“Never choose a church event over family. Are you with me? In this church, any day, any time, let me tell you, choose your work over church service. Choose your family over church activity.
“You may not like me, but I have told you the truth. In this church, choose your family over the church. Choose your work over the church. I’ve told you a simple idea,” he said.
The video has since sparked reactions online, with some netizens praising the prophet for making what they describe as a bold and unconventional statement.
