Pastor Arrested For Hiring People To Fake Miracle Healing
The long arm of law has finally caught up with a pastor who hired people to fake miracle healing.

The General Overseer of the Wonders Assembly Ministry, Pastor Ikpom David, has landed in trouble in Lagos after he reportedly hired some people to give false testimonies of fake miracle healing in order to attract new members but he was caught in the act.

PM Express reports that the incident happened opposite the Business School in Ajah area of Lagos, where the church is located.

Pastor David was arrested alongside three other suspects including two women in connection with the fake testimonies of miracle healing powers of Pastor David, which were false.

They are currently being interrogated at the SCIID in Panti Yaba, Lagos, over the alleged scam and may be charged to Court over the alleged criminal conspiracy.

This was confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, who said the suspects were arrested for their alleged dubious act by conducting fake miracles and prophecies within Lekki and Epe areas of Lagos on 30th November 2019, around 5 am, by detectives from the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID).

The SCIID operatives made the arrests after monitoring the activities of Pastor Ikpom David, alleged to have procured fake testimonies from hired members of his church.

The cleric was said to have hired a woman, Rukayat Folawewo, who pretended to have received miraculous healing from a car accident after the Pastor prayed for her.

Pastor Ikpom was also alleged to have hired one Bunmi Joshua to testify that her speech and hearing impaired child was healed by another Pastor, Favour Elijah Chimobi.

Chimobi, the founder of Elijah Ministry at No. 9, Igirita Street, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, allegedly conspired with Ikpom to fleece unsuspecting members of the public of their money and other valuables through their dubious practices.

Sources at the SCIID said that testimonies by the women were investigated and found to be false and all suspects were moved to the department for further investigation.

The Lagos Police Commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, assured residents that the suspects would be charged to court once the investigation was concluded.

TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PAY YOUR TITHES

-

MEANING OF TITHES The word tithes comes from the Hebrew word MA’ASER which means a tenth of the whole. That means if you have ten sticks, one would be the tithe. If you have a hundred sticks, ten would be the tithes. The majority of Christians today practice the tithe which they rightly equate as being ten percent of their gross income. But a careful look into the scriptures reveals that the Israelites whom Christians today are striving to emulate did not practice tithing the way it is done today.  Tithing for the Israelites was 23.3% of their gross income. You may wonder how it came to be that percentage when payment of ten percent only is what is emphasized by today’s church.  THREE TYPES OF TITHES The Jews in scriptures practice three types of tithes. Yes, you heard me right. There were three types of tithes that the Jews practiced. When you added all the three together, it amounted to a total of 23.3%. Levitical Tithes : Numbers 18:21-24, Malachi 3. The Levitical tithes

WHO IS THE SON OF MAN TO YOU?

Matthew 16:13-18 Jesus asked his disciples two questions when he was with them in the region of Caesarea. The first question was directed to the people outside his circle, hence he said, “Who do men say that I am?”  After they answered him, he redirected the question this time to his inner circle. “Who do you think I the son of man am?” Jesus asked his closest followers. This interaction shows us a certain number of things. The world has always been divided into two poles; the believers and the non-believers; those on the outside of Jesus’ influence and those on the inside of his influence; those that are close to him and those that aren’t. The scriptures use the expressions Jews and gentiles to adequately show this dichotomy. There are those that are in Christ and there are those that aren’t. There are those that are in Adam and there are those that are in Christ.Those that are in Christ’s inner circle have a different understanding of who He is than those that are without

ARE WE PREACHERS OR WITCHDOCTORS?

by :Conrad Mbewe  May 30, 2012   I came across a pamphlet today. It was given to me at the traffic lights while waiting for the lights to go green. It read as follows: My name is Stella Mwanza from Sinda (Eastern Province). I used to read in newspapers and listen to the radio about how different people were testifying concerning Pastor Elijah and I was so impressed with his healing powers that I decided to try him as I had a lot of problems. First, my husband was divorcing me as he accused me of having an affair with another man and even doubted our lastborn child. Pastor Elijah prayed for me and this calmed down my husband and now we’re happily married with our kids. I introduced a friend of mine to the same pastor who had an unstable marriage because her husband was sexually weak and had a tiny manhood. She was going out with other men to satisfy her sexual desire though she loved her husband. Pastor Elijah invited the couple to his place and prayed for both of them. Now
