"Lord, let their wives be barren. Let all fruitfulness be cursed from them. I curse their generations with chaos in their families," he passionately declared.

"Let your pestilence fall on them. Let there be sickness from the root of their family to the generations yet unborn. Epileptic, Hepatitis, HIV, madness, let it fall upon them," he added.

The pastor's emotional outburst has sparked varied reactions online, with many expressing amusement and disbelief.

Belinda Sosu commented, "The man is pained, it's like showing your girlfriend different styles and she leaves you to practice them with another guy—the pain!"

Others, like Owusu Afriyie Samuel, questioned the pastor's actions, likening God to a "hired assassin."

Barbie Bigail Amankwaah sympathetically noted, "He did that out of pain; members can frustrate pastors, papa." Meanwhile, Ɔdadeɛ Chris Fiifi Johnson humorously speculated on future family ties, asking, "What if one of his kids gets married to these pastors' kids one day? Is he going to reverse it? Lol."
