We should not be in competition with unbelievers. These people are only interested in what happens to them in this world but our goal is bigger!
ReplyDeleteThe people in this interview....i think they're members of the churches owned by the Pastors using the Jets...i mean the people saying it's good .
ReplyDeleteThe goal of the church this days is towards materialism and nt to win souls to christ and that's why u see boko haram killing them bcos God iniquity has separated them frm almighty God. Kidnappers abduct man of God and collect ransom. May God help us
ReplyDeleteMembers cannot afford three square meals. Pastor and his wife and children using private jet. Thiefin- thiefin jankoriko!
ReplyDeletei suport the pastors having private jets. they represent christ on earth. so its good so that people will know how rich is our God we serve a rich God not a poor one. if a memeber is poor he should work harder and pray that God will visit him not waiting for pastor or other rich church members to begin to feed him and having poor members should not stop the pastors from living big, afterall the bible says that we will always have the poor among us.
ReplyDeleteAre you for real, Jesus Christ did not even own a bike
DeleteAre you kidding me? Was there a bike in Jesus' time? Remember, the works of Jesus could not contain the bible you are reading now & you would not know all what he has or done during His period.
DeleteTo watch these hungry looking ppl say its okay for a Pastor to own a private jet shows u how they don't even realise their poverty situation!
ReplyDeleteHave they even been in a plane b4? Shame!
Jesus walked from place to place, he didn't ride or have a horse or fleet of horses. Only once Jesus rented a donkey not a horse which is a show of humility and he showed compassion to the poor, even the multitude that came to hear his preaching, he feed them. Jesus never lived like the Pharisees or Politician. If Christianity and the church follows the way of Jesus Christ then I guess we should live like Jesus especially the leaders.
ReplyDeleteIf Jesus was to live in our time, I don't think he would want or get a private jet.... That just ma opinion
Yes our God is rich but His Son Jesus Christ walked in humility and was there for the poor and the lost. How many of our pastors will carry their church members in this private jet to any where? With the present situation in our country should the focus be on acquiring private jet. Sincerely, private jet in itself might not be bad but is that what we need now? This is the end time and all that we can show is our pastors getting rich and the lost souls increasing daily because of the pressure to meet up. In the days of old, many brought all that they had and shared with others but now the greed to acquire and acquire is increasing everyday. Let God that truly know those who are His judge the matter.
ReplyDeleteIT IS WELL WITH US
ReplyDeleteEven if it necessary in their evangelism,my questions to these pastors are:Has poverty been reduced to 2% or 1% in their various churches? Where do dey get the money from? If it is in the church purse/account or donations from political officers holders,i think they are in the same shoes with those looting our great country.If you also look at the competition of owing universities by churches now compare to state owned i can tell you categorically that church owned are too exhorbitant.WHY? Are these people going astray?
ReplyDeleteI am not the one who called them, let them do whatever they like, as far as am concern, its all signs of end time, he that have ears let him hear what the spirit is saying to the church. If I may ask, when was the last time you read from the Book of Revelation......? Anyway, EVANGELISM- SOUL WINNING, CARE FOR THE FATHERLESS, WIDOWS, PRAY FOR THE NATION, BE A GOOD AMBASSADORS' OF CHRIST.
ReplyDeletethe lord is watching....I CANT JUDGE
ReplyDeleteIf it will make their work easier than they should have it. Wheather they buy it or not, the poor will not seize to exist
ReplyDeleteGETTING A GIFT OF A JET IS GOOD AFTER ALL, IT'S A GIFT..BUT IF I MAY ASK,HOW WILL THE PASTOR BE TAKING CARE OF MOST EXPENDITURES THAT ARE INVOLVED:LIKE AIRPOTS PARKING-SLOT BILLS,MONTHLY SALARIES OF THE PILOT,REGULAR MENTAINANCE BILLS ETC ? GOD IS FAITHFUL SHAA!HE THINKS FOR HIS CHILDREN.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with a pastor having a private jet.Its all about jeaousy,pooverty and bad bele that's making these people to condem the pastor.He need a reliable means of transportation to spread the word of God.May God bless d Pastor and give him energy to spread d gospel of the Lord.
ReplyDeletewhat i can say is that its only God almighty that can judge. but what am thinking about is the maintaince of the jet. where will the money that will be used to pay for the parking fees comes from?, money to be used in paying for landing fees anytime they landed in an international airport from?, where will the money that will be paid for the pilot and the engineer and the crew from?is the all going to come from the tithes and offerings of the church? i think if the money that is been used to buy the jet is used in constructing cheap low cost housings for the church members to pay at a cheaper rate will be better so that the church member will benefit and it will reduce the sufferings concerning housing
ReplyDeleteA postle paul said "with his hand he was able to meet his need and that of his brethen". WE all know that corruption, corrupt good manner. Look at the records of the those donating this private jet to the men of God. Some are even politician and bussiness people dealing with the Govt. And we all also know that politician and bussiness men dealing with the Govt. records are the worst.Who are taking more than 10 percent the priminister of pakistan is known for, mr 10 percent. We should not judge the men of God. we know what happen during the time of Aaron in the old testament.
ReplyDeleteMy piece of advice is dat, our pastors shld rememba in Bible, wen satan tempted Jesus Christ to bow 4 him in order to inherit all d kingdom of dis World but Jesus said “get away 4rm me“. All of us including Pastors, Imams & all religious leaders, shld sit down & search our minds, hw do we firmly erect & refuse 2 bow down 4 d will of satan thru its agents dat ar obviously known 2 U & I. (Meant 4 reasonable pple only) NURUDEEN KAZAURE.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! to Pastor Ayo Joseph Oritsejafor for this wonderful gift of Private jet. May the almighty God bless those members (Christians) who contributed and made it possible. This will at least fasten your journey as you minister around the world. Regards, Engr E. Nzete.
ReplyDeletePlease people, be carefull of what you say, because what you say will be used against you in the curt of law(HEAVEN). A.B
ReplyDeleteNO! Absolutely unnecessary!
ReplyDeleteIs this how low Nigeria has become , a moralless, corrupt and inept society. If what i saw in that clip is the future of that country, God help Nigeria. i cannot believe what i'm hearing from those poor gullible sights giving credibility to undeserving opulence and ostentation. A pastor flying about in private jets? Only in Nigeria will u see such nonsense. What business exactly is he doing that will afford him such prodigious opulence unless you are telling me church service is now a lucrative business. If thats the case, they must be taxed very heavily and must not be allowed to hide under charity camoflague. I think its time to go back to the Methodist, Anglican, CMS and Catholic churches.
ReplyDeleteHaving the jet is not the issue. Who pay the pilot, the maintanace of the jet and other fees associated with the operation?
