Evangelist Linda reveals names of top Nigerian pastors she says she saw crying in hellfire

Evangelist Linda Paul Rika has sparked reactions online after recounting what she described as a disturbing spiritual revelation in which she allegedly saw several prominent pastors and ministers crying and facing divine judgment.

Rika shared the account in a video that has gone viral on social media, where she claimed that she saw Pastor Paul Enenche, Bishop David Oyedepo, the late Evangelist Uma Ukpai and several other pastors during the revelation.

Rika identifies late Uma Ukpai in claimed revelation

According to Rika, she initially did not know the identity of one of the men she saw because she could not remember his name.

However, after waking up, she said she went to YouTube and discovered that the person was the late Evangelist Uma Ukpai.

She said she also saw Pastor Paul Enenche, the General Overseer of Dunamis International Christian Centre, together with his wife, both wearing red dresses.

Rika claimed that bishops wearing their caps, pastors and people with different ministerial titles were also present in the revelation, with many of them allegedly crying bitterly.

Claimed message from Paul Enenche

Rika said Pastor Enenche bent his head and questioned what his knowledge of the truth had profited him, claiming that he acknowledged choosing worldly pleasure instead.

She quoted him as saying: “What has he profit me now? I know the truth, but I decided to follow worldly pleasure of him. Why did I allow the glory of this world to sweeten my mouth and blindfold me? Why did I allow the sweetness and vanity of this world to make me to forget heaven? Truly, I totally forget heaven.”

She further claimed that Enenche said he had spoken about heaven with his lips but had not truly focused his mind on it.

Rika quoted him as saying: “In fact, I was just talking about heaven with my lips, but my mind was not there. Hey, sudden destruction has come upon me. Why did I forget the vision and desire of heaven? Why did I allow it? Why did I forget this, forget heaven? Why did I allow myself to join them?”

According to Rika, Enenche then looked at his wife, who was allegedly also crying and rolling on the ground.

Millions allegedly waiting for judgment

Rika said millions of people were also present and were being told to wait because their own books would soon be opened.

She described the scene as one in which people were awaiting judgment and confronting the consequences of their lives and choices.

Oyedepo allegedly seen crying

Rika further claimed that she saw other pastors, including Bishop David Oyedepo, whom she said bent his head and cried while saying that it had been difficult for him to come out.

She quoted Oyedepo as saying: “It was too hard for me to come out. Lord, you know, it was too hard for me.”

Rika said she could not make out everything he was saying but repeatedly heard the words about how difficult it had been for him to come out.

Another minister allegedly confesses secret sins

Rika also claimed that she saw another unnamed man who she described as someone “making waves in the internet” through his prayer activities.

According to her, the man was crying, rolling on the ground and allegedly confessing his secret sins.

She claimed he was asking God for mercy and saying: “God, because of fame, because of money, oh God, have mercy on me.”

Rika said the people in the revelation were crying, including pastors from different countries and racial backgrounds.

Claims about sin and divine judgment

She claimed the pastors were crying because they were allegedly witnessing how God would judge people for various sins, including lying, masturbation and other forms of wrongdoing.

According to her, the revelation showed that even people who considered themselves holy could have what she described as “little foxes” in their hearts and lives.

She said the pastors were allegedly saying that if God could judge people they considered holy, then those who had committed what she described as deeper sins would have no hope.

Rika described the scene as resembling a massive burial, with people crying everywhere.

Rika speaks about “Omokpa” and anointing

She then recounted seeing another man whom she referred to as “Omokpa”.

According to her, she had previously listened to some of the man’s testimonies after his death because people were sharing his past messages.

Rika said she had wondered why people were describing him as an anointed person and initially questioned whether such anointing meant he was spiritually secure.

She claimed that during the revelation, she received an answer.

According to Rika, God told her: “He chose anointing, rather than holiness. An anointing cannot take anybody to heaven.”

She said the revelation made her understand that holiness, rather than anointing, is what would save people.

Rika further claimed that the message she received was:

“That’s why I am telling people, it’s holiness that will save every man, not anointing.”

“Anointing cannot open the book”

She said the man had chosen anointing over holiness and that many others in the revelation had also made similar choices.

Rika claimed that the man knew about holiness from the beginning but chose what she described as the path of anointing.

She said the people in the revelation eventually realised that anointing could not carry them into heaven or open the door for them.

According to her: “The anointing cannot open the door by their power. Anointing cannot even open the book for them. It’s only the truth that will set them free.”

Claims about the minister’s disciples

Rika further claimed that the revelation showed the man’s disciples and the fruits he had gathered through his ministry as being full of sinners.

She said the man sat there crying and shaking his hands.

She also claimed that she saw Prophet Jeremiah crying bitterly, alongside other pastors who were allegedly weeping.

“It was too late for them”

Reflecting on what she saw, Rika said she initially believed some people had simply been stubborn or unwilling to listen while they were alive.

However, she said the intensity of their crying in the revelation made her believe they had come to realise the truth too late.

She said: “When I saw the way they were crying, I noticed that satan really, oh, these people, they don’t like what they were doing. Oh, they have come, oh, they don’t know this truth. Oh, because they were crying painfully like they regretted this thing they were doing.”

Rika ended the account by stressing that, according to the revelation she described, the realisation came too late for those involved.

She concluded: “But it was too late for them.”

The claims made by Rika are her account of a spiritual revelation and have not been independently verified.
