Next2Bezee:

That's how you will give tithe and daddy scam.o will say "Somebody will receive alert this night" and a lazy and hungry guy like man will shout amen.

I must go into this church business

Before you stand with him do well to read Matthew 23:23 . And check if Jesus condemned tithe or not

Damoxy:
Whats all of you problem Sef. Instead of praying make God butter your Bread. U dey blog Ontop Person Success.

God Let people BLOG on my Successes this 2018 o.

Unfortunately, you will unintentionally donate your impending success to these so called pastors in form of tithes and offering. Don't take it the hard way. Just plain fact

the annoying part of the story is that they will employ foreigners as pilots, they will not even employ there church members,

It was reported some time ago that the founder and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church also known as Winners' Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo who is among the richest pastors Africa - owns four private jets. This has not gone down well with Nigerians who never forget to bring up issue of extravagance and flamboyancy anytime they hear the name of the pastor or the church.

Writer and journalist Leke Beecroft, has revealed in details how private jets the church currently has. Read below;

DOES WINNERS’ CHAPEL OWN FOUR JETS?

The biggest criticism concerning the Church ownership of jets is that a particular Church, Winners’ Chapel owns four jets. Infact, the respected Forbes Magazine has quoted the same information severally. In an environment negatively disposed to the growth and prosperity of Churches, this is well understood. However, what is not understood is that falsehood can be bandied for so long without critics caring to crosscheck. It seems that as far as any information about the Church might seem to put her in bad light, critics would always be ready to shut their brains and put off their thinking caps to accept it. Knowing the leader of the Church in question however, Bishop Oyedepo, a man of great faith, would never insist that the Church does not have four jets; instead, he has prophesied that there would soon be at least 10 jets with parking for helicopters in addition and owned by worshippers; but what are the facts? How many jets does the Church actually own?

The first aircraft bought in 1996 for N100 million was an 8 seater HS (Hawker Sydney) 25 400B with registration 5N-WMA (World Mission Agency) for the propagation of the Gospel across the globe. On September 18, 1996, the aircraft was dedicated. Note that unlike the situation with Oduyemi of Bethel, a one branch Church, Winners’ Chapel had just launched her AGIP (African Gospel Invasion Program) 2 years earlier in 1994 with a vision to take Africa for Christ. Also, the Church was already holding her very hectic annual apostolic visits (it was on one of such hectic apostolic visits that Pastor (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo fell ill and almost lost her life) and the first trip of the aircraft in Nigeria was to Kaduna when Bishop Oyedepo ministered at the Garden of Faith in September 1996. I was privileged to be in that service as a teenager and by the next day, I was curious enough to join a Deacon in the Church to see the jet for myself at the Kaduna Airport. Like I said earlier, politicians travel on national campaigns once every 4 years using jets in Nigeria. For a Church undertaking annual missionary or apostolic visits, I saw every need for the use of an aircraft. Campaigning for Jesus round the country every year deserved the use of a jet.

In June 2004, a second aircraft was bought as a ‘replacement’ for the first one. The new aircraft was a HS 800A with registration 5N-PTL (Praise The Lord).

By August 2008, The Challenger 604 with registration N664D (Dominion), a newer and bigger aircraft was gotten at a good deal during the global recession. At this point, the Church had two jets, however, one of the oil majors in Nigeria had taken the HS 800A on lease and were thus paying for it at prevailing commercial rates until it was involved in a minor accident.

Plans to buy a GLEX (Global Express) were later discouraged by Pastor Kenneth Copeland according to Bishop Oyedepo and eventually the two aircraft were sold while the Church airline operators (Dominion Aviation Center) bought two aircraft in replacement; first a helicopter with registration-5N-BQY used for short trips to Landmark University Omu Aran in Kwara from Lagos or from Ota to the Lagos Airport and on a few occasions to Abuja etc. The helicopter has now been disposed of. The other aircraft which is the ONLY ONE in use presently is a Challenger 605 with registration N633WM (World Mission).

Basically and by design, as new ones came in, old ones were always sold out. The peak of foreign trips by the aircraft was between 2010 and 2013 due to the planting of thousands of Churches from 2010 in which the Church grew from 700 branches to over 6000.

''grew from 700 branches to over 6000"


That's how businesses grow.

Something is wrong when an acclaimed man of God has as much jets as a business man like Dangote

Poor man suffered from all angles. The poor man can not turn to government, can’t turn to church, banks are no go areas

God what is the fate of the poor man.?

