A YouTube clip showing controversial Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua’s dramatic encounter with ‘Lucifer’ has gone viral, amassing over 500,000 views in just one month since its release online.
The video titled ‘Face To
Face With Lucifer’ shows a peculiar scenario that unfolded in Joshua’s church
when a self-professed ‘occult wizard’ came to seek prayers at The Synagogue,
Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria.
In the clip, an eerily looking
man with a menacing black beard introduces himself as Professor Chukwudi Okakpu,
an alleged ‘Grand Llama of Science Beyond Material’.
Amidst his extraordinary
claims, the Satanist professed to have had face to face encounters with
‘Lucifer’ and to have endorsed ‘anti-Christs’ globally.
“I
can stay here and appear in any part of Europe,” Okakpu, dressed in a
flowing white suit, calmly stated, adding that he ‘operates like a spirit’.
“If
you are such a person that patronises shrines or herbalists, I am the
ultimate,” he sensationally claimed.
The video shows Joshua
praying for Okakpu who sways uneasily several times before eventually falling
to the floor.
Several of his ‘followers’ proceed to come out from the crowd and
are also prayed for, after which the ‘professor’ renounces his devilish past.
Okakpu proceeds to return
the following week with some of his ‘occultic’ garments to testify to the
changes in his life after ‘accepting Jesus Christ’.
“This is a video satan does not
want you to watch,” Emmanuel TV states in its introduction of the clip on
YouTube. “A satanic ‘general’ renounces his covenants with devilry and
witchcraft in a church service that made hell and its minions quiver!”
As with most of Joshua’s
videos, the contents have elicited controversy with opposing views as to its
authenticity.
Several online commentators
insisted Joshua’s deliverance services are nothing more than a scam involving
arranged actors while others argue they are genuine and godly.
Joshua’s YouTube channel Emmanuel TV,
where the clip was uploaded, is the third most subscribed channel in Nigeria
with nearly 300,000 subscribers and 110,000,000 views.
