-Jesus Hates Poverty – Pastor David Ibiyeomie Discloses
The founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has claimed that Jesus Christ was at parallel with poverty.
According to the clergyman, he revealed Jesus Christ hates poverty and avoided close association with the poor.
Speaking to his congregation in a video which started trending on Sunday, he stated that Christ’s death and resurrection were not only to bring salvation but also to free believers from poverty.
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.”
