He responded:
“Since I opened my ministry, no members, since I have been serving God, since year 2000 that I opened my ministry, no members, only 15.”

“God you called me, I have prayed and fasted, I have done everything to make sure that my church grows, I have gone for evangelism, I have done vigil to make sure that my church grows.”
According to the pastor, all his colleagues they attended the same school of ministry are doing well while he still remains at the same spot.
“All those that I attended ministry school with they are doing well, they are travelling abroad.

“I will not see money to settle my members working for me. There is nothing I have not done,” he added.
