“Job the most blessed man in the East in his time will not touch what is not his own. That is a righteous man. So righteous that God could testify of him before the devil. A man who eschewed evil. He hated evil. I tell people ‘don’t go and steal and come to pay tithe in church'. Nobody needs that money; keep your money to yourself. Is the church crying? ‘If we don’t get this money, how are we going to help the project in the church?' Who is looking for such money? Before you were born, was project not running in church? Before you come to church, was project not running in church? God does not bless evil, neither does he pour water in basket with holes. God does not give increase to wasters, to thieves. A thief is a thief, whether you steal N1 billion or you steal N100,000.”
He added:
“We pray for this nation in particular, and for all other leaders, ‘don’t touch what is not your own'. Don’t use the sweat of people to take wine.”
