The pastor mixed the rat poison with water in a plastic bottle, saying he was demonstrating the power of faith by causing congregants to drink it.
He was said to have declared ‘life from above upon the water mixed with Rattex and spoke nourishment unto bodies and healing unto the sick’.
He held the plastic bottle up and members queued up to drink.
The church shared the photos on its Facebook timeline, indicating that after he (the pastor) drank from the bottle, a multitude of congregants voluntarily ran to the front to partake of the deadly poison.
