How female pastor helped member

@ChiefOwo_ recalled in 2015 that he wanted to pay for a professional course that cost N500k and needed a miracle.

He said he had saved enough money, but the exchange rate went against him. He approached his pastor for prayers, and to his surprise, she wrote him a check. He wrote:

"In early 2015, I needed a miracle of 500k to pay for a professional course. I had saved up enough but fx rates changed abruptly."I went to my pastor for prayers and she asked, “why do you need prayers for something I can do?” "She wrote me that check & my life changed till date."

People react to his story

@royal_t_online said:

"It's why these bad stories will never move me. I've seen members and even stramgers constantly depend on pastors giving but when u get close to the pastors family you'll realise they don't even have themselves, d children even dislike their dad for giving so much to others."

@EreluChocolate said:

"Pastors are human beings, God did not give everyone the spirit of generousity, it doesn't marr the work."We have family members who can't share, giving is a gift."

@jaybrizzy said:

"There wouldn’t be a need for counter narratives if Pastors were Christlike in their dealings. Even Christ when he noticed his congregation was hungry proceeded to feed them. This is what being a shepherd is all about. Taking care of the needs of your flock as much as you can."

@sauron136 said:

"You know what an exception is? Okay good. Well, your story right here is a classic example of an exception. Because for this story you posted, you can find at least 10 more stories that says the contrary. "Now, trying to present your story as the norm as depicted in words like "I'm not sure what your pastors are" is outright deceitful."

@OOluwatomis said:

"This is one thing I know my dad does. He’d pay school fees, give money for feeding and transport fare to our members and workers whenever they ask, from his own pocket."
