My stand ont his issue never changed. I agree with Kukah 100%...

Pls focus on the substance of Kukah's message, and not whether he'd have accepted the gift or not...

Lastly, I'm sorry about saying you lack education...

teeo: There is no substance in Kukahs statement, churchs today are blessed because the bible contains secrets to living a life of affluence here on earth and after life in heaven.
Why is it that people always want to assume that the church is poor. The church and its members are not poor. God keeps blessing his people.
Poverty is a state of life also wealth is another state. Those of us who pay our tithe are blessed and can also be a blessing.
If the money used to buy the jet is not your fathers own then shut up.

teeo: ....Those of us who pay our tithe are blessed and can also be a blessing.

kokoA: 1. and what make their lives more important than hundreds of other people that die in plane crashes?
2. If the so called religious leaders focus on their real work and speak the truth to people in power we won't be in the mess we are now, our aviation sector woul have been good.

Demdem:

Nobody is saying the church is poor. Infact its a good thing for the church to be wealthy. However I believe we have misplaced our priorities. Churches now tend to be business minded than fulfilling the needs of the people within their capability.
Let's take oyedepo 4jets for instance. Don't u think the yearly amount that will be used to maintain, run and facilitates those jets in millions of dollars can be used to subsidize covenant university school fees which even the vast majority of his members can't afford to send their kids.

When the missionaries came, they came with schools, hospitals etc that were affordable and at times free. What will we say is our legacy now? Outdoing ourselves in acquiring vanities in the midst of abject poverty.
It's a shame.

GARRI (x7):

... What about the poor members of your church, they don't pay their tithe..right??

ujchief: For those comparing the ministers of God we've got now to the ministry of Jesus, paul and peter, the bible made it clear that the glory of the latter days shall surpase the former.
Also in Joel 2:28, 'In the last days, i will pour out my spirit upon all flesh...
Retrace back to vs 24 'And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

Ogbonaikenna: the vats shall overflow with wine and oil for everybody not only for the "men of God"

Abagworo: Left for me I will ban conribution in Church. Any pastor found guilty of collecting tithe or contribution will face death penalty and there wealth shared to their poor members. Disgusting!

teeo:

Oyedepo doesnt have 4 jets. The Living Faith Church worldwide has 2jets for airlifting its team of pastors around the world. Living Faith has over 300 churches outside Nigeria and pastors travel to this countries every month. Should they depend on Dana air when the church has a faster means.

The Redeemed Church of God also has a University and numerous secondary schools across the nation. You people just like saying lies about the work of God

teeo:

It is only a Church that its members have been blessed to a point of overflow, that can be a blessing to their pastor.

Abeg move from here with ur disgusting post.

Billyonaire: The churches are supposed to share their revenue and gifts among members, Jesus the Christ, shared the little 2 loaves and 5 fishes amongst the multitudes, and we keep reasoning the miracle part of it without understanding the motive. Church Revenue are not supposed to be exclusive rights of the MOGs, its supposed to be for all. What moral standing does a private jet flying pastor has to admonish the Government on revenue sharing and provision of free amenities to citizens when they can not even help the poor in their churches but they use their excessive wealth to purchase private jets and other luxury automobiles. Lets not forget that churches are not being taxed even when billions of dollars are going through their bank accounts annually, but my business is taxed by the Federal and State governments. Churches are not taxed because they are under the Charity Organization acts & category, but I have not seen a single act of charity by the Churches and their MOGs in Lagos. The Covenant university and other Church owned universities are more expensive than Government universities, their hospitals are more expensive, their restaurants charge exorbitantly, even Olive Oil, Candle and other spiritual ointments, incenses and apparels costs over 40% mark-up on the prices obtainable across the street. The churches are NOT charity organization, they are profit based, and if they are profit based it means they lie to the law, and if they lie and dont pay the government revenue, then it means its theft of supposed revenue accruable to the government, which was supposed to be used to provide amenities to the governed; theft of funds, is fraud. I therefore move an assertion that the church is fraud. And all pastors with private jets should be imprisoned and the private jets seized and liquidated to pay for all taxes they owe. It all starts with the lie that they are charity based, and they end up being most fraudulent. I challenge any pastor to tell me that his church is a charity organization, and I will proof that he is a fraud. There is no single act of charity in the churches, but a system of barter.

Ur question shows you need an education.....

gbadexy:
^This here is the reason why it is encouraged for youths to read educative and informative materials instead of trivialities.
I don't think you listen to public lectures or you know the pedigree and antecedents of reverend kukah.
The man is principled, vociferous and highly respected nationwide.

FreeGlobe:
for the first time ever Billyonaire is making a hell load of sense
