The Lord’s Chosen Church dismisses viral testimony controversy, urges caution on Social Media

In response to internet trolling about a recent testimony, The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries has emphasized that the church does not fake testimonies.

Head of Public Relations and Media, Pastor Chidi Louis, responded to accusations made public on the internet concerning a church member’s testimony. He clarified that a widely circulated video, which appeared to show a member claiming to have taken custody of a “AK-27” and disarmed four armed robbers, was a fabrication.

Louis declared, “For a deeper understanding, Nigerians should visit our church platform to listen to the entire testimony and ignore the phony film. The woman’s account was based on a dream, not actual events.

He warned, “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Bloggers often edit content to ridicule the work of God. Most of these bloggers are wicked and devilish.”

The church’s media department also denounced the clip as fake on its platform and urged the public to disregard it. The full clip of the lady’s testimony was released on the church’s TikTok handle, clarifying that her story was a dream.

The controversy stemmed from a viral video where a woman testified about defeating four armed robbers and collecting a pistol, which she called an “AK 27.” A pastor corrected her, stating it was an AK 47.”
