List of Five richiest Pastors in Nigeria According to Forbes Rating

      List published on forbes website in recent past week  had attracted attention of many Nigerians and Africans  as they discovered that among the wealthiest in Nigeria are Pastors. The earlier list on the website contain Five richiest Pastors in Nigeria. 
   
     God is Good, all the time. Yes.  See it. Churches and ministries are now place of business. Pastors are no longer interested helping people achieve heaven they are only interested in their pocket. People want miracle, breakthrough, good jobs etc. rushing into the church they are trapped in the hands of these business pastors. This is not a place of judging neither am I here to judge others. NO! But let our Pastors rethink if they are on the right track.

             This is the list
  • Bishop David Oyedepo
Church: Living Faith World Outreach Ministry, a.k.a. Winners Chapel
Estimated net worth: $150 million
Faith Tabernacle host 3 services every sunday with   seating capacity of 50000
   
  • Chris Oyakhilome
Church: Believers’ Loveworld Ministries, a.k.a. Christ Embassy
Estimated net worth: $30 million-$50 million
Hosting not less than 40000 members


  • Temitope Joshua
Church: Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN)
Estimated net worth: $10 million-$15 million
Hosting close to 15000 members every sunday

  • Matthew Ashimolowo
Church: Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC)
Estimated net worth: $6 million-$10 million

  •  Chris Okotie
Church: Household of God Church
Estimated net worth: $3 million-$10 million
 Hosting 5000 members consisting of nollywood celebrities, musicians and ordinary members
     
My opinion is that our pastors should be servants of God whether rich or not. They should devote more in  helping people gain salvation which is what they have accepted as their call.
