Some videos occurred in dream, not reality, Lord’s Chosen Church reacts to trending testimonies
The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries has responded to online mockery regarding a recent testimony, affirming that the church does not fabricate testimonies.
Pastor Chidi Louis, Head of Public Relations and Media for the church, clarified that a viral video allegedly showing a church member claiming to have disarmed four armed robbers and seized an “AK-27” rifle was fabricated.
Pastor Louis emphasized that the testimony in question was not endorsed by the church and reiterated the church’s commitment to upholding the truth in all its testimonies.
Louis stated, “Nigerians should disregard the fake video and visit our church platform to listen to the complete testimony for better understanding. The woman’s story occurred in a dream, not in reality.”
He warned, “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Bloggers often edit content to ridicule the work of God. Most of these bloggers are wicked and devilish.”
The church’s media department also denounced the clip as fake on its platform and urged the public to disregard it. The full clip of the lady’s testimony was released on the church’s TikTok handle, clarifying that her story was a dream.
The controversy stemmed from a viral video where a woman testified about defeating four armed robbers and collecting a pistol, which she called an “AK 27.” A pastor corrected her, stating it was an AK 47.”
