“Jesus Never Identified With The Poor, He Hates Poverty,’ Says Pastor David Ibiyeomie
The founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has asserted that Jesus Christ harbours a strong dislike for poverty and never associated closely with the poor during His earthly ministry.
Speaking to his congregation in a video which started trending on Sunday, Ibiyeomie claimed that, according to the scripture, Jesus never entered the home of a poor man, which he interpreted as a sign of divine disapproval of poverty.
The cleric further stated that Christ’s death and resurrection were not only to bring salvation but also to free believers from poverty.
He argued that remaining in poverty after coming to Christ reflects a lack of spiritual understanding.
Ibiyeomie said, “Jesus never visited any poor person in his house, check your bible. That means he hates poverty. He visited Lazarus, they were not poor, they were giving him food.
“He visited a sinner, Zacchaeus, who was rich. Tell me one poor man Jesus entered his house. He hates poverty, that’s the meaning. He hates people who are poor. He died for you not to be poor. How can you now come to church with some kind of mentality?
“You can come poor but you’re not permitted to remain poor. There’s nothing wrong with you coming to Christ as a poor man, but it’s wrong for you to remain poor. It is wrong.”
