No Pastor Should Earn Less Than 100k/month! GOs Should Allow Them Breathe! by Daejumong(m): 5:51am On Jun 02 |
General overseers need to treat local church pastors the way Jesus treated his disciples ! The average salary of a pastor in Nigeria is 30,000 to 40,000 Naira ( 30-40USD) a month! How can a pastor with a family survive on this? With the prevailing conditions in the country, GOs need to up their pay. These pastors are crying and unhappy ! Many of them work full time and don’t have any other source of income! These pastors have to also ensure that a large percentage of income generated in church through tithes and offerings are sent to the headquarters on a weekly basis! I have had some of these devoted pastors tell me how they feel sad that the headquarters takes almost everything and they have little or nothing to run their local churches! I find this preposterous, someone slaves away to build a local ministry and sends almost everything to the headquarters for the big boy at the top to live large with his family! GOs are not more important, special or better than any child of God. Gal 3: 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. The General overseers in the headquarters fly private jets, drive bulletproof luxury cars and live a life of luxury while the foot soldiers( pastors in local churches) wallow in poverty! Jesus was difficult to separate from his disciples because they had the same quality of life hence the need to have a Judas betray him when the time arose. I am looking forward to a time when it will be difficult to separate pastors of local branches from the GOs. A time when they will all wear same quality of suits, drive same quality of cars, have access to fly the private jets and also have same quality of life! That is when I will be convinced the GOs really want to be like Jesus! All in all, General overseers need to be more considerate and put less financial pressure on their pastor foot soldiers. They should also pay them decent salaries(minimum of 100k/mth and ensure the financial gap between them and their pastors is significantly narrowed! Mark 10:43-45 43 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many. Kindly share so this will get to the GOs! 39 Likes 3 Shares

If you people can just agree that church is a business and money making venture, nobody will complain. And how are you people claiming that the world is about to end and rapture will happen anytime soon but you're advocating for increase in pastors salary? 😂 146 Likes 15 Shares |

kingxsamz: Their focus should be on the RAPTURE. They are not following the teachings of Jesus. Jesus said they will do greater works than he has done. So like Jesus they should be able to command naira to come out of the mouth of an ATM fish to buy what they need. 26 Likes 2 Shares

When it's church issues una go raise muscles. The OP new that's the only way it can gain the unwarranted attentions is thru church shortcomings. Is Op a pastor, an RCCG worker, or a pastor child? When an issue from the church arise, una go raise eyebrows like say you're a good person from home. Na lie! Even a Muslim go join mouth but in their religion they'll call it a blasphemy. 8 Likes 1 Share |

While the call to improve the living conditions of local church pastors is understandable, it is essential to recognize that the congregation itself largely comprises individuals on minimum wage or even unemployed. The commercialization of worship, which should be free and dedicated to glorifying God, is fundamentally flawed and contradicts biblical teachings. Commercialization of Worship: The notion that pastors should live in luxury while their congregation struggles is antithetical to the spirit of Christianity. Worship should not be a means for financial gain but a pure expression of faith. Jesus himself condemned the commercialization of religion, as seen in Matthew 21:12-13, where he drove out the money changers from the temple, declaring, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers." Congregational Hardships: Many members of these congregations are barely surviving on meager incomes. With unemployment and poverty rampant, it is unjust to divert resources that could alleviate their suffering towards maintaining an opulent lifestyle for church leaders. The focus should be on serving the community, not on personal enrichment. Biblical Perspective on Leadership: True leadership in Christianity is about servitude, not luxury. Mark 10:43-45 emphasizes that those who wish to lead must become servants, following Jesus' example of humility and self-sacrifice. Similarly, 1 Peter 5:2-3 instructs leaders to shepherd their flock willingly and eagerly, not for selfish gain but as examples to the believers. Financial Accountability: General Overseers must ensure financial accountability and transparency. The significant disparity between the wealth of church leaders and the poverty of their congregations is a clear sign of misplaced priorities. James 5:1-5 warns against the hoarding of wealth and the exploitation of workers, highlighting that such actions are condemned by God. The focus should not be on increasing salaries to exorbitant levels but on ensuring fair compensation that reflects the economic realities of the congregation. Church leaders must embody the principles of humility, service, and selflessness that Jesus demonstrated, prioritizing the welfare of their flock over personal luxury. 9 Likes 6 Shares |

Hehehe. Church is just a business centre that depends on putting fear into gullible minds. They lie that God will punish you if you fail to give your money to them (pastors). They then gather the money and live large with their families at the detriment of the local pastors who they've put in charge of propagating their scam. Oh, I forgot that the pastors' rewards are in heaven. 11 Likes 1 Share |

You people just don't get tired of this agenda against church, pastors, GOs. It always come in one indirect for or another. First, church is not an industry and pastoring is not a job. It's not something you do to earn. Secondly, for pastors collecting salaries, you don't know what the arrangement is with the church. I have never seen pastors carrying placard protesting minimum wage. Why do you love taking panadol for another man's headache? And it's not like you care about the church or pastors... 4 Likes 1 Share |

When you look at the first church in the Bible, you will see that the enemy has really infiltrated the church. The early church sold all they had and distributed to the needy among them. And hence provided for themselves hidden heavenly bags that never failed in supply when they were in need. They "foolishly" trusted God's word to not save one's money or property but give to the needy and pile up treasures for oneself in heaven. This wisdom of giving beyond one's means to the poor and the work of God is foolishness to this world. For they say how can a man gain more from giving out his all? But we don't know how, yet God says so. We don't know how a seed sown in a woman's womb develops bones and becomes a full human, we don't know how the seeds we sow on our lands germinate into trees. Surely there is a mystery behind these things. Today, Christians don't believe this word. We may believe every other thing but this one. We are "wise" like the world when it comes to money and cannot understand how giving out everything we have, can erect a bank in heaven for us. Yet we are faced with other unexplained mysteries that we have accepted as natural. It's unbelief in this truth, that has led to ministries running like an enterprise. We live in fear like the world and don't trust God because our treasures are still saved here on earth with us. Cc: Julibet 8 Likes 2 Shares |

farouk2much: Because some people in ur religion have so many things to hide. When you dnt have anything to hide, you open urself for crictisizm. .....and that's why vast majority of Muslim faithfuls ready to do any atrocities to defend their faith.( Not even when more than 2/3 dnt even understand the religion and to make the matter worse, the religion leaders reluctant to allow the adherents to question the aspect that aren't clear to them) As a Christian,I crictisize my religion far more than others, whenever I see, religion leaders want to play the religion with my common sense. 3 Likes |
