The Jambonewspot, back in February reported that Pastor Thomas Wahome of Helicopter of Christ Church is charging his congregation Sh1,000 (US$11,60) each to check if their names are written in the book of life.
"I am shocked. My friends told me their names are in the Book of Life and I should also go to check if I will be allowed into Heaven," says Sheila Mbaya, a married mother of one.
Last year, Pastor Wahome was charging Sh1, 200 ($13.92) to anyone who wanted to touch his clothes promising they will be healed from all their ailments.
It echoes the story in the Bible where a woman touched Jesus' clothes and was healed of her bleeding problem.
In 2011, Wahome was involved in a divorce case with his estranged wife who demanded Sh300,000 ($3480) for upkeep.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Leah Mueni said Wahome earns millions from tithes, offerings and from selling anointing oil and water.
Mueni accused Wahome of spending thousands of shillings on a lavish lifestyle while she and the children were left languishing in poverty.
She was seeking an order requiring Wahome to give her two vehicles saying the pastor owns a Toyota Prado, a Lexus, two Mercedes Benz and a Pajero.
On his part, Wahome wanted the court to order that the children undergo a DNA test first, to establish their paternity.
