How Giving God ₦5,000 Brought Me ₦25,000 & Foodstuff — Pastor Ibiyeomie

ICYMI: How giving God N5,000 brought me N25,000, foodstuff— Pastor Ibiyeomie

The presiding pastor of Salvation Ministries, David Ibiyeomie, has said that giving God his salary of N5000 in 1997 led to a chain of miracles.

The televangelist stated this in a video he posted on Instagram on May 28, 2024.

In the video, Ibiyeomie, who was standing behind the pulpit, claimed that his wife had asked him to give her his N5,000 salary, so she could go to the market.

He alleged that he later heard God saying he should give Him the money instead, and he obeyed.

He added that an hour after he ‘gave the N5,000 to God’, he got a gift of N25,000, a bag of rice, beans, and a crate of eggs from an unknown woman.

Recalling the incident, he said, “My wife told me she wanted to go to the market in 1997, and my salary was N5,000.”

“She said to me upstairs, ‘My husband, we have to go to the market’, and, I said to her, ‘I am coming’. But, I heard God say to me, ‘Give me the N5,000. That’s madness!

“Nobody will give you money physically. Your wife said she wanted to go to the market, and that day, you earned your salary, with no other money elsewhere. And, God said, ‘Give me’? You need faith. You can hear God but without faith, it won’t produce.”

The Port Harcourt, Rivers State-based pastor added, “Then, I took the N5,000 and dropped it as a sacrifice. In less than one hour, a woman said God spoke to her, that there was a pastor in town, that she should take N25000, pack a bag of rice, a bag of beans, a crate of eggs, everything in her kitchen, and give to that man of God. She drove down and dropped everything without even meeting me.”

Ibiyeomie added that the woman’s husband later gave her some money. He said, “The same day her husband— a very stingy man— who had never given her N100,000 before gave her N1m, after which he got a job in Abuja.”

Meanwhile, there have been diverse reactions to Ibiyeomie’s claims.

A social media user, clifofoboss, wrote, “Format in which you can take all that someone has.”

Zonaempire wrote, “The same God that told Pastor Sam Adeyemi to relocate to US, abi?”

Apparently in agreement with Ibiyeomie’s statement, temi. dayo_ and dj_joeteee responded, “Acting in faith”, and “Papa, I love you.”

On his part, Awojideamos stated, “Giving! Giving!! Giving!!! Can we discuss something else please?”

prettiesttiana asked, “Please How do I know it is the voice of God speaking to me?”
