Reactions As Lord’s Chosen Church Members Give Testimonies
‘Lion Rescued Me From Kidnapers’- Church Member
I Fought Robbers, Took Their AK-47 Rifles – Another Member
The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries has come under scrutiny after a series of extraordinary testimonies from its members went viral, drawing mixed reactions from Nigerians.
The testimonies, which include claims of miraculous rescues by lions and the overpowering of armed robbers, have sparked both skepticism and ridicule across social media.
In one testimony, a member claimed to have been rescued by a lion.
“When it reached there, it dropped me. When it dropped me, I turned to look at what carried me and as I looked it was lion.
“So when the lion dropped me, the place was very narrow and tight, it now raised one hand up and asked me to go like this (pointing to the left). When I go, the lion said bye bye.”
In another video, a female member said she fought robbers and took their AK-47 rifles.
She said: “Miraculously, I gained control of their guns and ensured the arrest of three of the robbers.”
Another male member claimed he survived kidnapping, machete attacks, and gunshot wounds “without injury”.

Meanwhile, Nigerian activist and critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has threatened legal action against the Church over the series of controversial testimonies shared by its members.

He also wrote in the post: “CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA, get ready for me ooo. This nonsense needs to stop. Now they’re even claiming to have spiritual iron in their heads? All these Chosen members…”
In response to the videos and the comments that accompanied them, the Lord’s Chosen Church declared that the footage were doctored.
The Head, Public Relations and Media, of the church, Pastor Chidi Louis, described the videos as “a bid to discredit what God is doing.
“Nigerians should visit the Church’s platform and listen to the complete testimonies for better understanding. The woman defeated the armed men in a dream.
“Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. They just cut one part and made it look real. The woman was explaining her dream.
“The viral video is a fake one. It was doctored.
“Most of these bloggers are very wicked and devilish, they edited this testimony in a bid to ridicule the work of God.”
The Church called out the recordings as fake on its platform and advised people to ignore it.
