Do you believe in the Abrahamic order of blessing?
If you do, you will know that it's the Lord that blesses. Most pastors, whether in Nigeria here or abroad had a terrible beginning that no one would ever wish. Name them. Daddy Adeboye never wore a shoe throughout his secondary school days; Daddy Abiara almost called an angel of God a liar when he (the angel) showed him the map of the world when he was somewhere praying and God said (through the angel) that he would take him to everywhere he would see on that map; Dr Daniel Olukoya almost used a kettle to cook rice; Kenneth Hagin never knew that prosperity was meant for people in Christ; Frederick K. C Price said people thought it was a taboo for people in the church should get rich, Samuel O. Folahan (late) changed the feeding formula for his then twin babies all because there was no money to get baby foods; Daddy Oyedepo said he never minded starving to death because he was not ready to beg anybody for any amount of money (what does that mean)? What about Late Benson Idahosa, and many others like that.
God Almighty is the owner of wealth and prosperity and he gives them to people on earth. Many were paupers yesterday, yet big men today.
Oyedepo never cruises around in these jets. Hardly does he jet out of the country except on ministerial assignment. These jets are being used by missionaries who are always sent out on evangelism to foreign countries.
These men are blessed, yet they are not that extravagant like people portray them to be.

my bruder i respect Bischop Oyedepo alot and i even attended his church before i came acroos the truth with Jehovas Witnesses and i saw alot of differnt from the so called churches of nowadays,walking 17km is not a new thing since our lord Jesus Christ walk thousands of kilometer spreading the goodnews and winning soul 4 GOD likewise his disciples after he has gone and also did the same, today i can prof to u to any lenght that the witnesses are the most highest organization spreading the good news about Jesus christ and our heavenly father without any of them complaining the way u are doing so and going from house to house some even abandoning their work 2 reach out to peolple where they can get them from,they dont force contribution or tithe out of people the way the other churches does so u dont have to be afraid that u cant go the house of GOD to worship becos u dont have money to contribute.their Elders dont go about buying jet or flashy car 4 the ministries which is not neccessary,they give out their books and publications including bibles free to people unless u are willing to give into the boxes to show appreciation to GOD.so pls my bruder let us not say becos somebody have suffers in the past means that is an excuse for them.

First of all, I want to appreciate the way u responded to my comment; but I still have some things to point out in your response.
You said you attended his church; that was wrong?
Why? You may ask; no man on earth owns a church except Christ Jesus. There is no church, I mean the true church of Christ, that the planter will now say he is the owner. Christ is the owner of the church; he only commissions people to plant them and be like caretakers of the church.
If I may ask you, if God blesses you with millionstoday, don't you think you can give millions to any project that will preach the kingdom of that God? I have been blessed for quite number of times through the Watchtower Publications and so millions of people too have been (including those who do not belong to J.W). I do not need to be a member of A & A Glorious Chapel in order for me to be part of the Kingdom project that is happening there. My sister, with all those millions of Watchtower Publications issued out every month, people do give according to blessing God has blessed them with. They may not tell people to contribute but people will surely do because they know that they are using their resources to advance the kingdom of their God.
Again, though some church doctrines never believe in tithing, I don't think any true pastor will ever harass anybody for not paying tithe or offering. It's never done and anyone that does that is not practising the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Note that somebody provided the colt on which Christ rode to Jerusalem, somebody provided that 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes through which thousands were fed, somebody provided that expensive perfume that was rubbed on His feet, somebody provided that room where the Last Supper was eaten, some people were responsible for the financial help to the church at Jerusalem when they had financial challenges.
God blesses people, not for them alone, but to be a channel through which others will be blessed. People whom God has blessed do have to use the blessings God has given them for humanity and also for divinity.
And lastly, I am not saying that the fact people have suffered in times past now makes it a neccessity for them to be xtravagant. NO!!!
When a man serves the Lord, the Lord God in turn blesses him in return. You will agree with me that Christ died so that we can prosper. Prosper spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, financially. And like I said, these men of God people claim to be rich or xtravagant always have some things they do for humanity and also for God.
Oyedepo writes books, but never collects a dime from the proceeds the books he writes. As a pastor, he pays his own tithes too, give offerings too. The man also builds churches for some other denominations too, these things are done without anybody knowing it except the closest people. I will agree if you say people go to church or serve God because of financial gains (a sugar daddy approach to God) instead of serving Him with their total hearts whether they have anything or not. That is not what the Gospel teaches.
God bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I still wonder why some Nigerians can't argue objectively. What sense does it make, given the financial situation in Nigeria for a preacher to buy a private jet while there are other ways the money could be spent to the Glory of God. We often blame politicians for missusing our oil money, then what do we say about a preacher missusing church offerings and tithe. As an example, we have tons of primary and secondary schools that look like poultry farms. Ironically enough those parents that pays tithes and offerings at these church have their children in those schools. Will God be angry with this pastor if he makes it  part of his ministry to rebuild those schools as much as he can. God loves a cheerful giver does not apply to giving to churches alone, it also apply to giving back to the society too. It is foolish for anyone to say - oh he worked hard for it........, I beg to be excused because thats an absolute nonsense. Why will foreign ministration or any other ministry activity be a justifiable excuse for such a nonchalant and arrogant display of wealth. We are a society abandoned to our fate by the government, is there anything wrong if churches help in building back the society? Or could it be that the pastor and his croonies want their own reward here on earth because heavenly reward is taking too long? Or could it be that, private jetting is becoming the new standard in ministration? What could be the justification???
