Believers hand passports and cash to pastor, seek God’s help for visas

A group of believers has been seen dropping their passports and cash before a pastor, seeking divine intervention to secure a travel visa.

This unusual scene was captured in a viral post circulating on the popular social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter.

In the post, the pastor, joined by several of his followers, could be seen fervently praying, shaking intensely as they called on God’s favor.

As the prayers intensified, more individuals stepped forward, placing their passports and cash at the pastor’s feet, hoping for divine approval for their visa applications.

The post quickly gained traction online, prompting a flood of reactions from concerned users in the comment section, where many shared their thoughts on the practice.

See some reactions below:

@therealkay_guy: “White man will just pick his passport, check travel requirements, book flight and awaaay buss. For a black man to travel, he must avoid his family and friends, go to church, pray fervently, fast for 40 days and still travel on connection move.”

@KSnetne: “Faith is powerful, but let’s remember, God works in mysterious ways, but the embassy works with documents. Prayers and preparation go hand in hand!”

@JamesKwandoh: “Mental brain washing. Why don’t you pray to God alone.”

@emman_thompson: “For lack of knowledge, my people perish.”

@PieCee1z: “The concept of Tongues speaking is massively misunderstood by Christians today🤦It is not for prayer and that nonsense they been speaking as prayer oh 🤦 wetin be this at all.”

@MrDonewells: “I know this is meant to create some mischief but I see nothing strange and foolish about this. It’s an act of faith just like any other prayer.”

@Gordonguggis: “There is nothing wrong with this. It’s about your faith. If you don’t believe in it that’s fine. It’s about their faith simple. Those who don’t believe it’s ok, take your passport straight to the embassy and get your visa. Those who believe in this will also do it. That’s it.”

@DarrenGh1: “Before you critique them, remember we all have what works for us. If religion works for them, let them go ahead and do it. Don’t behave as if your way is the best. Have a great day.”
