Acquiring a private jet is different from acquiring a car. When you buy a car, you can either drive it yourself or
hire an experienced driver that doesn't cost you much, you can either maintain it at a company mechanic or private mechanic, you can purchase direct insurance or third party insurance, and finally you park your private car in your compound or car parks. This is not the same with a Jet. Purchasing a jet is like
pilots. To pay pilots in dollars costs the church millions of naira a year. The jet must be certified air worthy meaning regular maintenance by the company that produces the jet (cost tens of thousands dollars or millions of naira to keep jets air worthy). You need to pay yearly insurance for the jet which costs thousands of dollars yearly. Private jet doesn't land inside your compound, you pay airports landing fees which could cost millions of dollars depending on how many airports the jet flies to. You cannot park a private jet in your compound, you can only park at an airport, this means you have to spend millions a year for parking rights at the airports. Jets use special kind of fuel, meaning you have to pay thousands of dollars or millions of naira a year for fueling of the jet fuel. So for people of this church and other churches thanking
God that their pastors acquire unending expenses, is this how you want your tithes, offerings and donations
spent? How about using them to build health centers that offer church members free and quality health care? How about building and equipping schools that church members wouldn't pay school fees? How about building factories
that church members can work and earn a living while the church makes income? Think about it.

A small family church of nearly 100 members in Canada have sponsored over 70 African children from kindergarten to university in the last 15 years. They
never met these children and have no relationship with them. I attended a program where some of these sponsored Africans from different countries came to meet and thank these foreign strangers who from their hard earned money raise them from nothing to something. This is what the work of God looks like. Acquiring a private jet is not God's favor, it is a venture that costs
you a fortune. Blessings of God doesn't put you under pressure. If you claim that the pastor used his own money, what was his business or job before becoming a
pastor. If you claim that the jet was donated to him, will the giver also pay all the yearly expenses attached to
having a jet.

As the head of the sovereign state as well as the religious leader of 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide, and with the rate he makes international travels, the Pope should have fleets of supersonic jets. No! the Pope don't have jets because of cost of operation and maintenance. The state of Vatican pays Alitalia to convey the Pope wherever he is going on a public chartered flight including for the officials traveling with him. The journalists and other non officials traveling with him pay for their tickets to the Alitalia. The country he visits return him back to Vatican with their own plane. The Pope is not just a religious leader, he is also the sovereign leader and head of state of the sovereign state
of Vatican. He travels an average of 10 countries a year. This is why the Charitas is the world's biggest religious
humanitarian organization helping billions of people around the world. The money that could have been spent
on maintaining Pope's jets are given to Chritas and other Catholics humanitarian organizations around the world
providing healthcare, education, skill acquisitions, humanitarian assistance and financial assistance to billions of poor people around the world. This is what
Christ will do if He is to be living in our time. He is the messiah and Lord of all things, yet he borrowed a boat to
preach on, he borrowed bread and fish to feed the people, he borrowed a donkey to ride on to Jerusalem and after his death a rich man donated his own grave because Jesus did not have a grave on his name. Think about it. The archbishop of Canterbury who is the head of all
Anglicans travels for the work of God on a public flight, the heads of Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Orthodox
churches worldwide travel on public flights for the work of God, the chief Jewish rabbi travels on public flight for
the work of God, the patriarch of Russia travels on public flight, the grand imam of Egypt travels on public flights
to religious functions. These are internationally recognized religious leaders with millions of followers
around the world. But local pastors of churches in Nigeria want to own private jets to do the work of God
and these pastors minister in a country with the most poorest people on earth.

What's really wrong with
Nigerians? Do you know?

They let religion blind them and are ignorant of the truth. A poor man keeps paying over ten percent of his income as tithes (call it tribute) to a multi-billionaire and is kept with the assurance that his reward is in heaven while he (the preacher) receives 'their' rewards on earth.

Sometimes I wonder if my fellow Christians read the Bible.

It is either this pastors knows some truth we do not know about wealth or they just fcck the truth and live life and forget about what happens after.

Happy Sunday y’all, don’t let no pastor snatch grace from you. Build a good relationship with God. You don’t have to go to any church, because the Bible said God has stop living in houses since the temple of Solomon is no more.

I don't know why ppl love unnecessary arguments like this. Must you follow the crowd in thinking? Why cant ppl just reason outstandingly about things.

Abeg where is it written in d bible that a pastor must not own a jet. If the bible isn't against owning a car, a house, even an airline business, how does owning a jet becomes a sin? Anybody can own a jet regardless of title.. Pastor, imam, yahoo boy, olosho, businessman etc A jet is a possession.

As for helping church members, there will always be the poor everywhere; even the bible says that. There are poor ppl in d mosque, shrine, even clubs in case u don't know. If all pastors sell their jets today and give the money to poor church members, you'll be surprised the number of poor ppl in the next service would double. Helping d poor is an unending ministry.. In fact churches have done better in this ministry than the governments. How many scholarships do governments offer. The church is not an IDP center even though they've always helped the IDPs a lot, lots of food supplies shelters and medical bills they've taken up.

Dangote, otedola, adenuga, adeleke would not sell their jets bcus they want ppl to know they care about the poor. When the bible says do not broadcast your giving to the poor (mat 6:3), who else do you expect to practice it better than a pastor. Even the jets the pastors own they do not broadcast it too but somehow the media finds out and make it loud beyond the jet owner's intention... It's jet the media are quick to see not the academic sponsorship, shelter, health bills, road repairs, street security lights among others

Recently otedola shunned a troll who accused him of always wearing tomford suit but not helping the poor. The man gave him the right answer..."go and do your research well". Ppl are just quick to condemn the rich especially pastors. And these ppl condemning are either poor too or averagely rich ppl who have done nothing tangible for the poor.

Im not ignorant of the fact that many pastors are fake and live on church fund, juju etc. But the fact about being blessed for sacrificial giving and hardwork still works for the true pastors

Church is a lucrative business now.

Do you own a church? List your church on Nigerian church directory https://www.naijachurches.com.ng/

The book of Universal History tells us the truth about the lucrativity of religion:

Observations of Rastus 8:1-8

1. I have observed and known how a homo can make much wealth without much work. This is better done in the ways of religion.
2. Go now to the temples of the religious people and you shall see how they sell cheap things at costly prices.
3. In the temple of the Jews do they sell a holy dove for eighty shekels of silver. And a fold of shittim wood do they sell for two hundred shekels of silver.
4. And a curtain of linen do they sell for fifty-two shekel of silver, whose worth in the market is only twelve shekels.
5. But they have called it the holy curtain because they sell it in the temple. And the holiest among the holy curtains do they sell for a thousand shekel of silver. And these are bought only by the rich, who used them for their secret chambers, believing that they cannot be attacked by thieves whenever they are behind the curtains.
6. And a bottle of olive oil is sold for seventy shekels in the temple, saying that it is holy and anointed by God.
7. And the priests grow fat upon the money of the poor. As they do in the temple of Furin and Dian, so also do they in the temple of the Jews.
8. In the church of the Krishtens also, they do so. For they buy and sell holy shadows of the apostles, deceiving themselves upon nothing.
