Psalm 39:6B 'He heaps up riches, And does know who will gather them"

Nowadays, people are in desperate need to get rich quickly, they are ready to kill, destroy, steal, tell lies, defraud anyone, scam people, do rituals and bear false witness just to make money.

People are ready to deny their best friends, forsake church, fight their brothers or even kill a whole family just to make millions quickly without considering the fact that they may be wasting their time on nothing.

We all heard the news of how one rich man died not too long ago leaving a magnificent building behind, what a wasted effort!

Some of our youths are hell bent on making money on the Internet through Yahoo Yahoo and after they are caught their eyes will clear that money is not everything.

The rich people are advised in their own interest not to store up money in this wicked world where it will rust and destroy.

Jesus Christ said in Mathew 6:19-20

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves breakthrough and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heavens, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, where thieves do not break through nor steal"

This message is for the rich people who are keeping billions of naira or whatever currency somewhere where in a foreign country or anywhere to know that

it is a wasted effort and unprofitable act because many lives would have been saved if the money had been properly used or utilized to build hospitals, company, roads and many productive ventures that will create a new Nigeria for all of us.

The question is: why keeping the money meant for millions of people in one account or a foreign country, you cannot finish spending the money yet you keep it from innocent people that will need it for survival.

You heaping up money and yet you don't that you will not spend or enjoy the money.

Use your wealth in a profitable way that will make God to happy with you.

Use it to reduce suffering in our environment.

Walking through the city of Lagos, you see people sleeping on the side of the road or under bridge because there is no place for them to sleep.

Many families are living from hand to mouth yet you keep the money somewhere where it will not benefit anyone, that is wickedness.

Use your money to bring men back to God, help the prostitute, help the orphan, help the widow, save souls with your money in the work of reconciling men back to God through the work of Evangelism in your local church, assist people that are going to bring men back to God with your money, win souls for Christ with your money.

Many are homeless, build new houses for the homeless, let them pay by easy means possible.

You are keeping money and you don't know it is a wasted effort.

DEMYSTIFYING POVERTY AND WHAT TO DO

Beloved, poverty is evil and is very bad. One of the greatest tragedy plaguing black man and the entire human race is poverty. It is so disheartening to see our people traveling to foreign countries to work as housemaids, gardener, mortuary attendants, cleaner and all kinds of jobs to survive, it is even worst when academician and people of great intellectual capacity travel abroad to serve their juniors. These are the consequences of poverty. As I am writing this piece, many all kinds of dirty things including ritual just to get out of poverty.

The great grandfather or grandmother of all crimes is poverty. If you look into these crimes critically, you will discover that these crimes can be traced to poverty.

Proverbs 30:8-9"Remove far from me vanity and lies, give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me, Lest I be full , and deny thee and say, who is Lord? OR LEST I BE POOR, AND STEAL, and take the name of my God in vain"

Many are into crime not because they really wanted to do so but because they got stranded, they did not know what else to do to solve their financial problems.

However, if the Government can do something for the jobless as they do in some developed countries, they would not need to employ more armed police because crime would have gone down drastically.

When a man is in need, you put him in a state of being tempted to do anything evil. He is unstable, unbalanced,he
2. He is frightened, fearful and jittery. He can do anything, he can kill, he can commit suicide. He will just do anything to survive. This is what the ritualists do. They may be pricked in their conscience to stop but because of the pressing need they ignored the silent voice of conscience and continue to use human being like them for ritual just for cash. Where will it end them? Of course, they know where they are going. Hell fire.

Poverty can bring shame, reproach and disgrace to a person, family or nation.
Proverbs 14:20 " the poor is hated even if his own neighbor, but the rich man hath many friends"

Poverty can kill. See what is written in the Bible, Proverbs 19:15b " the of the poor is their poverty"

Poverty means: Mr. Nobody or Mr.Useless.

Let's see how poverty can be defined or explained.

The simplest definition of poverty is lack of money, this is just at the peripheral. If we really want to go deep or make it more meaningful, poverty is the absence of good virtue. When a man is devoid of good virtue like patience, honesty, kindness, humility and self control, then the man is extremely poor.
For example, patience a great virtue, you don't have patience, you are considered to be very poor. It is written in the scripture, Proverbs 21:5" The thought of the diligent tend only to plenteousness, but of everyone that is hasty only to want.
So, never be in hurry, one step at time. If you can be patient enough, you will have everything.

