The General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere said many pastors now stage managed miracles in churches to attract people.
Apostle Chinyere said this in an interview with journalists at his office shortly after his 41 years birthday celebration and 8 years in the vineyard of the Lord.
The General Overseer of OPM stated that so many men of God now hire people to give false testimony in churches and God is not happy about it.
On how to know fake pastors from those called by God, he said if it is easy to investigate miracles because the person who is claiming to be healed must have an address, the hospital he attended and his name for verification.
The Man of God frowned at those who take the business of God for granted just because there is no job and they attended Bible College and are ordained, saying a lot of them called themselves and are not call by God.
He maintained that he has every reason to thank God for what God has done for him, including blessing him with a child and 8 years of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Chinyere said that the church has helped a lot of less privileged in the society in the areas of jobs, accommodation, provision of housing and youth training programmes in oil and gas.
Speaking further, he said his birthday message is to thank God for all he has done for him as he clocks 41 years and all the progress received so far from God, saying “that is the finger of God because he has given him and the church so much that he needs. He advised pastors to concentrate on the area they are called.
On 2015 general election, the man of God said he is not a politician but he prays for them and that politics is not a do or die affair.
The OPM General Overseer has earlier told journalists that the church has started praying against fake churches and pastors, saying that for the 8 years in the Ministry God has given him special gift and he cannot be manipulation of people’s mind, because miracles must be based on evidences.
Also speaking, Evangelist Eddy Oloko, a Permanent Secretary with the Rivers State Government said the celebration of the church at 8 years and the birthday of General overseer are worthy to celebrate.
Evag. Oloko maintained that OPM has spreaded to 90 branches all over the world saying is a hard work of God.
He advised the man of God to remain focus in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Addressing journalists shortly after the event, the President of the OPM men fellowship worldwide, Dr. Goodluck Tochukwu said the church building project is one of the key elements in the 8 years celebration of OPM ministry.
He estimated that the church building will cost N500 million for a befitting House of God, which will be built at the headquarters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, while wishing the General Overseer a happy birthday.
