THE pastor tells his congregation to drink engine cleaner because it is good for the soul.
But preachers and Christians want him to stop his nonsense.
Prophet Theo Maseko of Breath of Christ Ministries in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni claimed the engine cleaner attacks viruses in a person’s body and detects demons.
Maseko claimed the engine cleaner tastes like honey and poses no health hazard to true believers.
“I drank it twice,” he claimed.
Maseko claimed he received his calling before he was born and believes he is fulfilling God’s wish to redeem people from evil.
He claimed non of the people who drank the fluid, has come back with complaints.
Maseko joins the ever growing list of controversial pastors who use strange methods to heal members of their churches.
Pastor Lesego Daniel sparked controversy in 2014 when he fed grass to his followers and instructed them to drink petrol.
In 2015, pastor Penuel Mnguni got into hot water for telling his church members to eat rodents and snakes.
Last year prophet Lethebo Rabalago made headlines when he sprayed Doom all over his followers.
Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva, chairwoman of the Rights of Religious, Cultural and Linguistic Communities Commission, said that pastors who give people strange things to eat and drink in the name of God will soon be held to account.
“We ask people to protect the vulnerable believers who fall prey to these pastors.”
