Remember Pastor Victor Kanyari, the booming voice behind the infamous “Panda Mbegu” (plant a seed) movement? The preacher known for his extravagant lifestyle and miracle claims recently offered a glimpse into the origins of his controversial methods. His explanation? A desperate climb out of poverty fueled by a “broke anointing,” as he calls it.

From Free Blessings to Paid Miracles

Kanyari, self-proclaimed “top preacher” of his time, admits he initially offered blessings and miracles free of charge.

“I was broke,” he confesses, “Poverty had hit me hard.”

Then came the pivotal shift. Facing overwhelming financial struggles, Kanyari introduced the notorious Sh310 “seed.” “Do you know why I was asking for 310?” he asks, “It’s poverty.” In his eyes, this wasn’t exploitation, but an anointing for prosperity bestowed upon him by God.

But Kanyari’s claims haven’t always been met with applause. Years ago, he faced accusations of staging miracles using potassium permanganate, a chemical that turns water purple. The alleged trick? Asking congregants to step into water laced with the chemical, creating the illusion of disease being “washed away” through prayer.

Despite the controversies, Kanyari remains firm in his beliefs. He emphasizes that his faith, combined with hard work, fuels his success. This, he asserts, is the true meaning of his “anointing for prosperity.”

A Complex Morality Tale:

Pastor Kanyari’s story presents a complex moral quandary. Is his journey an inspiring anecdote of overcoming poverty through faith and hard work, or a cautionary tale of exploiting religious devotion for personal gain? The answer, of course, lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Whether you see him as a clever entrepreneur driven by faith or a charlatan leveraging vulnerability, Kanyari’s story undoubtedly raises questions about the intersection of religion, poverty, and financial success. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide how they interpret the rise and fall of the “Panda Mbegu” preacher.
