He’s never stolen where everyone else does,’ pastor rewards honest messenger with four-bedroom bungalow.

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.”
