The God’s Spirit Touch Church International, a.k.a. Chosen Chapel, reportedly charged N5,000 as 'deliverance fees' , among its members for rebuilding of the church following damages from erosion.

A receipt which surfaced online indicates a man paid the sum of N5,000 to purchase ‘deliverance’ at the church located in Calabar, southern Nigeria.

A church official admitted to Premium Times that the receipt emanated from the church and the money was meant as contribution to rebuild the church following damages from erosion.

“To say the truth as a child of God, the money was contribution for rebuilding the church because we’ve been battling with erosion,” the official, who identified himself as Prophet Osuala said.

“We’ve written to NDDC (Niger Delta Development Commission) for support but no response came,” Mr. Osuala said.

When asked why the fee was billed as going into deliverance purposes when it was for construction, Mr. Osuala said members are allowed to make donations “anyhow they like.”
“They’re sowing a seed, so it’s doesn’t matter how it’s done,” the pastor said.
