‘He’s Never Stolen Where Everyone Else Does,’- Pastor David Ibiyeomie Rewards Mechanic Turned Messenger Who Works With The Church With A Four-Bedroom Bungalow Gift

The Presiding Pastor of Salvation Ministries, David Ibiyeomie, has surprised a mechanic-turned-messenger who works with the church with a four-bedroom bungalow gift.

Ibiyeomie, whose church’s headquarters is located in GRA, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, rewarded the church messenger with the new house for his faithfulness and integrity at the church’s SMHOS 27th anniversary celebration.

A trending video shows the pastor handing over the papers of the beautifully furnished house to the lucky man.

Our correspondent reports that the church’s Instagram handle, #smhosglobal, posted the video on April 13, 2024.

The pastor said, “There is an award, and the person who gets it may shed tears of joy. Let me just say this: Some years ago, a young man said there is a mechanic in Port Harcourt who brings change. I said ‘In this town?’ I said, ‘Call me that mechanic; let me see.’ I said mechanics are not known for honesty.

“I wondered how a mechanic could say that whatever you give him, he will never take your money, not to mention return your balance if he spends less than bargained. I said I do not think it is true, and then everybody testified that it was his nature.

“When he came to me, I asked how much he makes per month, and he answered. Then I told him to resign from his job. Come and work with us as a messenger. You’d be buying things for us since you have integrity.

“We’ve tested him everywhere, and he has stood on integrity impeccably. He has never taken a dime and never stolen where everyone else does—he was exempt.”

The pastor stated that since the man was educated and was a junior staff member, he was convinced that when pastors are rewarded, those who are honest also should be.

He continued, “When pastors are rewarded, we shouldn’t leave out those who are honest. He doesn’t even have any idea, even though I saw him yesterday and told him to keep on doing the good work he is doing. He would be shocked to receive the blessings.

“Then I said no and changed my mind. I said if this man had been this honest, let’s reward him during this anniversary. So, he is living in a rented house somewhere because he is a very junior staffer.

“So, we decided, as a commission, to buy him a four-bedroom bungalow. I want Henry Eremosele to come out.”

Ibiyeomie had barely completed the statement when the joyous congregation began to cheer, as seen in the video.

“Show the video. Bring him. That is the house. It is a four-bedroom bungalow. The documents are here and signed. Whatever made you this honest, keep it up. God bless you. Faithfulness rewards,: he added.

The three-minute and 25-second video ended with a happy Eremosele kneeling as he received the document.

“Give Jesus a big hand,” the pastor said as the video ended.
