Pastor Ng’ang’a Tearfully Discloses Struggles with Anger

Renowned Kenyan preacher Apostle James Ng’ang’a of the Neno Evangelism Centre has once again captured public attention, this time through a deeply emotional confession.

In a trending video, the televangelist broke down in tears as he admitted his long-standing battle with anger, acknowledging that despite repeated attempts, he has been unable to change his temperament.

Ng’ang’a likened himself to a pepper, saying it was impossible for him to transform into something sweet like sugarcane. He explained that he had tried to become softer and gentler, even attempting to walk slowly as a symbolic gesture of change, but all his efforts had failed. “Can a pepper change itself? Because I have failed to change myself. I have tried to change myself completely, and it has failed. I wanted to be a sugarcane, to be sweet. I have tried, but to no avail,” he confessed while wiping away tears. He pleaded with his followers and the public to understand him and forgive his shortcomings, citing his advanced age as a factor that makes change even harder.

Following his confession, Ng’ang’a prayed fervently, expressing that although he did not feel transformed at that moment, he was experiencing the grace of God. His emotional vulnerability sparked widespread reactions online.

Some netizens sympathized, encouraging him to worship “in Truth and Spirit,” while others criticized the irony of a man of God struggling with anger, especially given his history of controversial actions.

The confession comes in the wake of a related incident where Ng’ang’a slapped a congregant, Willy Mwangi, during a church service for dozing off. Initially, Mwangi accepted the preacher’s explanation that the slap was “holy” and even joked about being slapped again.

However, he later revealed that the incident had negatively impacted his livelihood as a coffee and melon hawker, as people mocked him and accused him of being bribed to remain silent.

Mwangi is now demanding accountability and compensation from Ng’ang’a, adding a legal dimension to the preacher’s struggles.

Pastor Ng’ang’a’s tearful admission highlights the tension between his fiery personality and the expectations placed upon spiritual leaders.

While his followers remain divided, some seeing his honesty as a sign of humility, others viewing it as an excuse for misconduct, the incident underscores the broader question of whether spiritual authority can coexist with unresolved personal flaws.
