A pastor, David Ochieng, has shut down his church in Uganda after winning over N100 million from a sports bet.
It was gathered that Ochieng closed down his church after he won the bet with about N1 million.
Speaking on the closure which left members of his congregation stranded, the pastor disclosed that he was not genuinely called.
Ochieng revealed that he chose to work as a pastor as a means of survival, adding that he decided to close down the church after getting ways of making money.
He said: “I must admit that I opened this church due to ‘greed’ but not anointing. I saw how several pastors make money through the crowds they have and making fake prophesies to attract more.

“As time went on, I realised this wasn’t right, I started having sleepless nights, and I would always have weird dreams.
“Before I opened this church, everything was normal on my side; even without money, I didn’t get any strange dreams, so I decided to abolish this and look for other ways of making money.
“So one day, a notification pops up on my phone about fixed games. It was an interesting story, and I followed it to the dot. I got the website link, and sacrificed the 1m I had to pay for these games.
“Surprisingly, it took me about a month to receive the games. They told me they had issues with their system and also the process of securing games takes time, I almost gave up and called them scammers but they contacted me with the details. I went full swing; I got an odd of 700.
“I had to stop the church because I had got my ways of making money. I have made a lot that I never imagined I would ever get in my life,” the pastor disclosed.
