By Akin Ojumu You are not being honest with yourself if, upon watching this clip, you concluded that the insanity on display by the confused and deceived individuals in the video is something that fringe groups do and not what’s practiced in your own denomination.  The drama you see these misled folks performing is the norm, and not the exemption. This is what has become of Christianity in our day. It’s a spiritually terminal disease that has infected every ministry and every religious organization you can find. These people are a symptom of a diseased faith. Look again, and you’ll see yourself in these demon-possessed people. If you’ve ever attended a miracle service, you are in this video. If you’ve ever gone to the monthly unholy Ghost Congress, that’s you waiving the broom in the video. If you’ve ever obeyed when your Daddy GO lied to you that your breakthrough can be found in a magic handkerchief, or in a magic comb, or in a magic chair, or in a magic rod, or in his leftover c...

“Dos & Don’ts of Interpreting Scripture” By Akin Ojumu “No Place for Truth: Or Whatever Happened to Evangelical Theology?” was published more than 30 years ago. In the book, Dr David F. Well articulates my grievance with and concern about Christianity as practiced in contemporary times.  With extraordinary eloquence and in such profound terms, he laid bare the sickness that has afflicted the Christian Church. It’s a disease of theological illiteracy, an emancipation of the Church from the theological core of historical Protestantism. The book laments the abandonment of truth by contemporary Church, and the author bemoans the widespread embrace of myth and esoteric speculations by modern-day Christians. On theology, Dr David F. Well writes: “Theology is not simply a philosophical reflection about the nature of things, but it is rather the cogent articulation of the knowledge of God. Its substance is not drawn from mere reflection, no matter how brilliant, but from the biblical W...

“If Math Problems Aren’t Solved by Lighting Candle or Burning Incense, Why Do You Suppose They’ll Work for Deciphering Scripture?” By Akin Ojumu Truth hurts. Criticism stings. Calling out erroneous doctrines aggrieves. It doesn’t matter how calm, how nuanced, how polite, how respectful, how gentle, or how genteel you say it, when you denounce false teachings, false teachers and their fans don’t take it kindly. Yet, if we don’t offend, we can’t correct. If we don’t correct, we can’t heal. If we don’t heal, people are going to die. To stand by and watch and let people die, simply because we are afraid of offending, is an untenable posture my conscience would not allow me to assume.  So, even if it results in me getting punched in the face, as long as God gives me the ability, I’m going to continue to decry the rot at the heart of the modern-day religious industrial complex erroneously called ministries.  If it means standing all alone by myself, I will not stop sounding the alar...

By Akin Ojumu If you assume my calling Sola Fola-Alade the firstborn of Satan is me throwing bombastic pejorative mud at a man of God, you are deadly wrong. Labeling him Satan’s firstling is not at all a bluster or an epithet. That term is an accurate description of Fola-Alade. Judging by what he believes, teaches, and espouses, the title, “firstborn of Satan,” is an apt depiction of who he is and what he represents; a malignant cancer in the Body of Christ. That Sola Fola-Alade is an enemy of God is evident in the claims you’d hear him make in this video clip. According to him: “It is important to know and understand before you call anybody a false prophet – and it is our duty to discern false from true – but before you call anybody a false prophet…please, are you hearing what I’m saying…yeah…that it is important to know and understand that a true prophet can give a false prophecy. Or you don't know that? Should I show you? Samuel, didn’t he give a false prophecy, or you don't...

“Biblical Truth Is Not Mystically Received; It Is Mentally Discerned” By Akin Ojumu Whether you are a celebrated minister of the Gospel, or a venerated preacher of God the Gospel, or an obscure and inconsequential Christian, we are all brokers of the Truth of God which He transmitted to mankind in one book, the Holy Scripture.  As brokers of God’s Truth, we are required to discover the truth, learn the truth, understand the truth, love the truth, guard the truth, proclaim the truth, and live the truth. But this Truth itself is outside of us. We are not its source. We make no contribution to it.  Authentic Christianity understands that the Scripture is an objective…absolute…divine truth. No person has ever had in himself any idea or any experience or any thought or any intuition that determines the truth. The truth is already determined by God and revealed in Scripture. No human individually, no humans collectively are sources for establishing the truth. Neither is any angelic ...

By Akin Ojumu Are you a married woman, and you have been praying for the fruit of the womb for many years? I’ve got good news for you. Daddy GO has the magic elixir for instant fecundity. The head of the RCCG conglomerate is so anointed, heat from his buttocks left on a chair can get a barren woman pregnant. So powerful is Baba Adeboye, trace remnants, i.e., microscopic fragments, such as hairs, fibers, or sweat, that fall off hi s body can banish barrenness to the wilderness. Well, you don’t have to take my word for it. Watch the video clip yourself. You’d hear the man toot his own horn. Taken from the livestream of the RCCG January 6, 2025, Victory Hour Program, this is a video clip showing the RCCG General Overseer reminding a massive crowd of his adoring fans of his heavy anointing. “By his special grace, he has anointed me. We all know that.” Well, who can dispute the fact that the old man reeks of anointing? So heavily anointed is Daddy GO that when he sweats, anointing oil oozes...
