Richest Churches & Pastors In The World by Entayali: 9:25am On Jan 25, 2022
BOOM �

RICHEST CHURCHES IN THE WORLD

1- Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints- $67.0 billion

2- Catholic Church - $30 billion +

3- Catholic Church Australia- $20.9 billion

4- Catholic Church Germany- $25.0 billion

5-Church of England $7.8 billion

6-Opus Dei (part of the Catholic Church) Italy- $2.8 billion

7-Church of Scientology- $2.0 billion

NOW OBSERVE THAT THERE IS NO

RCCG
Winners
Christ Embassy
Synagogue

No Pentecostal church at all

RICHEST PASTORS IN THE WORLD:
1 Bishop Oyedepo - $150 Million
2 Bishop TD Jakes - $147 Million
3 Pastor Chris Oyakhilome - $50 Million
4 Pastor Benny Hinn - $42 Million
5 Pastor Adeboye - $39 Million
6 Pastor Creflo Dollar - $27 Million (He used to be #1)
7 Pastor Kenneth Copeland - $25 Million
8 Evangelist Billy Graham - $25 Million
9 Prophet TB Joshua - $10 Million
10 Pastor Joseph Prince - $5 Million

Observe again that none of the 4 richest churches mentioned has their leaders on this list of the Richest Pastors.

The Pope is not there.
The Arch Bishop of Canterbury is not there.
The Bishop of Opus Dei is not there.
The Director of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is not there.

NOW OBSERVE AGAIN.

6 out of the 10 Richest Pastors are Africans, with their congregation being predominantly Africans.

4 out of the 10 richest Pastors have their churches in Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world, the 147th most corrupt nation of the world, the home to the second deadliest terrorist group, the most unsafe place to give birth to in the world.

Observe as well that the Richest Churches are situated in

1- USA
2- Vatican City
3- England

These are amongst the safest, less corrupt and most prosperous Nations.

What a Paradox!! Master Jesus Christ fed the multitude, but in Nigeria, the multitude feed the Men of God and General Overseers.

The Church in Nigeria is selfish.

The poor donates and the donations go for establishments onlybthe rich could afford.

The Nigerian Church is a business enterprise, building big church structures and doing nothing to alleviate poverty within their members.

Pastors are by right meant to be wealthy and comfortable, but the kind of wealth they possess, they gather wealth with greed.

A typical example is that of SCOAN T.B Joshua died and and their was chaos in his church.

With his wife leading the front line to take charge of the Church.

Forget politicians, the churches in Nigeria has the resources to come together and build a better nation, but corruption has eaten deep in the church too.

The church in Nigeria are run by greedy pastors e.g most pastors already have personal house, cars and business. Now instead of using the proceeds gotten from the church business (schools, hospital etc) built by members to at least better the lives of it's poor members, they would rather acquire more personal properties and cars and use the remaining to acquire lands for church building that will also be built by members
