The funny thing is that I never made an argument for poverty or that pastors should not have good cars or good houses. What I complained about is the wastefulness of private jets

The problem with you people is that you see someone challenging your rich pastors and you become wild animals and start calling others "poor£.

Lolz. U really should learn

Lemme with all humility state here that pastor adeboye of d rccg has only gotten 1 of the jets God promised him. God promised him 3 and none will be bought by his money or from the church's purse

He was awarded d 50th most infuential man in the world after which God told him he would be made d 1st influential man in his lifetime

There's no limit to d greatness that comes from being humble. In fact that's d reward of humility...to be exalted. God himself said it that he constantly resists d proud and exalts d humble

What then is d essense of being very humble, yet rejecting the reward in the name of 'I don't want ppl to say I am flamboyant bcus I have a jet'. Let them say..they'll always say and u will always rise.

The reason ppl like u hardly rise is cus u keep using ur accountancy or financial degree to probe what God can do..that's already pride and no exalting will come from it. Its dat humility that d world will call u mumu that God is after. If uve nt gotten there then uve not started. Besides do you even give or pay tithe at all? Talkless of knowing what d reward I'm talking about is like

Besides chariots and horses my dear are war vehicles. Jesus was riding through the city. Will ur armour brain tell u to use an armour tank in a residential community?

What is this one saying? Kings rode through towns in chariots and horses. Jesus was the King of Kings but chose to ride a donkey.

Chariots are not only for war.

Em can you kindly tell us who bought the jets for him? Since he didn't buy it with his money and the church's money.

@ OP, if you like list 100 Reasons Why Pastors Do Not Need Private Jets all I have to tell you is that " GO AND MAKE YOUR MONEY " and leave this men alone. If I have the money I will buy one for my Chief Imam too. We all need comfort. Both Prophet Isa/Jesus Christ ( PBUH ) and Prophet Mohammad ( PBUH ) laboured for us to enjoy. Jumat Mubaraq.

See you. Maybe u need be reminded; that u get likes and shares or make front page does not make u right.

You know within you that something might be right about people's argument abt ur post but cus uve made front page and wanna get likes and shares or just wanna win an argument has veiled ur mind to d truth.

Even upon knowing that not all jet-owning pastors are purely of God what do wanna do now...lead a protest to seize their jet or what?

That a person serves under the 'pastor' title shouldn't make it a taboo to be wealthy. Some of these men of God don't even collect salaries from d church. Some depend only on d lifechanging books they've written and many of them are philantropists on personal levels. In fact the true men of God are supposed to be d 1st beneficiary of serving God according to God's standard. Genuine anointing is one of d bible approved means for wealth.

But God's word said 'Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

If ur ways please the Lord, he will bless u so much u won't even know how to keep it. He blessed Abraham so much d world heard abt it..and we're still hearing abt it 2day.

So my dear. Don't be an obstacle to ur own unlimited greatness. In short stop limiting urself.

Imagine. If religion isn't ur way then u don't have the right to criticize it cuz u don't even have adequate knowledge about it.

If ure asked abt ur religion now u'll say ure a xtain. But if ure asked how xtainity started in ur country, ur knowledge of it is nil. Who pioneered xtainity in ur country-nil. What was d financial status of d church when xtainity started in ur country-nil. How has churches reached out to d less privileged whose needs are supposed to be met by ur government-nil. How has religion influenced the masses against same sex marriage-nil. Yet u criticize what u have a very minute knowledge of.

D glutonous politicians that eat up ur rightful funds and buy jet with it gets u hailing them when they make loud promises that they end up not fulfilling. Lol you got tired knowing that criticizing politicians never yield results in naija, u re now turning ur aggression to pastors without revering the true ones among them.

If u need help from a church, why not go to popular newspapers and ask for their support without shame knowing that u need their help rather than criticizing them on NL that some influential people don't know. U re just funny.

I dont understand why you bring up corrupt politicians who have private jets when defending your private jet pastor. It seems that you are somehow realising that some of these pastors are the same caliber of people with the politicians.

Lol. Wastage of money and materialistic vanity..who do them the most? My dear go and criticize ur nation's leaders and politicians and get results first. That will be worthwhile and justifying, b4 u now switch to religion area which u said is not ur way or u know nothing about.

Besides they say the best form of revenge in life is to make successful wealth. When u become wealthy enough to own over a jet and u refuse to own one; then ur argument becomes sensible and exemplary action and not just this empty ranting of words ure making. Cuz its ppl like this who make mouth abt financial integrity but when u bcome just a common counsellor ur mouth will zip up cuz of smallsmall change.

All these epistles you have been typing since day one won't change the facts!

Only billionaires (not millionaires) can truly afford private jets. The only way to be a billionaire is to run a business that sells a lot of its goods or services.

What business are these pastors doing that make them rich? HMMM? What services or products are they selling?




That aside, private jet is an unnecessary luxury. You can achieve the same thing with commercial flights at a cheaper and more effective rate.

What an effortless success anointing brings for you. But I'm sure u don't even know what's so-called so don't bother using human brain to fathom what God can do. A pastor builds 2 private universities well run with ease and provides job for the masses. How many politicians have business or are worth billions yet own jets.

