She started on the right footing and her sermons were pleasing to the ears and minds. “I don’t know what went wrong; she suddenly deviated from the ways of the scripture by proclaiming hellfire verdict on every act with her self-imposed rules as the standard. She condemns every act, food and drinks.” “We are all in the vineyard of God. We are in the gospel business together but I think she has gone overboard with her preaching and the number of things she forbids for members of her church. “There was a time some of her evangelists came to the CCC to distribute their pamphlets to our members detailing the dos and don’ts of the church. But we told them we were not interested. “There are scriptural ways of teaching the Bible and it is not allowed for anyone to rewrite or add to the laid-down scriptural rules and in the process bring in new innovations. This is not accepted. “It is unfortunate that Mama RAPEC is quick to commit her listeners to hellfire. To her, it is forbidden for a male to wear bushy hair. I know of someone who went into her church to worship but was sent back at the entrance because of his afro hairstyle. “Even at RAPEC, choir members are not allowed to use the gangan traditional talking drum. If they do, according to Mummy G.O, they will go to hellfire. “Christianity is a peaceful religion but some evangelists are making it hellish for Christians. Our God is not a wicked God.” “Mama RAPEC not only regulates what members’ wear, but she also forbids them from saying hello to begin a telephone conversation. “She has brainwashed all members of her church to the point that they don’t have a mind of their own. They pattern their life according to the teachings of Mummy G.O.”
