Apostle Wisdom, a self-proclaimed former associate of several prophets, has exposed the inner workings of staged miracles in some Nigerian churches.
In an interview with KaaTruths titled “The Unveiling of how fake miracles are staged,” Wisdom revealed the shocking details of how he was manipulated into participating in a fake miracle.
Wisdom recounted how he was approached by a prophet who claimed to have seen his spiritual gifts and wanted him to travel to Enugu State for a programme.
“He said that he saw what God used me to do through his junior and he wants me to travel with him to Enugu that I am helping the Holy Spirit to move and I shouldn’t disappoint the Holy Spirit,” Wisdom said.
Upon arrival in Enugu, Wisdom claimed he was instructed to pretend to be possessed by a spirit and manifest during the crusade.
In the interview, Wisdom revealed that he was initially deceived into believing that the prophet’s powers were real. “I didn’t know anything, I believed everything…I was like I am even a helper to the Holy Spirit,” he said.
However, Wisdom soon realised that the prophet’s intentions were not genuine. “I discovered that it was all a setup…they were just using me to make money,” he said.
Wisdom’s experience highlights the dangers of blind faith and the importance of discernment. “People should be careful, they should not just believe anything…they should investigate and find out the truth,” he warned.
He recounted the experience, saying, “He wanted me to travel with him to Enugu that he had a programme with the Assemblies of God Church at Okpara Square, that was where he was having a programme.
“Then I went to Enugu; that was the first time I met Bishop LB Kawas because he was also in that crusade.
“They were together, they came together Kawas. Then what they said I should do there was that they would prophesise to me that “there is somebody here, you are serving somebody and a spirit entered you, you burned your oga’s house, burned his car, killed two of his children and you are here, come out because if you don’t come out you will kill yourself, you will kill your parents and you will kill everybody.”
“Already they told me not to come out oh! that I should wait after the count of five. Assemblies of God people they like to enter into spirit and they were already in spirit, some people were already speaking in tongues, voices were already coming.
“Some people were already rolling them on ground, some are already saying thus says the Lord, come out my son. I am serious but the Assemblies of God don’t know what I am saying and Bishop Kawas knows about it. He was also a guest speaker. It is not a church but it is a programme organised by Assemblies of God in Enugu but held at Okpara Square. When it was time to manifest, I sparked; almost 10 people were trying to hold me but they couldn’t until they dragged me to the stage where he was standing.
“He was putting on a white suit that very day, he is a very handsome man. So he prayed for me, poured water on me and said that I am free, I should go, that the spirit has left me that I should go. My brother I was going majestically I didn’t know that more than seven or eight able bodied men were following me, in short they were even leading me to a place to go to. Assemblies of God pastors, Deacons and elders they gathered to carry me to their office, sat me down first; they gave me water to drink and they brought a pen and paper.
“And they started interrogating me – what is that name of your oga you were serving, where is he living? I am telling you real facts. That your oga, where is he staying? What kind of business is he doing? Where is his shop? Where are you from? I said I could not remember anything. For more than one hour I could not disclose anything – I don’t remember something and that was my stand. I told them that the spirit left and I couldn’t remember anything.
“So they tried and tried I didn’t say anything. I was like I don’t know, I didn’t know anything as the spirit left, it left with my memory. I couldn’t remember anything. These guys tried all their possible best to get any information from me but no way. I don’t know how they managed to notice that I came with Pastor Nath being the junior pastor of Prophet Pardon. Pastor Nath is not a guest speaker, he came neutral but he was the one that brought me because I didn’t know road so we came together – maybe they were the people that saw us.
“They went and also carried him and from that office they called police. The next thing I ssaw myself inside the Hilux heading to police station to go and explain how the spirit killed two children and you burned down your oga’s house and cars.”
The interview with Apostle Wisdom has sparked widespread outrage and debate, with many calling for greater accountability and transparency in churches.
As the conversation continues, one thing is clear: the truth about staged miracles must be exposed, and those responsible must be held accountable.
“The church has been manipulated for so long with fake miracles, testimonies and prophecies because of lack of discernment in the church,” said one of the commenters in the Facebook.
“Nobody takes you serious when you speak truth like this, these big men of God are scammers, it happened in my then church in Nteje, from that day, I stopped going to church, the issue is the owners of the church don’t know those invited for programme do this rubbish, they’re interested in building their church followership.”
