Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna has condemned the influx of fake miracles in churches.
Speaking via a post on his Instagram page, the thespian warned that deceiving and exploiting vulnerable people stains the true essence of Christianity.
Ogbonna emphasised that using God’s name for falsehood is a betrayal of the gospel and warned that the consequences of such actions are broken trust, lost lives, and faith manipulated for profit.
He also cautioned against getting carried away by social media trends that disrespect and ridicule faith, stressing that Christianity should never be used as a tool for likes, views, or viral content.
Ogbonna called on the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the government to step up, regulate, and hold accountable pastors engaging in fraudulent activities.
He wrote: “Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows he will also reap. 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!”.
