At least six people have died in Britain after evangelical churches told them to stop taking their medication because they had been healed of HIV, medical professionals have revealed to Sky News.
To investigate the claim, Sky News sent three undercover reporter to one of the churches, the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Southwark, south London. The wealthy church was founded by Pastor T.B. Joshua, who claims to be a prophet, and has branches in Ghana, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Greece.
All three of the undercover reporters told church officials they were suffering from HIV, and all three undercover reporters were told they could be cured.
i’d beat those AIDS/HIV patients for believing such rubbish; how gullible can you be!
church
I would jail all those false prophet who use children to do evil
This is just an example of the fate many people will suffer. For they believe that gathering together in a building, singing songs, sending prayer requests, giving fake testimonies of God, following the rules and regualtions of religion, as they go on to worship the leader of their congregation; is all that the Church and their relationship with God is about.
In the first place we have to pray for ourselves–the moment we are convicted of an intimate relationship with God, by our faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible tells that the Word of Life is in our mouth, and God wants to hear us speak those words, our acknowledgement to Him, that we know we have Life–His stature of Love, the Light of Jesus Christ– in us
“By the stripes of Jesus Christ we are healed”–Isaiah 53:5–in body and in Spirit, through our channel of faith–not by the words of another human being, like ourselves. Let him or her pray for her/his self.
Unless we begin to understand that God connects to our conscience, and by the Power of His Holy Spirit, He renews our mind–Romans 12: 2—so that He will teach us to walk in Love, living Life in the Spirit, we have missed the point of the Life of Love, and the reason for our relationship with God.
Jesus said: “I can of Myself do nothing”! John 5:30 I do not know how many more times I will have to write down that saying of Jesus. But I know that this is a saying that the majority of His followers do not understand.
As Christians we do not work to get Salvation, but Salvation in us is the reason for our works. God is our Supreme controller and Sustainer–“no flesh shall glory in His presence”! 1st Corinthians 1:29 We must believe that our good conduct and attitude are God’s Ways of Love through us.
We need to stop depending on our own strength or the strength of our pastors, preachers, priests, and bishops; but by faith we see God working through them–if He is at work through them.
A man who simply tells sick people to stop taking their medication, because they illness is healed, because he has prayed on their behalf, is a self conceited person–and not of God.
I have diabetes and hypertension. I believe that God can grant me healing, for I do not want to die with that illness, or because of them. But to God be the glory!
I continue in faith for His healing, because of His Holy Spirit’s anointing, Love in me. But I will continue to take my medication, as long as the illness is present in my body–for it possible that it is through that medication that God will complete heal my body.
As people of God, we need to understand that He has chosen us, that He might put His nature of Love to work through us for His own delight–not to receive honors, medals, and trophies for ourselves.
Once again, God wants no flesh to glory in His presence. That is exactly what- the leaders of that church in London would have done–to tske the honors that belong to God for themselves. This cannot be done.
YOU ARE SO SO RIGHT.TO GOD ALONE BE ALL GLORY.
i bet this church cures std’s tooo damm they are good
THESE A THE SO CALL PROPHET. THEY SHOULD
PRESS CHARGES AGAINST THEM. FALSE PROPHECY
NO PASTOR CAN HEAL ANYONE. THE PASTOR WILL PRAY WITH YOU BUT BY YOUR FAITH AND GOD’S
HELP YOU SHALL BE HEALED
JESUS IS LORD AND HEALER OF ALL
BUT THE WAGES OF SIN WILL STILL REMAIN DEATH!!!
stupes like you are why i run from the church. According to your bible we all have sin which is why we all die. just like a christian to always be judgmental. who says that everyone with HIV has sinned. what about all the innocent faithful women who get infected by nasty husbands who stick it into anyone. how about you work on your own sins instead of trying to judge others
‘Sin’ against me and my pride, personal and Family reputation, responsibility to community, Man Made Laws, Courts and Prison is enough to stop me from repaying you with ‘Sin’
That’s because I’m a thinking adult now (thank God).
I actually never really believed that because two young people follows their “God Given Nature” and have sex, for example, they should “DIE”.
Doh matter how people try to make christianity looks like it is something bad and they do not want to be part of it? Christ is still the answer. Once a pastor does something that seems wrong, it’s like everyone is glad. But I will still say the old devil lose again!!!! JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER FOR THE WORLD TODAY.
I called my Pastor and asked him to pray for my Father who couldn’t see and couldn’t walk. He prayed and prayed and prayed . . so faithfully.
I called him back a month later to tell him that Daddy was still in the same condition. He then asked me what exactly was wrong with him and I told him that he had lost both his legs to Diabetes and his eyes had rotted away from complications. His response was:
“So why you have me wasting my time praying?”
Apparently GOD is good only for unprovable “Miracles”
THAT’S WHY I DO NOT BELIEVE IN RELIGION. THEY MAKE CLAIMS THAT HAVE NO BASIS IN THE REALITIES HUMAN BEINGS LIVE EVERYDAY.
If you don’t believe, how do you expect to get blessings…oh you know what, you still will..because as long as you are living, God is blessing you. God works miracles, i bet he’s saved your life a million times, yet you’re so blind you can’t see it…the person asked God to heal..healing is not fixing…i’m sure her father was feeling better emotionally because he knew that God was there for him. You Humans are so ungraeful…thank God for the life you have.!!! Dont let the devil take control, or take up residence in your soul. God Bless. and no stress!!!
Wow. How stupid. If I didn’t know any better I’d say that he said this because he KNEW it would kill them, and that’s probably exactly what he wanted!
Those poor people. smdh
