A video circulating on social media has sparked reactions after church members were seen striking the ground repeatedly with canes during a church service.
According to reports, the unusual act happened after their pastor instructed them to hit the ground as a symbolic way of “beating Satan” and destroying evil forces.
In the viral video, several congregants could be seen passionately whipping the floor with sticks and canes while prayers and chants continued in the background.
The incident has since generated mixed reactions online, with many social media users expressing surprise over the spiritual exercise.
While some Christians defended the act as a prophetic direction and a spiritual demonstration of faith, others questioned the practice and described it as strange.
Religious activities and prophetic demonstrations in some churches have often sparked debate on social media, especially when videos from services go viral.
Despite the criticism, supporters of the church insist spiritual practices differ across ministries and should not always be judged by outsiders.
The identity of the church and the pastor involved has not yet been officially confirmed.
