It is the opinion of Pastor David Ibiyeomie, Founder, Salvation Ministries, that anyone who allows a phone to ring in church is poor and has a poverty mentality.
Pastor Ibiyeomie, who spoke before a large gathering on Sunday during a sermon in his church, said such a vile attitude can never be found with a wealthy person.
He said, “anyone whose phone rings in church is a poor man; his thinking is poor. Rich people don’t switch on their phones in church because they don’t want anybody to disturb them.
“But poor people switch it on because they want alert; It is a sign of poverty. You will never see a wealthy man switch on his phone in church, he will say, ‘I want to hear something that will help improve my life’. But the poor will say, ‘make I see if somebody go send me money.’ It is a poverty mentality. You are in a church where the poor come and become wealthy.
