Pastor versus pastor over ‘resurrection’

“Let’s not fool people. Stop lying in the name of God.”

That was the word from Incredible Happenings Ministries leader Paseka “Mboro” Motsoeneng as he stood outside Alleluia Ministries and demanded to see pastor Alph Lukau on Thursday.

Mboro had earlier vowed to confront Lukau for “bringing Christianity into disrepute” by staging an event in which he purported to raise a man in a coffin from the dead.

Mboro first visited the Sandton police station‚ saying that he intended opening criminal and fraud charges against Lukau.

Then he proceeded‚ in his BMW i8‚ to Alleluia Ministries in Sandton and stood outside with his supporters and members of other denominations. The scene was set for a showdown of biblical proportions.

Lukau‚ however‚ was nowhere to be seen.

Members of Alleluia Ministries were inside the church‚ watching Mboro through the window.

“Why do you walk away if I am wrong? I want you to surrender and apologise. Can I see the leadership of the church?

“I want to call the pastor that we can go to Nelson Mandela’s grave and raise him.

“This miracle is a fraud and if it’s not‚ they must bring proof. Let’s talk about it as men of God. That man never died,” bellowed Mboro.

Alleluia Ministries said in a statement on Wednesday that Lukau did not claim to have brought a dead man back to life.
