Is Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin like Prophet T. B. Joshua -By Isaiah Ogedegbe

It is expected that the apparent “success” of TB Joshua’s ministry  will spawn copycats.  If you are wondering what our stance is on TB Joshua, look here. Prophet Omoto Fufeyin has not really been on our radar, probably because his ministry is in Warri. But a search provided all the information required – this guy operates just like TB Joshua with loud acts of charity,  very public and  showy focus on demons and “deliverance”. He is probably  better educated than TB Joshua, so he is more coherent, but otherwise, their modus operandi is the same.  And they have similar backgrounds as well, coming from severe poverty into stupendous wealth after their “ministries” took off.  Unfortunately, our people are so poor, and our institutions so weak that people are forced to run to people like this for help.  If we were able to build a society which gives people opportunities, if we were to properly educate our people, if we had a good health care system, if people had options, they would not turn to people who exploit their misery for profit.  You can find videos of  Prophet Fufeyin’s  “deliverances” here. Its TB Joshua all over again!  Apparently he was a member of Mountain of Fire and Miracles (MFM), but then they parted ways. In his own words:

First and foremost, I was a member of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM). It was there God called me. I started my ministry at Ijaw quarters in Warri. Initially, MFM leaders kicked against it but I decided to stand my ground.

In another interview, he said that MFM was against the miracles he was performing and so they parted ways: Excerpt below:

On how he started the church, the cleric explained that he was a member of Mountain of Fire Ministries (MFM) when God called him, adding that he left the church because they were against the miracles he was performing,

So how does he feel about being compared to TB Joshua?

On how he reacts when people call him junior T.B Joshua, Fufeyin declared: “It is true that people call me Warri T.B Joshua or Junior T.B. Joshua, but I believe that everything about T.B. Joshua is divine and natural. Frankly speaking, our father, T.B. Joshua having watched my programme on Mercyland Television was delighted because we are healing people too. I would also say that everything I am doing comes from God. May be it is the way people see me performing miracles, hence they address me as junior T.B. Joshua. Mind you, I am neither junior or Warri T.B Joshua, but I am Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin. Actually, we have only met during the incident that happened in his church in which part of the building collapsed and I paid him a condolence visit.”

That comment in red bold tells me all I need to know about him right there.  Unfortunately, these types of churches are full of the desperate and the seeking because of all the handouts they get. And he is very generous, just like his mentor.

“I have helped many people and that is my hallmark because I fall sick if I don’t help people. God has built that system in me that I must help people on daily basis. In fact I help people a lot. Above all, there is an office called “Act of his shepherd” that takes care of widows and the needy. Every Sunday I do give money to the needy, at least 200,000 and above. There are a lot of women who deliver their babies and we buy baby things for them,” he maintained.

These are perilous times, and there are many wolves out there in sheep’s clothing. May GOD grant us the spirit of discernment to be able to know who the true shepherds are. Amen!
