“When are these prayers and fasting going to start working? The pastors are buying private jets, while poverty among members worsens.”
“Pastor at my church just bought a private jet with offering money… I feel heartbroken.”
Another user snapped:
“Megachurch culture in Nigeria is unbelievable… pastors buy jets, build schools, avoid taxes by registering assets under churches.”
🤔 Is It Biblical? Or Bottom-Line Preaching?
These revelations have sparked two major debates:
-
Spiritual hypocrisy: Critics argue that churches meant to serve the poor have instead enriched their leaders.
-
Prosperity gospel defense: Supporters say global ministries need private jets to manage operations—“when you oversee churches in 160 countries, you can’t use a bicycle,” says Adeboye
💥 Eye‑Opening Takeaway
While some of these pastors claim their private jets serve ministry purposes, believers question if faith-funded luxury is taking Nigeria backwards. As poverty looms, watching pastors flaunt multimillion-dollar lifestyles only fans the flames of outrage.
Do these men of God deserve private jets? Or have they veered off the biblical path?
