Pastor Ezekiel in the Spotlight After VIDEO Resurfaces of Him Pouring Announting Water on Congregants

A fresh video featuring Newlife Church founder Pastor Ezekiel Odero has ignited debate across social media after capturing an unusual prayer session at his Kilifi-based church.

In the clip, Pastor Ezekiel is seen dressed in his signature white attire, moving around the altar as congregants lay on the floor covered with lesos. He then opens bottles of water and begins sprinkling the contents on the worshippers as prayers continue.

As the service progresses, several church assistants trail him with more bottles, ensuring the water keeps flowing.

The women on the altar are seen rolling, standing abruptly, and walking in circles as the preacher shouts fervent prayers, creating a dramatic scene that quickly drew attention online.

The video triggered mixed reactions from Kenyans. Some viewers described the moment as spiritually powerful, while others questioned the symbolism and purpose of the water.

A number of commenters jokingly compared the water to popular bottled brands, while skeptics asked why men were largely absent from the scene.

Others defended the preacher, arguing that faith manifests differently for believers and should not always be subjected to public scrutiny.

The contrasting opinions highlighted the deep divide in how Kenyans view modern evangelical practices.

This is not the first time Pastor Ezekiel has trended. Months earlier, he went viral after a bold Gen Z woman challenged him during a service, demanding clear answers on tithing and prayer without lengthy explanations.

The exchange amused many, with online users praising the young woman’s confidence while others defended the pastor’s calm response.

Separately, Ezekiel has also sparked controversy with his views on marriage. In a sermon, he dismissed lavish wedding ceremonies as misleading displays that hide the real struggles of married life.

He argued that weddings often prioritise image and pride over honesty about marital challenges.

As with many of his teachings and methods, Pastor Ezekiel continues to attract both loyal supporters and vocal critics, keeping him firmly at the centre of Kenya’s religious and social conversations.
