Bishop
Francis Wale Oke, president/founder of the Sword of the Spirit
Ministries has urged Christians to stop criticising pastors who own
private jets, describing jets as tools needed in evangelism.
Ministering at an Advanced Ministers’ Seminar at the National
Stadium, Lagos with a theme; “Anointing for Destiny”, Bishop Oke said:
“It is only in this part of the world that people make case out of
pastors having jets. In other places it is not so, because it is used
for evangelism.
“Don’t join others in bringing other ministers of God down but rather
go ahead and impart people’s lives because your own day is coming,” he
said, saying that ignorance is the major problem that makes Christians
poor.
According to him, all good things belong to the child of God and Christians are entitled to such benefits.
Bishop Oke, who is also the National vice president of Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, in charge of South West, told the ministers
of God that it is not a sin for one to get wealth as a Christian but it
becomes sin when such a minister starts worshipping material things more
than God who is the author of such blessing.
Quoting verses from the Holy Bible, Bishop Oke said poor living does
not glorify the name of God, noting; “there is glorious destiny,
glorious inheritance and glorious eternity in Christ Jesus.
“As a child of God you are not supposed to be poor, the only thing
that makes a child of God poor is ignorance, money is not evil it is the
love of money that is a sin,” he stated.
Bishop Oke intimated the ministers of God on the secrets of how to
tap their inheritance from God, urging them to be heaven-conscious,
adding that it is only a waste of destiny if one acquired all the good
things of this world and lose his soul.
The Mission Director, Ikorodu Region of Sword of the Spirit
Ministries, Pastor Paul Odejayi revealed that the ministerial seminar
was launched over three years ago as a non-denominational programme with
the vision of impacting ministers of God. [VN]
