Pastor Ashimolowo asks members to sow $1k or N1k for every year lived on earth, Nigerians Reacts (WATCH VIDEO)

A shocking video which shows highly placed Nigerian pastor, Pastor Ashimolowo asking his members to pay $1000 or N1000 for every year each of them has lived on earth so they can receive blessings from what he calls ‘Seed of Glorious Expectation’ is currently making the rounds on social media.

Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo is the founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre KICC.

In the video now gone viral, Pastor Ashimolowo demanded in a church service that his members give what he described “the seed of Glorious expectation”, which is according to the number of years they have lived on earth.

The pastor said in the video:

“For every year you have lived on earth, I want you to give a N100… No sorry, a N1000 naira.

“If you have lived on earth for 35 years, you give N35,000. You have lived 60 years, you give N60,000.

“Those who are paying one thousand dollars to the left while those paying in naira to the right.

“Thousand dollars to the left, thousand naira to the right, those that are doing the both, to the middle.“Get out of your seats.”

Video was reposted by OAP Freeze who has always frowned at the ways pastors in Nigeria become super rich and live flamboyant lifestyles, while their members suffer to pay tithe and offerings.

Freeze’s caption read:

“Nigerians, their IQ of 67 and their men of God. Come and give a thousand dollars for every year you have lived?”

“Can you show me anywhere in the Bible where Jesus used this ‘fund raising’ approach? I remember 5 loaves and 2 fishes but 1000 dollars?”

The comment section of the post later gathered momentum with many expressing their shock and anger at such ‘method’ of fundraising by the popular pastor.

Someone commented: “Let’s see who will still defend this act, I’m waiting for that person…. so the Poor ones that don’t have 1k$ or Naira will go to hell abi ?”

“Wetin dey pain me pass be sey if you go to these Pastors for help, you won’t even gain access to them and when you eventually do, they will put you on a long thing.” another added.

“Instead of me to go to church. I swear make I die for beer parlour with my beer in my hand and go to hell fire.” another commented.

“Probably those ones who have dollars would stay in estate heaven and those ones with naira would just stay in pako heaven! SMH and the congregations are still busy making nonsense noise at the background when a man clearly wants to make you go bankrupt!”
