If you die poor they will blame you, if you suddenly start driving a Rolls Royce they will attack you. Choose one – Pastor Adebayo tells Christians

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), stated that clergymen and Christians should be held accountable if they die poor.

His remarks came in response to criticism over the gift of a Rolls Royce and N1 billion to Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church for his 70th birthday. Despite backlash from some Nigerians, Pastor Adeboye emphasized that it is preferable to die wealthy than in poverty.

Addressing his members in a video, Pastor Adeboye said: “Someone gave a bishop a car and some people got very upset that how can a bishop be driving a Rolls Royce? As if once you are a bishop you must die of hunger.

“Let me tell you my beloved children, if you die poor they will blame you; they will say after all these days of you serving God this is how you end? If you can’t pay your rent, they will say where is your God?

“If all of a sudden you start riding a Rolls Royce they will attack you, so which of the two do you choose? They are going to attack you anyway, whether you die of poverty or you live in abundance.”
