i pity people who go to those funny funny churches where the pastor is so money minded he can't preach the word of God but beg for money.

Nkt! Guy should be whipped in public. Ni aibu.

There is an interesting story about prophet Elisha and his aide Gehazi in 2 Kings. Naaman, a Syrian General, is leprous and the prophet leads him to his healing. Naaman is more than greatful and offers material gifts to Elisha to express his gratitude. ELISHA REJECTS THEM and bids Naaman farewell. Gehazi follows Naaman a while later to claim those gifts. God strikes him with leprosy. Fact is, some of these people may have some of the gifts that they do claim to have. However, selling what God has given you freely is ungodly. Misrepresenting God as one who will bless only upon being bribed is blasphemy. God doesnt even look at how big your donation is. It is not What or how much you give that matters, it is how you give.

Thanks God i stopped watching this desperados long ago.

If you will be awake by 8:00am on Sunday, switch your TV to K.B.C at around 8:00am - and you will experience Mpesa Ministries of Kenya first hand!!! Of course if one of his lieutenants - or himself - is a wazuan, they might go easy on MPesa sermons next Sunday. Today's "preaching" was 100% MPesa. NOTHING else!!!

@2 Miles - Today he had six MPesa lines on the screen occupying approximately the lower quarter of the screen, with the words MPESA NOW, NOW!!! INSTANT MIRACLE WAITING! And to avoid any confusion, yes, the word now was repeated and yes, the exclamation marks were there - I have simply 'copy pasted'.

@Theu - I have heard the Muiru story. Ati you submit your "sadaka", name and problem as the preaching is going on. At prayer time, the ones who chucked beyond a certain threshold - say 3k - are mentioned by full name and specific problem. E.g. "Mungu saidia bwana @Impunity. Ana shida ya kuwamezea wasoma habari kwenye runinga mate. Hata wale wameolewa. Muondolee pepo hiyo mbaya...". The ones who chucked say between 1k and 3k are mentioned as a together - by one name, and the ones who chucked below (say) 1k are mentioned in general - na hao wengine wenye shida mbali mbali kama kukosa kazi... I asked a friend who used to attend those services how true that was and she totally didn't want to discuss that story. She told me that we should not challenge "watumishi wa mungu".
