A Nigerian preacher, Iyke Oriaku of the Churchless Revival, has revealed how he used to lie to people to raise money to do God's work because he was competing with demonic prophets.

On his Facebook post, he said he was a victim of "pulpit pressure"

THANK GOD I DIDNT DIE THOSE DAYS I USED TO LIE TO PEOPLE TO RAISE MONEY TO DO GOD'S WORK BECAUSE I WAS COMPETING WITH DEMONIC PREACHERS ...

I would get the money...
And won't even buy handkerchief for myself ...

I would still use every penny to do God's work..

Souls would be saved...
Hearts would be set on fire...

But it's only me that knew that I lied to raise money to carry out those missionary activities

Thank God I didn't die those days...

If not, I would have been known in hell as one of those preachers that allowed pressures to drive them in ministry...

Today, to the glory of God, we have grown pass that stage when we want to do programs just to prove a point...

Now that there are no more pressures, we have seen the difference...

God is doing things by Himself...

Raising people by Himself according to His Pace...

To the glory of God, the hall for the program we are having in Asaba this weekend has been paid for since 3months ago by some people over there whose hearts God has touched ...

We didn't even call them on phone...

In fact they are the ones begging us to choose date...

Calls are coming from many parts ...

Remnants who are ready to fix the bills of our meetings in any part of the world...

Still to God's glory alone, today, if God leads us to any city or village today for a revival cry, there are remnants already there who are ready to partner with us to fix bills...

Yet, when I was using my own power, sometimes, I used to lie to people to raise money to do God's work...

Friends, my greatest regrets in ministry are the days I was doing ministry to make some people somewhere see the I am doing something great ....

I hate to remember when I bragged with the profile of the contacts I have...

Since I handed every single ministerial issue over to God I have seen the difference...

Since God saw that I value Him more than any man alive anywhere in the world, He came in ...

Peace has set in...
Anxiety has gone...

Yes, we have not arrived...
We have not even started...

But we have seen every reason to regret the days we used our strength to do this work...

Because there is no end to the calamity the flesh brings...

If there is any man that should teach you how not to fail it is a man that has failed severally...

Forget these smiles on our faces on facebook...

Some of us have putrefying wounds from the injuries we have given ourselves somewhere on this journey...

Unfortunately, we cannot undo the shits of yesterdays, but we can only position for God to do something for Himself through us, to the shame of Satan...

Man of God, you are not under any pressure...

Stop competiting with demonic prophets...

Can you do what they are doing with mami water every night?...

Can you turn to dogs and be eating excreta?..

Can you be turning to snakes and be attending meetings in high seas?...

You must not host programs...

Nobody will beat you if you don't have cars...

Manage that rented hall till God choose to give you your own place...

Avoid friends who are always coming to tell you how many cars other ministers have...

They are feeding that demon called mammon in you...

I was a victim of pulpit pressures...

I tried to use my power to see the mandate on my life succeed...

But since I reliqushed power, and handed everything over to God, I am seeing sweatless triumphs...

Most of the things God told me He will do through me have started manifesting sweatlessly ...

Things I was looking for are now looking for me...

Once again, we have not arrived...

But if you know where we are coming from, you will understand why we are grateful for the little He is doing through us today...

I don't want to be one of those preachers that will pull people out from hell and still take their place in hell...

Lord, would you not help this 'weak' man, Iyke Oriaku? ...

You know that I have not started off well on this journey...

But I know that if You can still be holding me up til now, certainly, Satan will still have a lot of things to pay for in the days ahead ...

Friends, can I beg you something?...

If you see any young man that is not using juju to do ministry, if you can, please, sow into his ministry...

There is a voice God wants to raise through him that Satan wants to stop by all means ...

Paying for his crusade handbills can encourage him a lot...

I have made up my mind that no genuine man of God will meet me and still see any reason to bow to Baal...

No young minister around me will make the mistakes I made in this work...

I want to beg that young man planning to join those who are using satanic powers to do ministry...

Don't bother...

Cancel that demonic trip...

Forget your past shits...

The future is calling your name...

You can even uproot that charm you buried in that altar...

There is peace when God is the one helping you more than when you are the one helping yourself...

Satan is on earth today with great wrath, to.make sure he separates us from God...

He wants us to share the same eternal destiny with him..

How can you run to your eternal enemy to help you in ministry?...

I Know we have bills to pay...

