"Stop Magic Shows", Bishop Tackie Yarboi Tells Obinim

The city of Accra has for some weeks become a receptacle of Bishop Daniel Obinim’s mastery of magic and miracles to the extent of claiming to transform into any creature of choice. A lot of noise and comments have been passed about Bishop Obinim’s bluff.

The founder of International God’s Way Church once said he could transmogrify into a snake, visit and bite people in their dreams. This caught the attention of a large section of Ghanaians.

The presiding Bishop of Victory Bible Church International (VBCI) Bishop N.A Tackie Yarboi has broken his silence and has told this paper what he thinks Ghanaians should hear. He said there is nowhere in the Bible that suggests that Jesus transformed into any creature.

He said people have misconstrued the Bible verse John 3:14 to mean Jesus was or could turn into a snake. “Anyone who says Jesus is a snake has committed a great sin”.

“Then why not become Satan? He challenged Bishop Obinim. He added that what did not sit well with him about Obinim was he saying that he would lock the church; is he the devil? Quoting scripture, Bishop Yarboi said “Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell cannot stop it. Obinim is just bluffing”.

Bishop Yarboi wondered why some prophets in Ghana lately had managed to skew the scripture to suit their personal and somewhat ungodly and unbiblical agenda.

“When some hardworking men of God are gathering the flock like Jesus said, some of them also go about speaking nonsense and scattering the work”, he observed.

About the exchange between bishop Obinim and Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, Bishop Tackie said there was no insult meant when Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah said Obinim was ignorant. It was only a matter of understanding but the latter took it in as an insult and has subsequently acted in a manner quite despicable.

Asked whether Obinim could be sanctioned, Bishop Tackie said “the Pentecostal Council cannot sanction him because the law has not given such powers to the council; in Ghana, there is freedom of association and worship so if somebody gathers people, they are free to do so”.

The only instance the law could have bared its teeth at him was when he stepped on a lady’s tommy in the name of performing miracles. The Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs, Social Welfare and the Relevant Agencies could have taken it up but they failed to.

"Stop Magic Shows", Bishop Tackie Yarboi Tells Obinim

TB Joshua Gives Libya Deportees N4million

 

Thirty-nine of the reported 172 Nigerians who were deported from Libya on Friday 11th March 2016 were received by Pastor T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) during his church service on Sunday 13th March. According to a post on the church’s official Facebook page, the deportees were each given the sum of N100,000 by T.B Joshua, who is well known for his charitable gestures.

Fidelis Onos, who spoke on behalf of the group, said that most of them had been imprisoned for up to one year in Libya after they were suddenly arrested. The majority were working as bricklayers in the North African country where they had sought ‘greener pastures’.

“We are not here to blame Libya,” Fidelis is quoted as saying. “If Nigeria was okay, we would never have left in the first place. It’s the war in Libya that turned it to what it is today – in a place where there is no government, what can you expect?” 

He explained that United Nation’s officials visited the Nigerians in the Libyan prison and were touched at their plight, promising to arrange their repatriation back to Nigeria. They were finally able to travel under the voluntary returnee programme organised by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).

Arriving in Lagos with only the clothes they came with, the deportees were provided with a meager N6,500, leading to resentful outbursts from many at the airport. “Frustrated, angry and despondent, a group of them decided to seek refuge at The SCOAN, having watched Emmanuel TV in Libya,” the church wrote on their Facebook page.

“Upon learning of their arrival in the church, Prophet T.B. Joshua immediately sent evangelists to provide food, alongside medical aid to some of the most malnourished in their midst,” it continued. After giving the young men N3.9million ($20,000), many were emotionally moved and shed tears.

“If not for a man like T.B. Joshua, most of us would have ended up going into armed robbery, kidnapping or even joining a group like Boko Haram,” said Godspower Chibuike as he appreciated T.B Joshua for the gift.

“If youths were encouraged like this, we wouldn’t even think of travelling to places like Libya,” another deportee stated, adding that he had never seen such an amount of money in his life.

The group were subsequently provided with toiletries alongside brand new clothing, as they had worn the same set of clothes since their arrival in Nigeria. “Remember, what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you,” T.B. Joshua stated in the conclusion of the Facebook post.

The sensational Bishop Daniel Obinim has turn his guns on Founder and General Overseer of Glorious World Power Ministries International, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah for doubting his spiritual prowess.

The founder and General Overseer of the International God’s Way Church flared up during an altercation with Rev. Owusu Bempah on Accra-based Happy FM while reacting to his [Bempah] claim of hiding behind religiosity to champion the cause of the devil.

Rev. Owusu Bempah had challenged the self-acclaimed Bishop to face him in a spiritual contest to see which of them has more powers.

He also stated emphatically that Bishop Obimin is an anti-Christ leading his innocent church members to the devil.

But Bishop Obinim who felt berated by the comments of his senior in the clergy vowed to end his [ Bempah’s] life on earth.

“I will kill Owusu Bempah tonight and feed his flesh to vultures to serve as a deterrent to those who insult subject Men of God” he fumed.

Bishop Obinim who described himself as an angle said, he will use his left wing to smash Owusu Bempah dead just like David did to Goliath.

“I will prove to all Ghanaians that I’m an angel of God; Jesus is very angry so he will bring Owusu Bempah down through me” he stressed.

International God’s Way Church leader could not fathom why his own colleague prophets fancy portraying him as evil.

Bishop Obinim said he has ceased fire after wise counsel from his advisers but some pastors are bent on destroying his hard won reputation to be popular “so I will match them boot-for-boot”.
