A dramatic moment unfolded during a church service when a woman attending Pastor James Ng’ang’a’s service suddenly attempted to confront him in front of the entire congregation. The scene, captured in a widely circulated video, sparked a wave of mixed reactions online, with many unsure whether to treat it as a serious spiritual matter or a staged incident for attention.
In the video, the woman is seen being held by an usher as she appears agitated, repeatedly demanding to fight the pastor. Speaking into a microphone, she declared, “I am going to beat you. I am fully armed. We are five. I have no problem with the mzungu. I want to fight you. You have been saving people. I do not want you to save people. You cannot know me. I want to fight you.”
The atmosphere turned tense until the pastor responded by praying over her and touching her forehead. This caused the woman to fall to the ground and roll around, appearing overwhelmed by spiritual power. Moments later, when she was asked about her actions, she seemed confused and remorseful, claiming she had no recollection of what had just happened. Tearfully, she said, “I cannot remember. I cannot fight a man of God. I would never fight a man of God. No, I cannot.”
Reactions from viewers ranged from laughter to skepticism. Some questioned whether the woman was truly possessed or simply acting. A few joked that it looked like a performance fit for television, with comments like “This is now on Netflix” and “See the acting skills.” Others suggested the woman may have been paid or that she was under pressure from life’s challenges, prompting such dramatic behavior.
This isn’t the first time the preacher has found himself at the center of controversy. In a separate incident, a video once showed him slapping a church member who had dozed off during the sermon. After delivering the slap, he asked the man to move to the back of the church before eventually ordering him to leave altogether. That incident drew widespread condemnation, with many accusing the pastor of being physically abusive and calling for people to stop attending his services.
However, the man who was slapped had a surprising perspective. He later revealed that he considered the slap a blessing and said he wouldn’t mind receiving another one. He even contacted the pastor later to say he had been having troubling dreams and felt that the incident had brought him spiritual clarity.
Both episodes highlight the intense and sometimes controversial nature of services conducted by the preacher, whose methods have frequently sparked public debate. While some people believe his actions stem from genuine spiritual power, others see them as theatrical, attention-grabbing stunts that blur the line between faith and performance.
