Charles-Philip Okiemute, a Nigerian preacher, claims that anyone with up to a million naira in their bank account on the day of the rapture will not enter paradise.
Okiemute made the accusations during a recent sermon at The Ark Of God Endtime Ministry in Lagos.
In an internet video, the preacher informed his congregation that earthly wealth is meaningless in heaven.
He also expressed disgust in an unnamed musician who spent N900 million on a fancy car, saying the money would have been enough to alleviate poverty in the musician’s village but he chose to spend it on himself.
He wondered if the singer would take the car to heaven.
The clergyman stated,
“I dey social media, one musician buy car of N900 million; for one car! And customised his plate number. So, I asked myself, ‘This car, you go drive am enter heaven?’
“They said Nigeria is poor and one musician in Nigeria used N900 million to buy car. That N900 million he fit carry enter him village, he go give all his village people. Their village no go poor until them die again.
“Any man wey get N1 million for him account before trumpet sound, you no dey go anywhere. Because that money is not useful in heaven or hell.”
