Founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, Mike Bamiloye, has issued a stern warning to individuals who deliberately give fake testimonies in churches.
According to Bamiloye, those who take to the Lord’s altar to tell false stories about miracles are “playing pranks with God” and risking divine judgment.
The renowned evangelist, Bamiloye, criticised those who fabricate stories of divine intervention, claiming that such actions not only deceive the congregation but also mock God’s power.
“If you stand on the Lord’s Altar to give fake testimonies deliberately, you are playing pranks with God,” Bamiloye warned, emphasising the seriousness of such actions.
e disclosed this in a Thursday post in a Facebook post on his official account.
He also directed his message at bloggers who sensationalise issues within the Church, accusing them of working for the devil to embarrass and tarnish the image of the Church for monetary gain.
Bamiloye stated, “You bloggers, employed and paid by the devil to drag His body in the mud… are being used by the devil.”
The preacher reinforced his unwavering belief in God’s unlimited power, reminding Christians of biblical miracles, from bringing water out of a rock to multiplying bread.
He stressed that while God can do all things, false testimonies dishonour Him and risk the spiritual well-being of those involved.
According to the post, Bamiloye’s message serves as a sharp reminder to Christians about the dangers of deceit within the Church, urging all to be cautious and sincere in their faith.
His warning concluded with a solemn call for repentance, as those “playing pranks with God” are warned of the “terrible judgment” awaiting them.
BVN reports that fake testimonies—a trending issue—where individuals fabricate or exaggerate stories of divine intervention, pose significant ethical concerns, especially within religious settings.
These false accounts not only deceive congregations but also undermine the authenticity of genuine spiritual experiences. In some cases, content editors may be tasked with editing testimonies for publication, often enhancing the narrative for greater impact or engagement.
