Stop Using Fake Miracles To Exploit People– Ik Ogbonna Blasts Nigerian Pastors

Published

on

In a recent Instagram post, actor Ikechuckwu Ogbonna spoke out against pastors who deceive and exploit vulnerable people using fake miracles.

He warned that these actions tarnish the true essence of Christianity, turning it into a tool for personal gain.

Ogbonna expressed his concern that using God’s name for false purposes is a betrayal of the gospel.

He emphasized that the consequences of such behavior are severe, leading to broken trust, lost lives, and faith being manipulated for profit.

He urged people to be mindful of religious exploitation and warned against falling for social media trends that mock and disrespect Christianity. According to Ogbonna, faith should never be reduced to a means for gaining likes, views, or viral fame online.

The actor also called for greater accountability, urging both the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the government to step in and regulate pastors who engage in fraudulent activities. He emphasized the importance of protecting the integrity of Christianity from such harmful practices.

Ogbonna’s post also included a Bible verse to reinforce his message: “Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, he will also reap.” He used this to remind pastors and religious leaders that their actions would have consequences in the long run.

He continued by expressing his heartbreak over seeing pastors use fake miracles for their own benefit, rather than promoting true faith. This, he said, distorts the message of Christianity and turns something sacred into a spectacle.

Ogbonna also addressed the victims of these false practices, reminding them that their faith is valuable and sacred. He urged them not to lose hope or trust in genuine religious practices, despite the deceptions they may have witnessed.

The actor made it clear that Christianity is about truth, love, and humility—not fraud, manipulation, or mockery. He warned that faith should not be trivialized or made into a social media trend, as this disrespects the deeper values of the religion.

He called for unity within the Christian community to stand against fraudulent religious activities. He encouraged believers to protect the core values of their faith and to resist any efforts that seek to undermine its integrity.

Ogbonna concluded his message by reiterating the need for action. He urged religious leaders and the government to work together to ensure that those who exploit faith for personal gain are held accountable for their actions.

In his final remarks, Ogbonna reminded everyone that true faith cannot be based on lies or deception. He called for a renewed commitment to genuine religious practice, grounded in the principles of truth, love, and humility.

Ogbonna’s comment is coming shortly after the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) said it has uncovered a scheme by Prophet Jeremiah Omoto, operating under Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries in Delta State, to sell unregistered products to unsuspecting Nigerians.

The products, including “miracle water” and “miracle soap”, are falsely claimed to be NAFDAC-approved and possess healing properties, such as curing barrenness and ensuring pregnancy with twins.
