President Goodluck Jonathan: I Pay Pastor Adeboye's Salary by NicolasN: 4:30pm On Aug 07, 2013
“It is only God that can help me to change things. Pray for me now that I am the sitting president of your country. Pray for me not to deviate from the fear of God,”.
These were the words of the president, Jonathan Goodluck when he besieged the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway Church of the respected man of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye for special prayers.
There is no doubt that many believe that what transpired between the clergy man and the number one citizen of Nigeria definitely transcends prayer alone as we learnt they have a solid relationship that cannot shake.
A reason given on why Pastor Enoch Adeboye of Redeemed Christian Church of God has always be in support of President Goodluck Jonathan or has the habit of keeping mute on any national issue that concerns President Jonathan.
Sources close to the church have revealed to us that the relationship between Adeboye and Jonathan is more like a father and a very loved son; so it’s difficult to see wrongs in a favoured son, said our source.
The very popular Pastor whose influence cuts across all boards of government especially in the southwest and beyond has over the years enjoyed good patronage from both state and federal governments using him to score political points in the process and win the support of his thousands of members scattered all over the country. The story reaching us has it that, Pastor Adeboye has been made an unofficial spiritual leader of Nigeria from the Southwest and as such he has been placed on regular income. Though some may argue that the man of God is not a direct beneficiary of such fund but the fact still remains that it was actually because of the soft spoken pastor that such funds are made available. Another source in the church informed us that even if such should come from the presidency, it must be for the service of the church and not for the highly revered Adeboye.
Be it as it may, we gathered further that the regular income episode, we learnt was facilitated by a top Special Adviser to the President from the southwest who is also a member of the church . Though the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) which is the body that represents interest of Christians in the country also gets support for the organization from the government but Pastor Adeboye’s income was according to information a special packaged that the federal government gives to some spiritual leaders perceived to be supporting them.
We gathered this money has been made regular since President Goodluck assumed office.
Meanwhile, it is also learnt that Pastor Adeboye pays all the pastors in the Redeemed fold. Our source who is also a worker in the vineyard of God told us that the pastor is a respecter of the labour law that stipulates 18,000 naira as minimum wage for workers. The man of God has pegged his pastor’s monthly salary to be N70, 000. Every other month Pastor Adeboye pays out millions of naira as salaries to the pastors of Redeemed Church that has its tentacles spread all over the world.

If this news is true, then I think those pastors should be paid, cos if they dnt pay them, then pastors would have no choice than to steal the money, cos some would still steal even when being paid 500k. Cos they make money mhen.

But Oga GEJ, I knw my vote is as useless as the "P" in psycho, the only thing that can make me vote for you is if I get a US visa from you, so I can run before you finish Nigeria.

OMG, "a source anonymously made us gather that alleged revealing exposed secret funding."
I hate this kind of journalism. If you don't have concrete evidence stop alleging.

“YOU received free, give free.” ( Matthew
10:8 ) Jesus issued that instruction to his
apostles when he sent them forth to preach the
good news. Did the apostles obey this
directive? Yes, and they continued to do so
even after Jesus departed from the earth.
For instance, when the former sorcerer Simon
saw the miraculous powers possessed by the
apostles Peter and John, he offered to pay
them to impart that power to him. But Peter
rebuked Simon, saying: “May your silver perish
with you, because you thought through money
to get possession of the free gift of God.”— Acts
8:18-20 .
The apostle Paul displayed a spirit similar to
Peter’s. Paul could have allowed himself to be a
financial burden to his Christian brothers in
Corinth. However, he worked with his own
hands to support himself. (Acts 18:1-3 ) Thus, he
could say with confidence that he had preached
the good news to the Corinthians “without
cost.”— 1 Corinthians 4:12; 9:18 .
Sad to say, many who claim to be followers
of Christ have not shown the same willingness
to “give free.” Indeed, many of the religious
leaders in Christendom will “instruct just for a
price.” (Micah 3:11 ) Some religious leaders have
even become wealthy from money collected from
their flocks. In 1989, one U.S. evangelist was
sentenced to a jail term of 45 years. The
reason? He had been “defrauding supporters of
millions of dollars and using some of the money
to buy homes, cars, holidays and even an air-
conditioned dog kennel.”— People’s Daily
Graphic, October 7, 1989.

this story is not even up to satan's accusation but am sure the poster or the journalist just came back from Jupiter. he has no clue of whats going on in the world. is the RCCG a poor church? there are a thousand and one people in rccg that can pay pastor adeboye in millions and not blink an eye. for your own sake, stop slandering an innocent man. but even if gej sends him money monthly, is it not the duty of children to take care of their fathers? is pastor adeboye hungry? was he a begger before he came into full time ministry?

just mind your self!!!!!
