Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Amid the economic hardship in Nigeria, the Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, on Sunday, disclosed why dumped his high paying job in the United States, US, and returned to the country.<\/p>\n

Pastor Giwa disclosed that his zeal to serve God made him dump his job in the US, which he said was paying him an equivalent of five million naira monthly.<\/p>\n

Addressing his members in Akure, Ondo State, the clergyman said he opted to return to Nigeria to serve God despite intervention from his \u201cwhite\u201d boss after his resignation.<\/p>\n

Cautioning that life is not all about wealth acquisition, the clergyman stressed the need for people to serve God.<\/p>\n

Pastor Giwa said: \u201cIf you think the purpose of coming to this world is to acquire wealth, you have made a grievous mistake.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scripture tells us to serve God with all our hearts, our father Abraham gave everything he had to God and God blessed him in return.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you ready to sacrifice your career for God? Are you ready to sacrifice your children for God?<\/p>\n

\u201cThey thought was crazy when I told them at my job that I was resigning, the white people came to me and asked, are you sure you know what you are talking about? I said yes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey asked what happened to you? I responded nothing and what I want to do was to give my life to God, to be in his presence for 24 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you compare how much I earned weekly, it\u2019s more than five million naira. I ignored this things because I wanted to serve God and be in his presence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere do you want to be when the trumpet sounds? Are you going to be complaining that because of my job.\u201d<\/p>\n
