I Am A Chosen One: CAN Reacts Strongly To Exam Malpractice Claims

A viral video featuring a woman believed to be a member of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry in Lagos has sparked significant outrage. In her testimony, she claimed to have received divine assistance during a Federal Government examination, stating that an old man in white appeared to her and provided answers to some questions…….CONTINUE READING 

The woman described the exam as a promotional test for military recruitment, consisting of 50 questions—40 related to career and 10 to current affairs. She recounted struggling with a particularly challenging question about Francophone countries, leading her to proclaim, “I am a Chosen!” and invoke the power of her pastor.

According to her, the old man appeared again after an invigilator removed her apron, helping her complete all ten questions. She claimed only she and another candidate, who was a member of a different church, were able to answer any questions successfully.

The church erupted in celebration after her testimony, but it drew criticism from Bishop Stephen Adegbite, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Lagos. He described her account as a fabrication and emphasized that success comes through hard work and faith, not shortcuts. He noted that the Christian body would discuss the incident further in an upcoming meeting.

Bishop Adegbite criticized the permissiveness of the church in allowing such testimonies, suggesting that some stories should not be shared publicly. He also referenced other unusual testimonies from the church, labeling them as exaggerations.

In response, Pastor Chidi Louis, the church’s Head of Public Relations, defended the testimonies, asserting that they reflect the personal experiences of members and should not be censored, even if they seem outlandish.
