Nobody is saying they should live descent but many preachers are going out of track. Many of them are now talking more of money in their sermons. Many have lost it and have deviated from what they ought to preach. Acquiring wealth here isn't just restricted to pastors alone it's for all Christians. We shouldn't be carried away like what's going on now. It's very easy to say but difficult to practice

BluntBoy:


You fool, when you hear today's denominations, is it not the senior pastor's name and identity that comes to mind?

Winners (Oyedepo comes to mind)

Redeem (Adeboye comes to mind)

Deeper Life (Kumuyi)

This is what happens when a church is shepherded by a single man rather than by elders/overseers as we had in the Early Church. How many elders in each of the Early Church do you know?

I have quietly read through your comments all I can see is a man blinded by his foolishness.s .... A man of God prays for me to win a contract I won the contract will it be bad if I buy him a range rover ? this men of God have touched lives..... All you people talk about is tithe..how many people pay their tithe..... God bless this churches in numerous ways... I know you will he happy to hear that pastor ibiyiome is homeless and hungry that will show he is a real pastor.... how dumb you are...... get a life

BluntBoy:


Abeg go. You were a waste of time. You are the most uneducated Christian is have met here, honestly.

oyeludef:
u r very correct, alot of pastors are swaying from the divine mandate and emphasizing on ephemeral temporal things. However, that doesn't mean all pastors are off track. If u tell me a pastor is off track based on a sermon he preaches, den i will agree. But just merely seeing dem from afar off, we can't say dat conclusively until we av listened to dem or gotten closer

Mailthaddeus:



More folly being displayed, ride on. U expect Jesus himself to come here to start up churches for u ani? Mumu. Christ has Commisioned his apostles to go all out and preach the word, spreading the good news all over the earth. It is men who has d grace will do this not Christ himself, He has already done his own part. Well,a deranged fool won't understand this. Why am i even arguing wit a Babalawo Self. Besides, the Jet is a birthday gift, which i will buy 10for him if i HV d means. Is it ur money? Poverty stricken fool like u

John 12 New Living Translation (NLT)
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
Six days before the Passover celebration began, Jesus arrived in Bethany, the home of Lazarus—the man he had raised from the dead. A dinner was prepared in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those who ate with him.
Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance.
But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray him, said, “That perfume was worth a year’s wages. It should have been sold and the money given to the poor.” Not that he cared for the poor—he was a thief, and since he was in charge of the disciples’ money, he often stole some for himself.
Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. She did this in preparation for my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”

when the church was busy constructing roads in portharcourt city, building houses, dashing out cars, giving out scholarships helping the helpless...... and many more you don't see it as offering money o. but if they do something for pastor it then becomes offering money. but it's our offering money and yours is not inside so stop complaining and enjoy whatever damnation you will bring upon yourself by saying what you know nothing about

BluntBoy:


So, your pastor's offering can buy them?

Calm down and listen to me. Stop glorifying a man like you. Other people contributed to those bags and you want to give all the credits to your pastor. If he is so generous, why didn't he ask that the jet be sold and the money given to the poor.

Would Jesus or any of the Apostles or Early Church leaders have accepted such an expensive gift when billions are suffering all over the world? You want us to see the good works of your pastor as if only his money went into it. I am even sure that he didn't even contribute one kobo to the purchase of those bags.

His members bought him a private jet or he used all their tithes, offerings, special donations etc to buy private for himself? Uncle Op, you can lie o, are you related to Laid Mohammed?

A lot of us are good in criticising others while the evil in our own bosom are concealed jealously.

If giving my pastor who rides in a Limo half of my salary is a source of Joy and happiness to me though I dont have a bicycle whose headache is it. Call it madness call it foolishness as long as it gives me joy and happiness what concerns anyone.

Its like when an extremely handsome guy who is rich is dating a girl who is not only poor but also ugly and his friends and family are going mad over it.
Whose headache? If that is the person he derives joy being with then let it be.

If anyone thinks thousands of thousands of his church members are fools and are being used then that person must be mentally unstable. If you dont know by now that there is something positive all these multitude are deriving that makes them wanna give and give then you are high on something.

I and my young pastor brother were discussing this issue one day and this is the way he put it.
He told me a story of when he was an assistance pastor to a now big pastor in the late 80s. They had a crusade to attend in Ilorin and they set off from Ibadan. The car of the senior pastor was a reckety volkswagen beatle on their way the car broke down in the middle of the bush. Time was fast aproachin for the start of the crusade and the pastor was one of the officiating ministers. The man had to leave my brother to stay with the vehicle and he joined a motorbiker to Ilorin. My brother slept alone in the bush with the car. He now asked if he sacrificed all that in those days and now he has a wealthy member who buys him a Limo. Those who didnt see his surfering that time would come around to criticise him. What about the senior pastor who rode on bike to Ilorin.

It realy concerns nobody what the congregations buy for their pastors or what the church uses the churchs money to do.

