“God No Be SportyBet”: Idahosa’s Timeless Warning Against ‘Prosperity Preaching’ Resurfaces

  • An old video of the legendary Nigerian clergyman Bishop Benson Idahosa talking about clergies abandoning the true essence of preaching the gospel has resurfaced
  • The video was dug up by Nigerians weeks after the founder of Power City International, Pastor Abel Damina, went on the Honest Bunch to slam “prosperity preaching” and its proponents
  • In the old video dug up, Bishop Idahosa spoke about prosperity preaching and called it “Lotto”, and pastors who engage in it, businessmen with clerical callings

Weeks after veteran clergyman Pastor Abel Damina started a significant conversation within Nigerian Christendom about prosperity preaching, Nigerians have dug up an old video of Bishop Benson Idahosa in which he shared his take.

In the old video, Bishop Idahosa discussed prosperity preaching and how it is utterly perverse to the true essence of Christianity.

Bishop Idahosa slammed that form of preaching while noting that once he starts vying in such a direction, he should also be castigated, as he was currently doing.

“Businessmen with clerical callings” – Bishop Idahosa speaks

The legendary clergyman noted that any preacher who goes on stage to demand money and says his congregation will get 100k back if 1k is given is nothing but a fraud.

He noted that such teachings on the altar are nothing but a pastor organising a lottery for his congregation.

Bishop Idahosa said anything remotely connected to prosperity preaching is hogwash and that the clergies associated with it should be avoided.
