MFM Wins As Court Awards $50,000 Against Blogger, Funke Ashekun For Defamation by ReligiousCritic: 5:57am On Jan 25 |
For over three years now, a Nigerian lady, named Funke Asekun, who recently relocated to the US, has been on Social Media, spreading all manners of falsehoods against Mountain Of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Church and her General Overseer with the sole purpose of tarnishing and damaging the reputation of the respected Man of God and that of the ministry - MFM Being deceived by the illusion that she can hide in the US and successfully carry out the job of her paymasters to ridicule and tarnish the image of MFM and her General Overseer, she refused to heed all godly counsel for her to retrace her steps and refrain from her self-destructive mission. Thus, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (US) successfully prosecuted its claims against her which did not last for a year. The US jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of Mountain of Fire USA and its three pastors, Grace Ugeh, Kunle Ladipo and Adekunle Adekola. The case thus represents a victory for Mountain of fire and miracles ministries, its local pastors and the General Overseer. The unanimous jury also awarded to Mountain of Fire USA the sum of Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($50,000) which is the full amount of all damages it claimed in the suit. The jury found that the postings of Ms. Ashekun had defamed Mountain of Fire and shown its pastors in a false light. Mountain of Fire’s lead counsel Gilbert Garcia said that Mountain of Fire was gratified that the jury found in favor and vindicated the position of the ministry. 1 Share

All these mischievous bloggers are gradually beginning to learn the hard way. They will one day suffer the same thing in Nigeria. But the money is small (about ₦45 million). Members of MFM in Nigeria will think prayer is responsible for the court judgement in the U.S. Yet, their prayers do not influence judgment in Nigerian courts.😂 Just as Israel uses weapons and soldiers to fights it's battles and Nigerians depend on the "God of the same Israel" to fight for Nigeria. Everything is not by faith or by prayers. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I pity some women. I don't know what they will derive by tarnishing the image of a man of God and thier ministry. I pray that this lady will realize her self and asked for forgiveness so as not to attract God's anger upon herself |

immortalcrown: Lie. I have witnessed a frame up case. The culprit had bribed a judge to rule in their favour. A week or so to the judgement the corrupt judge was transferred and replaced with a no nonsense Deeper Life member who struck out the case. I saw the culprits' lawyer begging their pastor who had followed his member to the church that the man should not claim damages. Prayer works in all situations. I was involved in this story. 3 Likes |

How do they enforce the payment of these fines? |

MightySparrow:I am not surprised by your claim. This is how you people claim whoever becomes the president of Nigeria or the governor of a state is appointed by God. But why doesn't the "God" that answered this prayer answer Nigeria's prayers concerning more serious national issues? |

immortalcrown: Any leader, good or bad, is appointmented by God. The appointee may not meet your expectations. It doesn't change anything. However, God sees the end from the beginning. What you think is the worst now could be the best on the long run. I believe in God and His judgement. 2 Likes |

MightySparrow:Your logic means that human actions have no consequences. Whatever happens is caused by God and not by human actions. And if this your logic is right, God didn't create man with freedom of choice. And if God didn't create man with freedom, man is not made in the image and likeness of God and no difference between man and lower animals. Do you see the fallacy in your reasoning? |
Re: MFM Wins As Court Awards $50,000 Against Blogger, Funke Ashekun For Defamation by MightySparrow: 5:20pm On Jan 25 |
immortalcrown: Your logic is not different from those people who mispresent God to people. God has choices, same is man. Man's choice must be within the confines of God's. If not God has right to punish man. The choice of a leader from God could be a whip to punish disobedience. It is still answer to prayers. Saul was anointed over Israel by a prophet. To Israel they had their wish, but to God, it was a rod of punishment. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. Hos.13.9 - 11 The best of God is only for the righteous nation. Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Prov.14.34 1 Like 1 Share |

MightySparrow:If the punishment is as a result of man's action, why do you claim human action is not responsible for the leaders that emerge? |

123yes:In fact I'm very happy for this, not bcs it's a man of God or church, but bcs it'll serve as a big lesson to all these uncouth bloggers who will write anything in order to gain traffic..... |

ReligiousCritic, at least provide the case number so I can maybe google it on the courts website, since Google does not seem to have any resources with the claim contained in your OP. According to a document obtained by SaharaReporters, the hearing of the lawsuit will begin today (Monday), January 22, 2024.The only article online that comes close to your story does not in any way corroborate your claim at all, and it is by Sahara Reporters. So where does this your story come from abeg? |
