CAN slams Lord Chosen over member claims ‘angel’ gave her exam answer

The chairman of the Lagos chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Bishop Stephen Adegbite, has expressed dismay over a viral testimony by a member of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries.

It would be recalled that a video featuring a woman, allegedly a member of The Lord’s Chosen  recounting how an “old man” appeared in the examination hall and provided her with answers, which she then shared with a fellow candidate surfaced on social media.

“Brethren, nobody knew this question. So, all I did was to raise the question paper and declare to it: ‘I am a Chosen! I am a chosen!! I am a chosen!!! This question: who are you? Where is the God of my pastor power?’” she asked.

“Then, suddenly, an old man appeared by my right-hand side in white apparel. He told me, ‘My daughter, begin to write.’ And I began to write.”

Reacting, Adegbite described the testimony as “fabrications,” after which  criticized the church for allowing such testimonies while emphasizing the importance of verifying such ‘testimonies‘.

He emphasized that divine assistance doesn’t come through miraculous exam answers but through hard work and faith.

Adegbite said CAN plans to meet on September 28 to address the concerns.

He said, “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.”
