I INTRODUCE TO YOU LINDY-ANN HOPLEY, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

-

By Akin Ojumu

This is Lindy-Ann Hopley. She is South African, apostle, evangelist, international singing and healing revivalist, inspirational speaker, a coach, and author.

There’s, however, one title that Lindy-Ann has that trumps all the aforementioned temporal monikers. Ranking exceeding abundantly above all her earthly qualifications, appellations, and designations is the fact that Lindy-Ann Hopley is the one and only bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. And she has a 100,000 carat diamond ring on the fourth finger of her left hand to prove it.

Well, here’s how it all happened, if you are curious to hear the story.

On this fateful day, Apostle Lindy-Ann Hopley was on her knees praying, sobbing, and having an encounter in her room when suddenly a man in a white robe appeared to her. Guess who’s come to dinner? It was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. 

Now, it just happened that a love song played in the background. The song was, “My love, would you marry me? My love, would you marry?”

Lo and behold, the Lord Jesus went down on one knee. As he reached out His hand towards her, Lindy-Ann Hopley could see a gorgeous ring full of colorful diamond stones. 

Although she didn’t say it, if I must guess, the diamond ring probably weighed more than 100,000 carats.

Anyways, let’s continue with the story.

Still on one knee with a diamond ring in his hand, the Lord Jesus Christ said to her: 

“Lindy-Ann! Will you marry me?”

As any sane human being would, or should, Lindy-Ann was shocked to hear Christ propose to her. So, the first thing that popped out of her mouth by way of a response was: 

“Will you really have me?”

Apostle Linda-Ann was blown away by the surrealness and otherworldliness of the whole encounter. But after the initial shock and overwhelming emotions, Lindy-Ann quickly regained her composure.

Giggling with excitement and overcome with joy, Apostle Lindy-Ann Hopley accepted the Lord’s marriage proposal with a: 

“Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Of course!!!!”

Right at that moment, Lindy-Ann Hopley became the bride of Christ. She was no more the Lot Lizard and Jesus’s Side Chick on a Sunday. Instantly, her name changed from Apostle Lindy-Ann to Her Messiahress, Lindy-Ann Jesus Christ.

And that’s the end of the story. With no muss and no fuss, the Lord Jesus Christ had a secret wedding with Lindy-Ann Hopley and many of you didn’t get an invitation. That’s a shame.

Now, I’d be remiss if I don’t warn anyone who reads this commentary and allows skepticism to creep into their mind. You should know that it’s a grievous thing to question and criticize the one and only bride of Christ. If you thought that anyone who touches the Lord’s anointed – in this case, pastors and preachers – will be met with the fierce wrath of God, what do you think will be the fate of anyone who touches the Lord’s beautiful bride by questioning the veracity of her story and casting aspersions on her supernatural matrimonial encounter?

Additionally, I must also warn those Casanova men who may be tempted to train their side glance at Her Messiahress, Lindy-Ann Jesus Christ. The lady is taken. She is the wife of God and Christ and the bride of the Creator of the Universe Himself. If you love yourself, you’d steer clear of her. Don’t look at her. Don’t talk to her. If you don’t want to be consumed by her husband’s holy fire.

GOD’S GENERALS DEMYSTIFIED (PART II)

“Kathryn Kuhlman: Publicly Pious, Privately Perverse” By Akin Ojumu Considered to be a forerunner to the present-day charismatic movement, Kathryn Kuhlman was a rockstar who drew millions to her miracle crusades in her time. Even now, the Queen of faith healing continues to enjoy godlike status in many Christian cycles. Many modern-day charismatic preachers draw their inspiration from Kathryn Kuhlman, and not a few of them borrowed their techniques, styles, and mannerisms from her. As is the case with many charismatic preachers, Kathryn Kuhlman’s spirituality was performative theater characterized by public piety and private perversity. Not only were her teachings erroneous and based on flawed theology, but the woman also engaged in unsavory behaviors for which she never once publicly repented. Early in her career as a faith healer, Kathryn Kuhlman became entangled in a sordid relationship with a married evangelist by the name Burroughs Waltrip. It all started when the pair began to sh...

BECAUSE JOB DIDN’T TITHE, HIS LIFE BECAME TIGHT

By Akin Ojumu Being the trust-but-verify guy that I am, while fact-checking a social media post by one of my High School friends, in which Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted to have linked the adversity of Job to his tithing habit, I was shocked, but not at all surprised, to find a 2019 video that did indeed confirm what my good friend shared.  In Bishop Oyedepo's telling, the real cause of Job's afflictions was his failure to pay tithes. According to him, God removed Job's divine security and allowed Satan to buffet him with calamity because the man was a habitual tithe defaulter. Because Job didn't tithe, his life became really tight. Here is the Bishop in his own words: “You can't see anywhere where Job tithed. So, his blessing was not secured. You can't find anywhere where Job tithed. No! He was overly committed to giving liberally to the poor and God was committed to bless him. But there was no security.” Just so it's absolutely clear. Bishop Oyedepo's...

HEZEKIAH AND JOSIAH: A CONTRAST IN RESPONSE TO GOD’S ANGER

-

By Akin Ojumu This commentary is an exchange I had with a good friend of mine who was puzzled by Hezekiah’s callous response to the prophecy of destruction that was going to come upon his people and asked what I thought about it. My Friend’s Concern: The response of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:19 puzzles me greatly. How does a father think this way? I tried to contrast it with Josiah ’ s response in 2 Kings 22:14-20 and 2 Kings 23. Josiah was promised a quiet death, yet he still acted! What made the difference? What’s the lesson here for me? My Own Response: Your perplexity is not misplaced. It’s absolutely in order to find disquieting, the response of King Hezekiah to the terrible things that was going to happen to his offspring and his nation in the future. I share your dismay. Below are my two cents on these two kings of Judah and the issues you’ve raised. Beyond being of the lineage of David and kings of Judah, Hezekiah and Josiah, his great grandson, have a lot of things in common...
