According to her, some pastors begin by "deceiving" their members by telling them to bring a large sum of money for them to receive a miracle.
The lady questions such practices from supposed men of God who gradually find a way to scale the amount down until more people respond to their monetary callout. She believes that miracles should never be attached to money.
She said in the video:
“You will go to some churches and hear the pastor say, ‘I need just seven people that can run to the altar with their N200k. If you have N200k, just run to the altar with it. God has something for you.’ So, God now does limited miracles? If I had ₦200k, I wouldn’t be in church.”
The implication being that the size or act of a person's financial offering is what determines whether God moves on their behalf.
She added:
“If they see the people that came out for N200k are not much, they will lower it. Then it becomes N100k, N50k, N20k, N10k and finally, ‘Come with anything you have because God says this miracle must reach everybody.’ Na wetin Jesus Christ do for Bible?"
