According to Salvation Ministries’ Pastor David Ibiyeomie, the reason people have a hard time every January is that they don’t put their money into God’s kingdom.
In a recent sermon, Pastor Ibiyeomie made this statement on how difficult January is since many were unable to participate in God’s kingdom throughout the Christmas season by paying tithes and offerings.
The minister commented on Sunday’s sermon that some churchgoers get caught up in Christmas spending and neglect their monetary responsibilities.
He claims that some people pray to their landlords to not let them renew their rent after they spend all their money on the season, but he stresses that this practice is not biblical.
“January is always the longest month for many people, because if they pay you before Christmas and they give you Christmas bonus and then before the new year you have spent everything, without even investing in the Kingdom, most of you will not pay Tithe, you feel this time no way, I have shoes to buy, I have hair to buy, I have clothes to buy.
“No problem while you’re buying them also remember that by January, landlord will give you bill, the children will give you school fees, you can’t bind your landlord, even if you bind him, I lose him.
“It is unscriptural to bind your landlord when he built his own house for goodness’ sake, why are you binding a man, do you think he built the house for you to live for free, those are not scriptural prayers, it is against the scripture, pay your rent.
“Don’t speak in tongues and say have stroke, why will the man have stroke, why will your landlord have stroke, what did he do to you that you want him to have stroke and then you say he is not born again?
That’s why you now start quoting scripture that has no meaning,” Ibiyeomie said.
