Pastor James Ng’ang’a has recently opened up about an unusual and spiritually troubling incident involving a woman who sent him an unsolicited photo, despite knowing that he is a married man. The preacher, known for his fiery sermons and controversial statements, addressed the matter openly during a church service, sharing both his reaction and his interpretation of the situation’s deeper spiritual implications.
While speaking at the altar, the pastor revealed that the photo in question featured the woman’s thighs. He described the moment with a mix of disbelief and spiritual reflection, emphasizing the importance of guarding one’s mind and spirit from such intrusions. He made it clear that he did not reach out to the woman after receiving the image, choosing instead to reflect on the significance of her actions.
According to the pastor, viewing such an image is more than just a physical act—it carries spiritual consequences. He likened the unsolicited photo to the transmission of a negative spiritual force. “When you see the thighs, what is next after that?” he questioned the congregation, warning that opening and viewing the image symbolically opens one up to harmful spiritual influences.
The preacher stressed his identity and spiritual standing, stating, “We are talking about Apostle Ng’ang’a,” to underline his refusal to entertain such advances or allow himself to be distracted from his spiritual duties. His message seemed aimed not only at condemning the woman’s actions but also at educating his followers about the unseen battles believers face in their walk of faith.
The incident quickly sparked a wave of humorous and cheeky reactions online. Social media users, never shy when it comes to satire, flooded comment sections with jokes, requests, and disbelief. Some playfully asked the pastor to forward the image to them, while others questioned the authenticity of the story or suggested that they too were interested in joining pastoral ministry if it led to such attention.
The reactions ranged from playful disbelief to outright mockery, with one user remarking, “You are in Thighland,” while another joked, “Pastor, forward them. You cannot be happy alone.” Others expressed surprise that such images were being sent to elderly pastors, with one user sarcastically asking where the church was located so they could attend.
The pastor’s reaction and online commentary highlight the intersection of modern digital temptations and spiritual leadership. It also serves as a reminder of the challenges religious figures face in maintaining moral integrity and setting an example in an increasingly provocative digital world.
In another recent development, the preacher shared highlights from his trip to the United States, where he reportedly received monetary gifts from well-wishers. He disclosed that he used part of those contributions as a down payment on a high-end vehicle valued at KSh 14 million, leaving a balance of KSh 6 million. Jokingly referring to the luxury car as “small,” he encouraged his congregation to help him complete the payment.
During the same service, several men believed to be leaders within the church were seen sitting on the floor, a moment that also drew strong reactions online. The pastor’s ability to mix serious spiritual commentary with controversial and often humorous public moments continues to attract widespread attention and debate.
