CAN Expresses Shock Over Lord’s Chosen Member’s ‘Testimony’
The Christian Association of Nigeria has condemned the testimony of a suspected Lord’s Chosen member on how she was aided to carry out examination malpractice.
The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Lagos chapter, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, expressed disappointment that the church allowed such testimony.
According to him, the testimony was nothing short of fabrication.
In the testimony, the unidentified church member noted that she was able to carry out this task because of the apron she had on, she also stated that she was able to share her answers with other candidates.
In the now viral video, the suspected member of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry in Lagos, claimed an old man appeared to her in the examination hall and gave her answers to some questions.
Elaborating further, the woman said the exercise was one of the promotional examinations of the military (Army, Navy, and Air Force) and that there were about 50 questions, of which 40 bordered on career and 10 related to current affairs.
“We all had written our career questions. It then came to these very 10 questions, which asked, ‘Mention 10 Francophone countries and their capitals.’
“But when they returned the apron and I wore it back, the old man appeared again and began to tell the rest of the answers. I completed 10 good questions. I wrote them correctly and accurately. To me, it was like a dream.”
“Brethren, when I finished writing my questions, a sister who sat by my side was a Mountain of Fire member because of the logo on her clothing. As I took up the answer sheet and was cross-checking my write-up, I signaled to the woman, saying, ‘Sister, do anything you can do humanly possible. Any moment from now, I am going to submit my questions.’ While I was cross-checking, the sister quietly copied. And immediately she finished, brethren, I stood up and submitted my questions. Everybody in the hall was looking at me. That was how only two of us out of 102 were able to do this,” she added.
The church then began to celebrate as she finished her testimony.
Speaking with PUNCH, the CAN Chairman of the Lagos chapter, Bishop Adegbite , however said God would not work supernatural miracles that way, adding that there were no shortcuts to academic success other than hard work and belief in God.
He further stated that; “She is entitled to her opinion as she is the owner of her mouth. But for anyone to say such, we must verify that. We must see the people in the hall, and they must testify against her that that was never the situation.”
“But looking at it ordinarily, that is a foolish talk, and nobody should accept that. There are testimonies you don’t allow to be given in the church. And that is why before people give their testimonies, you should invite them and know what they want to talk about.
“If it is something that is good for public consumption, you should allow it to go. But if you know that the story they are telling can only be told to monkeys, you should ask the person to go and face the monkeys and say that, not in the church. So, that type of testimony should be served to the monkeys and not to human beings,” the Lagos State CAN chairman declared.
When asked his thought on such miracles, he said, “God doesn’t act that way. I have a Ph.D. Which God of Chosen will appear to you and give you answers to your examination questions?
“The God of Chosen will give you strength to read your books and go for the exams. There is no shortcut to success in life other than hard work and belief in God.”