Furthermore, it has often bee
3.it has often been said that the poorest man is the man without vision. To be visionless is to be good for nothing.

Of course, poverty can be herditary. Nobody needs to tell you that there is problem when you discover that your great grandfather, grandfather and your father struggled till they died. This could be generational.
When the great grandfather had covenanted his children children to the next generation to poverty and struggling because of the sin he committed and was cursed. This is generational poverty.
It is necessary to dig deep into your foundations with fasting, weeping, prayer and ask why. Not only that you need to ask questions from a member of your family about what really happened. Then go for deliverance and counseling.

Poverty is dirty and full of rags. The smell of poverty is as the smell of death. You must develop a mindset on how to set it ablaze and destroy it completely.
Poverty must die.

4. The Bible gave us a perfect example of a poor man named Lazarus in
Like 16: 20-21" And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate full of sores. And dressing to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores"
This is poverty in the real sense of the word.

Life applications of poverty:

Poverty is when others are sending their children to school, you have no means of doing the same thing.

Poverty will make a man to commit suicide because his wife could no longer endure it.

Poverty will make a man carry heavy load until his becomes bald.

Money versus poverty

Having enough money without the business prowess is a tragedy. The person may be okay financially but poor mentally.

Money is not everything, money is limited when it comes to health issue but a good attitude and great mindset will assist in keeping the wealth.

Godly attitude is needed to overcome poverty

A man with a bad attitude will destroy his business. Humility, honesty, kindness, forgiveness must not be found wanting in life of a man. These virtues are more important than your chain of certificates.


Are there solutions to one of the most prevalent problem on earth?
Poverty?


I have to be honest with you. The solutions to poverty is highly complicated.

There are so many things to do because problems varies from person to person, place to place, community to community, town to town and village to village.

The first step to take is acknowledged that there is a problem and that you cannot save yourself. When the problem is highly complicated only God can save you.
First thing first, acknowledge that you have gone far away from God then humble yourself, go on your knees and be sorrowful for your wayward life, repent of any known sins and them surrender your life to Jesus Christ.
6. Now, the journey to destroy poverty begins

1. Matthew 6:33 " Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you"

Be kingdom addicted with undying love for the expansion of God's kingdom.
Matthew 22:37 " Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind"

Once you have the mindset of loving God with all your heart then it be easy for you give yourself or surrender everything to God.
Romans 12:1 " I beseech you therefore, brethren by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service"

2. Never be misled by some preachers that you don't need to pray for wealth that all you need to do is to give and that is all. No need to pray. Just give. This is a lie from the pit of hell.
Let's see Jabez in the Bible, Jabez prayed until he became and institution. This is Bible standard. Everything needs prayer. You cannot rule out prayer. Prayer is a necessity. It is the wealth of Poverty.
You need prayer to be blessed and also to keep the wealth.

What kind of prayer do you pray?
Prayer for self discovery. Who are you? Who am I? What am supposed to do? What is my purpose in life? This is very important because you may be doing the wrong thing now as I write. If you are supposed to be driver and you say you want to be a pastor. This is destiny diversion. Poverty number one.
7. Prayer to destroy unknown curses that might have been created by your great grandfather, grandfather and father. Great grandmother, grandmother and mother.
Psalm 11:3 if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
No matter how well read you are. No matter your level of education, you may even have PHD, but if there is an unbroken curse of " you will not prosper" in your father's house or mother's house. You can never be free from poverty. You will have money today, tommorow, you are broke. You will never have more than enough to the extent that you give out to people.

Next, what do you pray for? You pray to destroy evil covenant.

Pray for divine helpers. God should send helpers of destiny to you and connect you to them permanently. God should separate you from unfriendly friends bringing poverty into your life, they could be your closest friends. You may not know, you need to pray that God should open your eyes to see these people.

Pray for divine favor. God's favor to be on you and your handiwork.

Pray for open heaven. Your personal heaven should tear for abundance.

