Pastor Sunday Ogidigbo, preached about giving today in a serial message titled Wisdom for 2016, the Pastor of the HolyHill Church based in Abuja delivered a profound teaching on the subject of giving. Touching the subject of giving, the Pastor made a noteworthy remark, which may find hard for many to chew, he said that ‘it is better to give to the Poor than to give to your Pastor’. He also condemned those who give to others before taking care of family, describing it as an act of folly. Find below excepts from the sermon:

1. “The best time to give is when you don’t have” “Giving MUST begin at home”
2. It is easier to give to strangers. Some people spend all their salaries to impress others outside
3. If you’re rich and they can’t see the signs on your family, you’re a fool. How can you have relatives, you have money and you don’t give? Break the bank while your relatives are alive. Charity begins at home
4. Giving to people who cannot give you back, is a very fertile ground
5. The attitude with which you give is as important as the gift you give. Give cheerfully
6. If you go to church & they say empty your pocket, don’t do it. Nobody should manipulate you into giving. Give with a conviction. In giving, be systematic. Don’t be irrational
7. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares ~ Heb.13v2. Don’t let bad testimonials of encounters with strangers scare you from being kind to strangers ~
8. It is better to give to the poor than to your pastor
9. In giving to even your family, give what you can give while you build your capacity. 2 people in a well can’t help themselves
10. Be grateful that you can give. Your seed will speak for you in the day of trouble

Pastor Sunday Ogidigbo is the Senior Pastor of HolyHill Church out of Wuse II in Abuja.

This guy wants to spoil business for the Oyedepo's and co.

I fully support d pastor..



Its nt gud to call names @poster above

Give as your spirit man direct you,either your pastor or the poor

Well done bro... But i still choose to love Oyedepo... Don't ask me why- Because i said so.

Gud, at least now I know I have a friend. Pastors now digging deeper truth. I like your position and I stand with you on this.

Let not argue this:
Give as you are led.
You can give the poor but do not neglect to give the pastor. "He that giveth to the prophet in the name of the prophet shall receive a prophets reward" (Book of Matthew).

And we all knw that the heavenly reward of faithful servants of God is GREAT. And the bible says if you give them, you shall also receive a reward like the prophets.
Sho, we should be wise oooo

Must it be until a boy in suit says it before it sinks deep into people's minds? The poor should be prioritized over any religious belief.
