This is the moment a Zimbabwean pastor shouts “are you seeing the power of God” as a woman drops to her knees, screams and poos in front of applauding devotees after being unable to defecate for nearly two weeks.

The unusual church service was held by Prophet T Freddy, founder of the Goodness and Mercy Ministries in Zimbabwe, and the footage is going viral on social media after being shared on 24th October.

In the footage, the woman apparently says that she has gone 12 days without defecating and the pastor encourages her to take centre stage while repeatedly shouting into the microphone “come out!”

The woman then drops to her knees and hitches up her skirt.

In the more graphic second video, Prophet T Freddy is heard repeatedly asking the congregation “are you seeing the power of God now?”

The woman then starts defecating on the ground while screaming and the crowd applauds the ‘miracle’ while one or two cover their faces.

After the video was widely shared online, many netizens slammed the incident as staged and called on religious leaders to perform their ‘miracles’ with more dignity.

Some online users even called for more government regulations on churches while calling for certain groups to be banned.

Netizen ‘Dabson Mhofu Kanyoka’ commented: “This guy must be arrested, he is exploiting people with mental illness.”

‘Dr. Denver’ said: “I’m all for free expression and not impinging on people’s faiths but this is not anything near normal. This is just a huge scam. It must be stopped.”

‘Simiso’ wrote: “Some ‘churches’ should just be banned.”
