Founder and leader of the Heavens Gate Ministries, Nicholas Osei famed as Kumchacha has said that pastors who sell water and various anointing oils are criminals.
According to the man of God, forcing congregants to pay offertory and tithe, selling of holy water and oils is tantamount to fraud.
Prophet Kumchacha in an interview with the media made these assertions.
Kumchacha indicated that it is not Christlike to accept monies from Christians who want to be in the presence of God.
“Someone may be going through something, depressed, feeling suicidal, sickness and may have heard about a pastor or prophet for encouragement but he may not come because he needs to pay Ghs200 or GHs500 as consultation fee,” he said.
Kumchacha added that pastors who force their congregants to pay high sums of money to the church are criminals and only extort from them.
“Such pastors are criminals. Offering money must be a voluntary act from the heart. The Bible says let them give according to what they have and want to give. Someone may want to give GHs2,000 or 200 as an offering as long as they want to,” he affirmed.
