The cleric stated categorically that neither he nor his family has had access to the church’s cheque book since the ministry began. According to him, proceeds from church materials, including CDs and books, are not used for personal needs.

“Some people will see a suit or a watch and say, ‘church money.’ That is mumu-ishness of sense,” he said.

He added that his needs were met through divine intervention and insisted he has no attachment to material possessions. He revealed that several items given to him as gifts, including shoes, have remained unused for years, while many others were given out.

“I gave out about 200-and-something suits in one day. Go, it’s enough,” he said.

He concluded by urging believers to abandon materialism and focus on spiritual realities.

“Let’s stop living for things and start living for God and the kingdom. When you do, the things people are chasing will start chasing you,” he said.
