The pastor reportedly spoke to a Malawian radio station, Capital Radio in the Straight Talk programme on Thursday addressing the issue of flaunting his wealth on social media.
He said: "You see, we men of God are rich just because people pay us for giving them blessings".
The pastor said that he had no worries with some Malawians hating him over the posts he makes on Facebook, the man of God whose sons have also joined him in boasting of the family's riches argued that everyone must have a group of haters.

"I wouldn't say that all Malawians hate me, there are others that love me lot. That's life anyway if there are some that love me, they have reason so do those that hate me"
" The reason that would make someone hate another would be jealousy and intimidation" said
