Founder and Senior Pastor of Salvation Ministries, David Ibiyeomie, says any architect or accountant who does not have a job should blame it on lack of integrity.
In a video of his sermon, which is currently on social media, the cleric told his congregants that integrity is key to getting jobs.

He said: “Any builder not getting jobs is not the devil. It is integrity that is your problem. All architects, all builders, civil engineers, if you are not getting jobs..there are too many jobs. It is not because there are no jobs, You lack integrity.
“You are so good…anybody that is good and is not getting jobs…any accountant that is not employed lacks integrity. The first qualification of an accountant is integrity. The second qualification is integrity, the third is integrity. Not ICAN. An accountant’s qualification is not ICAN. ICAN without integrity, you are in the CAN.”
This is not the first time that the preacher would spark a controversy during his sermon.
Last year, he literarily set Social Media on fire when said anyone who allows his phone to ring inside the church is poor.
“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.
“Off your phone but if your phone rings you have signed up for poverty. Your mentality is poor, it’s not money in your pocket yet. Somebody say I hear,” he had said.
Ibiyeomie was in the news for a controversial reason two years ago when he described On-Air-Personality Daddy Freeze as a bastard over his criticism of Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel.
His harsh comments against the radio personality had triggered a backlash.
