Although pastors are humans therefore does not have the feature of infallibility but, they should make more researches to issues rather than putting their emotions into interpreting the bible.
The Winners Chapel in 2022 employed pastors on a payroll of 40,000 Nigerian Naira, does Ibiyomie mean his mentor , David Oyedepo is wrong or Jesus is wrong? Of course no and there is no such curse of poverty placed on church workers.

If a missionary wants to become full time in service, then it is a common practice that he/she will raise financial support from other people as his/her salary to provide his/her needs. If it happens that he/she does not have any financial support from the church or fellow believers, then he/she needs another source of income (either a business or part time work) which will eat his/her time and he/she will not be able to do his/her God's work.
