Pastor David Ibiyeomie from Salvation Ministries recently issued a caution to members, emphasizing that they risk lingering in poverty if they receive payment for their services within the church.
According to Ibiyeomie, the act of receiving compensation for their contributions could halt the flow of blessings into their lives. This message was conveyed in a video circulating online and observed by IgbereTV on Wednesday.
Referring to a biblical passage, the clergyman underscored that the scriptural promise of blessings is tied to selfless service to God.
“You are beating drums and they pay you if you are hearing me from anywhere in the world and they pay you for rendering service, I can tell you, you will never come out of poverty.
“Thou shall serve the Lord your God and he shall bless your bread and water. So the moment you serve God and they pay you, the blessings stop.”
