Prophet Uebert Angel, has criticized gospel musicians who demand payment before ministering at church events, describing the practice as unbiblical.
Speaking during a recent church service, the Zimbabwean-born preacher expressed disappointment, saying that many artists have turned ministry into a business enterprise.
He acknowledged that while supporting gospel musicians financially is important and fair, the demand for upfront fees as a condition to perform at church gatherings distorts the purpose of worship.
Prophet Angel urged gospel artists to focus on spiritual impact rather than profit, emphasizing that the early church grew through sacrifice and service, not financial negotiation.
His comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporting his stance as a call for purity in ministry, while others argued that musicians deserve compensation for their time, skill, and dedication.
Prophet Uebert Angel, who also serves as a Presidential Envoy and Ambassador-at-Large for Zimbabwe, is known for his outspoken views on faith, leadership, and integrity within the modern church.
