An unnamed pastor from Utawala, Nairobi had a rough time trying to explain to his flock the strategies he uses while fasting.
It is alleged that believers who fellowship in his church had doubts whether he fasts because his potbelly kept on increasing despite him urging them to always fast.
On the material day, congregants had flocked the church to full to capacity. However before the service commenced they started asking the servant of God some question.
“Excuse me Reverend, before today’s service begins, there is something we would like to ask from you.” One of the congregants started.
The pastor became shocked because he didn’t know what they wanted to enquire from him. However, he still allowed them to proceed to ask their questions.
“Reverend, you’ve been asking us to fast steadfastly. I personally fast five times in a month and my body can tell it all. Look how skinny I have turned to be.” The man started
“We’ve been following up on your health progress for a long while and developed doubts whether you fast. Unlike us, you are always nourishing and even your potbelly has significantly increased.” The man continued
Some of the congregants bursted into laughter and their faces could be seen glowing.
“That’s very true. You’ve always been increasing yet that’s the complete opposite to us. Kindly advice us on the strategies you use so that we can also be like you” Another congregant said.
The pastor was left confused and without words to speak he slowly returned to his seat. While still seated, he condemned them for mocking him. “I didn’t tell you not to eat, so stop accusing me falsely.” The pastor said to them.
The congregants on the other hand started walking out of the church leaving him alone with his wife.
