Renowned gospel musician and evangelist, Diana Asamoah, has taken a bold stance against pastors who sell spiritual items to their congregants, branding them as fraudsters disguised as men of God.
Speaking candidly during a live radio interview, the outspoken evangelist referenced the recent 15-year jail sentence handed to former fetish priestess turned evangelist, Nana Agradaa, and used the opportunity to address what she described as widespread commercialisation of the gospel in Ghana.
According to Diana Asamoah, the issue of exploiting believers isn’t exclusive to Agradaa. She stressed that many so-called pastors who sell oils, soaps, candles, and other items in the name of spiritual breakthrough are equally guilty of fraud.
“These pastors are not serving God — they are running businesses,” she said. “They take huge sums of money from poor church members and return just a fraction in the form of donations or giveaways, and people hail them as generous.”
She went on to warn the Ghana Police Service and the general public not to be deceived by such acts of ‘giving back,’ noting that it’s merely a calculated move to maintain loyalty while profiting off vulnerable believers.
Diana Asamoah, who has enjoyed decades of success in ministry and music, emphasized that her achievements have not come through the use of any so-called spiritual items.
“I’ve travelled across nations, I’ve been successful by the grace of God, not through oils or handkerchiefs sold by pastors,” she stated.
