– Gospel Singers Charge To Minister – Theophilus Sunday Weighs In
Nigerian gospel minister Theophilus Sunday has sparked fresh conversation within the Christian community after making a strong statement about charging money for ministry.
In a recent post shared on Instagram, the preacher drew a clear distinction between true spiritual service and personal branding, warning that placing a price on ministry could shift the focus away from representing God.
According to him, anyone who demands payment as a condition for ministering is no longer acting as a vessel for divine assignment but is instead representing themselves.

His remarks emphasized that ministry should remain a calling rooted in obedience and sacrifice, rather than a transactional engagement.
The statement quickly gained traction online, generating mixed reactions. While many believers supported his stance, agreeing that the gospel should not be commercialized, others argued that ministers, like professionals in other fields, deserve financial support for their time and effort, especially considering logistics, travel, and production costs involved in modern-day ministry.
