Coming on the heels of stern denial by the woman, now identified as ‘Mrs Bose Ola’ in the center of the fake miracle debacle, that she was paid millions of Naira to fake miracles of healing, Ambassadors of Christ Assembly, a Pentecostal prophetic ministry based in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital has also come out to deny rumours trending on social media that the woman was also paid by its General Overseer/Senior pastor, Prophet Godwill Abbey to fake ‘miracle’.
The church through a statement signed by it’s Secretary, Michael Joseph on Saturday, averred that lots of persons get healed in the church through the ‘healing power of Jesus Christ’ in their services, adding that many of those healed are today, members of the church.
“Ordinarily we should ignore such rumours as we know its mere accusations that will phase out but it became pertinent to clear the air.
“On one of our regular thursday midweek services, a lady came to church and sat amongst the sick believing God for healing and was brought out for prayers, while asking the man of God to help her, she explained that she had been to different churches with her arm disability and after prayers she gets healed and after a while it returns, the General Overseer had compassion on her and prayed for her, right there she got healed”, the statement said.
The statement however noted that the woman was a visitor and left the church after service, stressing that the church never had any interaction with her thereafter.
“It is also important to note that prior to her attendance neither our senior pastor nor pastors knew her.
“Shockingly, we woke up on Thursday to the news about her miracle being rumoured to be fake, we wish to state categorically that God heals and is supreme. If she received her healing in other places and the infirmity returned, should the church have turned her back?
“Lastly, we just got wind that she has been interviewed by pressmen and she stated clearly she went to the different churches in search of healing as the illness reoccures after she has been prayed for, she also testified that not a dime was given nor received from our Prophet, Godswill Abbey, her video is online for verification.
The statement urged members of Amb to remain steadfast and disregard the rumours as ongoing investigations would certainly unravel the truth .
“We invite the doubting Thomases to our services to see for themselves the mighty power of God through Jesus Christ.
“God has been using his servant, Prophet Godswill Abbey for over 13 years and there are many testimonials to the great things God has done through Him,as a church we wish to state that we stand with our Senior Pastor at this time, knowing that all things work together for the good of those who love God”, the statement ended.
