Founder and General Overseer of Light House Chapel International, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, has sparked debate after declaring that musicians should not be paid for performing in church.
The man of God has insisted that music in worship must come from love for Christ, not financial gain.
“Be cautious of those who do things purely for money. In my church, I made it clear that I would not pay individuals to play instruments, because I can play them myself. I play the drums, piano, and guitar,” he told his congregation.
He also explained how in he started a music school for his children department sbtgat they can be trained to play in the church.

“I gathered all the children and created a music school, where every child is required to learn to play the piano. Now, every child in our church can play the piano.”
“No one can come and intimidate us in church by demanding money to sing. It’s absolute nonsense. Here, we don’t pay because it’s about loving Jesus. If that’s not your motivation, then you’re free to leave.” he stressed.
