Salvation Ministries founder Pastor David Ibiyeomie has urged Christians to put their minds to work.
“You can’t come out of poverty by prayer and fasting. You only come out of poverty by thinking,” the Port-Harcout-based pastor said according to Church Gist.
“If you don’t know what you need to know, someone who knows it will rule over you. When your head is empty, your beauty and your handsomeness is useless.
“If you don’t use your mind, you are useless to society. An underdeveloped mind is a disaster.
“We are created to create. God wants you to be creative. That is why he didn’t finish creating everything from the beginning.
“The things of life are divinely coded, waiting for you to explore them through the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Ibiyeomie reportedly made the comments, Thursday, while preaching on ‘The Power of Mind Development’. The sermon was delivered during a convention titled ‘Upsurge: The End of Normal’.
The pastor urged his audience to invest in knowledge, be creative and be innovative.
“If you must have an upsurge, the mind has a role to play. That is why in any society mad people are not counted in census because the mad man has everything in him but the mind is off,” he said.
“They will count a man in a wheelchair who is handicapped but they will not count a mad man. What that means is that if you don’t use your mind you are useless to the society.”
