Nwa oguta: How many private jets did jesus own during his time? GOD will judge all dis 419 pastors.

My dear, I have heard this quote from a moslem classmate of mine when I was in school. You are probably a moslem. Well, let me explain this to you. Christ made the statement you are quoting before his death. He was first sent to the house of Isreal. Then after that John 1:12 says ...as many that believes in him have been given the power to become the sons of God. Also, after ressurection he said in Mat 28:18-20 that we should preach to gospel to all nations. Also, you can read Act 1:8 and the whole of Isaiah 53.

Moreover, have you seen the vision and the Mission statements of RCCG? RCCG has vision of going to the whole world to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Also, remember, Pastor Adeboye is not the founder of RCCG and he didn't buy the plane in his own name.

You sounded like a moslem. Endeavour to read the Bible passages I quoted. Just in case you have any question do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

God bless you!!!

The fact that the FALSE statement made by Ogbeche77 has so far received 17 'likes' says a lot about the level of intelligence and knowledge of the people who are always looking for what to criticize about pastors.

First of all, the Pope does not only have two PRIVATE JETS (called Shepherd One and Shepherd two), he also owns a COUNTRY, a BANK, a CURRENCY and many other things which no Nigeria General Overseer owns. Even with these jets, the Popes have so far been ineffective in their tasks of overseeing the I billion Catholics you talk about(perhaps because he does not leave the Vatican too often). Apart from the issues of the sex scandals, the Catholic Church also happens to be the most divided church on theology and doctrine. For example, the Church doctrine is against gay marriage. However, majority of Catholics including Priests and Bishops openly go against the Church and support it. Is that the product of effective overseeing? My simple view is this: If the private jet enables these pastors to effectively carry out their tasks, then let them have it! After all, not one is forcing you to contribute to the purchase of the jets.

Adeniyi A.:
i am a redeemed member. but recently,i have been thinking on d attitudes of our churches as it pertains to youth empowerment,jobs creation n the likes.
i believe that there's nothing wrong in our churches floating a non interest bank which support youths with brilliant ideas n good prospects, to get established, n setting up a centre wch oversees n monitors d capital to ensure judicious utilisation.
if a target of five hundred youths is set yearly,imagine d multiplier effects such will have in d society,even in d church thru attendance n how unemployment would be reduced. if govt has failed us,we cannot afford to fail ourselves.
there's bound to be a healthy competition if a church starts it n congregation increases rapidly.
even as we preach love to increase faith,let us also show love to brighten faces thru caring for their physical needs,let people be provided wt hook,line n sinker n bait so they cud fish.. Jesus talked abt two things a man live by when He said 'man shall not live by bread alone but.... so ,'bread' n ' word of GOd' are two things a man must live by.
so a hungry man has no mind to reciv d word of God,and that was y Jesus had to feed ppl first before preaching.
the high rate of crime in our country today is mostly due to poverty,these people go to churches n pay tithes n offerings(d word of God told us to pay them), but d church(95%)' have failed in their CSR. The church shudnt be a place where the rich will b getting richer n fatter n d poor will be getting poorer n wretched because they are been fed upon without any commensurate compensation for their doggedness in d house of God.
as we are establishing churches at difft locations,let us also,wt d same vigour establish people so that members will be running after us n not we running after them.
it's well

Ayeni have you checked the Bible passages I asked you to look up?

Your trends are filled with comments from people with little knowledge about the subject matters. There are real and fake ones too; the bible stated this categorically that in the end such will come up. Have a nice day!

epage: just imagine what we are thinking in this country, if the unbelivers are owning jet why cant our pastors? you dont expect them to use train, cars to travel round the world, do you? pls be sincere friends, will buy a jet if you have the means to?

Kamsy10:

Please stop answering for Jesus please. Jesus is will not subscribe into jet madness. At least he would frown at collecting jets from politicians and praying for them

georgee: The last time i checked, it was the white guys dat brought xtainity to nigeria. Been reading here dat the pastors need the private jets to travel abroad and preach the gospel. Gospel to who? Thesame pple that brought us this religion. Oooh pls, spare me this thrash

Integrity4u:
I wonda if we want our pastors to be PAUPERS. If it hapens 2 b wizkid or psquare bought tis their wont be any complain n 4 God sake tis ple arent anyting 2 our lyfs bt rather demoralising it.
Also Jesus at any point neva wantd a poor church. Jesus got all he nid at d rite tym he got money at d rite tym, donkey at d rite tym, and even ship at d rite tym. Enuf of dis political views to a Thoroughly religious settings http://ecfworld.

Jesus: And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

logica:

Matthew 19:24

Integrity4u: if u r standing on that then why on earth was Abraham so blessd, David so blessd and were d friend of God n a man afta God's respectively. Xplain urself. A pure religion mediocrity. Dnt jst read ur bible 4 critism read them 4 wat dey r n wit d spiritual backin

logica: That was a quote from Jesus; the man after whom your religion was named and whom YOU seek to follow. Are you a follower of Abraham or David? Use the singular brain cell left in your head.

victorv12: The Worst type of Christians are those who are Poor and yet still vehemently Defend their Millionaire pastors who rob them Blind.

Integrity4u: 4 wateva reason u might say we rnt born to b PAUPERS we are joint heirs wit christ who has evrytin in his domain.

Integrity4u: Abraham so blessd, David so blessd and were d friend of God n a man afta God's respectively.

Firstly, the pope 'owns' a private jet the same way Pastor Adeboye 'owns' a private jet. No jet is registered in their name. However, they both have jets that is available for their use whenever they want it.

In any event, we don't have to copy the pope. People do mortgage in the UK and US but in Nigeria, we buy houses outright. That is our style. So if any Nigerian pastor believe their own 'overseeing' is better achieved by the use of a private jet, whether registered in their name or not, the yardstick should not be what the pope does. If we must copy the pope, then we should support all Nigerian pastors to be treated like heads of states, own their own bank and print their money!

By the way, I don't get it about the rant about the humility of the new pope. Pastor Adeboye is also well known for his humility, even the report under reference acknowledge that as follows: "Though considered unique in his simple appearance and un-flamboyant lifestyle..."

Dee60:

There is possibly not a lot of demand for the pope to travel around. A church like the Redeemed Christian Church of God is massively evangelizing to countries. There are thousands of churches around the world who would wish and who are inviting the GO of RCCG and that is the difference. Let God be the judge in this matter. The GO of RCCG and the church has been a blessing to Nigeria's image in more than 100 countries, yet we never learn to appreciate our own. Let god be the judge. Let us not compare people. Round pegs do not fit into square holes!

muami:
I can see your definition and conceptualization of 'humility' is being affected by your poverty mentality. No wonder you erroneously believe and are angry that 'someone' owns three jets and an expensive university. If we take your poverty-infested definition of humility to be true, then the pope must be the proudest religious leader since he owns a country, a bank, prints his own money and has very expensive universities worldwide
