Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, the founder and presiding bishop of Lighthouse Chapel International, has responded to the intense criticism that followed his recent comments on the underpayment of church musicians.
The well-known Ghanaian priest strongly reacted to people who threatened violence against him in a sermon given while on a trip to Sierra Leone.
He challenged them to carry out their threats and cited biblical principles to support his viewpoint.
Bishop Heward-Mills warned against assaulting people he regarded as divinely selected servants, citing scripture in his speech.
He said,
Come and slap me and see if there is oil on your hand… You are finished if you slap the anointing, because the Holy Spirit is not like Jesus, who would tolerate all of these things. If you like, go and touch His anointed.
Come and strike me because you don’t like my preaching, and you will see what becomes of you. You’re not dealing with a man, but with the Holy Spirit. God chooses who He puts His anointing on. He doesn’t anoint just anyone… You open your mouth and speak like a fool against someone who is anointed.
