Correspondent|Controversial pastor Shepherd Bushiri returned to his sermons at the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church at the weekend, telling his followers that nothing can stop the power of God.

Congregants gathered at the Pretoria Show Grounds on Sunday in their thousands to witness the preacher in action.

Bushiri and his wife Mary were released on R100,00 bail each after being arrested on charges of fraud and money laundering.

Fanatical fans promised to interrupt the upcoming elections if their “daddy” was not released.

A video of the sermon has made its way on social media and it showed Bushiri having his congregation anoint themselves.

According to reports, Bushiri preached at his church, the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church, where he told his congregation nothing can stop the power of God.

The video of the sermon, which was dubbed the “Instant Miracles Sunday Service,” was posted on Prophet Shepherd Bushiri’s Facebook page.

Bushiri returned to the pulpit to preach over the weekend, promising his congregants that he was “here to stay.”

“I’m coming with a testimony. My story is changing. In the name of Jesus Christ. Today is a wonderful day when your past, your present and your future will be together. If you feel like a trip, your problem is over,” he said.

“As you leave this place, you must leave with this information. Major 1 is staying. It is done. It doesn’t matter what people are saying about you. Major 1 has said it is done,” he added.

The Pretoria Show Grounds had an overflow of people as thousands flocked to hear their “daddy” – the name they call Bushiri  – preach.

“I anoint you today in this year 2019. You will never be the same again. Put that oil on your head. My father, my father, I anoint myself. I am the word of your prophet,” he said.

However, the pastor has denied the claims against him, with his followers insisting that there is a vendetta against him.
