cThe Presiding Pastor of The Master’s Place International Church, Pastor Korede Komaiya, has said poverty is a sign of ungodliness.

Komaiya made this known while delivering a sermon to his congregation as seen in a viral video on social media.

According to the clergyman, it is written that those who obey and serve God will prosper in life.

“So, poverty is a sign of ungodliness. To be poor means there is sin in your life,” he added.

Further speaking, Komaiya pointed out that most people think it is those who are rich that usually have sin in their lives, adding that people should “never trust the holiness of a poor man.”

Giving reasons why poor people are usually believed to be humble, the clergyman made it clear that it is because they are limited in resources.

“You can’t carry a girlfriend, the resources are not there. You can’t go to Dubai, buy a house and keep a woman there; you don’t have the money. Anybody who has money and serves god is truly holy.

“If you want to know how humble and how godly somebody is, let them start having money.

“There are some of you with holiness that is poverty-imposed,” he said.

Once they start making some money from "ministry" they start twisting sermons to condescend on struggling masses.

TimiRume:
1 Timothy 6:3-12 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses
