Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), has declared that while the devil fears prayers, he is not afraid of people who are poor.
Fatoyinbo made the statement while preaching to his congregation, emphasizing the importance of financial success alongside spiritual growth. He recounted a story of a man who went to preach the gospel but was chased away by another man who questioned his appearance, asking, “Has God helped you? Look at the way you look.”
The pastor used the anecdote to stress the importance of financial stability, stating, “The devil wants people to stay behind and just be making noise even though Jesus became poor for our sake that through the grace of God we might become rich.”
Fatoyinbo urged his members to strive for both spiritual and material prosperity, emphasizing that wealth can be a powerful tool for spreading the gospel effectively.
