Brother Sammy confidently stated on a UTV national television program that engaging in BETTING is not a wrongdoing, urging people to refrain from using Christianity to instill fear.

He disregarded the biblical reference in Proverbs 13:11 regarding gambling and the warnings from Christians about the obsession with riches.

The bible talks of how Christians shouldn’t acquire wealth through dishonest means, and gambling can sometimes be seen as a form of trying to gain wealth through chance rather than honest labour.

In a recent interview with UTV, Broda Sammy noted that many Christian followers have benefited from the positive outcomes of participating in staking lotto.

He even highlighted a church building that was financed through lotto winnings.

“Staking lotto is not a sin. I don’t see anything wrong with it. We create a big fuss out of everything. I remember a pastor who benefited from staking a lotto to help build his church. I mean, I don’t see anything wrong with it,” Broda Sammy stated.

His comments have sparked mixed reactions on social media.
