I hope you realize that you are one of the sheep being fleeced not one of the shepherds doing the fleecing. Identifying with the group does not also make you one of the leaders. So avoid Stockholm syndrome.

My question is:is it not possible to serve God & still remain humble?What's the purpose of this insane kind of wealth?(not for a private individual but for a man of God).Solomon who was regarded as the richest man in the Bible saw everything and referred to it as vanity of vanities;all is vanity.

When some dullards finally wake up and realize that tithing and offerings are one of the greatest fraud on earth. There will not be too many pastors in Nigeria.

C_Ronaldo:

Please ask God, hope you know his voice? It is not our fault, we just serve him and keep blessing us. Have you heard of fearful blessings before? God is covenant keeping God.  IT PAYS TO BE FOOLISH AND FOLLOW GOD BLINDLY.

cold:

Listen young man, you don't know me.I'm immensely blessed,God has opened the windows of heaven & showered me with so much blessings i have no room to store it.Nonetheless,i will not see evil in the House of God & remain quiet.Like Christ said;'my Father's house has been turned into a den of thieves'.That is exactly what is playing out today in the house of God & it is really pathetic.How on earth can you justify 4 private jets for a man of God who continually instructs us to store our treasures in heaven?

REAL TRUTH:

@Ronaldo,,,I see you love God just like many other people out their,,I understand your passion,zeal and unguarded exhurberance,,the truth is that I ve been their before. I passionately pray from my heart that the prayers you made for your generations behind you would never stand,,,My very strong prayers for you is that you would truly love and search after God and you would have an encounter with him,,,serving God is completely different from serving man,,,
When a pastor(Bishop Oyedepo) tells you that[b] the bottled anointing they sell to you at winners is the "Life of God" [/b]where in the Bible can you find that? How do you reconcile Jesus who needed more than 5 Loaves to feed thousands of people,,would do with investment worth 4Billion naira,,,,Jesus would rather convert the jet to feed all the poor and hungry in the world.
And this one is seriuos I will need a return ticket if you re truly willing to pay for it,,,,give me your details and I will respond quickly.This is very serious pls,,,,jokes apart.

Well, the report is not true. The new one was bought so as to carry more mission materials for their African missions. The older one could not carry much stuff because it was smaller. The mission does not have four jets on ground. Th[b]e new was traded for the old one, so they only have one jet,[/b]

The jets are actually 2 not 4 as being reported

cold:

^^You're in denial but it is understandable,no matter how much we carry on with this discussion you'll remain unyielding even when the truth is starring you in the face.All these so called Men of God have their diehard apologists.If we bring up the topic of Oyakhilome-the likes of JoAgbaje will step in his defense.If we raise the issue of Adeboye-you'll find his followers rushing to his defense.Oyedepo nko-your likes will die for him,so please by all means;keep calm & carry on

Missing the point, Jesus never had no chariot or expensive stuff while he was here. This kind of heavy cash will go a long way to help "the brethren" who are needy in his church set up businesses or some other meaningful project to help the community and alotta people at once

gbengress1:

4 private jets?Where is he going?Though nothing is wrong with a man of God being rich but not at the detriment of the poor.Erelu Agbaye has spoken well, so I am not surprised and many will never believe.

REALITY101:

And the poor citizens are still giving their hard earn money these scammers?

Truth Bible say you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. The evidence of the truth you know is in the level of freedom you enjoys. MAN, I have found the truth and the only prayer for me is to abide with the truth till eternity.

If the Ministry has 3000 branches all over the world, it might just make sense to have 2 jets as it seems that's the case. After all the Bishop has to oversee all those congregations. It might just make sense because he has to fly a lot.

There are some issues though:

What happens when he passes on? Will someone in the family takeover or will someone in the ministry and not family take over the ministry.

Should he be overseeing all those congregations or should those branches grow into maturity that they no longer need an overseer? A thought that occurred to me in a dream the other day, whether it's from God or not I will not say, "Don't [expand your ministry] to exercise authority". But we don't know how God led him in his ministry but I would think that saints should grow to maturity that the local elders can take care of the church:

Eph 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:


The apostles also left the local churches in the hands of the Holy Spirit and the local elders:

bosom 1:5  For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

Act 20:28  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.


"General Overseers" need to understand that Christ is the head of the Church and the Holy Spirit through the elders can manage the affairs of the local assembly without their help. They must point people to Christ and then disappear. The apostles did it in a time when the scripture was incomplete, how about now that we have the Bible in full?

maxpro-xl:

AS LONG AS THE EARTH REMAINS, SEED TIME AND HARVEST WILL NOT CEASE,

for all you ignorant nairalanders, please drop your poverty mindset & THINK BIG. TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY. this same hatred is directed to pastor chris oyakhilome, pastor enoch adeboye, paul adefarasin, sam adeyemi etc.

How much is $30million to a man like BISHOP OYEDEPO who has over 60-published books. a single book of N1000 sells over 100,000pcs in a month worldwide = N100million. these books also sell on popular sites like ebay.com, amazon.com, facebook.com etc

the jets are for the ministry and not bishop's, its TWO PRIVATE JETS & NOT FOUR. the one bought in 1996 has been sold. and for your information. it was given to the ministry by a foreign donor.

for example, A 25-YEAR OLD GRADUATE STARTS WORK & SAVES TO BUY A CAR WITHIN A YEAR, ON HIS WEDDING DAY AT 27-YEARS OLD, HIS PARENTS GIVES HIM ANOTHER CAR AS WEDDING GIFT, HE ALSO BUILDS HIS CAREER OVER 5-YEARS & BUYS A BETTER CAR, NOW WITHIN FIVE YEARS & AT AGE 30, HE HAS 3-CARS.
TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG IN ACQUIRING WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD WITHOUT FRAUD & BY MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

EVEN PEOPLE LIKE 50-CENTS, LUDACRIS, JAY-Z, P-DIDDY, BEYONCE & SOME NIGERIA BANK CEO'S CAN AFFORD PRIVATE JETS. PLEASE EMBRACE A P0SITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE, THINK BIG & STRAT SMALL. FORGET THE PAST & FOCUS ON THE FUTURE.
make a search on google. type "KENETH COPELAND". this man has given out over 11 private jets to others as gift. NOW, THATS BEING DEDICATED TO A DIVINE ASSIGNMENT,



i have a feelings you must be a dumb, 4 private jets when there are tons of unemployed graduate in his church, go and die brother

C_Ronaldo:

Please tell the poor citizen in your family(since they will listen to you) to stop giving. God is never in need!!

cold:

Of course you know the truth but like i said,you have chosen to live in denial probably because of the little perks you get every now & then.This is the Cold ,Hard,Bitter truth:

   "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom Of heaven: but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. Many [note the word MANY, not the FEW] will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderfu1 works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that commit iniquity."

Matthew 7:21-23
