Pastor Philip Olubakin has urged Christians to stop limiting their families to one or two children.
He made the call on Wednesday at the Shift Conference.
He said children are a source of strength for a family.
Philip also pointed to a Bible verse saying that a man with children will not be shamed when he speaks to his enemies at the gate.
He also claimed there is a plan to outnumber Christians through birth rates
In his view, many Christians have become too comfortable with small families and prefer pets and a neat lifestyle over more children.
He said Muslims are having more children and their population is growing around the world.
To support his point, the pastor claimed that Muhammad has been the most registered name for newborn boys in the United Kingdom for three years in a row.
He said this year marks the third straight year.
