Congratulations to Pastors T.B. Joshua and Enoch Adeboye on the purchase of their brand new $60-million Gulfstream luxury private jets – reported on two consecutive days by Sahara Reporters.
We are thankful to God for three unrelated reasons:
(1) This epidemic of Gulfstream jets in the Lord’s vineyard in Nigeria is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes for only by faith do we understand that (bi ko se pe Oluwa ba ko ile na) unless the Lord builds the house and buys the jets, we labour in vain.
(2) The extant presidential directive for determining the well-being of Nigerians is still to be found in Chapter One, Volume One of The Collected Thought of Goodluck Jonathan (Nairobi Publishers, 2014). This philosophy states that the well-being of the ordinary citizens of Nigeria is directly proportional to and dependent on the number of private jets accumulated by privileged Nigerians. Until our new President – himself a custodian of 12 presidential jets that he is using style to keep quiet about – tells us differently, we must celebrate all new additions to the private jet family in Nigeria.
(3) The American prosperity Pastor, Creflo Dollar, tried to buy this same Gulfstream jet recently to replace his old one. He launched an appeal to his followers to sow the seed. There was outcry and outrage and he was forced to cancel the appeal. He still hasn’t been able to buy that jet. Two Nigerian prosperity pastors have succeeded where a famous American prosperity pastor failed. The Nigerian pastors do not have two heads yet they succeeded and the American failed. This is a source of national pride. Ki se pe a fi n yo Creflo Dollar. A fi n gbe oruko Olorun wa ga ni. This is a great moment for Nigeria. We are not mocking Creflo Dollar, we are just using the instance of his own failed bid to highlight the favour that the Nigerian ministry has found in the eyes of God.
May God continue to bless your hustle and draw your miracle closer to you as you sow abundantly. IJN. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

An owner of church of all nations and a generous giver should use keke napep (marwa) to visit his churches worldwide. Writers na waoooooo!
ReplyDeleteNobody owns a church. It is Christ that builds a church.

DeleteTell them! Religion is no longer the opium of the masses rather it's the opium of Nigerians. Politicians use it as well on them.
ReplyDeleteImagine what benefits their respective church members would gain if $50m of the cost of the jets are used to help them with paying school tuitions and building subsidised accommodations for members to live in.Well it's written in the bible that "it shall be taken from the poor and given to the rich"
ReplyDeleteKeep quite if u don have what to say.the word of that this great men preaches is enough to change their situation more than d cash they would give them.poorverty is a choice.if any decided and made up his mind to be poorver that is his choice.read d bible d only change agent us.d word of God.it will produce what it talks about.no body has d ability to make u rich only.God does.deuteronomy. 8 v 18.God bless u
DeleteHow many Imams have private jets? How many Catholic and Anglican leaders have private jet? The touch not my anointed is overused, how about building clinics, schools, healthcare centres, helping internally displaced or orphanages. Nigerians are gullible .
ReplyDeleteD imams d catholic and apostolic pastors may be they don't kno what they have in christ.Dangote can buy a jet and its Ok but pastors that d owner of d whole commision to do his work should nt use private.between saving lives from.goin to hell and earning money to becomin d richest man.which one do u think is vrry important to God.?.don be part of those dad criticise men of God.let God judge them if truely what they r doin is wrong.be wise
DeleteSubsistence farming in your backyard is different from large scale farming of hectares of land. You do not need a tractor whether motorized or pulled by a cow for your backyard. BUT! you need one for the big farm. Therefore if the church board feels that the outreach has grown to the point of needing a jet, and they can afford it, i do not see why not.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing i do not support is if a Pastor unilaterally(without a board of at least 10 members) run the financial affairs of the church without transparency.
Remember the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem? He rode into town on the back of a camel. It was majestic. then he upturned the tables of money doublers who were making 'brisk business' in the Synagogue. Remember, too, what Jesus said in His famous camel parable: 'It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God'. Private jets don't fly to heaven. Prosperity preachers are not preaching the gospel according to Christ, but that which sows the seed of hate and paves the way to hell.
ReplyDeleteI like your point , but double check your bible history , am very sure the distinction ( of being the selected mode of transportation) does not belong to the camel family
DeleteIf u can't pay ur child's school fees,why give birth? Why now depend on d church for ur own problem. Ta lo koba e. Who do u? Am not directing this to anybody here but just saying. If he deserves it, hr deserves it
