God is not a visa contractor - Pastor

Rev Nana Anyani-Buadum, General Overseer of the Jesus Generation Sanctuary Chapel, has advised “latter day prophets” to desist from presenting God to unsuspecting congregations as a visa contractor.

“God is not a magician and it is unethical, cheap and unchristian to make people believe that with a wave of their prophet’s hand by the mere pouring of anointed oil or laying of hands, the people could obtain visa even when the documents are not in order.

He was preaching the sermon at a church service held at the church’s Kwame Nkrumah Circle headquarters branch in Accra. Rev Anyani-Buadum said the dangers of presenting God as a magician is that after a few days, if the visa applicant does not get the visa, if the sick are not healed, if the barren does not conceive, “we make God a liar”.
