Ibiyomie noted that instead of taking from a senior man of God, it was better to sow to them.
He indicated that more blessings are received from sowing to a senior man of God than receiving from them.
His words:
"Can I tell you one raw truth? It may be hard, do I tell you? Never collect money from a senior man of God. You are reducing your blessing. I will be the last person in this world to collect a dime from Oyedepo. Not because challenges have not come, but that's not how it works. I can sow to senior me, they are senior men to me today. Are you getting what I'm saying now? But I will not go and say Pastor Femi can you just help me. No, it is not scriptural. Don't collect money from a senior man. You are reducing your prosperity. Sow into the senior man to draw virtue for the next level."
The short video shared on YouTube by Church Gist was also posted on X by different platforms and it got a lot of reactions.

Reactions to Pastor Ibiyeomie's sermon
@PrettyMfon said:
"Jesus said to Peter, feed my sheep not fleece my sheep. The Bible has stated it clearly that it is more blessed to give than receive. Pastors should give when they have. Members should not be the only one giving."
@Mazimum_ said:
"While the principle of sowing into your pastors is commendable, suggesting that receiving from them reduces blessings seems to overlook the essence of mutual support in faith. Even the Bible emphasizes giving and receiving as a shared act of love among believers (Philippians 4:15-19). Blessings are not diminished by receiving, but by withholding compassion and generosity."

"This can’t be what he said Abeg…..Reducing as in how no?"
@Emi_bibe said:
"Everybody with him own believe o. If you wish to believe him, who am I?"
@waxdigitals said:
"This so-called 'Man of God' continues to give Nigerians reasons to see through his deceitful tactics. Exploiting people in the name of God is unacceptable, especially in the 21st century when more people are awakening to such manipulative practices. You can’t keep brainwashing individuals and expect them not to eventually see the truth. Instead of giving money to these self-serving pastors, it’s far better to donate to orphanages or other genuine causes that directly help those in need. True blessings come from acts of kindness, not from funding the lavish lifestyles of fraudulent leaders."
