Matthew 5:5 says “blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” Maybe that’s why this Gucci-loving preacher has had his luxurious possessions stripped from him…
In what’s quickly shaping up to be one of the most bizarre stories of 2022, Bishop Lamor Whitehead – the leader of an obscure Brooklyn congregation called Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries – was robbed of around $1 million of chains, rings, watches and other jewellery in the middle of a service.
The theft was actually captured on livestream – although the congregation has since taken down the video.
The controversial pastor, a prosperity gospel preacher known for his outlandish taste in designer clothes, luxury goods and high-end automobiles, has called the robbery (or rather his survival) a miracle… But it’s also raised obvious questions about why a man of God should have such insane luxuries, as well as drawn attention to Whitehead’s chequered past.
