Nigerians have expressed displeasure after Edo state governor, Monday Okpebholo, visited the popular Streams of Joy International Church aka NSPPD under the leadership of pastor Jerry Eze to testify about his victory during the 2024 gubernatorial election.
Okpbeholo visited the church on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
The Governor said that despite his fear regarding the election’s outcome, he was confident in the church’s slogan: ‘What God cannot do does not exist.’
However, some Nigerians took to X to express their thoughts, stating that Pastor Jerry should have stopped Okpebholo from climbing the pulpit to share his testimony, considering the alleged rigging, which flawed the election.
@ose_anenih: “God will not be mocked, @RealJerryEze There was a time when mighty men of God would speak truth to power. Today, pastors used their putrefying platforms to celebrate society’s perversions. A rigged election is what your god is using to prove his divinity? God will not be mocked, Pastor Jerry.”
@MarthaOnoriode: “Giving him the mic was all shades of wrong. May these corrupt politicians not corrupt the altar. He never won the elections. God cannot be mocked. I hope this testimony is not reaired on NSPPD.”
@RealErimus: “And you’re blaming pastor Jerry for this? I guess the church shouldn’t have given him space to share his testimony. His testimony doesn’t make God a liar!!!”
@messersEze: “Imagine the congregation shouting at the top of their voices in celebration for this. For them,this God is so good. It is okay o. We deserve what has befallen us as a people.”
@FemiEMohammed: “The church service is broadcasted live & we cant expect @RealJerryEze to standup & tell the ushers not to allow testimony givers to prevent him from coming to the front. Where I will fault Jerry Eze is if he adds this mans testimony to his daily morning sessions testimonies clips”
@nonsorous: “He uses the foolish things like what exactly? Like illiterates rising to power where they can’t do anything positive with it? Or God uses the foolish things such result writing and vote buying to confound the wise? Which is it? We must do betta else the church would not be spared”
@Aikoges: “As much as I worship with @RealJerryEze, I won’t be blinded by dogma to stay silent. The INEC-selected governor, installed by a corrupt system, has the audacity to stand at the altar and testify about his ‘victory.’ This is a mockery of faith. His day of reckoning will come.”
@FNwabuwe: “Obviously, this has nothing to do with God. Isaiah 5:20 ” Woe to those who call evil good… “
Any evil or injustice has nothing to do with God. It looks good. It feels good but it is not right. It is not of God. REPENT!”
