Holy Hustle? Pastor Sells ‘Jerusalem Sand’ for $500, Promises City-Building Miracles

As tensions between Israel and Iran escalate, a Nigerian pastor identified as Pastor Jeremiah is making headlines—this time not for a sermon, but for selling what he calls “Jerusalem Sand” for a staggering $500 per bag.

According to the pastor, the sand carries supernatural power. In his words:

“This sand will change your life. For just $500, your destiny is secured. You’ll be able to build not just a house, but a whole city!”

Yes, you read that right.

While rockets fly over the Middle East, Pastor Jeremiah appears completely unbothered, confidently marketing this so-called holy sand—though it’s anyone’s guess where it actually came from. This isn’t the first time he’s claimed exclusive access to heaven’s treasures either. Critics have accused him of commercializing spirituality, calling it a “sacrilegious hustle,” while his loyal followers continue to believe in his divine product line.

But here’s the big question we’re asking:

Would you pay $500 for a bag of sand just because a pastor says it can “secure your destiny”? Or is this just another case of faith being flipped into fortune?