Na baba Ijebu sure pass

Instead of these pastorpreneurs to be concerned about the things of God they will be thinking of how to acquire private jet with the church's money after if people start talking now they will say they are being persecuted

******
He's probably using the jets for mission purposes nah...Isn't it

Where on earth did he get such amount of money to buy private jets

Oh he does other businesses apart from being a 'pastor'...

I don't like talking about 'men of God' but would Jesus ve bought a private jet if he was on earth

It's a different thing when government officials acquire private jets,we might just tag them as criminals but what do we call pastors that tend to tow the same line

The government officials do not see us...they do not know what the ordinary man is going through but what about these pastors that come in contact with the hungry man, the needy,the poor at least once a week...He sees the suffering but still goes ahead to buy private jets...I do not think God is happy with such kind of people

Most pastors are trying to outshine the others these days...no difference between some of them and the so called politicians

so many jobless people in church...Lots of widows paying their tithe meanwhile the children of these pastors are schooling abroad living a good life

Jesus would have provided shelter for the poor....helped the needy...built factories to help church members get jobs

I don't know if God placed this pastors on earth for riches

Emusmithy and Co go and read James 1:27
Micah 6:8
This idea of private jet doesn't make sense to me

And nobody should quote me again....

you can't live long when u don't mind ur business

I reject it IJN and i return that statement back to you

How e tey concern me or anyone who is not winner's member. If they like, they can get 100 private jets. Their problem.

I wonder when Africans would begin to celebrate themselves, instead of a senseless bring-him-down-at-all-cost syndrome that myopic ones exibit towards fellow Africans. Statistics shows that most of the Money that he makes comes from abroad, tremendously increasing Nigerian's Forex. He overtook T.D. Jakes last year as the wealthiest black Pastor in the World, I celebrate You Sir. With the rate at which he's going, I'm sure he'll soon become the wealthiest Pastor in the World. Talk about a geniusly focused Man of unflinching great Vision. As a black African, you inspire me so much to think global and see the World as a conquarable territory. I'm very proud of your Sir.

haven't u read in ur Bible that the blessings if the Lord maketh rich and adds no sorrow, haven't u read in ur bible seeth thou a man diligent in his work, he shall stand before kings, haven't u read in ur bible if ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land...In summary, he is willing and obedient, he his diligent in what he does and because of this he is eating the good of the land and the blessing of the lord has made him what he is today...stop castigating some of these men of God. go close to some of these real men of God, they have a scar to show for it. they didn't get there by accident not to talk of even living on peoples tight...is just the blessing of God pursuing them any where they go...do u know the funniest thing? despite the social media propaganda, people have not stop pursuing these real men of God just to bless them and inturn things working out well for these pple...

slightlyMad:
What is a church even doing with 100million naira jet, deal or no deal. Build an hospital, help the needy, pay scholarships , just do something christ will do.

Stop seeing deals in private jets, be responsible with public donations.

The church has done these things, and is still doing so earnestly. It's just human nature to ignore the good, and focus on the perceived "bad"

Do you know of any Christian in apostolic days who inspired others by accumulation of material things?

Whether one or two jets, we need to introduce property taxes to curb wasteful life stye.

That guys plays god. He is a very smart guy. Mugus fall, guymen man chop. This is the only life we have,and if one choses to play the pauper or the king,so be it.

“ African gospel invasion program “ , lol ! Is it that there are no pastors in the countries he went to that can spread the gospel within their own borders ? Is it not the same biblical message ? Where are the charity institutions that this pastor should should have built with tithe money ? Where are the food kitchens , the free / reasonably priced schools for the poor etc ? But he can be buying jet to travel to preach the same gospel that pastors already preach in the countries he is going too ! He won’t go to Afghanistan and Iran - where the gospel he is preaching will be new to them and win souls for Christ !

My dear, it is a matter of choice, mindset and of course your purchasing power. If you see owning a private jet as flamboyance, then i want to tell you that some people see your owning a car as flamboyance too. Have you seen the way bike men gather round a car owner whenever there are arguments between them. Many support the bike man out of frustration and envy of the car owner.
Have you been in a public bus and the guy keeps stopping and picking passengers or delaying at will? Wouldn't you wish to be in your own car? Even at the airport, people are now fighting for seats, flights are cancelled etc.
My dear, it is a matter of choice. Do whatever fits and suites you. Pray and work hard to be blessed beyond Earth's Economy.

Ucheamani:

Acquiring things to aid your work shouldn't be condemned. Worshipping those is wrong.

Phone, telly, radio, clothes, cars etc are all material things but are acquired to serve us to make our lives better. That is how a church condemned telly but today they use it to propagate the gospel.
