Dr. Olumide Emmanuel has ignited controversy online by addressing why many Christians in Africa face poverty and why it may seem that God is not faithful. He urged Christians to live within their means and to avoid having many children if their income cannot support such responsibilities.
Dr. Emmanuel explained that when people’s responsibilities exceed their income, it gives the impression that God is unfaithful. However, he emphasized that God remains ever faithful, and it is the excessive burdens that people take on that create the appearance of divine unfaithfulness.
