A new video circulating on social media shows preacher and media personality Lucy Natasha promoting a bottle of “anointing oil” being sold at KSh 194,000, triggering strong reactions among netizens — from admiration to outright criticism.
In the video, Lucy appears meditatively pouring a shimmering oil into a bottle, while describing its spiritual properties and suggesting it carries potent divine power. She mentions the price — KSh 194,000 — leaving many polarized.
Supporters called it bold and faith-driven: “When you’ve got it, you can share abundance,” one fan commented. Others were more skeptical, questioning whether spiritual blessings should be priced so steeply and challenging the ethics of marketing religious items.
Some critics accused the move of materialising faith, arguing that selling a product with spiritual claims at such a price dangles hope in exchange for money. “Faith should offer healing, not exploitation,” posted another netizen.
Others defended Lucy, saying her reputation and ministry already give her credibility. They view the offering as a premium spiritual tool for those who can afford it, similar to masterclass or coaching services.
This video — part promotional, part spiritual act — opens a broader debate: where is the line between ministry and commerce, between faith manifestation and monetisation? When spiritual tools carry high prices, questions of access, sincerity, and accountability follow.
Whether Lucy’s video is seen as pioneering or problematic, it underscores how faith leaders today must navigate perception, integrity, and audience expectation in the digital age.
