Controversial Televangelist Pastor Ezekiel Odero has asked his believers to continue giving more offering especially to his bank accounts that have been frozen by the state.
While responding to questions from his congregants on whether his family will go hungry after the state’s move, Pastor Ezekiel said that if they continue to send money to the account the government will know where he gets money from.
According to him, he has only been restricted from withdrawing from the accounts but deposits can still be made.
“Mtu anauliza pastor kama kulifungwa accounts tunatoa wapi. Si mliskia accounts zimefungwa, Pastor mtalala njaa? Hapana, tumepanda mahindi na pastor Sarah tuko na mbogo, mbuzi na kuku,” he said.
“Mtu anauliza unatoa hapo hapo, kuingia inaingia kutoa ndio sitoi ndio angalau wajue mahali zinatoka. Mwana wa newlife, ni vyema account zichunguzwe ili serikali ijue zinatoka wapi. Nyinyi mko na ruhusa ya kutoa sadaka kwa hizo till numbers na hizo accounts. Hata ukituma sahizi itaingia tu, mimi ndio siwezi kutoa na ikiwezekana sasa tutoe zaidi ndio wajue zaidi,” he said
(Some one is asking where they can give offering to, whether we will go hungry, no, we have planted maize, we have vegetables, chicken and goats. I am the one who has been restricted from withdrawing, children of New life, its better the government inspects the accounts so that they can know the source of the funds.)
Pastor Ezekiel further said that by stopping to deposit offering in his accounts, that will raise suspicions and it will mean that they are hiding something.
He further confirmed that he had also given his offering through the account on Tuesday morning.
“I don’t know how to lie. If I will be arrested because of deposit, I have deposited today morning. I have deposited Kshs300,000 but I can’t withdraw, let it stay there,” he said.
Pastor Ezekiel added that he will pray for those who continue to give offering, tithes and sacrifices so that they get blessed.
