A Nigerian pastor stirs mixed reactions as he prays for miracle money to hit the account of his church members during a crusade.
A video making the rounds on social media captured the moment church members raised their phones in the air to receive miracle money. During the crusade, the pastor encouraged his congregation to have faith in him to get wealth since ‘money is spiritual.’ “You told me that the words of my mouth will not fall to the ground; you told me that whoever I bless shall be blessed. I stand in my office as God’s servant, lift up those phones, I command money to enter your account,” he said in part.
The video, however, stirred reactions from netizens who deemed the members as gullible for expecting miracle money from a pastor. “Pastor that should have prayed for the money to enter his count so he can do transfers to these people himself. But because he knows the transfer by prayers no dey work, he invited them for a special programme so he can collect offering from them while they expect Miracle tranfer.
Yahoo Pastor 1000 – Gullible Christians 0,” a social media user wrote in reaction. Another user added, “Religion is the opium of the masses. ~ Karl Marx. In my language, it’s a drug that reduces the capabilities and capacities of the neurological functioning of humans… Religion was created to make a foolish person feel better about being ignorant…It will make you see foolishness as right, and rightness being foolish… Even when I didn’t reach the age of reasoning, I didn’t believe or fall to these nonsense…” Watch the video below …
