Few months ago, the news was allover the Internet about a South African Pastor named Penuel Mnguni who would feed live snake to members of his church during miracle hour. According to one of the video clips online, the pastor once directed his members to eat grass quoting Mark 16:17-18 as his back up. He said that particular bible verse gave him power to feed his congregation to prove the power of God but after watching TB Joshua, he realized he was wrong and headed to Nigeria to meet with him and equally seek for deliverance.

According to statement released by the Synagogue Church of All Nation on their official Facebook page, the pastor has now realized that what he's been doing were all wrong

‘SNAKE PASTOR’ GIVES PUBLIC CONFESSION: 

Pictures showing Pastor Penuel Mnguni, popularly known as the ‘Snake Pastor’, feeding snakes to his members in South Africa as a purported demonstration of God’s power went viral across the globe, making headlines in newspapers and online media worldwide. However, Pastor Mnguni of the ‘End Time Disciples Ministries’, did not stop there. He went further by driving a car over some of his members, feeding parts of a live rat to congregants, locking another in a deep freezer for over thirty minutes and causing yet more to strip off their clothes during his wild church services. Pastor Mnguni was arrested for his activities and faced backlash from both human and animal rights groups but despite the global outrage sparked by his actions, he vowed to continue unperturbed.

Series of weird miracles performed by Mnguni

Thus, when Pastor Mnguni somberly came forward during The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) service, it was a shock to many. Penuel told the congregation that he had read certain Scriptures such as Mark 16:17-18 which led him to believe he could feed his congregants with strange items to prove the power of God. However, he admitted that after discovering Emmanuel TV and beginning to listen to Prophet T.B. Joshua’s teachings, he realised his activities were “not Scriptural”. He therefore requested for prayers from Prophet T.B. Joshua for deliverance from the spirit that pushed him to engage in such bizarre, inhumane actions.
