Lagos State based prophet, Alphonsus Ezie,
has been remanded in prison over the alleged defrauding of his church members
by means of the false prophecy.
The 56-year-old cleric of the Celestial
Church of Christ, Igando District, told the congregation that he saw many of
them traveling abroad. Thus, he urged people to get international passports and
visas not to miss the great journey.
Several months later the victims lamented
that the prophet lied so that they obtained travel documents from the prophet's
friend, Kayode Samuel, which they did.
When the prophecy didn't come true, they
reported the case to the police and Ezie was arrested. The arraigned prophet
confirmed the incident, putting blame on his friend Samuel. However, both men
pleaded not guilty to the crime.
Be
careful people, “For…false prophets will
appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the
elect” (Matt. 24:24 NIV).
