Defending the Faith: Exposing the Blackmail Campaign Against Nigerian Churches

The ongoing blackmail campaign targeting churches in Nigeria, led by individuals such as Martins Vincent Otse, also known as ‘VeryDarkMan,’ has ignited deep concerns among the Christian community. These malicious attacks, aimed at undermining the credibility of spiritual leaders and church practices, are not only damaging but threaten the unity of Christians in Nigeria.

The troubling aspect of this situation is the silence of the Christian body, leaving spiritual leaders like the late Senior Prophet TB Joshua and Prophet Jeremiah Omoto vulnerable to false accusations. For instance, Otse’s claims about the sale of “miracle water” by Prophet Omoto led to an unnecessary NAFDAC investigation, even though the water came from a legitimate source, Globod Table Water. Despite the findings, the agency went ahead with a misleading publication, further harming the church’s reputation.

This raises an important question: Would these individuals have the courage to launch similar attacks against the spiritual practices of other religions, such as the use of Zam-Zam water in Islam?

The discrediting of spiritual materials is not just an attack on individual churches, but an assault on religious practices that hold deep meaning for millions. Across denominations, items like holy water, oil, and aprons are essential for healing and deliverance. Their significance mirrors practices like the Roman Catholic use of communion bread, which, through consecration, becomes the body of Christ.

Christians must recognize that the assault on these practices is part of a broader strategy to weaken Christianity in Nigeria. It’s time for the Christian community to break its silence and take a united stand against those seeking to tarnish the faith. The Nigerian government must also be called upon to act decisively against these blackmailers, protecting religious freedom and ensuring that the body of Christ remains strong.

An injury to one church is an injury to all—now is the time for Christians to defend their faith and unity in the face of these attacks.

APC Raises Alarm Over Fake Court Ruling Disqualifying Okpebholo from Edo Governorship Election

With less than 24 hours to the Edo State Governorship Election set for September 21, 2024, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised an alarm over a fake court ruling circulating online, falsely claiming that their candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo (Akpakomiza), has been disqualified. The party, in a statement released by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, condemned the ruling as a fabricated attempt to mislead the electorate and disrupt the democratic process.

Morka expressed deep concerns about the spread of the false information, calling it a “desperate act” designed to confuse voters on the eve of the election. He emphasized that Senator Okpebholo remains the legitimate and undisputed APC standard-bearer, urging voters to disregard any claims to the contrary. “This fake news is meant to sow seeds of doubt and subvert the will of the Edo electorate. It must be thoroughly rejected by the good and discerning people of Edo State,” Morka said, stressing that no court had issued such a ruling.

The APC also called on law enforcement agencies to swiftly investigate the origin of the fabricated ruling and bring those responsible to justice. Morka reaffirmed the party’s faith in the electoral process and urged Edo voters to stay vigilant and resolute. “We trust that the Edo people will reject these illegal devices aimed at derailing the election,” he added. As the state gears up for election day, the APC remains confident in Senator Okpebholo’s chances and encouraged citizens to cast their votes based on truth and integrity.

OPEN LETTER FROM MC OROBO ON WHY PASTOR KOREDE KOMAIYA IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OF THE PASTORS BISHOP OYEDEPO RELEASED.

Life is a drama of sorts. Have you ever wondered why several students sit in the same hall for years and on graduation, only few can be counted as truly successful? The answer can be unveiled from the story of one erudite personality who is currently making waves globally.

Pastor Korede Komaiya, Presiding Pastor of The Master’s Place International Church, spent twenty productive years serving and being tutored, under the Icon of Faith, Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church Worldwide. So successful and evidently useful was his service stint, the Bishop himself affirmed, “you never gave me pain all these years”.

While some other pastors saw themselves as salary earners, Pastor Korede Komaiya saw himself as a partaker with the undertaker. In other words, he saw himself as one called alongside Bishop Oyedepo, and this mind positioning led to his taking the assignment so seriously that he considered no sacrifice too big provided it was going to further the course of God’s Servant, the Bishop.

So dogged was his followership that at a point he stopped using his monthly salary for himself, He considered it only proper to give it back to the accounts office for projects in church. Also, he wouldn’t stop sowing relentlessly into the life of Bishop David Oyedepo, whom he considers his revered father in the Lord.