U knw what. I won't even view ur next quote talkless of replying it. Ure not doing God's or human bidding. U just wanna prime ur ego. You know that within urself. I was 1ce like u. God has helped me now. The scripture below is 4 ppl like u.

[b] 1 Corinthians 9New International Version (NIV)
Paul’s Rights as an Apostle

9 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? 2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

3 This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me. 4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink? 5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas[a]? 6 Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?

7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? 8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[b] Is it about oxen that God is concerned? 10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?

But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

15 But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast. 16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.
Paul’s Use of His Freedom

19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
The Need for Self-Discipline

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Paul understood that people should eat from where they work, and it applies to men of God as well.

But he didn't want to! Reason being, he didn't want people judging him (just like we're doing now) and also wanted to be able to boast about not being-fended-for by anyone.

Our pastors don't mind the judgement and the pork nosing and definitely won't refuse a luxurious gift.

Now, does that make them sinners in the sense that we're not? Does that make them lesser than actual men of God? Does it mean they're thieves? Or, they've lost the right path in the race? And who are we to judge another persons servant?

Have we stopped to ask how that affects the church directly and indirectly (if at all it does affect the church) and if really it is a problem or a sin, what are the church members doing to cup the situation?

Have we forgotten Christianity is personal (it's your relationship with your maker) not where some particular dogmas (that have our personal interest) are held above human life; and/or where a way of life is expected from everyone like we're robots that can't think for ourselves.

Or just maybe, that archaic stereotypical mentality of "to be a Christian means not to enjoy the good things of life" - that was a pleasant way of saying it, this is more like it; "to be a Christian means being poor" is still functioning in our systems

His Name is Pastor Marcus Gill. He is all over Facebook posting about prosperity and his private jet! Lord hep us all!

Imortal001:
Yes O, the greatest question is, where are they getting all this money to buy private jet? because i know that their salary plus anything cannot afford them private jet..
Our pastor's and politicians this days, are the most corrupt people in our society.

Not all the pastors are corrupt sir, true men of God are still in existence

[quote author=AllNaijaBlogger post=38123178]With owning private jets being the new trend for Nigerian pastors at the moment, I keep wondering whether Jesus would agree to have one if He were in the shoes of these same pastors today. Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Bishop David Oyedepo, Enoch Adeboye and Pastor T.B. Joshua are Nigerian pastors reported to have private jets.

As a christian who believes a lot in humility, I disagree with the ownership of such luxurious vessels in the name of evangelism. Here are the reasons why I feel that private jets are not necessary for christian leaders;


1) Diplomats and International business executives manage travelling a lot without it; there are many jobs that require a lot of travel such as being a diplomat or an international aid worker or a top level executive of an international firm. A lot of people travel frequently and globally as part of their job without the aid of a private jet and so, why can’t pastors do the same? Some of the rich business executives probably travel more than these pastors. Even the pope doesn’t own a private jet, and he is responsible for all catholic churches across the world! Honestly, it is hard to muster up an excuse for a pastor’s private jet when even the pope doesn’t own one.


2) Private jets actually hamper evangelism by consuming more time, effort and money than a commercial flight; The time and effort needed to maintain a private jet and keep it running is ridiculous when one considers the fact that a commercial flight is a far cheaper and less tedious service to use for global evangelism. As a private jet owner, you will have to think about numerous issues such as the pilot’s fees and demands, the scheduling of the maintenance or repairs of the plane, and also the international restrictions/laws regarding the flight of the private jet. This means that a private jet owner will have less time to think about preaching the word of God because of all the time and effort spent on the private jet’s issues. A first class commercial flight will only involve buying your ticket online, checking in and then going early for your flight- isn’t that just easier?


3) Jesus rode on donkeys and not on chariots; horses and chariots were the highest level of transport in biblical times but Jesus chose to humbly enter the city of Jerusalem with a donkey in what we know as the triumphal entry in the New Testament. Conversely, we have pastors riding on the highest levels of transports in the form of private jets that reeks of the very materialism that Jesus speaks against in Matthew 6;24.


4) Private jets are bad for the Nigerian economy; private jets and planes in general are not manufactured in Nigeria and so, a lot of the repairs and maintenance will require importation of labour and spare parts from countries like the USA or Canada. This also means that lot of transactions will be done in thousands of Dollars, rather than our local Naira. One can imagine the exorbitant cost to the Nigerian private jet owner if he or she has to pay the pilots, technicians and mechanics in Dollars given that the exchange rate doesn’t favour the Naira. Should a church really contribute to this leakage to our economy?


5) Private jets do not help the image of Nigerian leaders; one has to consider the bad image our Nigerian leaders have in the eyes of the foreign press- flamboyant and corrupt people who care little for the suffering of their impoverished masses. A pastor owning a private jet worth millions of dollars while many of his church members struggle to survive everyday is not going to help such an image. Whatever happened to the John the Baptist type of preachers who lived a chaste life not corrupted by the illusions of vanity? I think some of our religious leaders should learn from Jose Mujica, a man who chose a simple life despite wielding so much power and influence as the president of Uruguay.

At least for Pastors that have branches in oversees, it's still OK just to avoid que, because waiting for commercial flight at times can be a time wastag
