This is ridiculous …at the same time
whom can you blame but the ‘MUMU’ and gullible members! A woman simply
identified as Madam Bosede was burnt beyond recognition after a prophet in her
church, the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) on Unity Street in Abule-Egba in
Lagos, set her ablaze while trying to show that he was a true man of God during
his sermon last Sunday January 17th.
According to The Nation, the prophet while preaching, said he heard the "spirit of God" tell him that he was in their midst and that that if he sets the woman ablaze, nothing will happen to her. He called up the woman, asked for Kerosene to be poured on her right in the church and then struck a match stick. Unfortunately, she started burning. Narrating what happened, Bosede said

“Our prophet said the spirit of God
whispered to him that I would not burn if he sets me on fire. When I came out,
they poured kerosene on my body and set me ablaze.
But, unfortunately, I was burnt
beyond recognition and before the other church members could get water, the
deed had already been done.”he said Speaking on the incident, the prophet said
he clearly heard a voice instructing him to set a member on fire to prove and
confirm that God was in their midst. “I heard the voice clearly, but I don’t
know what happened after we set fire on her. God has been speaking to me since
and it has been working, so I wonder why now,” he said. The victim is currently
lying critically ill in the hospital.
Meanwhile some members of the church
have sworn never to go back to the church again “We cannot worship here again.
Who knows who the spirit will ask him to burn next.”one of them said.
A resident of the area identified as Irene
Ohekina said: “I don’t pity her; she was the one who allowed herself to be
deceived by the prophet. Why did the prophet not try the fire on himself or any
of his family member?” Another resident simply Nkechi said for the prophet to have
given such instruction, it must have come from God, adding “I believe it’s the
sins of the victim that made her burn, the prophet of God could not have
lied.”she said
