Church leaders are exposed to temptations to profit because of their privileges. When church leaders give in to those temptations to profit from the privilege of leadership, it gives people reason to question their motives.

That notwithstanding, pastors can be appreciated with godly generosity by church members. With devotional exercises done to curb or reduce the prevalent level of lack of integrity and accountability not only in The Lutheran Church of Nigeria but also in other churches as well, leaders who are still involved in wielding authority selfishly-the exact opposite of practicing faith in Christ Jesus-are sure to mend their ways.
