In a recent sermon that has raised eyebrows and sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, Bishop Harrison Ng'ang'a, founder of the Christian Foundation Fellowship Church, delivered a message about men's grooming habits.
The bishop has discouraged men from shaving their heads clean, stating that it constitutes disobedience to God and leads to divine punishment.

He began by reminding his male congregants that they had been instructed not to have long hair, in accordance with biblical teachings. However, he emphasised that shaving their heads entirely was not the solution.
"Men, we have been instructed not to have long hair. However, it should not be shaved cleanly," he said.
According to his interpretation, only women are allowed to have clean-shaven heads.
"Hatuwezi kata nywele yote tukae kama nyungu. Only women are allowed to do it. (We can't cut all our hair and end up looking like traditional cooking pots)," he said.
Bishop Ng'ang'a: Men who shave their heads clean will face divine punishment
Bishop Ng'ang'a went on to make a bold claim that men who shave their heads completely are disobeying God, and as a consequence, they invite divine punishment into their lives.
"The homes of all men with clean-shaven heads start being destroyed. They will start complaining that they don't have money for rent," he said.
The bishop's message implied a direct connection between shaving one's head and financial hardships, suggesting that those who choose this grooming style are at risk of financial difficulties.
