Amid the economic hardship in Nigeria, the Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, on Sunday, disclosed why dumped his high paying job in the United States, US, and returned to the country.
Pastor Giwa disclosed that his zeal to serve God made him dump his job in the US, which he said was paying him an equivalent of five million naira monthly.
Addressing his members in Akure, Ondo State, the clergyman said he opted to return to Nigeria to serve God despite intervention from his “white” boss after his resignation.
Cautioning that life is not all about wealth acquisition, the clergyman stressed the need for people to serve God.
Pastor Giwa said: “If you think the purpose of coming to this world is to acquire wealth, you have made a grievous mistake.
“The scripture tells us to serve God with all our hearts, our father Abraham gave everything he had to God and God blessed him in return.
“Are you ready to sacrifice your career for God? Are you ready to sacrifice your children for God?
“They thought was crazy when I told them at my job that I was resigning, the white people came to me and asked, are you sure you know what you are talking about? I said yes.
“They asked what happened to you? I responded nothing and what I want to do was to give my life to God, to be in his presence for 24 hours.
“If you compare how much I earned weekly, it’s more than five million naira. I ignored this things because I wanted to serve God and be in his presence.
“Where do you want to be when the trumpet sounds? Are you going to be complaining that because of my job.”
