The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries has issued a strong rebuttal against the recent ridicule of its members’ testimonies circulating online.
The Church has firmly rejected accusations of fabricating testimonies and criticized the misleading nature of some viral videos.
In a statement released on Monday, the Church urged Nigerians to approach internet content with caution, warning against believing everything seen online.
The Church specifically condemned bloggers they described as “devilish,” accusing them of manipulating and taking statements out of context for sensationalism.
The backlash followed viral videos featuring testimonies from Church members, including one particularly controversial account where a member claimed to have ridden on a lion.
The Church emphasized that such testimonies are genuine expressions of faith and not fabricated stories.
The Church called on the public to disregard the disparaging comments and to approach such matters with discernment.
The Lord’s Chosen member in the testimony had said, “Something entered my back, lifted me up. It carried me like aeroplane to express.
“When it reached there, it dropped me. When it dropped me, I turned to look at what carried me and as I looked it was lion.
“So when the lion dropped me, the place was very narrow and tight, it now raised one hand up and asked me to go like this (pointing to the left). When I go, the lion said bye bye.”
In another viral video, a lady said he fought robbers and took their AK-47 rifles.
In the footage, the elderly woman revealed that she was attacked by armed robbers.
She said she “Miraculously gained control of their guns and ensured the arrest of three of the robbers.”
Similarly, a man revealed that he survived kidnapping, machete attacks, and gunshot wounds “without injury”.
However, reacting to the videos and the reactions trailing them, the Lord’s Chosen Church said the footages were doctored.
The Head, Public Relations and Media, of the church, Pastor Chidi Louis, described the videos as “a bid to discredit what God is doing.
“Nigerians should visit the Church’s platform and listen to the complete testimonies for better understanding. The woman defeated the armed men in a dream.
“Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. They just cut one part and made it look real. The woman was explaining her dream.
“The viral video is a fake one. It was doctored.
“Most of these bloggers are very wicked and devilish, they edited this testimony in a bid to ridicule the work of God.”
Also, the Lord’s Chosen Church media department, on its platform, described the clip as fake and urged the public to disregard it.
Furthermore, the church’s TikTok handle released the full clip of the lady’s testimony, clarifying that her story happened in her dream.
