The General Overseer of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, on Wednesday, reacted to an alleged criticism of his church by social media activist, Martins Otse, widely recognized as VeryDarkMan.
The church in the last few weeks has been in the news following some testimonies shared by members of the church.
In one video, an elderly woman claimed she was attacked by four armed robbers but miraculously gained control of their guns.
Another testimony featured a man who said he survived a kidnapping, machete attacks, and gunshots “without sustaining any injuries.”
Addressing his congregation in a recent video, Pastor Muoka said he had been informed that VeryDarkMan had made negative comments about the church, allegedly stating that “Chosen members will learn the hard way.”
In response, Muoka implied that the activist himself was facing difficulties as a result of his remarks.
He said, “Someone came to me and said, ‘Pastor, do you see this man who is speaking against us? He said Chosen people will learn something the hard way.’ And he mentioned the man’s name—VeryDarkMan. I said, ‘No, Chosen will not learn the hard way; he will be the one to learn the hard way.’”
Muoka was quick to clarify that he bore no ill will toward the activist, stating, “I didn’t speak evil of him. I only made a statement. I don’t want to speak negatively, because if I say anything negative or evil, it will happen immediately.”
He continued, “I cannot speak evil against any man, but I am telling you that VeryDarkMan is learning something today in a hard way. I didn’t say it to punish him, I only echoed his words.”
Muoka concluded with a warning: “If God’s anointed gets angry with you, you are finished.”
