CAN To Discuss Controversial Testimonies By Chosen Members

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has penciled down for discussion at its next meeting, controversial testimonies shared by Chosen members.

Chosen is acronym for the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, a Pentecostal assembly with large following.

The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Lagos chapter, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, gave notice of the meeting while reacting to controversial testimonies of the ministry’s members which have been causing controversy online.

Among the controversial testimonies he referred to, was one by a sister who said an angel appeared to her during her recent promotional examination and availed her the answers to the questions..

Expressing shock that the church allowed the testimony, which he described as a fabrication, he said the Christian body would be meeting next Friday and would  address the controversies raised by the woman’s testimony and several other“unacceptable comments made by Pentecostal pastors on social media.”

“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.

“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”, he said, according to a Punch report.
