A few weeks back, I read about a guy in Calabar who was arrested for the murder of his dad. When caught, he confessed he killed him because his pastor said his dad was responsible for all his misfortunes in life and said for him to progress, his dad had to die. The pastor was arrested but claimed all he did was pass across a revelation from God and he didn't ask the guy to kill his dad. SERIOUSLY?
I was born a catholic who later metamorphosed into a Pentecostal churchgoer. Despite this, I never let go of some traditions such as, praying to Holy Mary and believing in the power of intercession. I found out that Pentecostal churches increased my zeal to pray or made me a prayer warrior to speak. But my catholic upbringing made me skeptical about some abrupt miracles.
So when my friend invited me to her church, I was open to a new experience and tagged along. I definitely needed to strengthen my Christian life. It was hours of praises and worship and I had never felt better basking in the presence of the Lord.
Then he ordered all to keep quiet as he just had a revelation. Someone in the congregation needed help. This unknown person had tried his hands on several ventures for years without success, and won’t attain any headway unless he came out to the pulpit. Minutes later, a haggard looking young man emerged and the crowd erupted in cheers, hailing the pastor for his accuracy.
“Your grandmother is behind all the evil which has befallen you for the last five years”. I froze. I didn't hear this man or well, Man of God right. “And, she has to DIE for you to succeed. She is evil, a witch and keeps sapping all the youth out of you to stay alive.” The worshipers erupted in cheers as they kept chanting “Die, die, she must die”. At this point in time, I slumped to my seat to the surprise of the members of congregation seated next to me.
“We have another one here”, I heard a man yell. I looked at him like he was crazy. Then I saw 3 hefty ushers coming towards me and realized what he meant by another one” a possessed girl”. They mistook the fact that I sat down during the intensity of the prayers as being possessed. .Yes, I was possessed. Possessed by rage, possessed by shock and disbelief, possessed by anger
So, I picked up my purse to the surprise of my friend who invited me there and made towards the door.
Stop her. The pastor screamed. "Stop that evil from leaving" A female usher made to block me, I gave her the stare and said “If you stand in my
But as I walked out, I thought to myself. Was I being judgmental? What right did I have to question the authority of a Man of God? Then I cast my mind back to a few years back when a pastor told an Igbo businessman that his enemy had planted some evil charms in his new house. The pastor said he should pray fervently for the enemy to die. After the prayer, he said the enemy would be found dead in 3 days. 3 days later, thieves attacked the best friend of the business man and shot him dead, unfortunately for them they were caught by vigilante as they made to escape. They weren't thieves. One was the assistant of that pastor. While being tortured, they confessed they had to kill the best friend to validate the pastor’s claims that an enemy was trying to kill the business man.
I am not saying there are no real men of God out there.... but bringing my mind back to the present
If I were that young man, what would I do to my grandmother when I got home knowing my pastor said she is behind all my misfortunes in life?
Your guess is as good as mine….
So, I wasn't surprised when I inquired and heard she passed on in her sleep…..How convenient.
I AM SPEECHLESS BY THIS WRITEUP. ANY PASTOR WHO SAYS THIS SHOULD BE ARRESTED.

Emeh i love you for writing about this. It is really sad how some so called pastors send people to commit murder,directly or indirectly. They should be jailed
ReplyDeleteDo not abuse the word love in vain.U love her article not her phoooool. Back to the matter, i know a woman who killed her kids and self just because her pastor said she should give the church all her belongings and then set herself on fire in other to ask for Gods forgivenes for having children outside wedlock.it was years later the pastors aide confessed.Sad
DeleteDon't trust all these 'men of God'. There are some good ones though

ReplyDeleteChoi this is serious.Lying pastor
ReplyDeleteI heard of one. The woman's son is in the US and he sends money to his mum to to build a house for him and also for her well being. Being a mother she was going to one miracle church so tins will always be well for her son. I have no idea why she went to d pastor for special prayers, but she did and d pastor said he needed to speak to her son personally. The innocent agreed and gave d pastor her son's number. Only for d pastor to call d boy and tell him his mother was d witch disturbing him. The boy stopped calling his mother and d pastor continued building the house for d boy!
ReplyDeletelooooool wow thats terrible!
DeleteEmeh... You been go spiritual things abi? hehehhhehehehehehe. Be careful where you go o for not all who call Lord Lord are for real. Too many fetish people are standing behind pulpits perverting the word of God without fear or trembling. There are some "churches" that have become a den of thieves. Spiritual, Physical and emotional thieves and blackmailers.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to a known church o. when it came time to seed, within that week, i happened to see the pastor before service. where i say make i go great am. we got talking and before i could say jack he, The pastor specifically asked for a certain amount i should seed with... Like he is God to answer my prayer! Where i for see almost 200k? Stopped going there for almost 2/3months. I took off!
Thank God you bailed out. Some are not so lucky. Before you know what they'll plant a certain seed in your heart and that's what will hunt u until they tell u the next step. Without they say so, you'd be in their bondage. That's how they prey on women who think they are barren and a host of other desperate individuals.
My peers, please be careful where you go! Be careful where you go! Be careful where you go! Too many sad stories and scandals coming from places that are supposed to be the House of God. God isn't the author of confusion and can not in anyway be mocked... so what ever church u hear has one questionable comma or full stop..... please remove your LB shoes and run..... Don't look back.
Lool 200k seed. Dem suppose flog the pastor
Deletena wah sha,the lent to which people would go is unimaginable i tell you

ReplyDeleteGod help us. What a sad story,,,,as for that pastor who went to kill tje friend of the man he prophesied to,it is normal.When they prophesy to u,they usually go and make that thing happen so, people fear and believe them. All na scam
ReplyDeleteEmeh you are truly gifted and God keeps blessing you.Usually, i wont comment on this issue since it has to do with religion and most people are scared of saying anything before you miraclously find yourself on one alter confessing to be a witch who was talking against men of God.lol But the way you wrote it makes it hard for me to ignore.I say thumbs up girl
ReplyDeleteAny miracle church is a NO go area for me
ReplyDeleteWow just wow
ReplyDeleteThis remind me of one stupid prophet who came to my house and said my dad will die in 1week if we dont come for serious prayer and fastinfpg. My dad agreed to come,along with the 100k advance for candles holy water and all,when my dad went,he took the police along and they told the man to sign an undertaking that nothing will happen to my dad.
