Default The Man Of God And Mass Hysteria

Speaking Truth to Power: The Man of God and Mass Hysteria
In the July evening, enjoying the unusual warmth of the British Summer, sitting at the dinning table with my laptop in view, a text message interrupted my mood.The was message purportedly sent from the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Dr Adeboye read that:
“Pastor E.A. Adeboye just sent a message that we should pray from 11pm to 1am today that God should not let us weep or mourn over anybody close to us.” It ended with an instruction: “Send to others.”
My initial thoughts were predicated on ignoring the message, pressing the delete button on the phone and continuing with the agenda of the evening.However, almost simultaneously, another message came through on my face book from the Redeemed Christian Church of God via the PA to Pastor Adeboye stating that:
“Good evening Ladies and Gents,

Default The More you look, the less you see...Abracadabra



Meeen, l weak o!
A friend forwarded the "text" to my phone, telling me it was his Pastor (Redeem church) that sent it to "members".
I reasoned: There is no crime in praying and prayer is never "too much"!
The Bible also says "To hearken is better than to sacrifice"!

Just before the scheduled prayer was to begin, the Pastor of "my church", same Redeem!, sent another text to my phone, denouncing the first one!

I prayed for my loved ones and then sent a text to the Pastor of my (Redeem) church with the following words.
"Pastor, if a Redeem Pastor said this message was from the G.O. and you denounce it as "categorically false", would it be not be proper to ask "whether there is confusion in the "body of Christ"? Please respond."

Am still waiting for my response but you can bet that this Sunday's Service "MUST" produce "Biblically legitimate and satisfactory" answers!


I still remember that Pastor that granted a Public interview claiming Obasanjo has been anointed by God to rule for another 4yrs, just before the aborted Third term imbroglio! Wonder where the con-man is right now?

And this one in "The Sun" of 10th June 2006 said "God told him he will succeed Obasanjo, back then!


I will succeed Obasanjo, he is aware of it – Samuel
By Vincent Ukpong Kalu egbebereugobere@yahoo.com
Saturday, June 10, 2006

* More Stories on this Section

Daniel Moses Samuel, a clergy and General Over-Seer of Upper Light Mission, Okokomaiko, Ojo and the president of DMS Solitary Forum says God has different agenda for Nigeria in 2007, that all the politicians jostling for the presidency are only wasting their time.

According to the minister, God revealed to him and has equally prepared him to succeed Obasanjo whenever he leaves office. He says that even the president is aware of this fact and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party will soon look for him to fulfill this divine mandate.
In an interview with Saturday Sun, he speaks on the shape of things to come in 2007, and the prominent position Nigeria occupies in God’s agenda.

The genesis and the vision
Samuel started as a policeman and later joined the Nigerian Army. According to him, it was while he was in the Military Intelligent unit of the Nigeria Army that God told him on July 10, 1989 that he was going to prepare him to take Nigeria to Promised Land. God never told him when it would be. “Thereafter, I gave my life to Christ and within a short time, I resigned from the military and went into full time ministry. God continued to give me this message. When God told me that I was going to succeed Obasanjo, then I made it known to the world in 2003, even though God did not tell me the date. What he told me is that Obasanjo is going to hand over to me when he is leaving office. President Obasanjo knows what I’m talking about. It is not hidden to him.”

The vision for appointed time
Samuel says he is not a politician and so does not belong to any political party. His Solitary Forum is not intended to transmute into a political party. According to him, it is the organisation that supports the vision of his movement. It was inaugurated in 2003,with membership that spreads across the country and in different political parties. When it was clear that Obasanjo was not leaving office in 2003, he mobilised the Solidarity Forum to work for his re-election.

On how the vision is going to actualise since he does not belong to any political party, Samuel says, “ If God calls you, He had already positioned people He is going to use to bring the vision to manifestation. In this matter, God will touch those who are concerned and they will look for me. I have no plan to enter into politics but waiting for the PDP and Obasanjo to invite me. This is the source God showed to me, which He is going to use to bring this divine mandate to fruition. What is going to happen is that the PDP and Obasanjo will bring me in. Obasanjo fully knows what I am talking about.”

