ABSTRACT
In 2014, Pastor Lesego of Rabboni Centre Ministries took South Africans by surprise when he fed his congregants grass and made them drink petrol. In February 2019, Pastor Alph Lukau of Alleluia Ministries appeared in a video where he raised a man from the dead in his church. Pastors abuse religion in order to make more money because the greater the miracles the pastor performs, the greater the numbers of people who flock to the church, and the more money the pastors receive. The pastors in the fourth wave have the ability to pull crowds, and one of the methods they use is the abuse of religion. Competition is so high that some pastors of the fourth wave will send spies to other ministries to find out how they are performing in order to outperform them or do better that than what they are doing.
