Local pastor curses in church after using offering to place a bet and loses

Pastor Walubendi (not his real name), is my pastor and a man of calm demeanor, except when he is in the pulpit in combat with the devil. He volleyed and thundered, putting on a different personality.

First things first; one Sunday morning during the English service, Mr Walubendi deliberately skipped a verse. Despite efforts by the lay reader to correct this, he pressed on.
