‘God doesn’t give people money’ – Daddy Freeze
Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze, has stated that people don’t need to serve or worship God to become rich.
Daddy Freeze stated this during an Instagram Live video on Wednesday night while reacting to Peller’s remarks at Pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s church in the UK.
DAILY POST reports that TikToker Peller had explained that while others were praying at night, he was sleeping at home, yet God decided to bless him.
Reacting to Peller’s comment, Daddy Freeze said wealth doesn’t necessarily depend on religious beliefs.
While noting that people don’t have to acknowledge God to be rich, he questioned why many committed Christians remain among the poorest.
He said, “When you try to connect worshipping God to possession, you take for granted the sacrifice of the biblical Stephen, when you believe that if you pray to God, He gives you money.
“It’s the stupidity of our parents. They prayed to God but did they have money? As long as you attribute money to God, you will remain poor and broke. God doesn’t give people money. If he did, the top 10 richest people in the world would have been born again Christians.”
While arguing that money comes from creating value, he added, “You can wake up everyday and say, I hate God, I hate God, I hate God, and still be rich. You don’t need to even acknowledge that God exists to be rich.”
