Nigerian comedian and actor Woli Arole has raised concerns about materialism in the church.
He shared his thoughts on Instagram, expressing worry over a shift in focus. He believes the church is moving from salvation to financial gain.
“I say this as God’s prophet: Mammon is already creaking into the church,” he wrote. “The talk of money, the worship of money.”
Arole emphasized that Christ died for eternal life, not wealth. He urged believers to share his message.
Born Bayegun Oluwatoyin, Woli Arole gained fame through social media. He combines comedy with spiritual insight and has made a name in Nollywood.
Recently, he shifted towards ministry with fiery messages and unique preaching styles. His latest post reflects frustration among some Christian leaders and followers.
