Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has justified his purchase of a private jet saying it is necessary for his work.
Mr. Adeboye, one of the most respected Christian leaders in Nigeria and the head of the Redeemed Church that has millions of members across 160 countries, stated this in an interview with global news channel, Aljazeera.
The pastor said “there are things you need,” to perform the task he does as the general overseer.
“When you have to oversee churches in 160 countries, you can’t do that on a bicycle,” he said in response to a specific question on whether he needed to have acquired a private jet.
Though considered unique in his simple appearance and un-flamboyant lifestyle, Mr. Adeboye is one of the increasing numbers of Pentecostal pastors that have acquired private jets, leading to condemnations by some Nigerians.
The other private jet acquiring pastors include David Oyedepo, the head of the Living Faith Church Worldwide; and Ayo Oritsejafor, the current President of the Christian Association of Nigeria.

THE ISSUE IS NOT PRIVATE JET. THE ISSUE IS TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL CONTEXT AS WELL AS WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. THE ONLY RESOURCE NEEDED TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD IS THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

@kingcalors (52),was there private Jet @the time of Jesus? Jesus used what was in vogue then to spread word of God. Eg Boat n Donkey.
OK...DID JESUS OWNED A BOAT? DID JESUS OWNED A DONKEY? OR DID HE COLLECT MONEY OR GATHERED MONEY FROM HIS FOLLOWERS TO BUY ONE OF THOSE? WHY DID JESUS NOT TELL HIS DISCIPLES TO GATHER MONEY FOR HIM SO THAT HE CAN BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION THEN,? WHICH IS HORSE'S AND CHARIOTS LIKE THE ONE THE ROMAN CHIEFS AND RULERS USE TO HELP HIM SPREAD HIS MINISTRY??..IM ASKING YOU DID HE?? IF YOU CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTIONS I WILL TRY AND AGREE WIT THE PURCHASE OF JETS ...IF NOT, THIS MEN OF GODS ARE NOT CHRIST LIKE..OR PROOF ME WRONG...I RESPECT TB JOSHUA FOR HIS HUMILITY,,,
