I’m sure you’ve heard about Pastor Jerry Eze’s Foundation giving out $720,000 to 240 young entrepreneurs.
God bless him for that. I love and respect the man.
But here’s a lesson some churchgoers need to sit with.
When it was time to select who got the money, Pastor Jerry, the same man who preaches miracles and unmerited favor, hired KPMG, one of the world’s top consulting firms, to go through the applications and find the most qualified candidates.
The criteria did not include:
Who speaks in tongues the longest.
Who pays the highest tithes.
Who bought the oil of prosperity last Sunday.
Who fasted seven days for divine favor.
Who shouts “fire” the loudest during deliverance.
He hired KPMG. Not a prophet. Not an usher. Not his most loyal church member. A firm that evaluates business structure, financial records, turnover, industry viability, and legal registration.
Dedicated tongue-talker with no business records? Nothing for you.
Seed-sower who never structured a business? Nothing for you.
Because when real money is on the line, even the pastor plays by business rules.
This is not an attack on faith or those who are devoted to God. It is a call to start separating your devotion from your development. Your pastor is studying balance sheets while teaching you to sow seeds. Study what he does, not just what he says.
Businesses do not grow through tongues. They grow through structure, discipline, and strategy.
Separate your spirituality from your business principles. Both can coexist. But they are not the same tool.
