Honorarium:An honorarium is an ex gratia payment made to a person for their services in a volunteer capacity or for services for which fees are not traditionally required. This is used by groups such as schools or sporting clubs to pay coaches for their costs. Another example includes the payment to a guest speaker at a conference to cover their travel, accommodation, or preparation time.

You are correct. But my understanding is that not only does Jakes have a se4t honorarium, but he also takes a percentage of the offerings.
I can understand someone in the music industry taking an honorarium, but just don't set right with me when a man puts a price tag on his preaching ministry. The gospel is for sale in my opinion when one does this.
