POLOKWANE – A prophet from the Ambassadors of Christ Gospel Ministries church in Seshego has come under fire for feeding his congregants dog meat as communion.

The photos were shared by a member of the church who stated that they (the congregants) are still going to eat what the world has rejected because “we are out of this world.” The post reads: “1Timothy 4, Paul says everything that God created is good and nothing is to be rejected if received with thanksgiving.”

The following photos are not for sensitive viewers:

On 16 May, Prophet Penuel released a statement on his Facebook page stating he is not afraid to speak out and that he knows who is involved in plots against him.

“That’s the reason why I am not afraid to even speak about these dogs, who seem to be pillars of Gospel… Anyone who needs my fingerprints, must be done publicly before everyone, including my media team. I am a public spectacle and every single thing that I do, must be recorded and captured on cameras. When the Holy Spirit allows me to play it publicly, I will do it without fear. At this very level where I am, it is not safe for anyone to capture my fingerprints for their own plans and benefits. The moment they fail to attack us in the spirit, they would rather frame you into fraud. If l have to go to jail, let it be the will of God not of man or these earthly pastors who do not even know their authority in Christ,” his statement read.
