While some find it hilarious that a renowned religious app would send such message, others were rather outraged and disturbed by what "Sprinkle of Jesus" has been sending to thousands of people. Most of them have called out the online community to address the issue, while there were also some who are asking other users to delete the mobile app.
"Sprinkle of Jesus" more like Sprinkle of the world, is leading many people astray so easily. Don't be easily fooled, false prophets exist.

According to Reuters, the news publication said their mobile app was "compromised" and offered their apologies for the inconvenience. Aside from this, the news portal refused to give further details on the matter.
