Collecting Money from a Senior Man of God Reduces Your Blessing Because It’s Not Scriptural – David Ibiyeomie [Video]

Renowned Nigerian pastor and televangelist, David Ibiyeomie, has sparked discussions within Christian circles with his recent assertion that collecting money from a senior man of God diminishes blessings, as it goes against biblical principles.

While addressing his congregation during a sermon at the Salvation Ministries headquarters in Port Harcourt, Ibiyeomie emphasized the importance of maintaining reverence and honor for spiritual authorities. He cautioned against the practice of receiving money or material gifts from senior ministers, suggesting that doing so could hinder divine blessings.

“It is not scriptural to collect money from a senior man of God. When you do so, you inadvertently reduce your blessings. The Bible encourages honor and respect for spiritual leaders, not the other way around,” he stated.

The pastor explained that the principle of honor dictates that blessings flow downward, from those in higher spiritual authority to their subordinates. According to him, receiving material wealth from a senior man of God could disrupt this flow, resulting in diminished spiritual rewards.

Ibiyeomie urged believers to focus on giving rather than receiving from their spiritual leaders, emphasizing that generosity towards them attracts favor from God. He cited examples from the Bible where individuals received supernatural blessings through acts of honor and sacrifice towards prophets and spiritual mentors.

The statement has since sparked mixed reactions among Christians and on social media platforms. While many of his followers applauded the teaching as a revelation of biblical truth, others questioned its scriptural basis, calling for further clarity.

David Ibiyeomie remains a prominent voice in Nigeria’s Christian community, known for his bold teachings and emphasis on scriptural principles. His message serves as a reminder for Christians to reflect on their practices concerning honor, giving, and the relationship with their spiritual leaders.
