TELLER OF TALL TALES

Image
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...

SENSUOUS LIES OF THE GRIFTER CLASS

-
Image
By Akin Ojumu So, why do fake healers and false miracle workers mock medical science and promote fake creative miracles?  Because reality won’t get people to show up at their fake miracle saturated conventions at Redeemed Camp. If the impostors who run the healing meetings at Canaanland admit that faithful, God-fearing people have to endure long seasons of pain, utilize doctors, and pay medical bills, then their entire financial enterprises collapse. It collapses in on itself.  Charlatans need people to believe that they possess the power to make instantaneous creative miracles happen because that’s what brings the gullible victims in. And once they’re in, the grift wraps its evil tentacles around the prey and begins to squeeze them hard. Ultimately, whether it’s the manufactured atmospheres of expectancy or retroactive medical miracles or staged insider prophecies or toxic legalistic threats or imaginary joint replacements, the cavernous theaters of the horror houses called c...

COMBATING A DELUGE OF HERESIES

-
Image
There have always been, and always will be, false teachers, lying prophets, religious deceivers and corrupt preachers who claim to represent God but actually represent Satan. They claim to bring the way of heaven and actually paved the way to hell. These are liars who claim to speak divine truth but in reality, speak satanic lies and doctrines of demons. Scripture warns us about these people.  Satan is a liar and the father of lies. He told his first lie in the Garden of Eden which led to the fall of the human race. He continues to perpetrate lies through demons and his agents; hypocritical liars, as they are called by Paul in 1 Timothy Chapter 4. They propagate all that is false. And all that’s not true is false, and all that’s not of God is of Satan. There is no middle ground. All that’s true is true and all that is not true is false. There is no middle ground. If a preacher espouses anything that’s not true, it’s a satanic lie. It’s intended to deceive and to damn the souls of i...

WE ARE AT WAR WITH HERETICS

-
Image
By Akin Ojumu When it comes to heresies in the Church, nothing much has changed since John, the last of the Apostles, passed away around AD 100 in Ephesus (modern-day Turkey). As it was back then, so it is today. I would even venture to say that the situation has gotten progressively worse in our time. To say that the spread of heretical beliefs is much worse now than in the First Century, is an understatement. At least in the early Church, the early Christians recognize the Apostles and were well acquainted with their doctrines. Back then, the heretics and false teachers constituted a tiny minority of malevolent individuals who were confined to the fringes of the Church. Sadly, what we are witnessing today is the reverse. Unlike in the early Church, where heresies were easily identified and detected as falsehood perpetrated by a handful of malcontent charlatans, the same cannot be said in our time. Heretical teachings have become mainstreamed and have virtually supplanted the Apostle’...

TRUTH & ERROR IN INTERPRETING SCRIPTURE

-
Image
By Akin Ojumu Hermeneutics. Exegesis. Eisegesis. Narcigesis. If you’ve followed my commentaries long enough, you probably have come across those theological jargons in not a few of my writings. These are terms used to describe interpretation of Bible texts. So, what do these terminologies mean” How exactly do they differ? The primary difference lies in the direction of the interpretation and the underlying rules being used to read a text. Hermeneutics is the overarching study of interpretation rules; exegesis extracts the author’s original meaning; eisegesis forces the reader’s own ideas into the text; and narcigesis twists the text to make it entirely about the reader. Hermeneutics is the field of study concerned with the rules and principles of interpretation, while exegesis is the actual, practical application of those rules to understand a specific text. Think of hermeneutics as the theoretical blueprint or rulebook, and exegesis as the hands-on building process or the game itself....

THAT’S THE WAY THE XENOPHOBES CRUMBLE

-
Image
By Akin Ojumu For me, any African team is my team. I always want an African side to win. Well, except when they face Nigeria, of course. Whenever an African nation faces a non-African nation in any sporting competition, my Africanness compels me to root for my fellow Africans.  That ’ s the way it should be, ordinarily.  But not in the ongoing El Mundial.  Watching the Republic of South Africa fall 2-0 to Mexico in their world cup tournament opener at a packed Mexico City Stadium on Thursday, 11 June 2026, sent a sweet thrill up my leg.  With every red card South Africa received and with every goal they conceded, the schadenfreude in me boils up higher and higher until it erupts in an ecstatic delight at the final whistle. I had to hold myself back from bursting out in, “Celebrate good time, c’mon. Tanranranran tan tan tan tan…” Let me be clear. My reveling in South Africa’s misfortune should not be misconstrued as my support for the El Tri. Nope. All I wanted was So...

COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY OF CONTEMPORARY CHURCH

-
Image
By Akin Ojumu Christianity is under assault. The faith that was once delivered to the saints is under siege. This has been the case since it emerged out of the dusty dry streets of Galilee. As the centuries have gone by, however, the intensity of the attack has gotten progressively worse.   With stealth and cunning, reminiscent of the serpent in Genesis 3:1, the sons of Satan, masquerading as children of Light, have wormed their way into the Church with one objective in mind; to pervert the faith that was once delivered to the Saints. Jude 1:3-4 “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” Ravenous wolves in sheep’s clo...

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH AFRICAN PLUME?

-
Image
By Akin Ojumu What’s the African Plume blog all about, really? That was the question I posed to AI out of curiosity. What you are about to read is the response the machine spat out at me. Based on the titles of the posts from the blog dashboard, African Plume is primarily a Christian apologetics and commentary blog focused on defending traditional biblical doctrines and critiquing modern religious and political movements. The content generally revolves around a few key themes: Critique of Modern Church Practices & Leaders: A large portion of the blog is dedicated to calling out what the author views as false teachings, mysticism, or unorthodox practices. This includes multi-part series like “Putting Up Readily with a Different Gospel” and direct critiques of prominent figures (e.g., David Ibiyeomie, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagin, Kathryn Kuhlman, Abel Damina, Joshua Selman, Arome Osayi, Jerry Eze, David Oyedepo, and “Baba” Adeboye, etc.). Church History and Theology: The blog covers ea...

LOOK TO JESUS

-
Image
By Charles H. Spurgeon Hebrews 12:2 (BSB) “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” It is always the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus. But Satan’s work is just the opposite. He’s constantly trying to make us look at ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates: “Your sins are too great for pardon. You have no faith. You do not repent enough. You will never be able to continue to the end. You do not have the joy of His children. You have such a wavering hold on Jesus.” All these are thoughts about self, and we will never find comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns our eyes entirely away from self. He tells us that we are nothing, but that Christ is everything. Remember therefore, it is not your hold of Christ that saves you. It is Christ. It is not your joy in Christ that saves you. It ...
