GENERAL Overseer of Salvation Ministries, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, says those rendering services in church for money will hardly move up beyond the poverty line.
The fiery cleric averred that anyone who is paid for rendering service in the house of God will never come out of poverty.
He gave the damning verdict during a sermon in his church which was spotted in a viral video on social media.
Ibiyeomie specifically pointed at church drummers and other instrumentalists, stressing that getting paid for rendering such services will amount to poverty.
He said the blessing of someone could stop when they began collecting money from the Church, and such people would never get rich or rise above what they are being paid.
“Some churches pay members to beat the drums. That’s the reason they are doing it.
“If you are hearing me anywhere in the world and they pay you for rendering services in church, I tell you, you will never come out of poverty.
“Thou shall serve the Lord your God, and He shall bless your bread and water.
“So, the moment you serve God, and they pay you, the blessing stops. And the blessings of God maketh rich, so you will just remain at the level that they are paying you, and you will never rise.
“That is why you see drummers who receive money from Church never get rich,” he concluded.
