Desist From Tarnishing MFM’S Image, Church Counsel Cautions Nigerians

- By Chris Irekamba

THE Chief Legal Adviser of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries ( MFM), Barr. Davidson Adejuwon, has called on individual­s and groups to desist from tarnishing the image of MFM and its leadership, warning that the church will no longer tolerate such from any group or persons, irrepectiv­e of their position in the society.

The counsel who was reacting to a recent ruling by a

United States of Americabas­ed court in Baltimore County, presided over by Theresa Adams, where a Nigerian blogger, Funke Asekun, was fined $ 50,000 damages for defaming the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries ( MFM), Prof. Daniel Olukoya, saying the judgment is a confirmati­on of the word of God that says He ( Jesus Christ) has built His Church and no gate of hell in any form shall prevail over it.

Appealing to the public and the media to always be very careful and investigat­e stories before going to the press, Adejuwon said: “Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries is not just any church. It is an Apostolic Revival Church of Christ with a great endtime mandate divinely committed into the hand of a prepared prophet and servant of God, Prof. D. K. Olukoya, the General Overseer of the Ministry, Worldwide.”

Speaking further, the lawyer stressed that there is certainly no way you deliberate­ly and devilishly collide with such and not be grounded.

Adejuwon said: “I will use this opportunit­y to implore the public and our media men and women to always do proper checks before publishing their stories to avoid sharing lies and falsehood against the church of Christ and men and women of God. We will not fold our hands anymore on such unacceptab­le trends in our society.
