He said the arrangement was deliberate and spiritually significant, cautioning that those who ignore it do so at their own expense.

"If you don't take care of your pastor, you're the one who's going to suffer. It is your responsibility to care for them. That is how God has arranged it," he stated plainly.

The pastor framed his message as a reminder of a spiritual structure that many Christians overlook. He did not present it as a suggestion but as a principle he believes is embedded in how faith communities are meant to function.

His remarks echo a long-running debate within African Christian circles about the relationship between congregants and their pastors, particularly around financial support and material welfare.
