A
Bishop of a popular Lagos church has made a startling allegation
against top Nigerian pastors, T.B. Joshua and Chris Oyakhilome.
TB Joshua and Chris Oyakhilome
The General Overseer of the Fingers of God Church,
Alagbado Lagos state, Bishop Kayode Joseph Abiola Peller, and son of
the late renowned magician, Professor Peller, has called out to the Senior Pastor of The Synagogue Church of All Nations, T. B. Joshua, and Chris Oyakhilome, Christ Embassy founder, accusing them of being magicians.
Bishop Kayode, a former renowned magician, said the duo, his colleagues in the ministry, use their eyes with demonic powers in them to superimpose their thoughts into people.
In
a recent interview with FLIP TV, he said, “What I see Temitope Joshua
do from my own magic experience is what we call mesmerism. It is also
called hypnotism.”
He claimed
that while T. B. Joshua uses Kabballah magic to hypnotize his
congregation and the general public over his miracles, Chris
Oyakhilome’s association with Joshua makes him a suspect.
Taking on
Oyakhilome, Kayode said, “I used to believe Oyakhilome before. That
ended the day I saw him and Joshua doing miracles and castigating our
pastors, Ayo and Okonkwo.
“When you castigate these great men of God, you are no more for God. They do miracles but don’t know what they teach.
“I would say they use magic on their followers since I was a former magician. I see in their actions hypnotism and seduction. I mean the way we used to seduce our congregation; those that come to watch our magic those days.
“I see mesmerism, hypnotism
and occult display in what they do. How can people jubilate over
atmosphere of miracles and before they get to the bus stop, the miracles
have gone. Miracles are not limited to atmosphere. God is in charge of
everywhere,” he added.
According to the Bishop, “They use the eyes
with the demonic power in them to superimpose their thoughts into
people. It happens, for most of those walking in the streets have very
weak spirits. For there is witchcraft ability in every man.
“That
is what we call telepathising: I mean, when I see them do their drama
of healing while dancing from one side to another. I know its hypnotism.
“These are dangerous occultist words. Telepathising, hypnotism, occultism, kabbalah magic are processes of ruling the minds of weaker men. It could go to the length of seeing the magic maker in the dreams once the weaker person allows the demonic spirit of the conjurer to influence his mind.”
Defending his criticism on the duo, the reformer
said, “Let nobody think that I am jealous of them because their
churches are big. If I want to make mine big I know what to do. I am the
son of Peller. I know where things happen.
“I am not a ‘mugu’, to
say the truth. They can’t fool me. I want to make heaven. I don’t want
my work to be a waste; for every work built on faulty foundation, shall
not stand the test of time.
“Foundation of deceit, occultism and
demonic power cannot stand the test of time when the owner leaves.
Jesus will deny them on that day.
“God only can say if Joshua is a real man of God. I don’t judge them; only God can do that.
“Having said all these, I have nothing against them. For I feel that nothing can be except God allows,” Bishop Kayode quipped.