I know of a pastor serving under Oyedepo who had an assignment to do at Abuja from Ibadan. He boarded a plane from Ibadan. A young man he knew from no where stood up from his seat behind came to his seat and asked "Sir are you a pastor" the man answered jokingly "do I look like one" the guy said "something tells me you are one" and the pastor said "Yes Im a pastor I serve under Bishop Oyedepo" the guy said " Sir can I have your card" and the pastor said Im not a business man I dont carry a card . In short the guy ended up getting his number and the following day called and asked for his bank details the next thing the man of God would hear was alert.

How much?

20million cool cash.

There are ppl with legit business that are stinkingly rich and dont k.now what to do with money and God sends one to you will you say No?

Lets just becareful how we judge ppl. Thats my take.

My brother you dont need to proove any thing to the bunch of myopic people on social media. They are too blinded by a poverty mindset and this backward environment we all live in called Nigeria. They pity poor pastors yet they still envy rich pastors...

many kind hearted pastors are doing great charity works without making any noise about it. David ibiyiome was a former winners pastor, moulded and ordained by bishop david oyedepo so this is the beginning of better things to come for this great MOG

A private jet will boost his evangelism ministry around the world. Tell me whats wrong in church members donating to acquire a product that will hasten their pastor's global tours. a renowned pastor keneth copeland has given out over 26 jets as far back as year 2009 as gifts to different pastors.


This man is a very humble pastor and still attends the annual shiloh program at canaanland to get more wisdom and as a sign of respect for his spiritual father. So my dear OP, haters will always talk and its better to just ignore them.

PS:
If you pity poor pastors then dont hate rich pastors. its better to be envied that to be pitied in life. Poverty is not holiness. Infact poverty is the root of most evil in our society. May God give you the wisdom to renew your mind...

Now answer this question...
Someone who does not know you, or your name, or ever met you before, opened up channels for you to make wealth.
Something your father, mother or blood relations couldn't do for you and some day you become a billionaire, tell me you won't buy him more than a private jet...


And for your information, the private jet was bought buy few members who came together to do so without his knowledge.



The above pictures is not upto 1% of the good things the pastor and it's members do for people...

BluntBoy:


These are not his good works. Or, is the money his? He is a con man if he preaches tithing under the Law. He is a thief if he has enriched himself by merely preaching the Word.

My Friend pls keep quiet if u don't have anything to say. There is no evidence that any aircraft was bought. The images looks edited at first sight. But even though they bought it for him, how e concern u. If someone wants to spend his money how he likes is that ur business? Talking about stuff u don't know. The Man doesn't collect any tithe from the church. He gets money from books he writes and from donations people make on his behalf not on that of the church.

EMEKA1MILLION:
so what is your point exactly?

BluntBoy:


Common Oga, show me Biblical verses of Moses counting himself among the sons of Kohath or bury your head in shame.

The reason why I called you uneducated is your obvious ignorance. I used the Levites as those whose inheritance was God. There was a census where Moses and Aaron counted the Levitical families. If Moses and Aaron had counted themselves among those to be set aside, surely the Bible would contain it. Provide a verse.

oyeludef:
so if Buhari did a census of the fulani, he is no more a fulani? do u even listen to urself? I wonder where u get ur theology from.. Incase u didn't know, all priest were levites but not all levites were priest. There was only one tribe whose inheritance was the Lord nd dat was the tribe of levi. They alone had the prerogative to work in the temple and d priesthood was selected from among the levites.. Samuel was a levite nd also became a priest.. I no know d kind Bible study wey u dey do

Bros, when you see good work appreciate it. Even your Governing body upon the billions they see year does nothing, rather they push the Witnesses to preach and make more contributions and if they see anything of value, they sell it.

I saw this picture and I became impressed.

Many will still use the money for themselves but he has shared it. God himself will remember him for this good works

Go and read this again

James 1:27 Pure, unstained religion, according to God our Father, is to take care of orphans and widows when they suffer and to remain uncorrupted by this world.


Secondly, even Jesus didn't solve the problem of all people. Millions were still suffering when he died and he didn't lift them from their suffering. My point is, he couldn't solve all problems. But let me ask you, what has your leaders done to those suffering within their mist? Among them, there are widows, orphans, poor people. But what has the organization done to help them? Yet they are sitting on billions. Buying real estate and selling them to make profit. But Any month these one fail to report, they will be called to put in their time.

Then too! You seem to forget that Jesus accepted and expensive gift, causing the pharisees to be angry and said the same thing you said, selling the perfume and giving the money to the poor. And even at his burial, he was wrapped with the best of cloth, cloths of kings and was laid in the best of tombs.

When you see a good work, appreciate it. When I saw the jet the morning I was a disappointed, but this evening I see reasons to understand why the members did what they did.

If all the pastor in this world, or if all the leaders of religious organizations have done at least half of these, with the billions they control, how do you think this world would be like? Think about that.
