A Nigerian Catholic Priest, Kelvin Ugwu, has faulted most miracles performed on television and during crusades by men of God.
Ugwu said men of God stage almost all the miracles on television and crusades.
The Malawian-based Nigerian Priest accused men of God of psychologically manipulating the people.
In a Facebook post, the Priest urged people to always subject miracles to a third-person investigation.
According to Ugwu: ”It is a sign that the minister is fake when he is being advertised ahead of a church program as a healer. Anyone who truly has the gift of healing does not make noise about it and won’t be comfortable when it is used for an advert to pull crowd or to make him or her famous.
“The “testimonies” you read at the back of a church flyer whenever they want to advertise a crusade or a program are often half-truths and concocted lies. Someone will tell you how she has been barren for 10 years and miraculously conceived and gave birth to twins after the “man of God” laid hands on her stomach, yet, just a little investigation into the case and you will discover that the woman did IVF. Why was that part of the story hidden?
“Almost all the so-called miracles you see on TV or crusades are staged. Some are more of psychological manipulations than a miracle.
“In the Catholic Church, for anything to pass as a TRUE miracle, it must be open to a third-party investigation. The third-party must be an independent person who plays the devil’s advocate.
“You do not claim that a miracle has happened because someone stood up from a wheelchair in your ‘Three-day power-packed Miracle Signs and Wonders Revival with the anointed Prophet Dr. Evang Tom-Tom Chewing-gum.:
“The ordinary questions should be:
“Who is the person?
“Where is the person coming from?
“What is the medical condition as presented by a doctor?
“Has it been concluded by experts and did they do a proper diagnosis prior to the miracle that it will be medically impossible for the person to walk again?
“Asking those questions does not make you an unbeliever. Our faith is what St Anselm describes as Fides quaerens intellectum (faith seeking understanding).”