God, not author of confusion
Against the claims by other minister politicians that God said they are Obasanjo’s successors, Samuel says, the truth will soon be known .God is not author of confusion. “You can only lie for a while, at the end of the day, we will know who is who. In any case, God usually has a substitute. If you are called and you are not ready, the substitute takes over., if other persons say God called them to be president in 2007, I wish them success. Let us watch and see. God never told me it is 2007. What God told me explicitly is that president Obasanjo will hand over to me and no other person is qualified for that post that is where I stand.”
Signs of 2007

To prove his points, he gave three signs which will make Obasanjo and others to believe him, that when the first and second signs manifest, nobody will tell the PDP to look for him “First, beside what God is going to reveal to them (PDP stalwarts) about me, He is going to punish them for this third term issue. The punishment is that the party will lose some top notchers- members of board of trustee and NWC to death before the end of the year.

The second is that, if they still insist on not looking for me to fulfill God’s plans for this nation through me, God will visit Obasanjo in a little way – with sickness that every Nigerian will know that Baba is ill” Until the manifestation of the two signs, I will not reveal the third sign but I pray that Nigeria does not disintegrate and be in total darkness. I don’t want Nigerians to believe me but they should enquire whether, I am real or fake from these great men of God, Pastors Enoch Adeboye, Wale Oke, Mike Okonkwo and Eziekiel.

Immediately, these signs are shown, PDP should not waste time so that Nigeria will not be in total darkness. The spirit of death loom over PDP, this is the time for them act to and pray for God to heal them and restore the party. They disappointed God through third term, more so, their refusal to recognise me despite the prayers I’m making for them; despite all that I told them which came to pass in the party. Since they look for signs, God is going to show them. Let us watch, there may not be general elections in 2007. If there is general election who that is going to be sworn in? These are the things to watch. The man that we have on stage now is Ibrahim B. Babangida, he will receive MKO -type of victory. All these things I know but I don’t want to go in details.”

I just want everybody to know that God is interested in this country. Nigeria is second to none in God’s agenda. We have a different and prophetic destiny from other countries and this is the time God wants to intervene and usher Nigeria to the Promised Land. From what will happen between now and 2007, you will know that God is interested in this country. How many of these shots that are running around preparing for 2007 presidency will witness 2007? God’s time of judgment is starting from July 15, you will be hearing of deaths in the land.”

“Why must we talking again of those people who have ruled this country? We should be talking about new generation. I believe in generational change. God can bring up a young man with a vision to take this nation to the next level. Let us just watch and see the outcome of 2007.”

Tender plant from the North
“When God wants to use somebody to bring people out he will go to the least people.
When Tunde Bakare prophesied about the tender plant from North sometimes ago , I never knew or understood then. It was recently that through revelation that I came to understand that Bakare was referring to me.

To confirm it, God took me to Latter Rain Assembly one Saturday for a programme. The members were rejoicing, dancing and praising God for their prophecy coming to physical manifestation. In my Church the following day, then the voice spoke to me that the prophesy of Tunde Bakare will happen in my life that I am the one he is referring to. That is how I came about that tender plant, if not I will not claim what God did not show to me. Bakare got it clearly.


And this one in Newswatch of 2006 also details additional "mumbo-jumbo" of some of these tricksters turned Pastors

To whom Has God Spoken?

By Rachel Ogbu
Thursday, June 08, 2006

Several pastors make conflicting predictions on the 2007 presidency claiming God spoke to them.

Politicians nursing the ambition to succeed President Olusegun Obasanjo on May 29, 2007 have started strategising to win the race. As they jostle for the plum job, many men of God have gone into seclusion to seek an answer to the question "Who will rule Nigeria in 2007?"

After a spiritual journey of 51 days, Timothy Ibe of the Resurrection Power Ministry International, came out with stunning revelations on Nigeria's political future. Ibe said that during his spiritual journey, God specifically revealed to him that in 2007, Ibrahim Babangida, former president will be sworn in as the next ruler of the country. "I wasn't comfortable too when God announced this to me but when he unveiled the things IBB would do, I obliged. I'm not so stupid to put my life at risk and claim God sent me when he did not. This prophesy is not new, it has been confirmed again that it will surely come to pass," Ibe said.