I know...

But it's better we go to.jail for the debts we owe than to see ourselves sleeping with mad ladies just to control powers to grow our ministries...

If it looks like I am talking to you, please, bow your head...

And... Let us pray!...

Top Nollywood star and producer, Funke Akindele-Bello, has revealed how she struggled in the early years of her acting career.

Speaking about how she almost gave up acting, Akindele-Bello noted that her mother was among those, who encouraged her not to quit the industry.

The talented actor made the revelation recently on her YouTube channel when she talked about how she used to attend several auditions, hoping to get a prominent role. According to her, she often ended up being disappointed until she got her big break in a soap opera titled ‘I need to know’.

In an interview with Punch, she said:

“I am going to be very personal here, talk about some things I’ve been through in life and liken them to whatever you are going through right now.

“Many young people are going through a lot to survive. Struggles, challenges, obstacles and they may want to give up.

“I want you to look at me and my story. When I started acting in 1998, I remember how I struggled to get up there, I got a lot of “no’s”. I was the ‘queen’ of auditions and ‘wakapass’ roles. I would read so well and people will clap, I will be so excited and would think when I get the list, I would get a supporting role. But all I got were roles like church extracts. I remember crying on those occasions.

“But my mother would tell me that I’ve got the passion and it is a God-given talent. She would give me money for my transport fare; sometimes I would trek to some places then take a bus to meet up.

“I could count the number of shoes I had then, maybe two or three. But today, the story has changed. Things changed for me positively.

“After ‘I need to know’, I didn’t get any more roles, I went down; I got back to attending auditions and lobbying, calling people and knocking on doors but none opened. I felt I had lost my chance.

“I can remember going for a project and I met an actress who spoke to the producer on my behalf. I remember going to Oshogbo for the movie, I packed all my clothes, I was so happy because I was told I was going to play a supporting role. I got there, and we were supposed to film but something happened to the generator and we couldn’t film. I was waiting to be called to film in my hotel room but they did not.

“On the fifth day, they called me and I was shocked. I was asked to play the role of a secretary in two scenes. This was after playing a major role in ‘I need to know’. It was devastating for me, I was crying but an actor advised me to take it.

“I took the stipends I was given and went back to Lagos. There were different situations like that where I could have given up but my mother’s words kept encouraging me till I got my big break to produce my own movie.

“So, do not give up, be expectant,” she said.

Founder of the Miracle Working God Ministry in Sapele, Delta State, Prophet Patrick Eyaefe, has recounted how his wife died from snake bite hours after their wedding on March 29th.


Prophet Eyaefe in an interview with newsmen, said himself and his deceased wife had lived together for eight years and had five children and that he decided to formalise their union this year.


According to him, He said "on March 30th, she went out of their home to go and get sachet water when a snake bit her. He accused the hospital he rushed her to after the bite of negligence which according to him, led to the death of his wife."

“We had been together for eight years, you know as a man of God I was supposed to regularise my marriage, so after eight years and with a growing ministry and five kids, I decided to do the right thing. Now see what has happened after the marriage.


We were relaxing at home after the marriage at about 7 pm on Sunday, March 30, 2019, when she went to buy sachet water and she had hardly left for five minutes when I heard her screaming for help. I dashed down and she told me that a snake just bit her, I took her to the hospital that night and I tied the leg as someone instructed me. When we got to the hospital, after paying N1,000 to register, the doctor was not around.


The nurse who was on duty had to call the doctor before he came and when he eventually arrived, they were looking at her as if her life was not important. The drugs he (the doctor) prescribed for me I went to buy it and when I came back, he insisted I should go back and get the dosage of the drug, and my wife was lying there without being attended to.


When I returned, they tightened the rope I use in tying the leg so that the venom will not spread and right thereafter administering the anti-venom drug, she still died. My wife died on the day I took her to the altar. They left her for too long without attending to her. It was a case of neglect. If they had acted quickly she would not have died. She died leaving five kids for me. How do I go on?”

Reacting to his claim, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr John Akwara, denied the allegation, stating that the doctor on duty did everything possible to save the deceased.


“Snake venoms kill within minutes, the doctor who treated her is a certified medical doctor with over 10 years in service. Snakebite is a snake bite anywhere, five minutes you are gone. We even gave her oxygen, which goes to show how far the damage has been done. Once venom has reached the heart, there is nothing anybody can do about it.” he said
