- Pastor James Ng’ang’a has openly criticised Prophet David Owuor, sparking widespread public debate.
- He questioned miracle healing claims and the use of doctors during church services.
- Ng’ang’a also challenged Owuor’s prophetic record using an international example.
- The remarks have sparked debate, reviving discussions on faith, truth, and responsibility within churches.
Pastor James Ng’ang’a has once again stirred national debate after delivering a hard-hitting sermon aimed at Prophet David Owuor. Known for his outspoken style, Ng’ang’a accused the prophet of misleading followers and putting the Christian message at risk. His statements quickly drew attention, with Kenyans divided over whether he spoke the truth or crossed a line.
Central to Ng’ang’a’s criticism were claims of miraculous healing linked to Owuor’s gatherings. He questioned why churches would invite doctors and medical staff if people are said to be healed instantly through prayer. To Ng’ang’a, this raised serious questions about openness and honesty in church leadership.
He also claimed that some practices within Owuor’s ministry appear closer to traditional spiritual rituals than Christian teaching, a statement that challenged the spiritual basis of those healing claims.
Ng’ang’a further pointed to a past moment when Owuor publicly prayed for the President of Venezuela. He noted that soon after, the leader was arrested or detained following global political developments. Ng’ang’a argued that this incident exposed gaps in prophetic accuracy, asking why such an outcome was not foreseen or warned against.
In his view, prophecy that fails to match reality risks becoming a public display rather than a true message from God.
Beyond individual examples, Ng’ang’a expressed concern over what he described as growing “drama” in churches. He warned that exaggerated prophecies, dramatic miracles, and fear-based sermons could distract believers from the true message of the gospel. According to him, faith should be rooted in truth, humility, and responsibility rather than attention-seeking displays.
Supporters of Prophet Owuor strongly rejected Ng’ang’a’s remarks, calling them disrespectful and unnecessary. They argued that matters of faith cannot always be judged using logic and science, insisting that healing and prophecy operate on belief, not proof.
However, critics of Owuor welcomed the comments, saying they reflected concerns many believers quietly hold. To them, Ng’ang’a’s words opened a rare space for self-examination within religious circles.
The public exchange has exposed a wider challenge facing modern Christianity, balancing faith with accountability. As churches grow in influence and religious leaders gain massive followings, calls for truth, responsibility, and ethical leadership continue to grow louder.
While opinions differ on Ng’ang’a’s approach, his remarks have pushed many to reflect on where true faith ends and religious performance begins. In a society where church leaders hold strong influence, such debates may be uncomfortable, but they remain necessary to keep the gospel clear and trustworthy.
