It is left for God to bless who he wants

He blesses some with talents
He blesses some with riches
He blesses some with longlife

Remember Abraham Isaac and Jacob were very rich
Paul the most hardworking of the apostles wasn't rich ....na tent he dey make
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob wasn't Christian neither Muslim.

Without cutting corners? No way.
If anyone come out and mention Oyedepo or Adeboye or Fufeyin or TB Joshua, it is amadioha that will strike that person dead!

I don't think that's the question the op asked here... it's not about being a good Christian title...

... it's about being a billionaire without hurting anyone along the way to the top.


A genuine Christian cannot be a billionaire.

There's too much poverty, hunger and class discrepancies in the world for someone who considers himself/herself an ethical genuine Christian to comfortably refer to themselves as a billionaire.

Wealth needs to be distributed.

The question is not BECOMING a billionaire

The question is what did Jesus say about billionaires going to heaven?

Exactly.

Papa Oyedepo and Chris are genuine Christian billionaires.

To be a pastor and a true Christian, u have to give up everything and follow Christ. Being a true Christian isn't as easy as it looks. No Pastor can be a billionaire.
None of Jesus's apostle were wealthy.

yes of course. my pastor in the church owns the biggest palm oil plantation in ogun state, he recently acquired a machine of around 88 million and gave testimony in the church about it and said ogun state government gave him some acres of land to boost palm oil production and in months time he could be talking of billions. this was around 2018. he inherited the buisiness from his dad.

its very possible.

Those good men are poor

There is a big difference between being a good man and knowing God. Being a good man doesn't mean you have those blessings that are reserved for His children.

He said ' no one comes to the father except through me'. He is the only key to those Abrahamic blessings.

Those that know their God shall be strong and do exploit.

Can a genuine Christian become a billionaire without cutting corners, engaging in shady deals, following the world system, selling his soul to the devil for wealth.

Remember we are not of this world and we must not crave for the things of this world. Even Satan tried to tempt Jesus saying if He bow to him, he will give him the kingdoms of this world but Jesus replied Satan with it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord your God and only him shall thou serve. (Luke 4:cool

We may claim there are Christian billionaires but you don't know how they got their wealth, you don't know whether they cut corners or engage in shady deals, corruption, cocaine business, kidnapping to acquire their wealth.
No Christian is poor, we OWN the world! It is our inheritance from Abraham. We are the children of Abraham and God gave Abraham the world as a reward for his obedience, faith and loyalty. Then the best part is we are joint-heirs with Jesus Christ the son of the Almighty God, and God gave Jesus the entire creation, everything that exists and doesn't exist, because of his obedience, faith and loyalty. So there is no poor Christian. If you see a Christian struggling with poverty it is a a temporal situation, and if you see the heathens and pagans boasting in their possessions, this is also temporary. Everyone on this earth is a tenant and whatever possessions they claim for themselves, they will surely in a matter of time lose it all and it will be returned to the real owners, who are the Christians. They are the only people that are not tenants in this world. They OWN it! Everything in this world belongs to the Christian. A Christian is more than a billionaire. A Christian is the possessor of all things, including ETERNAL LIFE! And when everything in this present old world fades away, the Christian will still be around for all eternity and the new world is his possession too. That's WHO a Christian is!

Re: Can A Genuine Christian Become A Billionaire? by Salt06(m): 9:48am On May 31, 2020
Of course,
If We could have several wealthy in the bible... Why not.
Bible says Job was the most righteous in the east yet the richest... (Job 1)
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob too and we're the children of Abraham through Christ by faith. Wealth is part of our inheritance as we apply the principles... Divine direction, righteousness, Hardwork, determination, charity, faith etc

There are two extremes in Christianity about wealth,the evangelicals who go on and on about prosperity and the conservatives who equate holiness to poverty and extreme modesty.
The right thing however is balance following the instruction to seek first God's kingdom in sincerity of purpose and not because you hope to get something.
Being a billionaire is usually borne out of creating value, monetizing the value created and being able to scale it several times.So anybody can be a billionaire including a Christian,but a Christian with no value to give the world can never become a billionaire but he can remain a dreamer.

He was the reason antitrust law was made. He had monopoly and in a court case after 444 witnesses and 12000 pages of testimony, his company was found culpable in kickbacks, political bribery, predatory pricing and when all failed, outright intimidation..

There goes your christian who went to church every sunday and donated to charity. Philanthropy and attending church services shouldn't be the hallmark of christianity.

Do you guys ever learn? It must always come down to money.

Affirmative. There are definitely Billionaire Christians just like we have Billionaire Atheist, Billionaire Muslims, Billionaire Buddhists, Billionaire Traditionalists, Billionaire Satanists. Wealth or riches or what have you is not exclusive to any Religion or tribe or culture. Wealth or riches only bow to the Law of value. Find a need and fill it to get paid.

All those Tithes this, offering that are also a way to transfer wealth from someone to another. Oyedepo and co uses Malachi as a bedrock for their riches. They say what people want to hear. They want to hear that God loves them, that God is happy with them, in exchange they get10 percent and other cash gifts. Same thing you pay when you go to cinemas, comedy shows. They provide services which you pay for.
