The 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.
