Comedian/Satirist Kweku Sintim-Misa has expressed dismay over what Christianity has turned into in Ghana, where people ‘sow seeds’ in expectation of being rewarded handsomely by God.
KSM said that mindset is leading to a decline in spirituality and is making religion lose influence.
The comedian’s complaints come in the wake of the infamous ICGC Greater Works ‘Special Offering’ debacle, plus an increasingly growing culture of this ‘seed sowing’ ministries just exploding in the country.
These so-called ‘prosperity’ preachers teach that the more you give, the more blessings you receive from God – epitomised by the fact that paying $5,000 could earn you ‘millionaire status’ at ICGC’s Greater Works.
But KSM said people with that mindset are trying to ‘bribe’ God with money and are losing the entire essence of Christianity.

“SOWING THE SEED OF FAITH”
I have never really understood this concept. I don’t get it. For those who believe in it, and there are many, I thank God for you. This article is not to JUDGE you. Who am I to Judge what you do with your money. Power to you.
I personally just cannot wrap my head around this whole concept of “influencing” God’s decisions with money. I was in church once when the Pastor called for the sowing of seed faith: He added: “If you come and you sow with GH 2 or 5, please do not expect God to give you the same blessing that he will give to those sowing with GH100 and more.” In short, God was dishing out blessings based on how much money you had.
