<h3>Ng'ang'a - Educated individuals have influenced the world negatively</h3>

Pastor Ng'ang'a took the opportunity to share his perspective on how educated individuals have influenced the world negatively, highlighting issues such as homosexuality.

He claimed that learned individuals have played a role in propagating such matters.

"Wale watu wameharibu dunia nzima ni wasomi. Mimi nilitoka na hii injili 1989. Na nikihubiri nyinyi mnaotaka kuniambia sitahubiri mlikua shule mkisomea hizo makaratasi.

"Na usifikiri mimi utanitisha. Muweke mipaka sababu kuna wagang'a na wachawi na mnajua mahali wako... Kuna devil worshippers Nairobi, na mnajua pahali wako na hamjafunga," he said.

<h3>Ng'ang'a blasts congregant for making request after tithing Sh500</h3>

In another viral video, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/celebrities/pastor-nganga-has-revealed-that-he-wants-to-open-a-new-church-in-the-us-from-the/6qh0vjf">Pastor Ng'ang'a laid down</a> a strict policy concerning offerings after anointing.

He declared that those who do not make offerings after receiving anointing would not be welcome back in his church.

The pastor emphasised the importance of financial contributions from the congregation, underlining their significance for the church's sustenance and operations.

During the same service, Pastor Ng'ang'a highlighted an incident involving a follower who had offered him Shs500 for prayers.

Expressing his dissatisfaction, the pastor confronted the individual, emphasizing that such a small offering was inadequate and did not show genuine commitment to their faith.

"Na mwingine jana alinipatia mia tano akaniambia nikumbuke watoto wake, Nikumbuke wajukuu wake, mia tano?"&nbsp;Ng'ang'a inquired.
