Should Instrumentalist Collect Money For Playing In Church?

The idea of instrumentalists and musicians collection money for service they render to the church of God, rather than doing it for free as part of their service of preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, is one of the major topics discussed among Christian musicians and pastors.

However, pastors and musicians have come out to defend their stands on these issues, but it gets brutal as controversial cleric leader, Pastor David Antwi openly described anyone that plays the church instruments and collects money is a thief.

The general overseer of the Kharis Church, Pastor David Antwi was seen in one of the viral videos that surfaced online recently, saying that instrumentalists who demand money for playing in church as a thief and also referring them as a satanic cousin. “You’re a thief if you play church instruments and collect money.” the pastor said.

Reacting in an Instagram post, Sammie  Okposo said the pastor’s statement was “uninformed and misguiding”, questioning who ordained him.

“Who is this oh my goodness oh my God who is this please which church is this who is this pastor why why why how can you be making such uninformed and misguided statements????”

“I dont know who you are and i dont know what you said before and after this clip but this clip right here is wrong on every level
i have no personal beef with you im not against you

“I’m against this statement and the mindset behind it, some musicians serve as volunteers in their home churches but the ones who decide that they want to get paid cos they do it full time as their main source of lively hood should be paid

“Why are you insulting and publicly shaming professional musicians who work in church and earn a living with their skill calling them thieves????

“And they are satan’s first cousin??? please sir what bible school did you attend that you were taught what you are saying?
who ordained you???

“which bible verse/verses can you use to back up what you are saying? ok lets just assume this your theory is correct you that preach in church and collect church money,honourarium,love offering etc”WHAT ARE YOU”???
Smmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
