Unlike businesses, you don’t pay tax. You can do 1st collection, 2nd collection, even 10th collection, plus all the seed of faiths, tithes and pay ZERO Kobo in tax. This frees up some cash, to make some much needed acquisitions – for the church – like sleek cars, jets, mighty structures etc..
2. You get to fly in style all over the world
You get to fly in style, and why shouldn’t you? You’re spreading the word of the God, winning more souls for the almighty and you should be rewarded for it… who cares about poor, if Jesus was alive today, he would’ve upgraded his donkey for for a private jet so as to make his life more comfortable and his work easier.
3. Recession equals good business
When everyone else is suffering, what do they do? Turn to God and pray for more blessings (psalm 50:15 “Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.”). This means more money for your church. Your congregation will willingly give more in collections, if it means an answer to their prayers.
