“He lied!!!” Rep for MFM Replies Pastor’s Allegations

Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, MFM, has accused one of its
pastors, Lawrence Okechukwu Amuruche of telling lies against the
leadership of the church with his claims that he sought assistance for
an eye surgery and was instead given anointing oil and water.

A few days ago, we brought you the story about a pastor of the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Lawrence Okechukwu Amuruche who claimed that the General Overseer Pastor D.K. Olukoya refused to give him money to treat the cataracts growing in one of his eyes.

“He lied against the church. His
children who are based abroad, called to express their dissatisfaction
over the publication. He did not only embarrass himself but his family,
the church and some of us who are his friends in the church.

It is embarrassing because MFM has come
to the point that if it comes to the area of assisting or helping
people, we are really very good at that and the testimonies are all over
the world on the kind of miracles, signs and wonders that happen in
MFM.

We are a church that believes in the
power of the Holy Ghost. We are a deliverance ministry and we don’t
believe that there is no problem that God cannot solve but we still
believe that some illness could be organic. There could still be some
illness that could result to somebody still going to the hospital and
going through surgical operation.

The man in question is under full
employment of the church. Common sense will tell you that anyone who is
under the full employment of the church, if you want to go to the
hospital, can ask for salary advance or loan from the people that you
are working for.

The organization that you are working
for has a provision for loan and assisting people who make request for
assistance. Amuruche did not make any request from his Regional Overseer
neither did he make any request from the General Overseer. It is a very
big insult to the church. He did not tell anybody in the church that he
needs money to go to hospital. He lied against the church.

He is an assistant pastor in the church
and he earns money form the church. It was from the newspaper
publication that I got to know that he has an eye problem. Before the
publication, he came for our regional meeting and he never mentioned to
me that he has any eye problem. I do not doubt that he has not mentioned
to anybody.

He told you people that he went to our
General Overseer for counseling who gave him anointing oil instead of
money. He did not in anyway visit him for that purpose. If you want to
go to any hospital for operation and the hospital has diagnosed that you
need to go for operation, you don’t need to go for counseling or means
of getting your healing.

You just go straight away and apply to
the church that you want to go for operation. He did not follow the
normal proceeding of getting medical help from the church. There is one
of our members in Festac, a security man, they just discharged him
recently. It was the church that paid for his operation.

There are several instances that the
church has given money even to those that are not our members. He has to
tell people his problem before they can find ways to solve it. If he
claims that he has written an application, let him quote the date he
wrote the application and where it was submitted, we are in a modern
society.

The issue is not whether he is blind or
not but the fact that he never asked the church for assistance. We have
very good welfare package for people. Daddy Olukoya gives scholarships
and honors first class students, this is one out of many things that he
has extended to members of the church.”
