Lord’s Chosen Church responds to mockery of viral testimonies
“Nigerians should visit the Church’s platform and listen to the complete testimonies for better understanding. The woman defeated the armed men in a dream.
“Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. They just cut one part and made it look real. The woman was explaining her dream.
“The viral video is a fake one. It was doctored.
“Most of these bloggers are very wicked and devilish, they edited this testimony in a bid to ridicule the work of God.”
The Church called out the recordings as fake on its platform and advised people to ignore it.
The Church would never take part in fabricating testimonials, according to The Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, which has denounced the parody of viral videos featuring member testimonies.
Nigerians were advised by the Church not to believe everything they read or see online.
It forewarned that certain bloggers were cunning and skilled at misrepresenting material.
The Church was answering a number of testimonies that went viral and were taken as gospel by online users.
One participant said that a lion had saved them.
"Something entered my back and lifted me up," declared the member of the Lord's Chosen. It carried me to express like an aircraft.
"It dropped me when it got there. I turned to see what was carrying me as it dropped me, and as I did, I saw that it was a lion.
The area was quite small and constricted when the lion dropped me, so it held up one hand and motioned for me to move in this direction (pointing to the left). The lion said, "Bye bye, when I go."
A female member claimed to have fought robbers and taken their AK-47 firearms in another video.
"Miraculously, I took control of their guns and made sure that three of the robbers were taken into custody," the woman stated.
Another male participant stated that he "without injury" withstood gunshot wounds, machete attacks, and kidnapping.
The Lord's Chosen Church announced that the tape was manipulated in response to the videos and the comments that went along with them.
The videos, according to Pastor Chidi Louis, the church's head of media and public relations, are "an attempt to discredit what God is doing.
“Nigerians should visit the Church’s platform and listen to the complete testimonies for better understanding. The woman defeated the armed men in a dream.
"Not everything you see online is reliable. They just made one section appear realistically sliced. The woman described her dream to me.
"The widely shared video is a hoax. It was altered.
"The majority of these bloggers are extremely evil and devilish; their goal in editing this testimony was to make fun of God's creation."
On its platform, the Church denounced the tapes as fraudulent and urged users to disregard them.
