Popular Man of God and the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Prophet Kayode Abiara has said that the controversy trailing the acquisition of private jets by clerics in the country was immaterial, saying that it is not a sin to accept gifts.
According to him, “If I am given an aircraft as a gift, I cannot reject it,” Abiara avowed.
The cleric said this while speaking on the church’s planned prayer session billed for Odo Owa, Kwara State on Wed-Friday next week .
He maintained that those who have been condemning the purported extravagant lifestyle of some Christian leaders in the country were spiritually blind to the scriptures.
He said, “Christians need to understand that the scripture supports receiving gifts. Having a jet or a helicopter, for example, will greatly advance the work of God. It is good for christendom.” On the crisis rocking the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the prophet said that it was not true that it had become “too friendly” with the government.
Hear him, “As Christian leaders, we do our duty by giving advice to the government whenever we can. That does not mean CAN has become an arm of government.
“Because we do not say something bad about the government all the time does not mean we are compromised in any way. I do not collect any money from any government official.”
