\nPastor Adefarsin of\u00a0House on the Rock Church was not listed and it was reported, he was not happy about this.<\/p>\n
It was reported by Forbes\u00a0he set out to prove his point to his church members at the 5-Star Eko Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos where he held this Sunday\u2019s service.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a billionaire and there is nothing anybody can do about it,\u201d he boasted. \u201cI have coached many billionaires and you know, the pastor of billionaires is a billionaire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe preacher of a billionaire can only be a billionaire because a monkey cannot give birth to a goat and a goat cannot follow a baboon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a preacher. I am a motivational speaker. I am a TV personality. I am a life coach. You can criticize me or slander me in the pages of newspapers but the blessings are in me and there is nothing anyone can do about it,\u201d he bragged. As a \u2018billionaire\u2019, he went ahead to give tips to his vast congregation who apparently are all dreaming of becoming billionaires.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo become a billionaire, Christians must simply imagine it, ask and realize that money, blessing and favour are already in them. All they need is to \u2018work out\u2019 what \u2018God has already worked in.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
I am not against pastors being rich but the way our Nigerian pastors behave when it comes to money seems to make money more important than things concerning the spiritual realm. Their attitude to money often brings Christianity to disrepute. It’s not for me to judge any pastor but some of their actions when it comes to money do not constitute a good shepherd like Jesus Christ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
