South African Pastor Christ Penelope, has defended his unorthodox method of preaching which involves sitting on people’s heads after pictures of his strange technique circulated social media.

The leader of SevenFold Holy Spirit Ministries in Siyandani Village, Limpopo, claims his style is simply a demonstration of God’s power.

However some members of the congregation haven’t taken so kindly to Penelope’s form with one attendee complaining: “When we come to church it’s because we need prayers, not to be farted on.”

Penelope explained: “It started with Master Jesus when he stepped on Peter. It is the demonstration of God’s power. Just like God made Adam go into a deep sleep, it is a similar thing.

“God did anything with the body of Adam while he was on the ground in deep sleep. He was not feeling anything.

“The Bible doesn’t say anything about Adam saying ‘God, you are hurting me’.”

 “When they wake up from the deep sleep, they will tell you that they didn’t feel anything. It is showing the power of God and those who needed healing are healed afterwards and others get to manifest at that moment.

“Remember when people try to tarnish your image, that is when he shows his glory. As long as souls are won into the kingdom, he who sits on the throne laughs at his enemies.”

Funnily enough Christ Penelope isn’t the only leader in Africa to interpret the bible in a funny way, read up on the President of Tanzania who thinks prayers will cure covid not vaccines.
