Have you visited “City of David” in Victoria Island? The redeemed Christian Church of God parish is one of the most fabulous and extravagant buildings in the city of Lagos. Pastor Adeboye, who is the General Overseer for the church and one of the richest pastors in Lagos recently declared that he is now richer than Bill Gates; widely acknowledged as the richest man in the world. He said: “I have houses in at least 188 countries in the world, where we have our churches, so I am richer than Bill Gates.

The common saying, ‘As poor as a church rat’ is fast losing its proverbial essence, given the assets churches and their pastors parade today. The business of religion for some, can be a very profitable profession to enter.

It might be argued that the reason why pastors are more likely to make money today is because they utilize more money making opportunities such as writing books, producing movies and speaking engagements. Some of which make enough to have private planes, refurbished arenas as churches and flourishing press houses.

There will be many who will say that these pastors shouldn’t be making this much money. This article is not to bash anyone, it is written to inspire you to dream bigger.
