Nigel Gaisie shares struggle as a Prophet

He did not shy away from sharing the personal sacrifices he makes to ensure the church runs smoothly.

"Do you know how much offering we make on Sunday? After COVID, it has drastically changed. On a scale of 10%, it has dropped by 7%," he said.

The prophet added;

"I sometimes starve my kids to pay church bills because the church is my first love. It is our heartbeat. And you want to satisfy the congregants. That ignorant talk, I don’t know where they are coming from."

Prophet Gaisie also noted that his faith in God ensures that pastors are taken care of when their work is done with sincerity and dedication.

He urged members of the public to understand the realities of running a church, stressing that generosity within the congregation often flows back into community support and charitable efforts rather than into personal gain.
