During a recent sermon, he projected an alleged invoice from a gospel artist demanding a $10,000 honorarium, a 50% non-refundable deposit, a first-class flight, and premium accommodation, among other requirements.
Apostle Lazarus argued that such financial expectations contradict the true essence of gospel ministry.

“The mistake on that invoice is the word ‘honorarium’ used; just tell them the price. When they pay you this amount of money, you will shout and roll on the floor, but those who know God know He’s not there,” he stated.

He further alleged that some gospel singers avoid billing influential pastor because they seek endorsements from them while imposing high charges on smaller ministries.
“Many charlatans like this don’t bill big pastors because they use big pastors for endorsement,” he added.