But, his prophesy runs contrary to the one from Tunde Bakare, Pastor of Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos. Speaking on the 2007 presidential race, he advised Babangida to forget about his plan to return to power. "Do not be intimidated by the formidable fortress IBB has built around himself. Do not think for a second that he is going to rule this country again. He will dribble himself into a bottomless political pit," Bakare said. Bakare, who is known for his outspoken revelations and warnings, had made such speculations in the past which were said to have come to pass.

Similarly, Glory Chika Nsiegbe, a.k.a. Anointed Man of God in Grace of Christ Mustard Mission, Port-Harcourt, predicted that Babangida will not achieve his ambition to succeed Obasanjo in 2007. "The spirit of the living God declares that if IBB continues to insist on his quest for political leadership, God shall deal with him the way he dealt with the late General Abacha," he said.

There is yet another prophecy from God concerning the 2007 presidential race. This appears to have made this a situation of one story, many voices but all from God. Bassey Orok, senior apostle and prophet of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has warned Nigerians to brace up for what will befall Nigeria in the event of the 2007 elections. He predicted that a South-South politician would emerge as the next president of Nigeria. Orok warned President Obasanjo, Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Muhammadu Buhari, Babangida and Gani Fawehinmi not to bother seeking for any elective position in 2007 as it would be a waste of time and energy. "Anybody who wants to subvert this divine programme will have the wrath of God visited upon him and his children," he said.
My people can over-do things sha!
I wonder which kin "Motorolla" some of these Pastors are using,......to call God? .....abi na MultiLinks? Hmmmm.....

Elvis OKoYe, if only for once you have ever entered a plane with this poor man in it you will pity him. This man sometimes fill his legs and probably his patner with bible and notes probably preparing the message he will give or something. If you are opportuned to enter a plane with him, then you know what am saying. Big Daddy always hold "an emergency crusade" each time he is highlighting from a plane or boarding one. People always want laying of hands. Abeg give this man a breading space. Wait wasnt it a Catholic Priest that found to be keeping a romantic relationship with a member of his cathedral. Remember thepunch newspaper some time back that wrote about a priest who was unveiled to have a secret family in one village. Another was that of which was keeping his child and calling him a dead members child that he was helping. There are many cases even that which was having a relationship with his maid. So, dont even talk about pentecostal like that. AAaaaaaaaaaaBBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeGGggggg ggggggggggggggggg! Just remebering sef isnt the poe that said that homosexualism was allowed. was that what your bible said. It is very true that some pastor claim money for their pockets, even in redeem. There ws testimony of someone very known that gave =N=2000 at a gathering at the redemption camp and got =N= 200,000 back. Back to the Gulfstream 4XP with registration number 707EA jet of The Redeemed Christian Church of God not pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, do you know that he didnt contribute a single penny. His children (five) in the lord saw that the church needed one and lo , they gave it one. Somone said that Stay there. If only you know how busy our pastor is and the magnitude of the evangelism he can achieve by being able to fly all over the world at short notice and convert people and expand our size, then you wouldn't be saying the nonsense you are saying. With that plane, now you have to know that no matter the money you bring to God through our church, you know our pastor is bigger than that. And let me tell you it is very true Dont forget that to those who may not know it, this story is credible because people like Jim Ovia, CEO and MD of Zenith Bank, Erastus Akingbola MD Intercontinental Bank, Ayo Thomas MD Intercontinental Capital Market etc are Pastors of the Redeemed Church. The church has people with good heads on their shoulder as members. To get full gist visit http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=139813 and Rccg responds!!
Thanks.
Am out

