Notable preacher, Pastor David Ibiyeomie opines that Jesus never liked poor folk.
He made this known during a recent worship session with the members of his church.
The clergyman drew on biblical references to further his point on this, as he gave instances where Jesus only visited the wealthy.
Pastor David Ibiyeomie maintained that a Christian should not have a poor mentality, as Christ already died to ensure they are not impoverished.
He said in part …
“Jesus never visited any poor person in the house, read your bible. That means he hates poverty. Check, he visited Lazarus, they were not poor, they were giving him food. He visited a sinner called Zacchaeus who was rich; Tell me the one poor man Jesus entered his house; he hates poverty that what it means, he hates people who are poor. He died for you not to be poor, so how can you now coming to church have that kind of mentality. You can come poor, but you are not permitted to remain poor….”
