Pastor James Ng’ang’a, the controversial founder of Neno Evangelism, recently made headlines by claiming he had a brief visit to heaven.
During a church service, he shared his experience, describing a beautiful carpet and vibrant flowers he encountered. This revelation left many congregants both intrigued and puzzled.
In a viral video, Pastor Ng’ang’a recounted, “I went to heaven the other day. I saw a nice carpet. They didn’t allow me to see more. It was a lovely carpet.
I have never seen something like that. I also saw flowers.” His remarks sparked a range of reactions online, with some netizens humorously questioning the limitations placed on his heavenly view.
Reactions from the public varied, with one user joking, “Juu wangekuruhusu oene zaidii unge iimba kila kitu,” suggesting that if he had been allowed to see more, he would have revealed everything.
Others expressed skepticism about the pastor’s claims, poking fun at his previous statements and the overall narrative surrounding religious experiences.
In a lighter moment, Pastor Ng’ang’a had previously advised unmarried individuals to find partners quickly, jokingly stating that singles should stay away from his church if they were not ready to commit.
This earlier ultimatum had generated significant attention, further contributing to his reputation as a polarizing figure in the Kenyan religious landscape.
Pastor Ng’ang’a’s claims echo a trend among some pastors who assert they have had divine experiences, including visions of heaven. For instance, Pastor John Anosike recently stated that a popular dance trend was demonic after a similar heavenly encounter.
