Stop broadcasting your donations on social media - Apostle Paul Kofi Agyekum

The general overseer of Victory Outreach Church and Victory Missions London, Apostle Paul Kofi Agyekum, has urged all Christian Leaders and believers to put a stop to broadcasting about their donations on social media and television for the world to see.

This he said during a Facebook online service that was sighted by social media personality, Skbeatz Records.

He further explained that the act of giving and donating to the needy or poor must be done in secret as the Bible tells us to do.

The UK based Ghanaian preacher stressed that Christian leaders shouldn’t allow the bombarding criticisms and pressure from people, saying ‘What is the Church doing to help the needy during this pandemic era?’, to influence their decision making from doing what’s right and pleasing before our Maker.

A few weeks ago, when a three-week partial Lockdown was declared by His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, a number of Churches made effort to donate to members as well as people who were in dire need of financial support and food, facing the COVID-19 crisis.

In doing so, there was video coverage of some churches donating to people and some media had it put on air.

Apostle Agyekum concluded that Christians should not show off their contributions and donations on media just to prove others wrong about the help that the church also renders to the poor during the pandemic. “It is not scriptural”, he added.
