God is Good! … And These Five Extremely Wealthy Pastors Prove it!

*With all due respect, I started noticing a l-o-n-g time ago that being a preacher is one of the most lucrative “jobs” out there.

Many of us in the Black community grew up listening to a preacher on the radio or watching a pastor on Sunday morning TV — as our household prepared for church.

At the time, and I know I’m dating myself here, televangelist Billy Graham was the it preacher.  Little did we know how much of a big business church would become.

Yes, God is good! Real good.

Just take a look at these preachers who have built an impressive amount of wealth from preaching the Word.

According to Wikipedia,  he is a Christian pastor and founder and presiding Bishop at the  megachurch Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, as well as the Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners’ Chapel .
