“I had no money, yet ₦500,000 was withdrawn” – Pastor stirs reactions with controversial testimony
A Nigerian pastor has stirred reactions online after sharing a controversial testimony about what he described as “spiritual favour” during a sermon.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), he revealed that despite having no money in his bank account, he instructed a church member to go to the bank and withdraw ₦500,000 on his behalf.
“Do you know you have what it takes to command the bank? I had no kobo in my account, yet I sent one of our members to go and withdraw ₦500,000. The banker didn’t check the balance and gave the money,” he said.
He further explained that the situation later took a surprising turn when the bank attempted to debit the account but found no funds available.
The cleric added that after he asked for a recheck, money allegedly appeared in the account, which was then withdrawn successfully, attributing the incident to spiritual influence.
“I didn’t transfer anything, I don’t have shishi. When they checked again, ₦585,000 entered and it was withdrawn. If you have spiritual favour, you control the wealth of the world. When I say I can’t be poor, it’s not pride, I have contacted spiritual favour,” he added.
Many reactions have followed. One user wrote, “This one na miracle or bank error? Nigeria pastors will not finish us.” Another added, “Make EFCC no hear this one o.”
The statement has sparked mixed reactions online, with many questioning the claim while others interpret it as a testimony of faith and divine favour.