Default Re: The Man Of God And Mass Hysteria



What arrant nonsense is this fellow talking? Listen my friend the Bishop of Rome can never give his support to homosexuals and the Catholic Church cannot and can never wed them. If you happen be one of them or you are looking for a leeway thru which you will bring your homosexualism in The HOLy, APOSTOLIC, ONE, Cathoilc Church I advise you to continue practicing it in your aladura church. Check your Bible which you quote .The Bible was a product of the work of early Catholic Popes for almost two thousand years after the death of Christ>Yes it was Catholic Popes who sanctioned the authenticity of what you cluster as your Bible and the Bishop Of Rome, The Holy Father presently, Pope Benedict XVI cannot err when he speaks ex cathedra on the scripture.
Listen have they never told you in your Catechism class that there is a whole lot more of things which Christ did but were not recorded which is called Tradition, Anyway I don’t blame you and you ilk elsewhere that clutch incomplete book without the five Deuterocanonical Books which makes up a complete Bible. Was it the Pope that told Obasanjo that he saw a vision of him that like Joseph he was being selected by God for third tenure in 2007 during a Holy Ghost congress along Lagos-Ibadan road “in the heat of the third term campaign in Nigeria.Its just febrile minds as yours that they spurn weaving all manner of lies into your skull during your service. Why is it that Pentecostals celebrate Easter, Ascension of the Lord and Christmas, you too should know that these religious festivals was established by the Bishop of Rome, The Pope who you said approved homosexualism for your church>I pity you and your ilk whom they weave lies for, Catholics worship Mary, Cathoilcs don’t know the Bible, Catholics worship Idol, Catholics does this, Catholics does that. Continue following their marketing campaign and continue dropping your 10% tithe while the sloganeering lasts .That’s why the fleet of their private jets continue to balloon from I to 2 ,from 4 to 6.The in thing now is that in many of their enclaves they have started comparing their figures with that of Catholics .often one wonders what is it that that they mean when they define themselves as the mega church .I pity the people who daily throng the gate of hell awaiting its invitation.People who have developed what they called Nigerian established churches, whatever that acronym means .Time and time again the pastors of Pentecostals enclaves have being found wanting in the very serious office of preaching the gospel which they take of their own volition.
You know Creflo Dollars in US,a man whose second name is dollars how he ministers in his enclave to about six thousand souls held captive by him in Atalanta,Georgia.You know where Reverend King of CPA is,Kuje Prison,Abuja,they kept him in Ikoyi and he wanted to bolt from prison because of the maximum sentence on his head for his concubines that he set ablaze , good enough you also quoted your church as one of the places where this chicanery and chauvinism exists, it does not exist in the Catholic Church> I am para phrasing what you wrote to buttress my point.
“It is very true that some pastor claim money for their pockets, even in redeem”
Young men and women of our blessed country Nigeria who should be gainfully employed elsewhere have taken to chicanery and religious chauvinism creating a kingdom for themselves and taken the Holy Bible as the instrument of their trade “They see visions ,prophesy ,bind ,loose,castigate,cheat,seduce women,banish brutalise ,caricature ,cajole ,hallucianate,as occasion demands to prove to people that they are pastors,see other peoples’ opinions in this article also on this subject. No wonder the great apostle of the Gentiles, St.Paul told Timothy in (Ist Timothy 4:1-5)”The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times, they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead as if burnt with a hot iron”. Also confer 2nd Timothy Chapter 3:1-6”
What difference do we have from what obtains above from what is happening in this country Nigeria today in the name of a brand of Christianity..
There is no place I misquoted anybody in my reply to the article in question written before, what I wrote has been quoted and written on by either journalists and other experts and have been published in the Nigerian Dailies.
You committed the sin of apostasy by conjuring a tissue of lies that the Holy Father the Pope and the Bishop of Rome sanctioned homosexualism .I am yet to know the publication he gave you in which you read it in your church.For this and other fallacies with which they indoctrinate you I say, Libera Domino ab Omni malo…………Father Lord Forgive them that know not and save us from all evils ,Amen.

Elvis, dont throw stones if you live in a glass Rome.

