He noted that pastors who earn such an amount of money should be allowed to work, instead of doing full-time ministry.
Apostle Ayintete said men of God doing full-time ministry and earning such amounts should rethink their lives.
His words:
"You are employed as a pastor in a ministry, and they pay you N15,000, N20,000 as a full-time pastor. What are you doing there? And they don't allow you do any other work. Why? How can you be a full-time pastor collecting N15,000 and N20,000? Then later, you are going to claim that the church used you. You used yourself. You shouldn't be in a place where you are being paid that kind of ridiculous money. If they cannot pay you a substantial amount that can take care of your family and yourself at least, reasonably, then they should allow you to work. How can somebody say you cannot do any other thing, then pays you N15,000 and N20,000, and you are there. Rethink your life, because you don dey old."
