A lot of people talk very ignorantly, and sin without knowing it.

The works these General Overseers do are quite enormous. They have appointments, speaking engagements, meetings and other occasional urgencies in several nations each week. Sometimes, two appointments in two different nations in one day. They fly to Germany in the morning for a meeting and by evening are in the United Kingdom for a preaching engagement while also needing to rush back home same night to prepare for an important service on the morrow.

They're not getting jets for luxury but to enable them accomplish more, enjoy easier navigations around the world and prolong their lives in spite of their heavy schedules.

Owning a private jet as a pastor can indeed be seen as a significant use of church resources, raising questions about stewardship and priorities within the ministry. While it is understandable that pastors with global responsibilities like Pastor Adeboye or Bishop Oyedepo might find such a tool helpful for efficient travel, it's crucial to consider whether the expense aligns with the broader mission of serving others and advancing the gospel. The resources spent on a private jet could potentially fund numerous charitable projects, directly impacting the lives of those in need. Moreover, the perception of extravagance may risk alienating believers and the public, who might see it as contradictory to the message of humility and service. Ultimately, the decision should be carefully weighed, ensuring that it reflects the values of the church and serves the greatest good.

Two major temptations our top spiritual leaders face:

1. Sexual attraction with certain members of the congregation.

2. PRIDE

While it's not a sin and advantageous to own PJ as a means of transportation in propagating the gospel, it can lead to an unnecessarily inflated ego!

So if indeed they were God sent, the whole world would come to them which is of course convenient and restfull rather than they fly gloriously all over the world, living abundantly whereas, their suppises sheep are hungry, sick, homeless and jobless.

Neither Christ nor the disciples did this but of course thieves carrying bibles would not like to see their plans condemned.when Jesus was using monkey to preach d to sinner and telling them he is d son of God a about u for tell am make he still where he dey say dem go come meet am

TimiRume:
I believe we can use the fruits of God's grace, whether private jets or other forms of blessings as long as the purpose for which they are given are actualised, which is the preaching of Christ himself.

The problem comes in when there are too many expenditures, activities and programs with very little impact. I don't know if we realise our responsibility as the church, though the power is not of ourself, but we have a burden on us to disciple our members into the full knowledge and stature of Christ and to preach the gospel continuously to the lost. A lot of us seem to have lost sight of this vision and so what we churn out to the world are half baked christians or at best theologians who have no experience of the power of Christ in them.

Some unbelievers and even believers may be genuinely frustrated with the way the church appears to be operating and the powerlessness of so called professors.

But's what's our attitude towards these accusations and hard criticisms? I think we should see the permissive hand of God in these criticisms of the church and accept his chastisement instead of being quick to defend ourselves.

I believe until we have come to agree with God that Christ needs to be preached and allowed to live in us, God would continue to let the world knock the church. The world is in dire need of Christ but most of the church are more concerned about playing church and teaching every other thing but Christ, hence obstructing him.

What of one pastor that's using his private jet to launder dollars from one country to another. Despite there is availability of dunkeys during Jesus time, it was never recorded he moved with one except the one he borrowed during his triumphant to Jerusalem. Looking at the pride of some pastors in Nigeria, u will know that the private jets are not to propagate the kingdom of God but mainly to show off. Kindly look at the lifestyles of some of them and respond meaningfully.

Arrant nonsense, is any of their churches bigger than the catholic church globally? They don't even have 1% of the wealth of the catholic church yet the Pope doesn't use a private jet. The so called G.Os don't have to be every where to run their church empires, there is something called delegation amongst other administrative practices for running large organizations.

Well I disagree...people think because you owe a PJ you must fly everyday. Do we even remember what killed Goldie years back? It was Jetlag meaning she was flying too much within 2 weeks and less blood circulation within her feets and body. We've at one point of the other all witness numbness of feet's due to long distance travels how much more air travels everyday. No G.O. oversees all nations. They have national Presidents and there's also technology to give instructions. Meanwhile, it's even expensive to maintain jets that won't even increase in market value as they are liabilities.

I think you reason out of ignorance and gullibility of a sick society. Maybe the GOs of Nigerian churches are busier than the US president and have far more true gospel than Apostle Paul. Think deeply before you portray your thoughts in the public domain. These men are not true men of God but act as if they working for God while working for their bellies. The Muslim population is almost that of the Christians but please how many Imams own a private jet and display before own faces?

Thanks for this submission.
What you said is the truth.
Goldie'so case is the truth to reckon with.
I see no reason to justify having a PJ as a yardstick to meeting up acclaimed engagements as stated by some of us here.
One of the resultant effects as seen by the present day GOs is the issue of comparison with respect to their church attaining category of having a PJ defines their level of ministerial success while forgetting the fact that the cost of procurement of PJ and associated maintenance are well, enough to address other needs of the church, especially members that live below the poverty line.

So they don't understand delegation in management. They must be live in a location for God to hear them because he stopped being ubiquitous. Business leaders in all those other locations should be able to manage their business units (church branches) while the GO concentrates in the HQ. Most of the people tithing for the private jet and it's maintenance trekk to and from walk. May my brain not be messed up by a fellow man.

Sorry to mention you

Our lord Jesus Christ did travel to places to preach

On boats because at that time, boats were the only means to travel across the world

Now we have aeroplane

You and I know that flight can be canceled or delayed and stop over dey too etc...

If the members have the means to buy it,I see no reason for you that is not a member neither contributed 5kobo to complain...

If we talk about building schools that the members can't attend due to high fees

If a church with standards build a school, are they to employ average teachers or lecturers to teach, getting a qualified teacher to teach requires huge expenses, school itself needs finance to keep running,church itself needs finance to keep running because equipment for church go need replacing if damaged,chairs,speakers etc, light bills and fuel ... if they subsidize the school fees etc for only their members, how are they to know the members, will they be able to cater it for life abi na some members and leave the rest kind of treatment... meanwhile, most of this churches have primary and secondary schools which are being subsidized and y'all don't care to know that one because e no dey news

One thingni know about the internet is that it gives you what you need to hear to generate views,comments and likes because in this present part of the world, bad news sell faster, you need to use your own hands to promote the good things you do else none will notice it but if you do 1million good things and mistakenly do one bad thing, expect the bad to cover the good you did

Peace be unto you brother
