By Akin Ojumu  It saddens me greatly to say this, but I ’ m going to say it anyway. Many of you who will watch this video are too spiritually blind and too far lost to see that what Mr. Isaac Omolehin is saying here is nothing short of satanic. The testimony he gives in this video is pure evil. Let me break it down for you. In his telling of this cock and bull story, he, Isaac Omolehin, of his own might and power, was able to remotely heal a bedridden young man suffering from severed spine by sending one of his associates to go lay hand on him. And how exactly did Mr. Isaac Omolehin accomplish this miraculous feat? Well, all he did was touch the hand of one of his Pastors, named Francis, whom he then sent to go lay that particular hand he had touched on the sick young man. “Francis is our Pastor in Lokoja. He came for the convention as well. So, I said, ‘Yes, come Francis. Do your hand like this.’ And I placed my hand on Francis' hand. And I said, ‘Follow this woman to University o...

By Akin Ojumu Papa Adeboye tells a lot of stories. He does this to impress upon his admirers that he has some type of special relationship with “Daddy” that they don’t have. These tales that the old man spins are meant to make his followers regard him as an extraordinary man who is highly favored by God and imbued with power. The special relationship Papa Adeboye has with “Daddy” also puts him in a position to determine the course of the lives of his followers. If they revere and honor him, and sow seeds to him, untold blessings and good fortunes will come their way. If, on the other hand, they say bad things about him or fail to bring generous donations to his coffers, they should expect misfortune to pay them a visit. This short video clip is another instance of Papa Adeboye spinning a yarn. This time around, it’s a story about how God singled him out for special favor. This is a story about that time, 50 years ago, when he attended the World Conference of Applied Mathematicians in C...

“You Must Examine Yourself” By Akin Ojumu By their doctrines and their deeds, we shall know them. The authenticity of a man’s Christianity is determined not only by how behaves but also by what he believes. The true test of who is a Christian and who isn’t is ascertained by the person’s theological and doctrinal beliefs. Whether or not someone is a true Christian can be determined by how that person conducts himself. 1 John 2:3-6 “And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” There’s a pervasive reality that exists in our world. And that’s the fact that Satan is a deceiver. He wants to convince people that all is well with them spiritually when in actual fact all i...

“Obvious Apostates vs Oblivious Apostates By Akin Ojumu Love, mercy, grace, goodness, and holiness are just some of the attributes of God that help us understand and appreciate who He truly is. These defining characteristics are not just qualities that God possesses, they are intrinsic to His nature, and He is the source of them all. While it’s easy for us to relate with a God who is loving, good, kind, merciful, gracious and good, we often struggle to accept Him as a God who is also just and righteous who punishes iniquity and pours out His vengeance on unrepentant sinners. It’s convenient to be drawn to a God who withholds the punishment that is deserved and bestows blessing that’s unearned. But we are repelled by a God who righteously exercises His sovereign prerogatives by dispensing on the wicked the divine justice that’s deserved. This commentary series explores the administration of God’s divine justice on evil. It’s an examination of the sequence of events that are known to pre...

“That Day Will Not Come Unless the Apostasy Comes First” By Akin Ojumu Pull back the curtain of human history, and you’ll see a clear pattern of events that normally leads up to the unleashing of God’s judgment on a people for their lawlessness. Before God pours out the cup of His wrath upon a sinful nation, we see a sequence of events that must occur as a prelude.  In this commentary series, we ’ ll attempt to examine those events that preceed the righteous judgment of God on a perverse people. It ’ s my prayer that those who read this will learn and respond appropriately. First, there’s a pervasive sinfulness and widespread lawlessness. This is when there’s a mass fallen away from God and the people turn into mutiny and rebellion. What you find at this stage is a national apostasy, when the entire nation turns away from God.  There’s a sweeping rejection of the truth, and a wholesale embrace of satanic lies. Apostates get brazen in their rebellion and charlatans become blata...

By BEZELT3 Sound doctrine, in biblical terms, is not an optional side dish for the exceptional nerdy Christians. It is the pure proclamation of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and every truth that flows from it like a stream from a fountain.  You see, rejecting sound doctrine, therefore, is not just bad taste, it is apostasy in seed form. It is the Galatians problem all over again; swapping the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ for another Gospel, which Paul bluntly said is no Gospel at all. Itching ears? Well, that describes the deep universal temptation to only hear what affirms our unregenerate desires. Whereas the unvarnished Gospel tells sinners that they are spiritually bankrupt and need Christ’s righteousness, itching ears want a sermon series that says that they are basically awesome people and that God is thrilled with them and that all they need to do is go to the next level. One is God-centered truth, the other is a self-centered materialism with a few Bible verses duc...

By Akin Ojumu There’s a lot of brouhaha swirling around Biodun Fatoyinbo lately for the remarks he made during a recent sermon – read that as business lecture – at Korede Komaiya & Son’s commercial enterprise. During the sales pitch given to a bunch of saliva-drooling biblical doofuses, Fatoyinbo dismissed the late sorcerer turned false apostle Ayo Babalola as a man who had heavy-duty anointing but died a pauper.  The raging firestorm over Fatoyinbo’s comments is one of the many problems I have with church folks in Nigeria. These people suffer from a chronic debilitating spiritual disease called Misplaced Outrage Syndrome. This disease causes them to go ballistic at the wrong people for all the wrong reasons. It’s a perennial case of missing the forest for the tree. If you watched the entire prosperity motivational spiel, which ran for almost 90 minutes, what Biodun Fatoyinbo said about Ayo Babalola wasn’t the most atrocious thing that came out of his mouth. Forgive me, I fail ...

By Akin Ojumu That false prophets and false teachers will infiltrate and dominate the Church in the Last Days has been foretold. Every single Book in the New Testament Bible, with the exception of Philemon, forewarns about the impending deluge of false teachers and their false teachings. From Christ Jesus Himself to the very last one of His Apostles, we were told that obfuscation and prevarication will be the modus operandi as the present age winds down to a close. Matthew 24:3-5 “As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.”” Deception is the hallmark of the end-times. The distinctive feature of the end of the age will be widespread dissimulation. During this period of human history, sweeping dissemb...
