Pastor Dzomeku of Ghana Warns Against Monetising the Gospel
The Global Evangelical Church on Friday held its opening ceremony of the 2022 Mini Synod in Accra, on the theme ‘Be Ye Holy’.
Addressing the congregation, the Right Rev. Prosper Samuel Dzomeku advised against monetising the gospel or “galamsey”, the promotion and sale of anointing oil, salt, holy water, prayer mantles, among others, to manipulate members for money.
According to him, monetisation of the gospel was one disheartening phenomenon which had become so prevalent among groups and people these days.
“It has almost become a norm in most of our congregations these days to turn funeral services into fund-raising ceremonies, at certain places offertories are taken three times during a single funeral service,” he added.
