The General Overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, Lazarus Muoka, has sounded a note of warning to controversial social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, to desist from speaking ill of his church or face God’s wrath.
Speaking to his congregation in a recent video on Thursday, Mouka said, “VeryDarkMan is learning something today in a hard way” — implying that the activist is in a difficult situation due to his remarks about Chosen.
The warning is coming on the heels of viral social media clips that surfaced last month showing church members sharing strange testimonies.
Recall that a member of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries claimed that a lion miraculously saved him from kidnappers while another member equally claimed to have fought off armed robbers, saying she miraculously seized their AK-47 rifles and secured the arrest of three of the robbers.
Another male member recounted surviving a kidnapping, machete attacks, and gunshot wounds “without injury”.
Reacting to these testimonies, VeryDarkMan, called on the Christian Association of Nigeria to investigate the testimonies, accusing the church of misleading Christians with exaggerated claims while also threatening legal action against the Lord’s Chosen Church over a series of controversial testimonies shared by its members.
In his response, Muoka said, “Somebody came to talk to me and said ‘Pastor, do you see this man that is talking against us? The man said Chosen people will learn something the hard way,” he said.
“And he mentioned the name of the man and he is called VeryDarkMan. I said no, Chosen will not learn something the hard way and that he is the one who will learn something the hard way.
“I didn’t speak evil of him. I only made a statement. I don’t want to speak evil, because if I say anything negative or evil, it will happen immediately.
“I cannot speak evil against any man but I’m telling you that VeryDarkMan is learning something today the hard way. I didn’t say that in order to punish him, I only said what he said. If God’s anointed gets angry with you, you are finished.”
Muoka’s remarks came amid VeryDarkMan’s controversy involving Bobrisky, the crossdresser, rapper Falz, and his father Femi Falana, as well as some officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
