Prophet Samuel Kakande has stirred controversy with his recent announcement regarding dream prayers, asking individuals to pay $300 for the promise of their dreams coming true.
Known for his healing and deliverance ministries at the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Kampala, Uganda, Kakande’s introduction of this new service has sparked debate among both supporters and critics.
In a video circulating on social media, Kakande urges his followers to write down their dreams and attach them to an email addressed to the ministry, along with the required fee.
He emphasizes that dreams will undergo intense prayer for three weeks on the prayer mountain.
While some see this as an opportunity for divine intervention in their lives, others question the ethics of charging money for spiritual services.
Critics argue that such practices contradict the principles of faith and compassion, asserting that religion should not be commodified, and spiritual guidance should be accessible to all, regardless of financial status.
However, Kakande’s supporters defend his actions, pointing to the resources required to sustain the church’s ministries and operations, including the construction of a multibillion-dollar building in Mulago, which will house the mega church, a hotel, health club, and a shopping center.
This controversy reflects ongoing concerns about pastors in Uganda exploiting their congregations by charging money for spiritual deliverance.
Pentecostal Churches, once revered as sacred, are increasingly viewed as business ventures.
As Ugandans grapple with the intersection of faith, commerce, and spirituality, the debate continues.
