Some Members of the Empowerment City International Church in Bloemfontein South Africa where pictured struggling to worship the shoes of their prophet identified as Pastor Mackenzie.

The photos trending online shows some South African worshippers kneeling at the feet of the pastor.

The photos which were shared on the Facebook page of Prophet Jacob Mackenzie of Empowerment City International Church in Bloemfontein, outraged a lot of people as they slammed the congregants for worshipping the prophet.

The photos were shared last Sunday and were captioned: “Sunday service update. The Bezalel anointing. Raw power.”

Social media users said people should read the word of God more carefully and obey his commandment that Christians must not idolize anything or anyone.

Sphiwe Nkosi said:“These people seem to be worshipping this man rather than God. Not acceptable at all.

Another social media user wrote; So unfortunate!!!..Christianity is becoming a joke..shaa these are all signs of d end. They will go home and comeback with the same problems in their life next Sunday except for divine intervention ( that has nothing to do with kissing this man’s ass) …..tell me how this pastor wont get carried away and misbehave with all this worshipping.

Meanwhile, the man of God and some of his followers have been in support of the tendency.
