“I walk in here tonight, I realise I don’t have to explain. Believe, as you sit under the true God, what is true. If I getting lock-up is because you give it to me and you see exactly how I spend it,” he said to cheers from the gathering. “When you see bags and bags its because it’s all there.”

On December 31, Dayal went to the Central Bank with 28 boxes of old $100 bills and attempted to exchange them for the new polymer bills. That activity attracted the attention of the Financial Intelligence branch of the T&T Police Service and an investigation was launched.
Dayal said he still had a pile of cheques that had not yet been deposited.
During his sermon, he told the congregation that when he spoke with the police officers on Thursday, they “knew” he was different just by his voice.
“I tell the police that come here what kind of person I am. I only have to open my mouth and they know what kind of person I am,” he said.
He asked the church members whether he ever asked them for anything, whether he ever begged them for anything and they responded with a chorus of “nos”.
Despite his show of calm and faith, Dayal advised the congregation that if they were asked anything by anyone “outside” they should “give testimony, a nice one, glorify God, don’t make it too long”.
He took the Anglican church to task for saying he needed to declare how he amassed that amount of money and also bashed the Catholic church for “acting holier than thou.”
“I see they have this man in the newspaper, he said that Pastor Dayal have to declare how he get this, that’s the same people in the Anglican church under a homosexual man (name called) and all this filth they had in the Holy Trinity Cathedral,” he said referring to the fashion show with bikini-clad models held in the church a few weeks ago.
Dayal further claimed the Inter-Religious Organisation was “sitting and discussing” him and judging how his church is different from theirs.
“I was born and confirmed in an Anglican church and when I reach 12 years old, nobody had to tell me, I see it and I tell my mother, I not going back there you know,” he said.
He described the whole situation as one designed by the devil.
“This is our apostolic church in the last days, this is the Bible church. In three days I become so famous, everyone in the Caribbean know me. It reached as far as Africa and India until I started sending it to brothers. I am not ashamed. What I shame for? I do something wrong?
“Sometimes, it takes a crisis, truly you could see all things work together for good. If it takes that to bring everybody out tonight, what a great thing that is friends.”
Dayal listed the people persecuted in the Bible and said if he was arrested he would be in good company. He said it seemed that people outside the church just “want some action” which is why he was being targeted.
“You think Satan can break up something that Jesus built? The devil has a lot to learn.”
Dayal quoted from the Book of Daniel, saying God’s will was not a punishment.
“Is God punishing him? No, when he comes to that prison, he going to be the right hand of Pharoah, every knee shall bow Amen. Prisoner first, then vindicated son,” he said.”This is the reality.”
“You don’t have to give up when you going through hard times, friends. That’s when you dig your heels in,” he said.
During his prayer session, which was separate from the sermon, Dayal denounced those who “gave their own spin” to this matter.
“When testing time comes, that’s when they show their colours, what they really are but Lord God You stand by your people and make a spectacle of them. Though they try to slander and blacken them and give their own spin on things, Lord said he will never forsake you,” Dayal said.
Dayal, who said he had kept the word of the Lord for 45 years, held up one of the newspaper reports on the seizure of the millions of dollars from his church and warned the congregation to be wary of the articles they read.
“If you ain’t know what you reading, you gonna miss everything,” he said, adding some of the news reports were done to deliberately “give people direction”.
“Look here, look here . . . see? Person of interest, money, suspicion. Is it money laundering? Is it Al Qaeda, is it ISIS. What is it?” he asked.

Another foolish comment one who feels compelled to comment just for the sake of commenting.
The question is, why didn’t this man deposit the money in the bank instead of hoarding it at his residence?
Doesn’t that strike you as odd? Give it a rest, ole fella.
Really !
Will he be charged prosecuted clnvicyed
fined and or imprisoned.?
There is the answer !

There are con artists all over the world profiting from gullibility and stupidly, getting rich from millions of people who refuse to be curious and ask questions about the universe.
