I’ll be the richest preacher of my time – Pastor Ibiyeomie

Pastor David Ibiyeomie, the founder of Salvation Ministries, has declared that he will be the richest and greatest man of God in his time.

The blunt, outspoken and fiery gospel preacher added that Christians should know God’s word and praise Him based on his unfailing promises to them.

Pastor Ibiyeomie has boasted that he will be the most successful preacher in his time just like his father was.

During a ministration in Port Harcourt on Sunday, October 3, Pastor Ibiyeomie admonished Christians to praise God not based on their current experiences but because of what he has said about them.

The cleric said he will end up rich and powerful like his father. He used the example of the patriarch Abraham in the Bible to urge his church members that although some of them have small beginnings, their latter end shall greatly increase.

The fiery pastor declared: “I will be the greatest and the richest preacher of my own time. My father in his own time was the richest. Me, I will be the richest in my time, though it may not look like that now but that is what I believe.”

Pastor Ibiyeomie builds brand new 100 per cent scholarship primary school in Port Harcourt.

Meanwhile, Ibiyeomie had built a brand new primary school where students were on a full scholarship. On Tuesday, February 2, the 58-year old pastor dedicated the school named Home of Success Academy. The school is an A-level primary school with all the basic amenities needed and a very conducive environment for learning. To be enrolled into the academic institution, students were expected to pass the entrance examination of the school.

Pastor Ibiyeomie is widely known for his positive contribution to his immediate society and beyond.

After completing his Bible School training at Bishop David Oyedepo’s Word of Faith Bible Institute (WOFBI), Ibiyeomie started a house fellowship with his family in Victoria Island, Lagos; he later moved to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he started Salvation Ministries (Glorious Chapel) on April 13, 1997, with a little over twenty members in attendance.

In July 1997, the church relocated to a larger plot of land. As of 2017, Salvation Ministries averages about 50,000 attendees every Sunday at its headquarters. In February 2011, Salvation Ministries started 14 satellite churches in one day, with all running five services each.
