The clergyman who stated this during a sermon in his church noted that Christians should not give what belongs to God to the poor.
He told his congregation not to be eager to help every poor person, as they don’t know why the person is in that condition.
According to him, some poor people are simply suffering the consequences of bad decisions they made in the past.
