Pictures have emerged of controversial South African pastor, Lesego Daniel, feeding his church members with millipedes and beer drinks.
Photos from the “mass feeding” programme of the Rabboni Centre Ministries was shared on the church’s Facebook page.
The pastor backed the bizzare act by claiming that God gave humans everything that lives on earth as food, urging members not to discriminate.
The church said in a statement: “Truly this scripture was fulfilled in Rabboni centre ministries today as our father has been teaching us that anything can be declared to be the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, we don’t discriminate because God gave to us everything that lives and moves about the earth to be food, just as He has given us green plants for food. He said to Noah in genesis 9 that I now give you everything for food to eat and today we are beating the shadows to reveal those who dwell in the shadow of the almighty as we are revealing the ones who belong to the light.
“So sons of glory cannot be judged by what they eat or drink or with regard to religious festivals because these things were a shadow of what was to come, so the reality has come and this reality is found in the body of Christ. Creation continues to be joyful in Rabboni centre ministries because it has been subjected to frustration, not by its own choice but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope that it will be liberated when the sons of glory are revealed.
“Creation wait no more, whatever we touch is blessed, whether it’s chicken, millipede, boerewors, waffles, etc., we sanctify and consecrate it by the word of God and prayer and we declare it to be the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
“This is how we call our Lord Jesus Christ affectionately into remembrance and many sons and daughters partook from his body with joy as they have been enlightened by the word of truth.”
It was not the first time Lesego will make his members do what is deemed as abnormal. He became famous after he made them eat grass and drink petrol in 2014, saying it will make them get closer to God.
