cThe Presiding Pastor of The Master’s Place International Church, Pastor Korede Komaiya, has said poverty is a sign of ungodliness.

Komaiya made this known while delivering a sermon to his congregation as seen in a viral video on social media.

According to the clergyman, it is written that those who obey and serve God will prosper in life.

“So, poverty is a sign of ungodliness. To be poor means there is sin in your life,” he added.

Further speaking, Komaiya pointed out that most people think it is those who are rich that usually have sin in their lives, adding that people should “never trust the holiness of a poor man.”

Giving reasons why poor people are usually believed to be humble, the clergyman made it clear that it is because they are limited in resources.

“You can’t carry a girlfriend, the resources are not there. You can’t go to Dubai, buy a house and keep a woman there; you don’t have the money. Anybody who has money and serves god is truly holy.

“If you want to know how humble and how godly somebody is, let them start having money.

“There are some of you with holiness that is poverty-imposed,” he said.

Jesus Christ. Na wa o

Yes but most you add more to it

I think he read his Bible upside down.

Well he might not be too far from the truth logically

He's very far from the truth bro. Since when did God start measuring closeness to Him by how much you have in your bank ?

"The race is not to the swift...

nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."

This verse reminds us that success and outcomes are not solely determined by our abilities, strength, or wisdom, but also by factors beyond our control, such as timing and circumstance!

That's not true cos na rich people sin cos there's nothing you can do to them.

It's easier for a camel to through the eye of the needle...

This pastor is biblically daft.

Lazarus must have been ungodly to be poor

Religion is a scam.

Hmmmmm. Poverty is worse than Cancer

Once they start making some money from "ministry" they start twisting sermons to condescend on struggling masses.

Another thief

Preach brother

1 Timothy 6:3-12 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses

Excellent response

Lol. You guys are the reason why most of these pastors feel like gods lol.

Poverty is definitely not a sign of ungodliness and riches is not a sign of godliness either. There must be a balance.

The bible does not what he's saying so this is just 🧢

Another warped reflection.

... who are these pastors ? where do they get these doctrines from ?

Komaiya?? What a name? So now closeness to God is measured by the wealth of a man? Senseless nitwit.
