Popular actor, IK Ogbonna, has reacted to the latest trend, ‘I’m a Chosen’. which is currently trending in social media.
Netizens, have, in the past days, been making fun of the testimonies made by members of the Lord Chosen Ministry.
In a recent IG reflection, however, Ogbonna warned pastors who are fond of staging miracles, to desist from such.
He warned that these dishonest practices by some church leaders could damage the church’s reputation and exploit trusting believers, using their faith for selfish purposes.
“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.”
Yet, he urged Christians to protect their faith and not let social media trends that ridicule or disrespect their beliefs influence them. The movie star added:
“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.”
Ogbonna also called on religious leaders, such as the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the government to be more decisive about the matter.
He pushed for tougher rules and accountability to make sure that those pretending to be pastors are held accountable for their behavior.
“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,” he said.
