If it happened, then surely there are people on Nairaland who attended that amazing meeting. People like Donnie, Gombs, and Petra1 ...

We don't know that the story wasn't made up, like Benson Idahosa's claim of raising people from the dead which we discussed here.

Yea; it was a camp meeting at ekpoma. You see, Chris version of Christianity was so strange then that people gathered to witness this evangelical fire burning through the heart of a young lad down at ekpoma.

Unfortunately, some hearthens were smoking weed somewhere behind the venue. The church wasn't as rich as it were so it couldnt afford the luxury of an exclusive space. The free space available was partly used as a rendezvous for weed smokers.

So that faithful day, as the saints gathered to seek the face of the lord, the ganja smokers gathered too, b'cos they were also the children of God. When the saints lifted holy hands in one accord, the smokes from the weed was reaching out too to high heavens as sweet smelling sacrifice. Then came this extatic moment, when the venue was puffed up with ganja smoke emanating from all corners of the venue.

The smoke was soo visible and I am sure lots of peeps must have seen it. It enveloped the audience and in its usual characteristic, got peeps high and freenzy. I don't know about peeps getting healed though, but if you've ever gotten high on weed, you will understand the feeling of 'nothing is imposible'.

Very very possible. I had a serious prayer with someone last year's March opposite an hospital at 2am. The Nurses on duty called the doctor to come from home that house opposite is burning and people are making noise from there. He told us the next day that he saw fire in the place, he stopped hearing noise and later the fire stopped and he went back home. Never saw this myself but its 100% alignment with my prayer points.OK

You are welcome. I return your greetings as our recognized narrator of doubtful stories.

Your story leaves a lot of holes. For example, did it never occur to you that your youth leader was also hungry and/or sleep deprived? And after he asked you, did you just say "yes" then go home, or did you confirm from others in the church? If the former, were you not curious as to how many had seen the same smoke? If the latter, what proportion said that they too saw the smoke? Did you or your youth leader (or any other possible spirit filled smoke seer) try to identify any electrical sparks or other possible sources for the smoke before you concluded that it must be either sleep deprivation or a miracle? Of all those who saw the smoke, was any single one not alarmed that the smoke could be caused by its most natural origin, a fire, which could be disastrous in a packed church, and were you or your youth leader/ fellow smoke seers not motivated to warn the other non seers to flee the possibly burning church at that point in time?

Please plug these holes, then retell the story and let us reassess its believability.

I never met Benson Idahosa personally, but it is 100% correct that God raised several dead people back to life through him. I have personally met two people that were raised from the dead. One of them had died in a fatal accident. Benson Idahosa was not feared by Nigeria's military dictators for no good reason. This was a man who went on live TV to challenge the world council of witches and told them that their world conference slated to hold in Benin has been cancelled by him and that there was nothing they could do about it.......and guess what? The witches conference never held in Benin. A man like him that all the witches in the whole world combined together could not fight is no ordinary man, and that is because he was a true man of God being used by God to do great and mighty things of which having raised some dead people is just one of many things he did.

If God can create life and also create the sun, moon, stars, billions of galaxies, then tell me why He cannot raise a man from death? Sometimes we human beings think God is our mate or like our uncle in the village and that is why we dare to doubt it when told that God did something great.

SUPOL:
u wouldn't go for such videos if u don't believe in Jesus Christ. There's no better Christian than a seeker of d truth like seun. Everything that has a name exist. If it doesn't it wouldn't be named. There is God ooooooo.

When Pastor Chris ministered at Benny Hinn's church, he spoke of a 1989 camp meeting in which smoke filled the hall and healed everyone:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAGA0Xw4FTk (the story starts around 11:00)

This is an amazing story. The visible smoke! Every case of down's syndrome, sickle cell anemia, amputation, albinism, HIV/AIDS, etc in the entire assembly instantly cured! Every pair of reading glasses in the hall rendered useless! Anyone who witnessed it would never forget it.

Do you believe it really happened, though? Can anyone who was at the camp meeting in question corroborate the pastor's story?

NaijaTalkTown:
You guys are amazing! I mean someone asked a rational question and your reply is in form of a question? What has Islam got to do with a pastor claiming that smoke was coming from the ground? Even Wiz Khalifa no fit talk that kind thing. Instead of you to use your brain, you are trying to find a way to pin this to Islam.

Is he an atheist?

Thank you. I'm an agnostic church organist and pianist. Trust me, I can make the 'holy ghost' come down.

Bsideboi:
FYI My Youth president is a lecturer at LBS so I didn't doubt his judgement on that as he isn't someone to say something he not sure of.
-Smoke from a burning source should have an odour and the electrical dept. never made mention of any fault.
-Yes,i found out from my elder sister who was also around and she saw this 'fog' all-over in the church.(Were 3 of us sleep deprived and experiencing same symptom?)

-It wasn't smoke but looked more like a white cloud

Bro,trust me I'm sure of what I'm saying.Very sure!

how can you play in church when u only believe In Allah

dorox:


It is not bravery neither is it a display of power to challenge what does not exist. To illustrate my point, I hereby challenge every vampires and zombies that their Benin conference has been cancelled.

MakeADifference:
At the time I quoted you 59 people have liked this. Unfortunately it is YOU, yes you that will be responsible for what you've typed. Not those liking or sharing it.

Next time you want to jest or be illy, why don't you choose what to jest with from among mortals and leave God out of it? You may think it is funny but there is a limit to everything.

Go to school Mr man...A good school I mean, not the normal one you find at every corner in Nigeria. While you are at it, engage your brain, question everything that you have been told in your life and most importantly, be truthful to thyself Only then can you be redeemed.

I dont fear your bleeped up nonexistent sleeping God who cant protect your likes from dieing like rats even inside his church...you Christians are the most wretched of the earth because NOBODY gets rich through praying...if prayer makes people rich then Africa would not be a poverty stricken aid dependent country.

Lolz... Funny enough, am a keyboardist and guitarist too... That's why am familiar with how they use music... Even the local churches use very fast revival songs with a lot of loud percussions...

The level of naivety exhibited by Nigerians is ridiculous. Few guys in nice suits just gather you all together and tell you tales by moonlight in exchange for your hard earned cash? This is no longer funny I swear, something needs to be done urgently!
