The Lagos State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has instructed the leadership of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries to thoroughly review testimonies shared by its members during services.
This directive follows widespread backlash over a viral testimony that was deemed misleading by the Christian body.
The testimony involved a church member claiming that an old man appeared to her during an exam and provided answers, which she shared with another member of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.
Reacting to this, Lagos CAN Chairman, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, labeled the story as “an utter fabrication,” stating, “We reject vehemently any testimony that is not reasonable and sensible, which can be misleading and bring disrepute to the name of Christ.”
He added that future testimonies must be vetted to ensure they align with Christian values and truth.
Adegbite confirmed that CAN held a meeting with the leadership of the church and instructed them to change how testimonies are shared.
“We told the leaders to ensure that they ask their members what they want to say before giving them the microphone.
If what they want to say is not good for public consumption, it should be disallowed,” Adegbite noted, emphasizing the importance of truth in the church.
