‘Snake pastor’ Penuel Mnguni of End Times Disciples Ministries visited Prophet TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of all Nations in Nigeria on Sunday, in a church service that was aired live on Emmanuel TV.
According to the church’s Twitter account, Mnguni “confessed” during the service that “feeding snakes to the people is not biblical”.
For those who were not watching the channel, EFF leader Julius Malema shared his thoughts with his followers on Mnguni’s visit, saying he was there to seek deliverance.
“The so-called Pastor Penuel Mnguni, known as the ‘snake pastor’ from South Africa is in Nigeria to ask for deliverance from the man of God Prophet TB Joshua,” said Malema, who also went there in 2013 to “seek blessings” for his political journey.
Malema’s tweet, however, raised a number of of questions from his followers who questioned whether the Nigerian man was a true prophet.
These were some of the comments from his followers:
“What the hell is happening now? Are you losing your mind?Are you bewitched or what? I guess you’re not so smart if you see Joshua as man of God.”
“You’re embarrassing EFF supporters. Are u trying to compete with Zille and Zuma?”
“He should be banned from entering this country again. TB Joshua should never see SA again!”
“THIXO wase Enengu State Abuja! That boy will come back worse. All the Impepho available in this country must be lit on his arrival back.”
“Iyooo…his congregants will eat bigger reptiles when he comes back.”
“Y’all people saying Prophet TB Joshua is not a real man of God you have little faith and need to seek God’s intervention in your lives.”
True prophet or not, the EFF leader said it was not his place to judge, despite that he too went there to seek blessings from him.
The ‘snakes pastor’ made news in 2015 after pictures of him feeding snakes to his congregants emerged. In the pictures, a woman and a man could be seen eating the live snakes said to have tasted like chocolate.
In the same year, he again made his congregants strip during the service before “commanding” the “temperature to decrease into snow atmosphere”.
The congregation apparently started to feel cold in their bodies and covered themselves with blankets.
During the same service, he reportedly commanded the “Spirit of Snakes” to enter the congregation. They then began slithering on the ground with their tongues out.
