This is different. Internet users have been left confused following the unconventional method used by a pastor to anoint his church members during service.

The pastor who wore red, black and white attire and was full of vibrancy during the service - used buckets of water and soap to anoint his congregation.

The members were urged to rob an "anointed soap" on their faces while kneeling in front of the pastor who later washed the soap off with water.

Online users have reacted to the new development by the pastor - with many criticizing his method.
