What is wrong with a pastor making millions of dollars in the ministry?

There are a good number of pastors that are making millions of dollars in the ministry. Some of these pastors have mansions, expensive cars and private jets. They receive money from their churches (salaries). They sell millions of books, CDs, prayer cloths, holy oils and other trinkets to people all over the world. These pastors consider such possessions blessings from God - not examples of man’s greed.

But the tide is turning for some pastors of mega churches. After witnessing some of their fellow pastors being roasted alive over the bonfires of public opinion, when revelations of their wealthy lifestyles, conspicuous spending and undercover proclivities were made public by whistleblowers, media watchdogs and disillusioned members, they are now wisely focusing on 'feeding their sheep' instead of 'fleecing their sheep', as well as trying to portray themselves as being as morally upright as possible, with the help of intense counseling.

Where before these pastors saw nothing wrong with making millions of dollars in the ministry and indulging in various types of undercover diddling, they are now rethinking, revising and rebranding their own private and public personas, as well as their sermons focusing on the gospel of prosperity.

This is definitely a welcome change and a sign that not only are the times changing, but also, the mindsets of pastors of some of the biggest mega churches in existence.

There is not wrong if a man of God is weathly but the way most pentecostal churches operate makes church look as if is a business venture. The early church back then were not practising what we are seeing today as the word of God was centred on holliness.This is the yardstick every preacher ought to preach even thought your calling or message is centred on another thing. For example God can call you to preach on deliverance or prosperity,healing,salvation e.t.c but holliness must be the watch word in all you preach. The church is seperate entity as every income that comes in should be used for maintenace and growth. The head of the church which is the pastor sees to the day to day affairs of the church while those in charge of finance settle expenses which include payment of salaries to church workers and pastors and to the less priveledge if need arises.
