Fake miracles are mocking Christianity – IK Ogbonna calls on govt to take action

By Precious Osadebe

Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has reacted to the increasing prevalence of fake miracles in churches, calling on the Nigerian government and religious bodies to take action.

In a post on his Instagram page on Wednesday, Ogbonna urged pastors to reflect on their actions and reminded Christians that genuine miracles do not stem from deception.

He emphasised the need for transparency and sincerity within religious practice.

IK Ogbonna wrote, “Fake Miracles Are Mocking Christianity

“It’s heartbreaking to see pastors using fake miracles to deceive and exploit vulnerable people. These acts stain the true essence of Christianity, turning faith into a spectacle for selfish gain. The consequences? Broken trust, lost lives, and faith manipulated for profit.

“To those pastors, it’s time to reflect—using God’s name for falsehood is a betrayal of the gospel. To the victims, remember your faith is sacred, and true miracles don’t come from deception.

“Let’s also be cautious not to get carried away by social media trends that disrespect and ridicule our faith. Christianity should never be used as a tool for likes, views, or viral content.

“I call on the government and religious bodies like the Christian Association of Nigeria to step up, regulate, and hold these bad actors accountable. Christianity is about truth, love, and humility—not fraud, manipulation, or mockery.

“Let’s stand together to protect the integrity of our faith!.”

This is coming on the heels of the controversial testimonies from members of the Lord’s Chosen Church that had gone viral with many questioning the veracity of the testimonies.