G O has a plane so? Amokachi once had a plane, you as a Christain should ask what is he doing with the plane, but no, he should take "Okada" ......hypocyte.

does the Vatican have private jet(s), who owns the land in Manhattan New York? how was St Pauls Bascillica built? didnt the Roman Catholic church sell "indulgences" to folks to "buy" their ansestors form Hell to Purgatory? was that not how Micheangelo was paid?

is 10% Tithes not in the Bible? didnt Solomon sacfirce to God and then God visit him?

Jesus spoke more about Money than salvation, do you know that. "above all things, I wish you will Posper and be in good health, as your soul Prospers" thats the Bible ooh

where have you seen the Gospel preached without Money? will Faith manufacture bibles or pay for airtime?

Bros fight the good fight, who have ypu helped today? id you die who will suffer?

remember when the lady put expensive perfume on Christs feet, the disciples complained but Jesus said it was ok.

if they ask you to bring money to build a house for "Mary" now you will sell your Daughter....hypocryte.

Default Re: The Man Of God And Mass Hysteria



I saw this reply to a blog somebody just posted. The first man that wrote the article is a member of the Redeem Church but hates the nuances being practiced there. The guests that wrote replies were very objective as to many other nuances ,methods ,scams ,acronyms and modules being used by these so called men of God to undo others .They have even gone face book by sending mild threat text messages which once sent out carries a fiat at the end to the recipient to resend to 20 people or they lose their jobs, die or get spiritual attack .The subjects of the articles and the replies therein are apt. One wonders how Nigerians can easily defend their own in the face of glaring, disreputable and outlandish practices. Even from first hand church members .Methinks that the article sought to bring to the fore the despicable acts committed by many in their quest to prove themselves as the anointed men of God. Time and time again from the history of this country a certain brand of Christianity has been bandied around as the elixir of all earthly problems. People who even go to London for a visit call their anointed men in Nigeria to pray for them so that their visas can be extended on expiration. What a miasma and sheer ignorance, that prayer should be brought into purely civil affairs of visa expiration. If your visa expires the next best thing to do is to board the next available flight home because you already are an outlaw in that place in the first instance. But we continue to shout ourselves hoarse because the very same people who use religion to outwit others have their hand in most pies in this country. They have even started recruiting bank executives to be their pastors, they tell you it doesn’t matter just be born again and you will receive Jesus. I have reclined their offer to fellowship with them severally. the few times I have interacted with them ,I have noted with dismay that their sole aim of preaching is not to win souls but to get the person who has money from whom they can collect. Another sad observation is that of fundamentalism, Is it in the Bible question being directed at Cathloics first by protestants and now by these Pentecostal sects. On TV the main tinge of their attacks is on catholic prayers, worship and doctrine forgetting too that there is no doctrine in the catholic Church which does not have its foundation in the Bible, is it the Rosary with which they say Catholics worship Mary, is it confession which they said confess your sins to one another and not to the priest .The desperation I see is that it is all about money and from the look of things those behind the scene know their targets and go for it. The Kalu guy that posted a reply even said that “Jesus spoke more about Money than salvation”. How else can one understand their approach to gospel values?
The other guy Elvis did a nice appraisal. The one whom I am replying to now besides launching scathing insults on the Catholic church is surely one of their own members .he compares the person who took delivery of the private jet estimated at 4 billion naira or $28 million to Amokachi>Both persons don’t meet. Amokachi the ex Super eagles player worth his jet and he bought it with his sweat. And it is his private wahala how to maintain the jet.In the midst of the present economic environment, the utmost needs of so called men of god riding in private jets is otiose, abnormal,devious and inconsistent with biblical values.This makes me to conclude that the observation of Elvis stands in the midst of this weird infamy ,salvation poachers, destiny quenchers and luck mugglers.The full biblical values should be lived out in the life of every Christian and to this mundane preachers who waft our ears on air, we say practice what you preach! Also it is said bank executives were the ones who contributed to buy the jets that gives an insight too, to where bank managers slot shareholders money in Nigeria and the liquidity of those banks. To every Nigerian out there read this article and arm you for the facts listed above are real.

My hope is that the incident would challenge all of us who consider ourselves to be believers of Jesus Christ to develop more of a biblical literacy.
