“Tithes And Offerings Cannot Buy Private Jet But Pastors Should Not Be Poor” – Pastor Blessing Agboli

Pastor (Mrs.) Blessing Agboli, has delved into the topic of Nigeria pastors owning private jets and expensive cars..

The wife of the General Overseer of The Victorious Army Ministries International, who refuted popular belief that most church leaders with private jets acquired them with tithes and offering, state this in Lagos yesterday while reacting to claims that church leaders were feeding fat on tithes and offering.

According to her, private jets are so expensive that it may take decades of saving tithes and offerings to buy them.

Agboli said;

“Offerings cannot buy private jets. You cannot just park a jet without making a business out of it.

“Owning a private jet is not a sin and those who have them should never be apologetic.

“I don’t think offerings can buy jets. I don’t think pastors also should apologise for making and spending money.

“That we are pastors does not mean we should be poor.’’

She, however, welcomed criticisms against ministers of the gospel, noting they were becoming rather sporadic and acidic these days.

According to her;

‘’Critics help you to be careful and manage your excesses. When they criticise us, they help us a lot. Not all criticisms are bad.’’
