Pastor Ezekiel of New Life Church has recently made headlines for claiming that he makes Ksh. 20 million every week through offerings and tithes. His church, which has a capacity of over 60,000 people, is one of the largest in the country, and he also owns a television channel.

Moreover, he is currently building international schools, hotels, and other amenities in his Kilifi, Mavueni 1000 acres next to his church.

While some may find it hard to believe that a single pastor can make such a significant amount of money every week, the fact that Pastor Ezekiel owns a television channel and is building large-scale developments near his church suggests that he may indeed be as financially successful as he claims to be.

Pastor Ezekiel also sells miracle living water at Ksh. 100 per bottle , in a single day he says he can sell over 2000 bottles that translates to over Ksh. 20,000. Other spiritual services that he allegedly sells includes blessings , which are sold in terms of Ksh. 5,000, Ksh. 10,000, Ksh. 15,000 upwards. Many Kenyans travel all the way from Lodwar to go and buy their so called “Nyota”.

However, the question of whether or not such wealth is ethical for a religious leader to accumulate is a complicated one. While some may argue that it is perfectly acceptable for a pastor to become wealthy through their ministry, others may view this kind of wealth accumulation as morally questionable.

On the one hand, many religious leaders argue that accumulating wealth is a sign of God’s blessings and favor. They may point to biblical stories of wealthy figures such as Solomon or Job, who were blessed by God with great wealth and prosperity.

They may also argue that wealthy religious leaders can use their money to fund charitable initiatives or help those in need, thus fulfilling their religious duties.

However, critics may argue that such wealth accumulation is not in line with the teachings of many religious faiths, which emphasize humility, selflessness, and a focus on serving others. They may argue that the accumulation of wealth can be a sign of greed and materialism, which are antithetical to religious values.

Ultimately, the question of whether or not a religious leader should be able to accumulate significant wealth is a complex one, with no easy answers. While some may argue that such wealth accumulation is a sign of God’s blessings and favor, others may view it as morally questionable or even antithetical to religious values.

Regardless of where one stands on this issue, it is important to approach discussions about religious leaders and wealth with an open mind and a willingness to consider multiple perspectives.

We must remember that religious leaders are human beings, capable of both great good and great harm, and that our discussions about their actions should reflect this complexity.
