Popular gospel minister and revivalist, Lawrence Oyor, has sparked online debate after labeling forex trading as a form of gambling.

In a recent teaching session, Pastor Oyor cautioned young believers to be cautious in their pursuit of wealth, emphasizing the need for spiritual discernment in financial choices.

While advocating for financial stability, Pastor Oyor warned that the allure of online trading can lead to spiritual distraction and misplaced priorities, particularly if not guided by biblical principles or professional expertise.

This sentiment aligns with his consistent teachings, urging believers to integrate spiritual integrity and purpose into all aspects of life, including business and career pursuits.

The statement has garnered mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that forex trading can foster a “get rich quick” mentality.
