IK Ogbonna warns Nigerian pastors against fake miracles.

Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna, has called out the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, following the alleged trend of “fake miracles” in some churches.

Ik Ogbonna in an Instagram post complained about the use of God’s name for falsehood calling it a betrayal of the gospel.

He cautioned Christians about engaging in social media trends that disrespect their faith and also called on the federal government and CAN to regulate and hold the bad actors accountable.

“It is heartbreaking to see pastors faking miracles to deceive and exploit the vulnerable people. These acts stain the true essence of Christianity, turning faith into a spectacle for selfish gain. The consequences? Broken trust, lost lives, and faith manipulated for profit.

“To those pastors, it is time to reflect. Using God’s name for falsehood is a betrayal of the gospel. The victims should remember that their faith is sacred, and true miracles don’t come from deception.

“Let us also be cautious not to get carried away by social media trends that ridicule and disrespect our faith. Christianity should never be used as a tool for views, likes or viral content.

“I call on government and religious bodies like the CAN to step up, regulate, and hold bad actors accountable. Christianity is not fraud, manipulation, or mockery. Let’s stand to protect the integrity of our faith!”

The actor’s post came following the controversial video of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries’ members’ strange testimonies.

The trending video captured an elderly woman who claimed she was robbed by four armed men but miraculously gained control of their guns after saying “I’m a chosen.”

Similarly, another man testified that a lion rescued him from kidnappers by carrying him into the air and guiding him to safety.

A man also claimed that he survived kidnappers, machete attacks and gunshots “without sustaining any injuries”