Some pastors had the impudence of refusing to be posted to certain locations whenever they received a letter to that effect, or ‘disappearing from the radar’ when they arrive at beautiful foreign postings. Pastor Korede Komaiya never considered any posting a form of punishment. He always dived headlong into it as a faithful and diligent missionary whether in the deserts of West Africa, the Muslim north or rural westlands of Nigeria or the seemingly more attractive cities in the southern parts of Africa, always coming back to base with outstanding results in record time. It has always been his habit to never complain, even when he would pass through obvious hardship in some of these terrains.

Indeed, we can rightly say that grace found Pastor Korede Komaiya and his amiable wife, Pastor Esther Komaiya because of unrivalled loyalty and diligent service.

Till date, it is always his habit to sow financial and material seeds of honor to the Bishop and even extending same to Mummy Faith Oyedepo and the entire family. Should we make mention of cars? He has continually sowed not a few luxurious brands to this great Man of God. Should we speak of landed properties? Not a few!

Bishop Oyedepo will not be hosting a major global event that will not attract the religious attention of Pastor Korede Komaiya. In the twinkling of an eye, he will be at Canaan land to attend. Nothing will make him host a program at his church during such periods. Pastor KK as he is popularly called, would disconnect from anyone that so much as mentions Bishop Oyedepo’s name in the slightest shadow of a bad light. No one dare speak condescendingly of this icon in his presence. It will mean the inglorious end of a relationship with such a person. Wherever he goes, he would defend Bishop Oyedepo with all his might. As a firm believer in the concept of ‘Full Identification’ with a proven carrier of grace, he follows Bishop Oyedepo unashamedly without reservations in his heart. No wonder today, none can dare Pastor KK and not receive a fatal judgemental punishment from God. It is the case of a loyal son, on whom an inheritance of ‘touch not’ has been bestowed.

At a time, Papa (Bishop Oyedepo) asked and declared, “Komaiya, is it me you have honoured like this? Come up to my level!”. We are all witnesses to the obvious outcome of this fatherly pronouncement. Pastor KK has entered a cruising level of grace ever since.

Pastor Korede Komaiya has always believed that God will reward the “partaker with the undertaker”, to the level that He rewards the actual undertaker. Today as a son, and as a man of great sacrifice, this belief has continued to work wonders for him.

The proofs of these are numerous. We cannot completely enumerate the totality of the replication of the exact grace upon the Bishop, actively at work in Pastor KK’s life and ministry. We see it in the way multitudes of people flock into the services at the Master’s Place international Church (both Mid-week and Sundays). Dare I mention the massive influx of international delegates from all continents of the world that overwhelms hotels in the city whenever he organizes special conferences? Or the multitude of hungry souls that parks out venues of his international crusades and conferences?

Just as amazing miracles have trailed the teachings of the Bishop right from the onset of The Living Faith Church, nothing short of the same has been the case for Pastor KK in life and ministry. He has witnessed the supernatural power of God manifest in miraculous healings and deliverances in practical terms.

Through his reformative and restorative delivery of the word of God, his ministry continues to draw multitudes, as people from all walks of life are touched by his teachings and apostolic leadership both in two expressions of his church services – Church Unusual and Another Level. One is held in awe as hopeless situations experience a new surge of life because one man dared to believe in the power of honoring and being loyal to his upline.

It is not a surprise that Pastor KK’s life is bearing fruits in accordance with the faith family that he belongs to. At Warri, Delta State Nigeria where his ministry is headquartered, God is building a multi-billion naira state of the art edifice, the Dreamland. This breathtaking project fast nearing completion shall be a major landmark in that city.

Today, multitudes benefit from Pastor KK’s scholarship program, which extends from nursery school to the university level. Widows and the underprivileged in their multitudes are constant beneficiaries of his magnanimity and generosity. Those who work closely with him attest to an exceptional staff welfare package, one that is rare to find anywhere on earth. In addition to the fact that all staff members receive educational scholarships for their children, they also enjoy special allowances, provided periodically, further enhancing their well-being.

On the home front, this ardent loyalist of Bishop Oyedepo is experiencing what he often calls a Heaven-on-Earth marriage, blessed with four upwardly mobile young men.

For a man who went on a ‘dangerous’ seed sowing spree after he came out from the Winners Chapel, to the extent that he almost came down to zero level, today his level of wealth is a testimony so humongous that it will take his one time contemporaries many light years to reach his height.

In all, Pastor KK has consistently demonstrated a remarkable grace in the three key areas of ministry: Miracles, Multitudes, and Money (financial prosperity) which undoubtedly is the same feat being commanded by Bishop David Oyedepo.
