Jesus Hates People Who Are Poor – Pastor Ibiyeomie

The founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has claimed that Jesus Christ never associated with the poor while he was on earth.

The clergyman asserted that Jesus was at parallel with poverty, adding that he dislike poverty.

Ibiyeomie disclosed this while speaking with his congregation.

Pastor Ibiyeomie asserted that the death of Jesus Christ and resurrection were not only to bring salvation but also to free believers from poverty.

He argued that remaining in poverty after coming to Christ reflects a lack of spiritual understanding.

Ibiyeomie said, “Jesus never visited any poor person in his house, check your bible. That means he hates poverty. He visited Lazarus, they were not poor, they were giving him food.

“He visited a sinner, Zacchaeus, who was rich. Tell me one poor man Jesus entered his house. He hates poverty, that’s the meaning.

“He hates people who are poor. He died for you not to be poor. How can you now come to church with some kind of mentality?

“You can come poor but you’re not permitted to remain poor. There’s nothing wrong with you coming to Christ as a poor man, but it’s wrong for you to remain poor. It is wrong.”
