ACRILEGE! Worshipper gives used condom as offering in

Offering time, blessing time!” So goes the chorus from
members of the congregation whenever it’s time to give
offering in most churches.
To most Christians, the offering time is, indeed, a time of
immense financial blessing. But recently, the offering time
turned into a moment of hot curses in a Lagos church when
an already used condom, dripping with semen, was
discovered inside the offering box after the Sunday service.
It was like a weird dream, according to the former
Chairman, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Ogba
Zone, Prophet Tobi Okonkwo, who witnessed the incident.
The cleric said he couldn’t believe his eyes when a
discarded condom, with stains, was discovered in an
envelope in the offertory box of his former church.
When Pope Paul VI warned on June 29, 1972 that the
smoke of Satan had entered the church, not many Christians
took the warning seriously.
With this recent incident, Okonkwo admitted that the agents
of darkness had infiltrated the churches in large numbers
and now occupy high-ranking positions in the gathering of
God’s children, where they wreak untold havoc on the
unwary flock.
Okonkwo, who is also the General Overseer of Living Word
Prayer Assembly, Agege, Lagos, wept over man’s
ingratitude to God during a recent monthly thanksgiving
programme of the church, tagged Manna from Heaven.
Although the service was a joyful moment where the
shepherd distributes food items and other gifts to his flock,
his startling revelation brought a hush of silence on the
congregation.
His words pierced the hearts of the worshippers, as he
explained how man had become ungrateful to divine
benevolence. His several instances of the atrocities
committed in hallowed places pointed to the fact that
messengers from hell now walked about freely in hallowed
places. “It is really bad.
It has got to a point where some people come to the church
to mock God. They are anti-Christ but they still go to
church. You could imagine how somebody came to the
church and decided to give a used condom in an envelope
to God.
You can see how wicked man has become,” he said.
Okonkwo said the giver of the abominable gift refused to
confess his crime, even when the entire church rained
curses profusely on whosoever was responsible.
He said, “A curse was laid on the person. Even before the
people laid the curse, God had already seen the
abomination committed in his house by someone, who
pretended he came to the church to worship God.”
The former PFN leader warned other members of the church
of the reality of the anti-Christ, whose reign would usher
ungodliness in the world. He lamented that prosperity
message has taken over the pulpit at the neglect of the
gospel of repentance, which had enslaved many hearts in
pleasure and love of the world.
