Pastor Lazarus Muoka of the Lord's Chosen Charismatic Ministries warns social media critic VeryDarkMan that he will "learn the hard way" for mocking the church's testimonies. This comes after VDM criticized members' claims, which many Nigerians found dubious. Muoka emphasizes the consequences of angering “God’s anointed.”
Pastor Lazarus Muoka, the General Overseer of the Lord's Chosen Charismatic Ministries, has conveyed a serious warning to social media critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM). This statement comes in response to VDM’s harsh criticisms of the church and its members, particularly regarding certain testimonies shared on social media that many have found implausible.
In a video addressing his congregation, Pastor Muoka referred to the backlash stemming from these testimonies, which included an elderly woman claiming she had subdued four armed robbers simply by invoking her pastor's name. Another testimony featured a man who claimed to have survived multiple violent encounters without any injuries. These accounts have drawn ridicule from many Nigerians, prompting widespread mockery of the church online.
Muoka aimed VDM’s remarks, suggesting that the critic would “learn the hard way” for his disparaging comments. He argued that it would not be the church facing consequences, but rather VDM who might experience difficulties due to his negative statements. The pastor clarified that he did not wish harm upon VDM but noted, “I cannot speak evil against any man, but I am telling you that VeryDarkMan is learning something today in a hard way.”
In closing, Pastor Muoka underscored the seriousness of angering someone he considers “God’s anointed,” implying that such actions could have severe repercussions for critics. His warning highlights the ongoing friction between religious figures and social media personalities in Nigeria, reflecting the broader implications of public discourse on religious institutions.
