joseph1832:
So are you saying a pastor driving a 10 million car is humble?. And just how many times did Jesus perform his 'triumphant entry'?. I suppose he kept the donkey he used as his personal donkey as well eh?.

My guy no make me happy oh!

Bros, I am not in support of the 10m car.

That's only one of his Bentleys na. He's competing with 2Chainz and Rocko. They too always come around here.

Don't make me laugh abeg. Is the pastor a gangsta rapper?

What was the sin of the rich fool? Wanting to spend the money he made by his on hand to please only himself(self centeredness) and he never taught of giving part of it to help the poor and needy(getting rich towards God) The rich fool will always enrich himself to consume upon his beastly lust after materialism but they shy away from helping the poor in their community. Why would any pastor that is suppose to be teaching the congregation contemptness have 4 private jet to himself?

plaetton:

You deliberately pretend not to get, so as to avoid facing the issue here.

Anyone, believer or unbeliever who makes money in a legitimate and ethical way is free to enjoy whatever his /her money can afford.

In this case, as in many other cases, the most important question here is: How does a pastor Earn income?
Lets start with that question.
And I want you, in particular, to please Answer that question.

my friend,do u know any Pastor anywhere?anyone at all? If u do pls go and ask him how he earns his income and then come bk and tell me

Ur asking me,was it pastorrolly u saw?

JUBILEE2000:


Moderation is key bro

whatever 'inherit' means to u is left to u:moderate inheritance,dys-altruistic inheritance.its none of my business

The vital fact still remains that big "HOW" u wud be asked to answer that day

AllNaijaBlogger:




There are fuel efficient and comfortable cars that one can get for 3-4 million.


Must a pastor drive luxury?

what if it was a gift?? but of a truth, driving a 10m car in Nigeria here looks outrageous. . My opinion, though!

AllNaijaBlogger:



See gobe. Only the meek shall inherit the earth. Meek not materialistic

who are the meek?

AllNaijaBlogger:



The big boys and kings in those days used horses and chariots. Jesus's triumphant entry was humble.

Exactly my point.

nigerian pastors are just without chill.

LOL. Most gangsta rappers want to be like the guy. It's just that their money neva reach his own yet.

Even if was a gift, a true humble servant of his community of poorer christians would sell the car for cash, and then use such for the welfare of the less fortunate in that community (and there are plenty plenty of them ).
This is would be a greater shining example of self-sacrifice.

How come it is always the poor flock that are called upon to make self-sacrifices?

A true Pastorship should , by necessity, entail that the person claiming higher calling should always sacrifice his personal worldly comfort for the greater fruits of spiritual riches and salvation.
Not so

Great reply. Humility gets one into the dinner table of kings.

One thing that no one even considers is the effect of such cars. A pastor in America stated that he drives an electric car to save the environment. Our Nigerian pastors will spend 20 million on a luxury car to look good rather than spending bout 8 million on a fue efficient and environmental friendly car.

So he's a pastor?

@OP
He may have been given or may be able to afford it. All fingers are not equal, my expensive may be someone else's cheap. Someone may use a 150thousand naira car or no car and still go to hell. It's good though that the pastor or person not be insensitive to his niche or proud. In summary, a man's life doesn't consist of what he possesses.

Are you a pastor by any chance?

I've always been thinking of this.
How come pastors of big churches don't visit their churches in the villages?
How come they don't organize crusades or programs there?

Why concentrating more on the city?

As per the 10million naira car and bodyguard,
U haven't seen anything yet.

They copy and overdo their masters,d americans.

You still haven't repented from your evil ways of defending corruption in the church

You still to understand what this topic seeks to address.
Pls name any of our known preachers who were wealthy well before they became preachers.
And if you can show any, then also tell us whether they are wealthier or poorer.

Pls be honest for once and admit that pastoship is a get-rich-quick rachet similar to 419, but without the legal hassles.

A pastor making a living off the gospel is scriptural
The problem is deciding what 'average lifestyle' is. What car should he drive in your opinion?

Thank you for admitting that you do not understand the teachings of Jesus.
And where are the scriptures to prove?
And Btw, is christianity about teachings Jesus or scriptures?

AllNaijaBlogger:
A week ago, I saw a popular pastor at shoprite coming down from a newer model range rover with a bodyguard. That car should be at least 10-20 million naira. A 2012 range rover sport goes for 11 million naira at least.


I do not want to mention the pastor's name so that his members and followers here do not come and bash me. I am a christian but such extravagance bothers me.


I just want to know what biblical or commonsense justification can be given for such an expensive asset?

These wanton individuals are trapped in a cycle of lawlessness, open the hearts of his fellow pastors and most members of his congregation, they are all chasing after the same vanities, each man prays to be the next person, after pastor, to drive Range. They have all been deceived and ensnared by their lust.

You are next in line for a miracle!

Philippians 4:5
Let your moderation be known unto all men.

In a country where it is said that more then 50% of the population live on less than 2 Dollars per day, it is criminal for a pastor, acclaimed man of God to own a car worth 10million Naira. Jesus told the rich young man to go and sell off all his goods, then take up his cross and follow him, applied to today's circumstances, is this kind of pastor fully surrendered to Jesus?

Mathew 7:15,23
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Pastors ask for tithes in the name of God. They say “God needs your help building the church”. What does god need with a multi-million dollar church? Nothing. These are the same so-called church leaders that you'll find riding in fancy cars, eating the best foods, living in expensive homes and living the life of wealthy people while their followers scrape and struggle to do “God's will” by tithing. These so-called leaders will lead congregations in the worse of the worse neighborhoods and on their way to church to preach on Sundays or Saturdays or whatever day they declare to be the Sabbath, they will step over the homeless or the less fortunate.

We need the truth to be spoken out----Cool

You don't make much/any sense.
After Pentecost, so many were selling their properties. Had they disposed them after following Christ, they would have nothing to dispose
Or you imagine that only new-believers were selling?

Just tell me what car the minister should spin that does not pass the 'criminal' threshold

Ford Explorer. Chevy Tahoe. Camry. Accord. Forerunner. All $30K less. Brand new with plastic. That's luxury. The Range is too much for his message of piety.
