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

ThatFairGuy:

You must be an ordained Christian, explain this to me please

ThothHermes:
This is a big lie. There are principles guiding wealth and prosperity from the Bible. There is an exactitude to genuine wealth with terms attached. In fact, one of terms is that you do away with financial misconduct of any kind.
Job 22: 23-24

Bishop Oyedepo, Pastor Chris, Pastor Ibiyeomie and others know and practice these principles that's why they are so rich. There's a covenant of wealth for interested believers.
Deuteronomy 8:18.

uruba23:

Why not, most Rich people I know are quite geniune with their religion.Infact making money is a spiritual exercise,you need divine wisdom to navigate the murky waters of business.Remember Peter he was fishing all day,sweating it out until Master Jesus appears at the scene.Even Africa Richest man still
wakes up at 5am to pray ,goes on Sabattical on his Yacht to fast for days,little wonder he is one of God's favorite pikin.

Adex2442:
Why not??

Look at king Solomon,

Good to hear that no Christian is poor. Does that mean that there are no Christians in Nigeria. Nigeria is at least 40% Christian. Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. Do you want to tell us that all those millions of poor folks in Nigeria are non Christians?

executive12:


If you "do away with financial misconduct of any kind", you obviously cannot become wealthy in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a criminal enterprise.

It will be interesting to know how much tax the above billionaires you mentioned are paying every year.

ThothHermes:
It's what failed people say to justify their inability to get things done. Keep consoling yourself.
Is there any law requiring people to pay taxes on cash gifts?

If you pray for a sick man for example and he gets healed and comes back to reward you with say 10 million naira, would you have to pay taxes on the money

SOJOSEPH:
Abraham was a friend of God and was the richest even during famine. He eventually made the heaven according to Bible

lekki1444:
of course. Solomon. but this wealth will not be acquired through business because to acquire that kind of money through business requires dedication and time which a genuine christian will never dedicate time like that to money. such wealth will be acquired through wealth transfer from GOD through someone else on earth

kushe:


Even though I don't agree with sis executive,I disagree with you.
Which prayer are they bringing 10 million for?
Freely give for freely you have received.

Uyi168:
....
Not with churches like deeper life and co that glorify poverty..

kushe:

I can see you came prepared for this thread.
Are you a genuine Christian?
If you are,by your own theory it is impossible for you to become a billionaire except you live abroad which makes it even worse.

LaJoe2:


Yes! And the man freely gave his 10m. It wasn't upon request or under duress.
It's now the prerogative of the receiver to accept or not.
No one has the right to question how he or she should spend their money

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

executive12:


Was John D. Rockefeller a genuine Christian? He was one of the 'Robber Barons'.

In the developed world, a genuine Christian can become a billionaire, of course. One very useful invention can make you a billionaire without having to cut corners. Many examples abound.
Not so in Nigeria, a huge criminal enterprise. In fact, my observation is that you cannot really go about your daily activities in Nigeria without cutting corners. It's just not possible. Corruption is basically a way of life in Nigeria. Visit a government office, money must change hands.
I read on this forum, how an employed lady proudly announced that she is dropping her unemployed boyfriend because the boyfriend failed to give her money for her birthday. Anything you do in Nigeria, money must change hands. Yet some of you believe that someone can become a billionaire in Nigeria without cutting corners. Yeah right.
Just to drive around, you have to give bribe here and there. Just that you may not regard what you are doing as bribe in order not to feel bad.
A typical Nigerian likes to live in denial. We have a very hypocritical and insincere society. You guys can continue deceiving yourselves and living in denial.
As to your question about whether I am a genuine Christian and if I believe it is impossible for me to become a billionaire then.
Of course I am a genuine Christian, obviously a pragmatist, definitely not a hypocrite and never in denial (unlike you). Unlike you, I'm not too naive to believe I can become wealthy in Nigeria without cutting corners. So I don't limit my horizon to the criminal enterprise we call a country.

Men of old like Abraham were rich, yet they serve God.

There is no crime been rich as long it’s legit

Muyiwaipere:
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
