Fr. Kelvin Ugwu Criticizes Pastor’s 'Miracle Money' Prayers, Urges Followers to Discern Faith Practices

Catholic priest Fr. Kelvin Ugwu recently used social media to express disapproval over a pastor and congregants seen praying for unsolicited "miracle money" to appear in their bank accounts. In a video shared by Fr. Ugwu, churchgoers are seen holding up their phones, shouting "Amen" as their pastor prays fervently for instant financial blessings.

The pastor was heard saying, “I command money to enter into your account. I don’t need to shout for you to get wealth. I speak to Zenith Bank account, receive miracle money. I speak to Diamond Access account, receive miracle money. I speak to UBA, receive miracle money. I speak to GTB, receive miracle money.”

Responding to the video, Fr. Ugwu wrote, “Unfortunately, this is what some people gather to do and call it night vigil. The funny part is that the same minister commanding money from different banks to enter the people's accounts will rather choose to ask the people to bring offerings and tithe instead of commanding the same money into his own account. Make una try to dey get sense. Stop helping these people bastardize Christianity.”
