- Reverend Daniel Kolawole Olukoya has spoken out against fake prophets all around the nation - The founder of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Church says Christians must be weary of their antics - Olukoya says Christians must not allow desperation lure them into the arms of the wolves in sheep linen Reverend Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, the founder of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM) has warned Christians to take heed of false prophets. Olukoya alerted Christian faithfuls to be wary of false prophets who go around performing fake miracles. The pastor recounted the story of a woman who was tagged ‘barren’ and how a so-called pastor had sex with her on the grave yard in her quest for a child.

He said: “When you see someone from nowhere or someone just appears from nowhere, when you can’t identify the church where he got born again and you cannot even trace his roots to any church, then you should be very, very careful to associate with such a ‘man of God’. “These men are always in suits and they see visions. They speak strange languages that are very uncommon and they called it speaking in tongue, these people are always seen vibrating, while preaching. “The same fake prophets are the same sleeping in hotels with the wives of church members.” Daily Post reports that the cleric buttressed his points with an illustration of how a woman who had been begging God for a child went to one of the fake prophets for prayers. According to him, “The man asked her to sleep with him in a cemetery and the lady slept with him on a grave. “But the woman saw a padlock in his hand when she was having sex with him and the padlock was locked during the ejaculation and since then, the woman’s womb was blocked. Her problem multiplied. READ ALSO: Fast all in one -- UC Browser “Another fake prophet told someone to come to Nigeria, that he must have sex with her before she could prosper. "How could a man ask his church members to deposit water in bottles in the church for seven days?” he quizzed, adding that many of these things were now happening in Nigeria, and many signs and wonders we see in Nigeria now are sings of disobedience ‘fast means’." The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) has banned indecent dressing in all its branches worldwide. MFM stated this when the church’s media committee, led by its chairman, Pastor Oladele Bank-Olemoh, visited the headquarters of The Punch at Magboro, Ogun state. The church on Tuesday, July 12, said its major standard was holiness and that informed its decision to preoccupy itself with the preaching of the gospel. According to Bank-Olemoh, the general overseer, Dr Daniel Olukoya had warned that indecent dressing would no longer be tolerated in the church. Source: Naij.com READ MORE THINK IT IS IMPORTANT?

The group in a statement sent to NAIJ.com said it is not seeking bail for Kanu but for an unconditional release of their leader and ordered by courts in Nigeria and the freedom of the entire people of Biafra. The statement signed by Powerful Emma, the spokesperson for IPOB said: "One thing is certain, if anything happens to our leader Somalia will be a paradise compared to what will happen in Nigeria." "Some Nigerians with vested interest in the impoverishment of the masses think they know the might of Nnamdi Kanu but I can assure you they don't. We are not asking for bail, we are demanding his immediate unconditional release as ordered by the Federal High Court Abuja," Emma said. Emma further called on the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) to leave Nnamdi Kanu out of their issues. "We are not going to issues with Gbomo Jomo and mend again because IPOB is a mass movement that have branches and intellectuals all over the world. "Nnamdi Kanu with all due respect is bigger and greater than MKO Abiola so the comparison doesn't arise. Nnamdi Kanu is not seeking rulership of Nigeria like Abiola that could reasonably bring him into conflict with entrenched Northern interest whose sole desire is to continue ruling Nigeria. "What is baffling and a unique problem in Africa is the inability of conscientious people to rise up and insist on the truth. Why should the world not compel Buhari to obey a simple court order in a country that claims to know the meaning of the word "law"?" Emma said. READ ALSO: IPOB speaks on MEND, denies pact with group The group said it will be right for all Nigerians to call for the adherence and obedience to the rule of law rather than encourage dictatorship. "Nigerians who should know better that executive powers lies with Buhari but not judicial or legislative. Both arms combined is infinitely more powerful than the addressee presidency. "Instead of our leader to renounce Biafra he would renounce Nigeria publicly, mark our words. We are not after securing bail for our leader we are after his freedom and freedom for the people of Biafra. "Even a child born today knows that any attempt to tamper with Nnamdi Kanu's life will bring the sort of calamity too horrible to imagine in Nigeria. "For sake of clarity we must state that Abacha did not kill Abiola because they both were killed at roughly the same time. So for anybody to come from anywhere to kill our leader must also make sure they kill Buhari too in order to have the MKO Abiola scenario replicated," the group said. Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu has said he will never renounce Biafra as widely purported by MEND. He also said that his focus is the freedom of the Biafra people and nothing less.
