So here is the list of 2015 richest pastors in the ‘Godly Business’..Amazingly we have 5 out of the 10 world richest pastors from Nigeria, sadly we are still one of the most corrupt Countries in the World, whether the Church is a catalyst to its financial ruin is a question to be asked? Church is still the quickest way to get rich according to a Dragons den Nigerian candidate (sadly I agree).
oyedepoYou see African Christianity like the American Church is more a ‘prosperity gospel’, what you can get out of it financially, just like a gambler, this is ‘spiritual gambling’ you pay more to God’s pocket so HE can bless you more, bless you like the pastor who has a private jet, or bless you like the testimony giver, who built a 10 million dollar mansion in 1 month from zero savings.  Church is no more a ‘serving ministry’ but an ‘amass wealth’ ministry.Not one industry has been founded by these million dollar spiritual corporation, not one missionary free school or training institution has been set up by them.Are they really a Blessing to the Nation?…you will have to answer that!
