Renowned gospel minister and founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, Mike Bamiloye, has strongly denounced the practice of sharing fake testimonies in churches.
In an Instagram post, Bamiloye described those who deliberately share untrue stories as “playing pranks with God.”
He emphasised that such actions are inspired by the devil to embarrass the Church and undermine its credibility.
Bamiloye’s statement came amid controversy surrounding miracle testimonies from the Lord’s Chosen Church that have gone viral online.
The evangelist stressed that God is capable of performing miracles, citing biblical examples, but warned against attributing false testimonies to Him.
He cautioned that those who engage in this practice risk facing God’s judgment and potentially misleading others.
He wrote: “Playing pranks with God! If you stand on the Lord’s Altar to give fake Testimonies deliberately, you are playing Pranks with God! If you mount the Altar of God to deliberately tell lies that God has done what He knew nothing about,
You are playing Pranks with God! If you arranged a fake Testimony to be said on the Lord’s Altar just to pump up congregation, You are Playing Pranks with God!
“If the devil set you ip to embarrass the Church through all his reckless Bloggers,
“And you bloggers looking for things to write against the Church of Christ, employed and Paid by the devil to drag His Body in the mud and stripe the Church naked in the marketplace for monetization, come-on, you are ignorant of the fact that you are being used by the devil.
“As for me, God is Unlimited, There is nothing, absolutely nothing He can not do! He can do all things! He brought waters out if the rock. He walked upon the sea. He brought out coin from fish mouth. He turned water to wine and multiplied bread in the hands of disciples. The entire Bible is full of mind blowing Miracles!
“Luke 1:37 KJV. For with God nothing shall be impossible. But if the Devil has given you a gift and you come to the Lord’s Altar to give God the glory,
You are Playing Pranks with God! He would not take the dirty glory of the Devil.
“He is King of Glory. If you are playing Pranks with God, I am so sorry for your derailing Soul. The Devil that employed you to do this has a damning agenda for your Soul. The Judgement of God is hanging upon all the Pranksters who are making Mockery of God and the Body of Christ. It is a Terrible Judgement!
They have misled multitudes of weak Christians.
“They have discouraged lots of new Converts. They have hardened the hearts of many unbelievers.
For the purpose of Monetization. If you Play Pranks with God, you are risking your Soul and Playing with God’s Judgement. #mikebamiloye”.
