False Teachers in Nigeria, Too
“I did not come with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:1-2). Definition of False Teacher: One who presumes to teach in the Name of the Lord when God has not sent him. False Teachers - Enoch Adeboye, T.B. Joshua, W.F. Kumuyi, Lazarus Muoka, Daniel Olukoya, Ayo Oritsejafor, Chris Oyakhilome, David Oyedepo False Teachers in Nigeria, Too We expose a passel of primped and pompous preachers from Nigeria, each one looking to be bigger and better than the next, not knowing they represent the anti-Christ in their presumptuousness. They have nothing whatsoever to do with the Lord Jesus Christ, except to take His Name in vain. Enoch Adeboye • T.B. Joshua • W.F. Kumuyi • Lazarus Muoka Daniel Olukoya • Ayo Oritsejafor • Chris Oyakhilome • David Oyedepo We received this note from a website reader: I am a Nigerian and I have navigated your website extensively. I would really appreciate it if you could do an expose on some of our pastors many of whom have links with some of the preachers like Benny Hinn (remember his failed crusade to Nigeria) and Reinhard Bonkee. The pastors are Ayo Oritsejafor, David Oyedepo, Chris Oyakhilome, TB Joshua, Lazarus Muoka, and Enoch Adeboye (once listed among 50 most influential people in the world). I await your reply. Edward Victor’s reply: Hi Edward, We looked into some of the information on the internet concerning the six African preachers you asked about.

Prosperity, Prophecy and the Covid-19 Pandemic the Healing Economy of African Pentecostalism
Pneuma 42 (2020) 430–459 brill.com/pneu Prosperity, Prophecy and the covid-19 Pandemic The Healing Economy of African Pentecostalism Asonzeh Ukah University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa [email protected] Abstract One of the intractable problems of Africa is socioeconomic development. It is a “wicked problem” that has defied decades of tinkering and tweaking of economic policies and government interventions. Like many African governments that succeeded oppressive colonial governments, many religious organizations frequently promise their members the help of divine power to deliver development. African Pentecostalism, especially the prosperity variant, has been at the forefront of promising to make its members healthy and wealthy through divine means. How the theology of plenty and healing has practi- cally improved the economic and therapeutic systems of Africa is a question of debate. Some scholars, in line with pentecostal self-representation, claim that Pentecostalism inspires development from below. This essay critiques this self-image of African Pen- tecostalism in the context of African economic indices and the raging and ravaging coronavirus disease pandemic. The covid-19 pandemic presents an important chal- lenge but also an opportunity to test the doctrines and claims of pentecostal leaders. In the attempt to cater to leaders’ economic self-interest, pentecostal responses to the pandemic have, however, been uncoordinated and have failed adequately to mobilize resources that serve its members and the larger society in

The Salvation Economy of African Megachurches
Chapter 15 Sacred Surplus and Pentecostal Too-Muchness: The Salvation Economy of African Megachurches Asonzeh Ukah 1 Introduction [E]verything is plastic, even life itself david chidester 2018:178 The beginning of the Christian Church is usually associated with the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the frightened followers of Jesus as narrated in Acts of the Apostle (Chapter 2). After Peter summoned courage to speak to the gathered “multitude”, the story concludes that many of those who heard the word, be- lieved and were baptised and were added to the church numbered “about three thousand” (Acts 2:41). Were this base community to be meeting weekly for liturgical purposes, it would have constituted the first Christian mega- church. However, for many reasons, the early church grew only slowly and met in small groups in members’ homes and often clandestinely. The experience and the phenomenon which the concept of ‘megachurch’ encapsulates is as old as Christianity itself; nevertheless, the coinage of ‘megachurch’, like many other nomenclatures with the prefix ‘mega’ (such as megacity, megaton), is recent and of American provenance, and probably first used in a scholarly con- text in the late 1970s (Dubios 1978). Mega – originally derived from the Greek megas meaning huge, and/or powerful – may have been the shortened form of one million (as a base of measurement), signifying an extremely large scale or excellent quality or sheer quantity. The megachurch denotes an excellent, great and successful church organisation or group. Its proliferation in Africa in recent decades signifies the appeal of its products to a large section of the African Christian population; its practices and organisational structure revolve around a princi- pal charismatic figure believed to be a supplier of sacred or salvation goods who is cast in the mould of a profit-driven spiritual entrepreneur.

I (August. 2017) PP 01-05 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Living Faith Church International A.K.A. Winners Chapel *Dr. T.A. Falaye Department Of Religious Studies Faculty of Arts Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria. Corresponding Author: Dr. T.A. Falaye Abstract: The study assessed the relevance of Winners’ Chapel to the indigenous society; the doctrines, administrative structure of the church, the financial income and expenditure. The methods used in this study include interview, observation and review of existing literature. The findings revealed that Winners’ Chapel as an indigenous church has more relevant to African Society particularly in the area of evangelizing Africa and meeting the needs of Africans. Finally, there is need for Winners’ Chapel to lay more emphasis on pietism and to define modesty and contentment to prevent materialistic tendency. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission: 14-06-2017 Date of acceptance: 28-07-2017 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- I. INTRODUCTION Living Faith International Church is one of the major indigenous churches in African that has left an indelible mark in the lives of African Christians most especially in the area of self-discovery, discovery of purpose as a requisite for meaningful human existence as well as status elevation that comes from spiritual understanding. Living Faith International is construed as a ministry with divine commission to liberate the African continent from all forms of Satanic oppressions. The leadership of the church, in addition to teaching the biblical principles for kingdom expansion, are committed to human resource development to enhance self- reliance, self economic and spiritual empowerment and financial and spiritual freedom.