Pray for uncommon wisdom. Pray creative ideas

Pray for money magnetizing power.

Get prayer books from the nearest MFM bookshop or MFM Church. Don't just pray useless prayers. Pray targeted prayers.
8. Bad investment of your money. Never be deceived by any business you have not fasted and pray about. Don't be tempted to jump into an online marketing business or Facebook business you know nothing about. It could be a trap. Always seek counsel from experience people and ask questions why the business is not known by everyone. Ask why they are hiding it from people. Ask from these business men how many houses they have built. Most importantly, pray and seek the face of God if you want invest huge amount of money on any business, besides, make sure there is market for what you are investing your money on.


9. Your company of friends and the people you communicate with everyday will determine your prosperity. If you move with the people that are empty headed, empty heart, empty brain then the life will be empty. People that cannot think properly. All they know is to dress half naked. No vision. No purpose in life. NFA meaning no future ambition.

10. Knowledge about how to manage money to bring huge profit is very important.

11. Confessing the word of God daily. Joshua 1:8 the book of the law msut depart out your mouth. What you say is what you see and what you see is what you get.

12. Pray for the anointing of the holy Spirit. The anointing of God attracts wealth into your hands.

13. Doing your business with so much perfection to the extent that people have no choice except to come to you because of the way do their work and the way you treat them. 9.everyday, it goes a long way to reduce crime and poverty do.

Individuals, corporate organizations, service providers should come out with a plan to help people and reduce poverty in the land.

The Church too has a big role to play. The Church has been helping people a lot but they need to be more specific about their way of helping people.
For example, instead of building project, money can be invested in people. Say #200,000 for one converted prostitute or new convert to start a business. This is how money can help in establishing soul in the Lord.

MTN, Airtel, Glo, Etisalat are called upon to be more specific about helping people out of Poverty. Empower one man per month and follow him up. This will ultimately reduce poverty.

Free distribution of books or free education by the Government to help the less privilege is another way.
The Government can also pay unemployed graduate or jobless people some money to keep them away from crime. Crime rate will reduce and police will have less job to do. The great-grandfather of crime is poverty.

Stargirl2011:
Accept JESUS he said "I am the way, the truth and the life. He will forgive you. Just say d prayer And BELIEVE. Meditate on the book of John 3:16.

JESUS CHRIST SAID,

Matthew 11:28 " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST"

I hope the above post helps to debunk the reason why men of God bought private jet.

I got this information from Google
How I handled encounter with EFCC ove
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer (a.k.a. Daddy G.O.) of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), in Nigeria, has related his experience during his encounter with the officials of the country’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) sequel to his acquisition of a $65 million G550 luxury jet some years ago.

The revered Christian preacher confirmed the officials of the anti-graft regulatory agency came after him when he bought a private jet.

Adeboye relived the experience with the EFCC during a sermon at the Redemption City Friday through morning Saturday, January 7, 2023, at the Holy Ghost Service of the Church, tagged: “Wonderful”.

According to Adeboye, he returned to God for a solution when the agency’s operatives came to probe him over the ownership of a private jet, report said.

How provision of jet came about

Adeboye said at the time when the provision came for him to own a jet, there was much noise around this, and people were criticising him from all areas.

He recalled: “They sent EFCC to come and probe me.

“Where did he get the money to buy a jet?, etc. The noise was much.”

The renowned RCCG pastor said: “Then, one day, I was flying because I didn’t buy a jet for pleasure.

“The work (ministry) has expanded to the level that there is no way I can do it by commercial travelling.”

Sharing his travel experience and how a private jet became a necessity to his ministry, Pastor Adeboye said: “If you want to travel by commercial, you have to wait for their timetable.

“If I have to wait for their timetable, I won’t be able to do what God wants me to do.

“I mean to give you an example: I finished in our European Convention in Spain one night, 33 nations gathered together; as soon as I dismissed the programme around 12 midnight, I headed straight for the Airport to travel over to Hong Kong.”

He further recalled: “I arrived in Hong Kong the following day, did what I needed to do, and then moved on to Singapore.

“I arrived in Singapore, did what I needed to do and then headed for Australia.

“I got to Australia, did what I needed to do, I headed for Papua New Guinea.

