,but in power.

(Matt24vs3to14)i am after the souls because a sinner is not a christian and a christian is not a sinner(1john3vs8-9)an waiting for our soon coming King.have you ask your slfe this question?what do you think about life after death?

How many soul have you save(Prov11vs30)i what you to know that christ love me and you and he gave him self because of me and you so let us use what we have and work for God and save souls for his kingdom.

(rom8vs12-13)heaven is the only important thing that how we live this life does not really matter to God. and makes no difference to us(11cor5vs10)for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ (titus2vs11-15)

This know also that in the last days erelious time shall come for men shall be lovers of their own selves, as you can see, all this, is what we are seeing in the world today. Some that call themslfe men of God in the world today hate to hear the true word of God.
And they that use this world as not abusing it, for the fashion of this world passeth away. know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death(ecc1vs2)

vanity of vanities all is vanity what profit hath a man at all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away and another cometh but the earth abideth forever. The entire river run into the sea yet the sea is not full unto the place from whence the rivers come there they return again all, Go unto one place. All are of the dust and turn to dust again, man dieth and wasteth away yea, man giveth up the ghost where is he? If a man dies shall he live again?

If we can work as christian and save the lost souls God will be happy with us because we are the chosen,this generation God has chosening us for his work.

Destiny church is without a doubt, a cult. simply bow down to its king & while ur in that stance, fill the offering bag, cant have king tamaki riding last years harley now can we? Is he a man of God? not for me to judge, but I would say the whole movement is suspect in the wake of the covenant. I see its members as mere batteries feuling brians lavish lifestyle...a stark contrast to the life of the one he claims to follow (Jesus). Ive seen plenty within the walls of destiny church taranaki, under the now defunct pastors lee & robyn edmonds, I have suffered much & lost my marriage in part because of the influence they have over my wife, who remained in the church when I left. 20 years down the toilet because I wouldnt kiss ass is a huge price to pay. my reputation is in tatters since my wife has smeared my name through the family court in an attempt to justify the action shes taken. so much for standing for family values destiny church...sounds to me like a Tui add "Yea right!"

To Teresa Wairoa Above. I am disapointed on what you say about the Ratana Church. I am a Apostle of the Church, and what you are saying is very wrong.You need to learn how our church work within the Holy Trinity before you actualy make a comment. Peace be with You - however you shall not judge, as it may and has offended others. We beleive in the one true God, also his Son,and the Holy spirit we add the Co workers (Faithful Angels) to our prayer in respect of the work they do for God, but we do not worship the Angels. Now on the 8th of November 1918 the Holy Spirit decended on Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana,at his home (also known as Ratana Pa these days) and appointed him a "Mouthpiece" of God, to spread the Good News of Christianity to the Maori people. From then he was known as Te Mangai (the mouthpiece of God- a Instrument) but he was only a ordinary man. Please do not speak of others, If they are true beleivers at Heart and practice what they should, and there names are in the book of life. On judgement day they will go and be with God in Happyness, however if not, they will perish into the gates of hell.
Matua Tama Wairua Tapu me nga Anahera Pono, Ma te Mangai hei Tautoko mai, aianei akenei AE.

Do the fools that follow him realise that they are paying for him and his wife to have those hideous hairdos?? Sooner or later the pair of them will end up in Prison for fraud, no more brylcream for him and no more pretending to be a white woman for her. God wont save those 2 sinners, oh whoops silly me Tamaki already thinks he is God in man form.... delusional much???

Having listened to members of his family, he seems to be the biggest rogue unhung and rips people off so he and his wife can travel the world on poor peoples money who can't afford to live from day to day, he's not a man he's a mouse and a thief, its time he was investigated for theft and brainwashing the vulnerable.

KING Brian Tamaki ? Why so modest ? God Brian Tamaki or Messiah Brian Tamaki would be more in keeping. Or if he doesn't want-or dare-to go that far, Emperor Brian has a nice ring (sorry, that just slipped out) to it...

I'm sick of seeing and hearing about this man all the time on Tv and Radio...Leave him alone!! I am also a christian, But Destiny does not speak for me.
If you want to tithe fine! If you want to give Just an offering then that's fine too.
All i can say is Brian Tamaki Like's the Bishop title. Cause he never declined the title. What's wrong Brian? Pastor not High enough for you?
Let Brian be Brian. And everyone else who doesn't go to Destiny just chill and worry about their own Church.
PEACE!

I have been to destiny church when it was known as lake city.In rotorua that is. It lacked the personal touch that a smaller church has. All churches tithe 10% of their wages but this is really pushed beyond what God asks for. Tithes help pay for getting the evangelists out to different countries and within to spread the good news. Not to follow in the Mormon footsteps. Mormons too put Joseph Smith before Jesus. Without the belief in Joseph smith one cannot be a mormon. Brian Tamaki is presenting himself in the same fashion. And his brainwashed followers are committing a grievous sin towards GOD. Destiny churches & He and his followers have gone astray. Like the odd other churches have done, such as the Ratana Church. Following the man is not following GOD. Moving to a exclusive Destiny city and being told to sell up to move there is definately not GODs word. Even Jesus didn't make his followers move to a separate city to worship him. Brian has got all puffed up. Pride goeth before a fall.
