Obinim rejects small offerings in his church

For him, "small contributions" like GH¢5-10 were a mockery to God and a show of "disrespect toward him as their pastor."

According to the controversial Obinim, God was unhappy with the 'small offerings.' He subsequently suggested that the acceptable offering in any of the branches of his churches should be GH¢20 and above.

Before he ended his statement, Obinim ordered all those who paid GH¢5 and GH¢10 to come and take their offerings away, adding that those who do not have enough to give should stay away when it is time to pay their offerings.

The video sparked reactions from Ghanaians, many of whom criticised his statements.

But in a later video on Gossip24's YouTube, Obinim explained what he meant by no longer taking 10 cedis or below offering.

Reacting to what social media users said about him, Obinim claims such people are foolish and villagers.

He advised his church members not to listen to what social media users are saying, claiming they would face God's wrath should they listen to netizens.
