Everyone of you condemning the usage of private jets in church ministries lack understanding. I also frowned at any clergy that use it for business, but I know some clergy men all due to the expansion of their ministries worldwide, it is this jets that take them all around the world including missionaries. I think the op is an atheist, an old fashioned that believe in old fangled. BC is different from AD. thanks.

Ah touch not my annoited and do my profet nothing. As if na only Africa the annoited dey.

I calld them fooools. They said Politicians and business men acquire private jets therefore pastors must have too. Where is the source of this money. I pity Africa as a whole. Their mindset is majority of the population's own enemy and will keep them in darkness for ever from the rest of the agile nd developed world. With these gullible multitudes , Africa will continue to forage and eat the leftover like food, clothes, cars, fridge and toothpick etc from the rational world.

With these vulnerable majority, Africa will never have access to good electricity and will never be industrialised even in the next 1000 years.

If the churches are not accountable and transparent wih the money collected from the vulnerables and instead spend it as their business return, what makes u think our politicians will ever see the need to use the public resources for the good of all when religions suppose to serve as the conscience of the entire people.

As a matter of comparisons, when i came here overseas as a student i faced the hardest financial challenge of my life. In the place churches have assistance centres for emergency relief for students all over the universities. Infact it's like a competition among churches as to who will expand this and touch lives more by extending the hand of God to them. I tell u, i have received close to 4000 here in study assistance from church alone. Thats like millions in naira currently. And they urge u to come back once u facing such again. This gesture is for all races who face any kind of financial hardship.

Most of the financial contributors may go to church ones or twice or no time a year. Because they feel God is the next person u see on the street. The pastors work elsewhere most times. Some have average cars others prefer to take trains.

Every financial sunday, a breakdown of the financial revenue and expenses are carried out professionally with the help of a projector. People pay offering once. Most churches do not even talk about tithe and doesn't exist most times.
And should d church not update members about the finances, they will be questioned by others or even be served a legal order. Most times u can best be certain the range of a car an average pastor has in his possession and most likely not more than 2.

This is a sane society where people question the rationale behind ideas. A pastor comes inside the church and says u are poor because u are not serving God well will look foolish to everyone here. People are objective.

I tell u, if the churches in Africa do the right thing, poverty will be reduced by 60 percent. Why people will help their dying next door neighbour before paying tithe and sowing stupid seed. We will not need outside aids. There will be no malnutrition in our boko something IDPs camps. They will see God physically. We will not even need red cross and others to help feed our own. Infact with only winners chapel, those children will be suffering from too much care and hospitality.

I call them foolllll again because Jesus would also said that if he was still here. Abeg too much post sorry (Okada abeg drop me here)

Elxandre:
America is not a third world country, so I don't care much about them having Jets.

CecyAdrian:
Hehehhehehehehehe, una weldon ooooo, so pastors flying commercial line now signal poverty ! May the Lord have mercy on us all.

When Jesus had that triumphant entry into Jerusalem, he BORROWED!!! It's not like he can not ask all the rich men who come to him for wise counsel to get it for him, ofcos they would have gladly done so, but Christ BORROWED the only flamboyant thing he used in the bible. Make una wise up small na

davoo203:
Yes, they do. The sincere ones that want to go global. Owning a private jet isn't bad if you can afford it and can also afford to maintain it.
Members who give tithe and offering do so willingly and some of these churches make provision for hospitality and welfare of the less privileged.
If i have 3000 churches around the world and i need to visit them once in a while and also hold services in my local church, there's nothing wrong with having a private jet. Provided i can afford it.

Omo I dey fear nairaland oooo?
The people turning away from religion and seeing it as scam and its faithfuls as deluded is increasing in power !

Toks2008,

I believe your point and the essence of the thread is that no NIGERIAN pastor should own a jet for his own pleasure even when he has the money; the money should rather put into charity...or maybe lent out to members who may need it for rent.

I share your opinion to some extent. Owning jets may be unnecessary for a pastor.

However, I want to hear your opinion on these issues:

1. What should be the reaction of a pastor if he receives a gift of a jet from his congregation, or from a member of his congregation?

2. What do you think about a church, owning a jet for the convenience of the Pastor and other people in authority of the church?

3. What's your opinion about a foreign preacher or pastor who owns a jet?

Thought you said you are married before??

I can see how you cunningly ignored the glaring examples I gave in the cases of Fadayomi of Redeemed, Babalola of CAC, Oral Roberts etc and you choose to stick with what feeds your ignorant and critical mind.

I wouldn't say anything about the case of Oyedepo, but I am quite sure it will be like the other examples given above. All you have typed above are assumptions from your vain and critical mind.

I'll advise you to be a bit liberal and open minded, Myles Munroe died recently, the management of the Church he founded is entirely out of his family, another man is now in charge of the church, jets and all other things that belongs to the Church.

Like I said, be open minded, it will do you a lot of good. Hating won't take you anywhere.

firstking01:
Hmmn, for once i gotta agree with toks2008 eventhough he's a divorcee.

rokiatu:
Who the fu...ck dump Ebube?

That's like dumping Beyonce for lil Kim.

SexyCeline:
Well functioning and yummy Mandingo.... Lolz

yinkslinks:
you will never see much people on this kind of post.

eyinjuege:
Your reason is still selfish whether you decide to stick to your vows or not.
You want to marry her to take your business to greater heights?
That's one of the commonest, most selfish reasons for marriage. What's the difference between that and marrying your child off to secure your political or financial dynasty? There's even no difference between that and those who marry for green card, because some are faithful to their vows.
You see a lot of the children of the rich or royalty marry each other without coercion for this same reasons, and of course they always intend to stay faithful.
The guys/women that marry others for money do so with the intention of staying faithful else they lose the butter for their bread.

Oh boy dis don happen to a 9ja babe's sister oh!

Ein bobo ex-babe came back and gunned her & the bobo down.

it was not funny

Xiadnat:
Is that so?? Interesting. Figures! You would know..... i guess this means you wont be asking or requiring any body to help, love and care for you for just because , right? One day, you will soon eat those words.


So, assuming i entertain the possibility of a future with you, it would be because of ?? Your physical attributes? Your questionable personality? Or your wealth? Cause i can tell ya right now, its none of that.


That said i disagree with the premise of this statement because there are still few but people out there who love purely and find themselves drawn to others for no explainable reason.

It exits. And i intend to find that kind of love and marriage cause it will be God ordained.

Bros we know this.

lagosrd:
So, the next time a friend comes to you and says “Dude, I am working on a part time business for additional income” and talks about such Multi Level Marketing schemes, explain these concepts to him on a piece of paper and advise him also to stay away from such schemes. Losing money is bad, losing friendship is worse and being part of a fraudulent system is the worst

falconey:
......So what should we do about it? Cus we know this.

Is like saying I told my dad I love him not because I really do but because he credited my account.

i love girls that are hardworking

FortuneTeller:
You have already exposed yourself. But I will keep to what I said, since you are avoiding my initial post of how I will handle things.

FortuneTeller:
Are you a dribbler? Read my post again. I specifically said I would ask the lady after Christmas so as not to cause unhappier in her life. You said you would post the chats and I requested you ask her permission before you do. Once you ask her permission, she will likely contact me or my hubby to let us know you are back at your tricks again. I made it clear I would not cause any pain in this woman's life before the holiday so why don't you understand? I noticed there is a new story about a nairalander in love with a Canadian who may be trying to scam him. How convenient the story appears after you have told your own about your Canadian love. You have already exposed yourself without realizing it. I don't have time for your rubbish.
