A prominent pastor in
Zimbabwe is forcing his congregants to contribute money to his church on
a regular basis, failure to which, he declares, they automatically fall
out of the covenant of God.
Pastor Emmanuel Makandiwa says that if a congregant fails to contribute money to his church, he or she loses contact with God

Emmanuel Makandiwa, founder of the UFIC church in Zimbabwe, has
introduced a minimum amount that every congregant must pay to remain in
his church.
He has further warned that those who
disagree or fail to comply with his stipulation should leave his church,
as they have lost the right to contact God, presumably through him.

Makandiwa's insistence on financial payments has however drawn the ire
of the public in Zimbabwe, with many questioning where Makandiwa expects
his congregants to get the money from given the dire economic situation
in that country.
Some say even Jesus Christ
himself never asked for money from his followers, and criticize
Makandiwa for exploiting the poor for his own gain.
To see Makandiwa exhorting his congregants to pay the contributions, watch the video below:
