Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, has cautioned Christians against giving false testimonies in churches.
Bamiloye condemned the practice, stating that those who share fake testimonies are “playing pranks with God.”
He shared this message on his Facebook page on Thursday, emphasising that individuals engaging in such acts are being influenced by the devil.
His warning follows viral videos of controversial miracle testimonies from members of the Lord’s Chosen Church, sparking widespread debate on social media.
Bamiloye wrote: “PLAYING PRANKS WITH GOD! If you stand on the Lord’s Altar to give fake testimonies deliberately, you are playing pranks with God! If you mount the Altar of God to deliberately tell lies that
God has done what He knew nothing about, you are playing pranks with God!

“If you arranged a fake testimony to be said on the Lord’s altar just to pump up congregation, you are playing pranks with God! If the devil set you up to embarrass the church through all his reckless bloggers, you are playing pranks with God!”
The preacher also warned bloggers who are eager to condemn the body of Christ for money, reiterating that they are unaware that they are led by the devil.
He noted that God is supreme, emphasising that he can do all things as established in the Holy book.
“And you BLOGGERS looking for things to write against the Church of Christ, employed and paid by the devil to drag His Body in the mud and stripe the church naked in the market place for monetisation, come on, you are ignorant of the fact that you are being used by the devil.
“As for me, God is unlimited. There is nothing, absolutely nothing He can not do! He can do ALL THINGS! He brought water out of the rock. He walked upon the sea. He brought out a coin from the fish’s mouth. He turned water into wine and multiplied bread in the hands of disciples.
“The entire Bible is full of mind-blowing miracles! Luke 1:37 KJV For with God, nothing shall be impossible. But if the Devil has given you a gift and you come to the Lord’s Altar to give God the glory, You are playing pranks with God!”
Bamiloye restated the wonders of God, maintaining that he is not interested in taking the glory outside his works.
He enjoined the pranksters to turn a new leaf, stressing that there is an opportunity for repentance before God’s judgement.
“He would not take the dirty glory of the Devil. He is King of Glory. If you are playing pranks with God, I am so sorry for your derailing soul. The Devil that employed you to do this has a damning agenda for your soul.
The Nigerian gospel filmmaker said, “The Judgement of God is hanging upon all the pranksters who are making mockery of God and the Body of Christ. It is a terrible judgement! They have misled multitudes of weak Christians. They have discouraged lots of new converts.They have hardened the hearts of many unbelievers. For the purpose of monetisation,”
He added: “If you play pranks with God, you are risking your soul and playing with God’s judgment.”

The announcement has already sparked conversations across social media.
“I’ve been to church where they wear casual dress/ I’ve been to a white garment church/ I’ve attended Cherubim, rolled on the floor/ Even though you attend Celestial you may not become a celeb/ I am a glory of the celestial/ Be careful/ I’ve rang bell for seven churches/ I’ve attended seven churches/ I’ve been to seven mountains/ Shouted seven hallelujah,” he sings in a mixture of Yoruba and English language.
“I bought instruments for churches/ My life will be good/ God of Osoffa do not let me be hot by world arrow/ I’ve helped in the construction of churches/ I’ve helped provided light for churches and mosques/ I will make heaven.”
Portable rose to fame in December 2021 with his hit single “Zazoo Zeh,” featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution, maintaining his innocence.
