By Akin Ojumu According to Katie Souza, one of the leading prophets in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) false religious system, ordinary demonic oppression apparently was not dramatic enough. Her testimony ventures into territory that sounds less like Christian preaching and more like a rejected screenplay from the science-fiction channel. Souza claims that, when she was a young girl, extraterrestrial beings visited her and implanted what she calls an “interdimensional device” inside her body. This alleged device, she says, remained there for years, carefully harvesting her eggs whenever they matured. And why were aliens supposedly running a clandestine extraterrestrial fertility clinic inside Katie Souza? According to her, they wanted her eggs in order to manufacture an alien-human hybrid child. Yes. That is actually the claim. Souza says the operation eventually succeeded. She claims that she was later shown the hybrid offspring produced from her harvested eggs. And, apparently, e...

How the Donkey and the Colt Become Victims of Eisegesis By Akin Ojumu There is something almost refreshing these days about hearing a preacher actually open the Bible and read the passage before preaching. The bar has fallen that low. Many preachers now appear to regard reading the biblical text as an unnecessary preliminary inconvenience—a tedious ritual standing between them and the sermon they had already decided to preach. So, they paraphrase a few verses, mention the name of a Bible character, seize upon one convenient word, and then disappear into forty-five minutes of theological free association. Isaac Omolehin, to his credit, actually read Matthew 21:1–11. He opened the Bible. He read the story. He encountered the donkey. He encountered the colt. He encountered the disciples. He encountered the prophecy. He encountered Jerusalem. He encountered the crowds shouting, “Hosanna!”  Most importantly, he encountered Jesus Christ, the promised Messianic King. And after encounterin...

“The Cross That Refuses to Cooperate” By Akin Ojumu There is a peculiar irony in certain modern attempts to defend the goodness of God. Every so often, this defense begins with a philosophical equation: “God is good. Suffering and death are bad. Therefore, God cannot possibly ordain anything involving suffering or death.” It sounds wonderfully reverent. It feels piously devout. There is only one problem.  The Apostles apparently never received the memo. None of the men whom the Lord Jesus Christ personally handpicked, tutored, and commissioned to spread His Gospel saw it fit to rigorously provide a character witness to God as One who is incapable of ordaining suffering and death.  Nowhere does this become more obvious than at Calvary. If God cannot ordain suffering without becoming morally culpable for evil, then the Cross creates an enormous theological problem.  Because the New Testament refuses to describe Christ’s crucifixion as merely something Satan engineered, wick...

“When the Bible Puts Papa On Trial” By Akin Ojumu Having established the sacred commandments of Daddy Christianity, we may now proceed to its devotional literature. Every personality cult requires beatitudes, a creed, and—unfortunately for Daddy—a confrontation with the Bible. The Beatitudes of Daddy in the Lord Christianity Blessed are those who never ask questions, for theirs is the front row. Blessed are the unquestioningly loyal, for they shall inherit protocol positions. Blessed are those who defend Papa on social media, for they shall be called spiritual sons. Blessed are those who sow before midnight, for their screenshots shall be remembered. Blessed are those who shout “Amen!” before understanding the sermon, for they demonstrate uncommon faith. Blessed are those who never fact-check testimonies, for they shall see miracles everywhere. Blessed are those who reinterpret failed prophecies, for they shall preserve the reputation of the prophet. And blessed are you when men critic...
