Pastor Brian Amoateng, has drawn criticism after lashing out at people expecting relief materials from the church in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The founder of Brian Jones Outreach Ministries, Pastor Brian Amoateng said in a live Facebook video that though Christians give offerings and tithes, it is however given to God and not their Pastor. He added that offerings are given for blessings which are not physical. He said;
“If we don’t have money to pay rents, where are we going to get money to buy hand sanitizers?
“And let me tell you, it’s not the responsibility of the church to but hand sanitizers for you because you give offering. It is not. You give offering to God to receive a blessing. It’s not compulsory that the church has to bring you hand sanitizers.
“The bible says that God loves a cheerful giver. It should be out of a cheerful heart. You shouldn’t give to the church and expect favour in return.
“You give to God — not your pastor. You give to God to receive a blessing. And a blessing is something that you don’t see. It’s not physical — it’s an invisible force that’s comes upon your life to prosper…so stop thinking that the church has to bring you hand sanitizers.”
