Name the lecturers that own private jets. If the pastors are into any business please name it and let us review his annual returns. All pastors claim to own businesses that only exist in their minds. If their businesses are that lucrative they can calm our curiosity by showing us their tax receipts. There are also pastors in India and Australia. Why arent they buyingprivate jets as much? The Bible says people like you are fed with what you want to believe. Many billionaires who have strings of businesses dont own private jets. The way you pledged to vouch for Adeboye sounda funny. As if you live in his house vizkiz: |

Lsofdk: The works I do shall you do and greater than these shall ye do.Jesus speaking on they that believeth on him. What does greater mean? It includes more than private jet. If Jesus lived in our days, he would use the best, and most comfortable means of transportation. No doubt about that whether the hypocrites agree or not. 1 Like |

tejpot: Enjoy life is not to commit as postulated by you. There are other ways you can do that without sinning. I also agree that there should be moderation in all they do, but where can we draw the line. It seems relative these days. But, I am not a winners church member, when this same man was driving tortoise car, nobody saw him. When he was living in the bush and eating 1-2 meal a day , nobody saw him.etc Even there was a time I heard and read figure of speech- as poor as a church rat. I believe God gave the devil a knockout punch by making them rich. It was an abuse to say what belongs to the church should beg to eat. My take, if you are not convinced, don't pay your tithes. If you believe it is a covenant and you're benefiting then pay. No force about it. After all people believed in MMM before it suspends its operations and people will still believe after January 16, that is if they resume operations. But I tell, I know of many people that their parents dont have hope of sch fees that are under church scholarship. Some are new members that are less than a year in some churches. How much have they contributed to pay their children school fees for 4 years. Etc. My take, I don't speak when I don't have the full details. We are far off. 1 Like |

Toks2008: @ regards the tithes issue, we are deceived. Your tithe is for you and your family to enjoy. Read Deuteronomy 14:22-26 . it explains the meaning of tithe. Pastors always use Malachi to deceive many of us since they know most of us don't read the bible. Malachi believing you already knew what tithe is, that is why he said you are cheating God. In all we are not suppose to give our tithe to anybody but for us to enjoy with our family. Thank you 1 Like |

Lsofdk: God bless u jare.... Jesus even commanded money out of a fish, when there is a pressing need for it. Despite His enourmous power He lived an humble life. He dedicated His entire life to serve humanity. I wonder, if the so call men of God have that kind of power... ur guess is as good as mine Mahatma Gandhi once said 'I like ur Christ but I do not like ur Christian, becos ur Christian is so unlike ur Christ' These people contributed, in no small measure, to the economic woes of our nation |

vizkiz: U fooool. enjoy what to fullness with poor people's earnings. Politicians and business men acquire private jets therefore pastors must have too. Where is the source of this money. I pity Africa as a whole. Their mindset is majority of the population's own enemy and will keep them in darkness for ever from the rest of the agile nd developed world. With people like u, Africa will continue to forage and eat the leftover like food, clothes, cars, fridge and toothpick etc from the rational world. With like ur minds, Africa will never have access to good electricity and will never be industrialised even in the next 1000 years. If the churches are not accountable and transparent wih the money collected from the vulnerables and instead spend it as their business return, what makes u think our politicians will ever see the need to use the public resources for the good of all when religions suppose to serve as the conscience of the entire people. As a matter of comparisons, when i came here overseas as a student i faced the hardest financial challenge of my life. In the place churches have assistance centres for emergency relief for students all over the universities. Infact it's like a competition among churches as to who will expand this and touch lives more by extending the hand of God to them. I tell u, i have received close to 4000 here in study assistance from church alone. Thats like millions in naira currently. And they urge u to come back once u facing such again. This gesture is for all races who face any kind of financial hardship. Most of the financial contributors may go to church ones or twice or no time a year. Because they feel God is the next person u see on the street. The pastors work elsewhere most times. Some have average cars others prefer to take trains. Every financial sunday, a breakdown of the financial revenue and expenses are carried out professionally with the help of a projector. People pay offering once. Most churches do not even talk about tithe and doesn't exist most times. And should d church not update members about the finances, they will be questioned by others or even be served a legal order. Most times u can best be certain the range of a car an average pastor has in his possession and most likely not more than 2. This is a sane society where people question the rationale behind ideas. A pastor comes inside the church and says u are poor because u are not serving God well will look foolish to everyone here. People are objective. I tell u, if the churches in Africa do the right thing, poverty will be reduced by 60 percent. Why people will help their dying next door neighbour before paying tithe and sowing stupid seed. We will not need outside aids. There will be no malnutrition in our boko something IDPs camps. They will see God physically. We will not even need red cross and others to help feed our own. Infact with only winners chapel, those children will be suffering from too much care and hospitality. I call u foolllll again because Jesus would also say that if he was still here.

i think its more of a pastor-churchmembers thing,if d churchmembers are comfortable,then there is no prob(or dat means they are benefiting somehow from d pastor).some churchmembers build houses for d pastor when most of them own no house,but they still defend their actions.one thing i know is,only a fool invest where there is no profit. 1 Like |

shedybaba44: We all know that Buhari deceived us and we are all suffering now. Adeboye on the other hand IS actively deceiving the poor NOW! But the Lord will judge Adeboye and his lust for material things. Did Jesus not say FEED MY SHEEP, Jesus never said FEED OFF MY SHEEP! John 21:16 He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Adeboye is flying a jet at the expense of the poor, with his never ending promise of prosperity for them. God is already revealing that Adeboye is a fraud to people, slowly but surely! |

vizkiz: But Jesus once said to the rich young man "sell all you have and give it to the poor". So should we be buying more and more or selling and giving more and more? Interesting that the game once said this : " thinking how they spend 30 million dollars on airplanes, when there's kids starving ". He wasn't talking about the church but that tells me that if unbelievers can think like this then how should we think as believers? |

Everyone of you condemning the usage of private jets in church ministries lack understanding. I also frowned at any clergy that use it for business, but I know some clergy men all due to the expansion of their ministries worldwide, it is this jets that take them all around the world including missionaries. I think the op is an atheist, an old fashioned that believe in old fangled. BC is different from AD. thanks. 2 Likes |

If churches can afford to build tertiary institutions as a form of investment which benefits only the rich, I see no reason why they can't go into manufacturing, Agriculture and other business venture that will benefit the poor directly and help alleviate poverty. besides how many churches has motherless baby homes, charity foundations and elderly care homes here in Nigeria? I believe they should be countless just like the number of churches we have. |
