Doctor William Folohunso Kumuyi, has advised Christians to budget parts of their offerings to to help the poor and unemployed in their communities.
Kumuyi, who made the statement in a video that has gone viral, was heard telling his church congregation that Christians should not spend all their money on building churches but also help their poor neighbours who can’t afford basic life needs.
Kumuyi narrated how a preacher had instructed his members to give monies meant for offering to the poor and unemployed people around them.
Recall that a controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze had rebuked some Nigerian pastors over their ostentatious lifestyle while their members lived in abject poverty.
Kumuyi noted that it is good to build the church but while building, Christians must remember their neighbours dying of hunger.
He said, “Look at all this offering we’re collecting. This church has silver and gold.
“I learned of a preacher somewhere who was having their church service. And he said, ‘Now we’re going to collect the offering. If you have N10,000, N20,000, or N50,000, raise your hand, and they will be faithful’.
