Pastor David Ibiyeomie's controversial statement on giving and blessings sparks debate over biblical teachings and church practices.
Pastor David Ibiyeomie sparked controversy with his recent statement that "God does not bless you when you give to people who are not givers." The remark, made during a sermon, has drawn mixed reactions.
Some criticize the notion as contradictory to biblical teachings of generosity without conditions, citing Jesus' acts of feeding multitudes without checking their giving history. Others argue against using platforms to pressure people into giving. This debate reflects ongoing discussions on church practices and interpretations of charitable giving in religious communities.
