Some pastors shout “hallelujah” over $20. But not Bishop Marvin Winans. He went on full scolding after a church member dropped a $1.2k donation. And his response? It’s viral now!
Winans had asked his flock for $2k offering without thinking about their financial situations but when a generous member dropped what she could afford, hell broke loose!
The confusion at Perfecting Church happened after Winans asked members to donate “$1,000 plus 1.” While Winans continued to repeat the phrase, many of the members approached the center aisle to give two separate $1,000 donations. There was, however, one woman who came forward with $1,235.
“I’m giving in faith and standing in unity with the vision of Perfecting Church, sowing this seed of $1,000 plus $235 and receiving the blessings to come,” the woman said when she gave her donation.
Winans was quick to correct the woman when she came up short of the donation he had asked for.
“That’s only $1,200,” he said.
After the woman acknowledged that she is short of the donation, Winans continued to press her.
“You’re not listening to what I’m saying. If you have $1,000 plus $1,000…,” he said.
While the woman vowed to bring the remaining $800 eventually, Winans wasn’t satisfied.
“Well, that ain’t what I asked you to do,” he said.
Next time, sister in Christ, bring a calculator. Apparently, grace is free — but exact donations are the real key to heaven’s VIP section. Salvation isn’t free in the 21st century!
