Bishop Daniel Obinim, the founder and leader of the International God's Way Church, has cautioned his congregants against leaving his church.

He said any member who flouted that directive would face dire consequences, including several spiritual attacks.

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, Bishop Obinim suggested that members of the International God's Way Church, also known as Abroso, were not permitted to worship at any other church apart from his.

"I don't want to see any Abroso member going to another church for prayers, because if a non-member visits the church and later leaves, it's okay. However, if you, as a staunch member, leave to join another church, you will have a spiritual problem with me. What are you going there to look for?

"If I catch any Abroso member visiting another church, I will have a spiritual problem with you. Ask any elder what it means to have a spiritual problem with someone. I don't understand why you always go there. Is it marriage? Is it financial help? Or is it a medical condition?" he added.

He said the only condition under which an Abroso member was allowed to seek help outside his church was on medical grounds.

The Ghanaian preacher is famed for his performed miracles and sharing controversial religious views.
