Why Do Most People Lie During Testimonies? by moderatorr1: 1:36pm On May 16, 2015 |
Most people who come to give testimonies in church mix it with lies, just to make it sound 'miraculous'. Some exaggerate what happened, and how 'everyone' was just sending money into their account soon as they sowed that seed of faith. When in reality, their aunt had borrowed them money to start a new business in which they have to pay back when they make profit. Some people remove the important details to achieve this purpose, never mentioning that they slept with that man to land that job or how their uncle used his influence to get them employed. Some just lie out-rightly, describing vividly how they watched the calendar they got from church catch fire, glued and burnt the evil bat that flew into their house. You want to doubt? They brought the burnt bat to prove it to testimony ground. Music and praises pleeese! Some lie about how they recovered instantly, threw away the crutches and started running soon as they laid hands on the telly, carefully editing out the part where they had to gradually recover from then on. Some give testimonies before the miracle is confirmed. I don't mean an exercise of faith, i'm talking testimonies already. Pastor prays for this feeble man on wheelchair and forces him to stand and take some steps in the name of 'faith'. There is a microphone on the man's mouth and he is already screaming testimonies while still limping on one foot. Next day, dude is back to his good old wheel chair. The churches are to be blamed too, some churches screen candidates who are about to give testimonies. They fishout those whose testimonies are 'too normal' or commonplace. This makes people want to bend the story to suit the screener's choice. The bat flew in and you killed it and burnt it out of fear, but to get a chance to testify in front of millions of people, you add that the calender glued it and burnt it to pieces! Dear faithful, when next you get to church to give your testimony, be careful not to put false accusation against God just to touche up the story. God has already done it, say it the way it happened.

The most common is fertility testimony. Couples will be going to diff fertility hospitals trying diff means to conceive. At last, one method will work and after 9months, they will come to the church to glorify the pastor instead of telling people what they did so that some will go there. Or some will buy babies from baby homes and come to church to exclaim praise the lord. Some will boldly tell the congregation that they went for scan and nothing was seen but their daddy in the lord told them to claim pregnancy by faith. Who r they deceiving bikonu? 3 Likes 2 Shares |
