Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries has sparked controversy with his recent statement, warning members that worshiping online without giving offerings will lead to spiritual disconnection.
“Never worship online and not give offering, otherwise you’ll go offline,” Pastor Ibiyeomie stated.
According to the pastor, online worshippers who fail to support the ministry financially rịsk going “offline” spiritually. This statement has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the pastor’s stance on the importance of financial giving in relation to spiritual growth.
While some may see this as a call to support the ministry, others may view it as a transactional approach to faith. In contrast, Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s Open Heavens devotional emphasizes the importance of praising God and using one’s mouth to worship Him. This approach focuses on the spiritual aspects of worship, rather than the financial.
As the debate surrounding Pastor Ibiyeomie’s statement continues, it’s essential to consider the role of financial giving in spiritual growth and the importance of genuine worship.
