The General Overseer of Awaiting the Second
Coming of Jesus Ministry in Akure, Ondo State,
Pastor Adewale Giwa, says according to the word
of God, pastors that own private jets and
otherworldly possession will not make heaven.
In an interview with The Sun, Adewale said
The poor cannot own a private jet, but the rich
can. It is unfortunate that the affected pastors
have ignored the word of God in 1 Timothy 6:7-10,
which says, “For we brought nothing into the
world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we
have food and clothing, we will be content with
that. Those who want to get rich fall into
temptation and a trap and into many foolish and
harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and
destruction. For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have
wandered from the faith and pierced themselves
with many grieves.
Those who own private jets have to sell them and
use the proceeds to support the poor. The biblical
passage about the “Rich and the Kingdom of God”
simply tells such pastors what to do. It will be
extremely difficult for pastors who gather
treasures on earth to make heaven.
The young rich man who came to meet Jesus in
Matthew Chapter 19 said he had fulfilled all the
commandments of God. But, Jesus replied him to
go sell his possessions to the poor so as to have
treasure in heaven. In verse 22, the young man
went away sad because he had great wealth.
Nobody is greater than the word of God. You can
never see them quoting this verse. Even if they
quote it, they might decide to twist it. To set the
record straight, it is not my opinion that the
pastors gathering wealth won’t make heaven, but
it is the word of God. These pastors do not only
have private jets, but also have private institutions
that the poor cannot afford.
Reacting to the comments made by some pastors
that their private jets help them move around so
they can preach the gospel, Adewale said
So, you are telling me that without private jets
they cannot preach the word of God. The most
effective evangelism is house-to-house, which
Apostle Paul practised in Acts 20:20. They should
take time and read it. Acquiring private jets is a
worldly thing that will perish with the world.
In Mathew 6:19-21, the Holy Bible says: “Do not
store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves
break in and steal. But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do
not destroy, and where thieves do not break in
and steal. For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also.”