“I needed to touch all those places, minister to them, dedicate the churches, ordain pastors and be back before the next Holy Ghost Service.”

Adeboye admitted that “there’s no way I can do that by commercial plane. That’s what led to the jet. The noise was great, and I was becoming a bit disturbed.”

What I did when EFCC operatives came

Speaking on what he did during the encounter with EFCC officials, the General Overseer said he asked God, saying: “Father, what do I do now?”

He stated that God answered him, as He told him, “Don’t answer them; I have you surrounded.”

Expatiating further on the issue, he stated: “One day, I was flying; it was during the day, far above the cloud. I just felt the Holy Spirit saying, ‘Look out of the window.’

“I looked out of the window and said, Lord, I can’t see anything. He said, ‘look down at the cloud and I saw a rainbow.’

“Now, normally a rainbow is an arc but this rainbow that I saw was a complete circle, and it was extremely big.”

Adeboye as well said: “I looked down into the centre of the rainbow, and I saw the shape of a plane.

“It looks as if the rainbow was moving, always keeping the plane in the middle.

“The Lord said to me, ‘Son, the shadow you see is the shadow of this your plane. I have you surrounded.’ ”

History of Adeboye’s $65 million luxury jet

It is recalled reports had said Pastor Adeboye took delivery of a $65million brand new Gulfstream jet 2015.

The sources familiar with his purchase of the new private aircraft disclosed that the arrival the luxury aircraft in Nigeria coincided with the pastor’s floating of a luxury jet company, ‘Emmanuel Aviation’.

Although the aviation company reportedly existed since 2009, it had just unveiled a Web site to announce its swanky fleet and aviation services, Sahara Reporters said.

Pastor Adeboye’s Gulfstream G550 luxury jet was manufactured 2013, in Savannah, Georgia State in the United States (US), but the G.O. took delivery of his private jet May 2015.

However, following the arrival of the US-registered jet in the West African country, N730EA Gulfstream G550, Pastor Adeboye reportedly jettisoned an older Gulfstream GIV with tail number N707EA that used to ferry him around the world on his preaching missions.

The leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God “personally owns” Emmanuel Aviation, for which the two jets are registered both in the US and Nigeria, report said.

An aviation expert was quoted to have explained that some Nigerian jet owners, like Pastor Adeboye, prefer registration of their jets in the US because such registration grants them generous landing rights worldwide.

Some contributions are top notch while others are not really addressing the issue as it ought to be.

Anyway, I thank everyone for their contributions.

As written in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.



Fear God and keep his commandments.

Issue 1: Why would a man of God buy private jet?

Issue 2: The Bible was written by some people.

Issue 3: They should sell the church buildings and use the money to build factory.

Issue 4: Chinese people are not religious yet they are better than us.

Issue 5: The men of God are the cause of the problem in Nigeria, they don't allow people to work, all they know is prayers, prayers, prayers and fasting.

Issue 6: The men of God establish universities to exploit the poor members, the universities can only be attended by rich church members, the poor people that paid the Tithe and offering cannot afford to go to the Church established universities.

Issue 7: What are they doing with the tithe and offering?

Issue 8: Nigeria Street is so full of many churches while there is no factory, no job.

Issue 9: All men of God in Nigeria are fake.

Issue 10: There is no God. Why is there so much suffering in the world if truly there is God?

Issue 11: Men of God should not move with any escorts because God can protect. Why are they moving with escorts if truly God can protect them?

Issue 12: Prayers cannot solve our problems, we have been praying all these years, yet nothing happened.




If you are Christian and you would like to contribute to these issues, it would be highly appreciated but if you are not a Christian, your opinion is not welcome because I have already raised the issues of what you have been saying all these years.

Thank you.

It is still the same case of Nigerians stealing from Nigerians.

Who is now to be blamed?

Sometimes we blame the Government instead of blaming our greedy selves.

God bless Nigeria.

Can anyone deny the truth that people abroad don't like to connect online with their various churches in Nigeria?

Who is to blame now when Nigerian citizens are stealing from Nigerian citizens?

Good for you but sometimes too much comfort may not always be the best option in life.

Congratulations 👏

Carefully examine your friends today, before it is too late.
