Bishop Dag Disgraces Pastor And Defrocks Him For Not Listening To His Podcasts

• A video of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills scolding a pastor has emerged on social media
• The popular bishop dismissed Pastor Eric Asalabi after he said he was not listening to any of the bishop's podcasts because he was reading a book
• He wondered why a pastor and leader of one of the church's branches will not listen to any of his podcasts

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills of the Mega United Denominations Church (formerly Lighthouse Chapel International) has demoted a pastor who failed to tell him what message he has been listening to.

At what seemed to be a conference, the renowned Bishop asked the pastor his name and what message he had been listening to.

In the video shared, the pastor gave his name as Eric Asalabi and added that he was reading a book titled, Attempt To Do Great Things written by the bishop.

But Dag Heward-Mills was not happy with the response and started ranting. The man of God said Eric cannot be called a pastor if he doesn’t listen to messages from him.

“Attempt to do great things for the Lord, What message is that? You call this a pastor? It’s a disgrace. You are not a pastor anymore. This is a representative of our church. Which church? Lighthouse? And he is just a sample. When I take three people here, and I start to ask you certain questions, you will see that you are not a pastor in this church.”

“That is why you have people that when we say we are going to sign certain forms, you see them say they will not sign because you must be someway. The basics of the church you don’t even understand, and you are called pastor. You are a representative and a leader. How much more the people? The basics is listening to messages,” he added.

This church do not even have gospel, and leading people astray. I have been to this church several times and they do not talk about the secret of forgiveness of sin and being born again.

@koboateng commented:

Context for those who don’t know much about lighthouse: Every member must stay updated with Bishop Dag’s messages (podcasts). In church(depending on your rank), you’ll be asked what you’ve listened to that week, and not listening to the Bishop’s messages may lead to consequences.

That’s his church he chooses who becomes a pastor and continues to be a pastor in his church and who gets fired! When you build your church you makes the rules

@kwazibruce indicated:

The man takes loyalty very seriously and if he finds out that one of his church leaders is not on board he will let them go. He’s continuing to build a globally mega church that is counted amongst the impactful in societies.
