Recently, l have encountered some Ministers/Pastors/Prophets so called and read about a lot of abuses in this area of merchandizing the gospel through monetizing prayer, fasting and prophecy. The story that prompted me to reproduce this article earlier published under the title: Stop merchandising the gospel is the one written by Aloysius Attah in Sunday Sun March 6, 2011. Here is an excerpt: A Church were prayer is monetized thus •Divine wealth –300, 000, •Favour –75,000, •Breaking curses –N50,000, •Tithe – 20% of income. “ The consequences of the quest for quick results and the gullible nature of some Nigerians to believe any word spoken by self-proclaimed prophets and preachers came to the fore recently in Onitsha, Anambra State. Sunday Sun discovered a church where members are hypnotized into parting with their hard-earned money in exchange for “miracles”. Located at Oraukwu community town hall, Silas Works Road, Fegge, Onitsha, is a new generation church, Land of Canaan and Calvary Deliverance Church, where God’s blessings are ‘bought’ for a fee.
