Bettin, lottery and piercing is not a sin – Brother Sammy argues

Ghanaian
gospel
musician
Brother
Sammy,
popularly
known
as
the
‘Nation’s
Worshipper,’
has
given
rise
to
a
hot
conversation
piece
on
the
internet.

As
stated
by
Brother
Sammy,
betting,
lotto,
and
body
piercings
are
not
sinful.

Speaking
on
UTV’s
United
Showbiz,
Brother
Sammy
urged
Christians
to
stop
using
religion
to
judge
others
over
personal
lifestyle
choices.

During
the
interview,
Brother
Sammy
argued
that
many
Christians
pray
for
financial
breakthroughs
but
dismiss
betting
as
a
viable
means
of
earning
money.

He
criticized
the
double
standards
of
some
pastors
who
condemn
betting
yet
allow
their
children
to
participate
in
lotteries
abroad.

“People
want
quick
income,
and
betting
is
one
way
to
achieve
that,”
he
stated,
urging
a
more
open-minded
approach.

Brother
Sammy
also
acknowledged
that,
although
he
has
never
staked
lotto
himself,
he
sees
no
reason
to
preach
against
it.

He
recounted
knowing
individuals
who
have
used
their
betting
winnings
to
contribute
to
church-building
projects.

“I
wouldn’t
preach
against
it,”
he
said,
emphasizing
the
positive
impact
that
some
betting
earnings
have
had
within
religious
communities.
