I am all for entrepreneurial billionaires but totally against pulpit billionaires.
How exactly do they make the money people attribute to them?

I am a Christian who will never make sense of churches thriving in the midst of abject poverty,that is the aberration.
So the church should be poor because of the poverty around it.
Okay.

I understand you

But you forget that to be listed in the Forbes billionaire list , your total net worth at the current time is what is calculated.

So if you give all that you make from your business venture how then do you become a billionaire?

Don't also forget that this is a faith based question and it seems you have missed it.

By faith all Christians are billionaires because it is believe that actual wealth resides with God and not what you do.

Generous and kind He was an unscrupulous businessman. That's why the government had to forcefully break up his Standard Oil into what today became Exxon, Mobil, Chevron.

He had his faults but that does not wipe off his good deeds.
.
Do you know what it meant being a negro sympathizer in Jim Crow America and even attending their services? In the South in those days, blacks weren't allowed to use the same public toilets as white.

Yet, he congregated with them and even left large charity donations. That was very noble of him.

Nigeria may be corrupt and it looks like everybody is a criminal but there are still good men out there who are still steadfast.

What you wrote made me remember Elijah when he ran and hid under the rock from Jezebel. He said to God 'all your prophets have been killed, am the only one still alive who is yet to bow down to baal' . God told him ' you are not the only one left; there are still so many prophets who are yet to bow down to baal'.
Was a Elijah a billionaire? Was he stated to be very wealthy? Was he a Nigerian under an Evil govt? 99% of the rich ppl in Nigeria have ill-gotten wealth.. Either from politics, rituals, kidnapping, scam, prostitution, fraud... The remaining 1% r d ones only God knows he gave genuine wealth..

You have seen quite a number of genuine Christian billionaires in Nigeria? Wow! Please let us have some of the names if you don't mind, and also let us know how they got to become billionaires.
Alakija who happens to be the richest black woman is a christian got hers from investing in oil business.the chairperson of first bank Mrs ibukun awosika is a billionaire she started out with her firm producing plastic chairs and she is a christian that you can verge for and know that is pure money made out of business.I can tell you one of executive directors in Procterand gamble he is a billionaire and even a pastor while in Nigeria with christ life church.jumoke adenowo might not say she is one but on the toplist of forbes as an entrepreneur doing great she is an architect and has made major designs and international recognised one..quite a number who won't shout or make the noise yet they are rich through diligence hardwork,perseverance and ideas that makes the difference.

WRONG.
An enterprising mind will thrive even in the Sahara.
Pls don't give up and start making defeatist unsubstantiated commentary like you currently are.Nigeria is corrupt,yet has a lot of righteous people who genuinely have a heart for God.
Singapore and China were once written off but look at them today.When Nigeria's turn comes,entrepreneurs will become billionaires whether Christian ,Muslim or aborishas.

Of course there are a lot of people getting wealthy in Nigeria. These are mostly people who understand what Nigeria is and what it is not. They are definitely not genuine Christians. They are the wheelers and dealers. Mostly crooked and ruthless and ready to do anything to get the money. They are the people that run Nigeria. They understand that Nigeria is a criminal enterprise.
If you are one of those who see Nigeria as a normal society where hardwork and being upright pays, then you are naive and will have a hard time making it in Nigeria.

Being a Christian shouldn't prevent one from analysing.Why are there so many churches in Nigeria and so many unemployed.
Is God impressed by all these buildings some of which were once warehouses meant for factories?
Why is Nigeria so poor and yet so religious ?
Re: Can A Genuine Christian Become A Billionaire? by Commanderinpips: 11:44am On May 31, 2020
It is very possible as a Christian to become a trillionaire without cutting corners. Don't be mentally enslaved the power to make wealth belongs to THE ALMIGHTY GOD and HE gives it to his children.

At the moment, I am sure there is one or two investments you wish to do that is about an equivalent of your one month salary. You can't start it because you can't afford to drop the money. With a savings of 10% of your income, you will have that sum and can start the business after 10 months. Imagine repeating the system for 10 years of working? Your financial status would have exponentially changed.

It is possible unto him who believes.

Preaching to the choir. You guys need to be realistic and understand what your country Nigeria really is.

Abraham was a rich man, yet he was very righteous. Job was super rich, yet God bragged with Job's righteousness and the devil became jealous.

Any god that makes you poor is a useless god.

Were Abraham and Job Christians?
Re: Can A Genuine Christian Become A Billionaire? by Emmatech71(m): 11:45am On May 31, 2020
It is Possible for a genuine Christian to become a billionaire. Yes, it is possible.

The Bible says, I wish you above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth. It implies that it is the will of God for all his Children( genuine believers) to be rich.

Though, we all know that the love of money is the root of all evils, yea, it depends on how they now get there own money. A genuine believer can be rich without any illegal activities. It is possible.

So, in the book of proverbs, the Bible says Seeth thou a man, diligence in his business, he shall stand before Kings and not mean men. So, Diligence is the key.

I am Nigerian ,I live in Nigeria,I love God with all my heart and I can tell you poverty and I will never ever have a converging point.

Wow, behold a billionaire. You really sound like a typical Nigerian, always running away from reality. And you seem to be naive too.

You could also try out an online biz, that is KEN way of earning from outside the country while still being in the country. Main point is where there is a will, there is a way.

Only genuine Christians who enter into covenant with God become extremely rich. E.g are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Wealth only comes by covenant either with God or Devil. Hardwork can only make you comfortable.

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not Christians.

Jacob in the Bible, a trickster, outsmarted his Uncle yet GOD endorsed it.
Grace, Relationship, Faith, Understanding.

What did Jacob do to deserve favor, nothing. GOD just picked him, called him aside like HE did his Dad, Abraham and told Him he will favor him die.

Just follow me, be on my side. And he did, he didn't even do it perfectly, but the main thing was that his trust was always in GOD.

We talking about Christians.
