Private jets for Jesus.
 
Allegations of extravagant living among Nigeria's
Pentecostal preachers have deepened following
the gift of a private jet to the president
of the Christian Association of Nigeria.

The multi-million dollar jet—a 10-seater with
a range of 3,900 nautical miles—was presented
to Ayo Oritsejafor by members of his congregation,
Word of Life Bible Church in the oil-rich
Delta state city of Warri.

The gift celebrated the pastor's birthday
and his 40th anniversary in ministry.
Oritsejafor, who also serves as president
of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria,
joins a growing list of preachers with private
jets in the West African nation,
which is Africa's largest oil producer.

It's not like he can drive everywhere there. Now finding some place to land it might be a problem.

Seems to me that Nigerians could be doing something far better for themselves and for their country other than buying a jet for their leader.

I am sure the leader quoted Jesus as he received his offering, "The poor you have with you always..."

Shame on all those involved in this!

Wonder how many Nigerian bibles that airplane could have bought?

Back in 1982 I preached a message exposing the error of Christians having their own airplanes. This was perhaps at the height of the "prosperity movement". That same night a noted Christian Evangelist was flying in his plane and it crashed with fatalities including himself.

I know many Christians owning an airplane.
What's wrong with THAT?

The problem with Nigerian Bibles is the spelling!

Man those guys need spellcheck.

why wasn't this sold for more than 300 pence and given to the poor per Mark 14:5?

If we condemn extravagant life styles and opulence in Nigeria how about here in the US among preachers and churches? If it is wrong to have private jets and tailor made clothes in Nigeria and not feed the poor, why do we support clergy here and build large opulent church buildings and campuses here instead of feeding the poor?

How much is spent for salaries and perks for the hierarchy at a certain organization with headquarters in Missouri while missionaries here in the US and other countries work to support themselves and plant churches?

I am grateful that my church bought me a bicycle for pastor's appreciation. I have to supply all fuel for it...
