Apostle Arome Israel Osayi, the Founder and President of the Remnant Christian Network, has openly expressed concern about the prevalence of overly zealous messages of prosperity among preachers in Nigeria. In a recently surfaced online message, the cleric suggested that numerous preachers in the country warrant a kind of spiritual quarantine due to their excessive emphasis on prosperity.
Osayi stressed that the prosperity message should not take precedence and that true prosperity is a byproduct of aligning with God. He candidly stated, "If not for the online platform, I have a list of preachers in Nigeria that should be quarantined for an extended period, at least for five years, to undergo thorough purification."
He emphasized that if the message of prosperity dominates a preacher's teachings, they are not serving a purpose in the eyes of God. Osayi asserted, "If the message of prosperity becomes a primary focus, you're not useful to God." According to him, prosperity naturally follows when individuals adhere to God's commands.
Encouraging his audience to be discerning about the kind of prosperity messages they consume, Osayi pointed out that Jesus Christ did not specifically call some individuals who now hide under the banner of prosperity to attract followers. He cautioned, "We need to exercise caution with the type of prosperity message being preached. Jesus did not call some preachers but are using the message of prosperity, and people are flocking to them to tap into it."
Apostle Arome Israel Osayi urged a reevaluation of the prominence given to prosperity in preaching and advised listeners to be vigilant in discerning the true essence of the messages they encounter.
