The General Overseer of the Great Fire Pentecostal Church, Bishop Bonegas, has sparked intense debate with his blunt demand for financial support from congregants, warning those unwilling to pay to take their problems elsewhere.
In an Instagram interview posted on May 19, 2025, via Zionfelix, Bishop Bonegas unapologetically defended the practice of pastors receiving money from church members, highlighting the financial realities of running a church.
“I don’t see any problem with paying pastors for their services. The money we take from church members is the same money we use to keep the church in operation,” he said, comparing church expenses to those in hotels and other businesses.
The fiery cleric further challenged critics by stating, “If you can go to a funeral and spray money, then don’t find a problem with giving me money. Don’t forget I am the one who can take your problems away. If you have a problem with giving me money, then take your problems away.”
Bishop Bonegas insisted that believers should willingly support their pastors if asked, but condemned those who exploit congregants under false pretenses. “What I don’t like is a pastor tricking people with their anointing,” he added.
