“ABOUT CHURCH TESTIMONIES.
So, this particular woman was finding it difficult to get pregnant or carry it to term when she does. After four years of marriage, she confided on my mum who then took her to a very good doctor.
It was observed that her PH level was not conducive enough for a baby (or something like that. Not sure but that was about how the doctor explained it to them in lay man's terms.)
She was placed on medication. Since that was the only medical reason she couldn't carry a pregnancy to term, she got pregnant shortly and had a baby about a year after she started her medication.
Her testimony: She went to Church to testify that after the "revival" of the last year when the pastor layed hands on her head, something told her to have sex with her husband, so she did and she got pregnant and carried it to term.
I also know of a woman who had her baby through IVF, but told everyone that she went to see TB Joshua, and she got pregnant and had her baby.
A family friend who had been denied UK visa more than three times came to me to make enquiries. I told him what he was doing wrong. We tidied up everything and he reapplied and got the visa.
He went to Church to testify that he planted a seed of faith in the life of the man of God asking God to give him a visa. So, after many refusals, he finally got his visa because the seed is now germinating.
Trust me guys, I have seen and heard too many testimonies from people who I know their stories, and some of whom I lived their stories with, but they come up later to give twisted testimonies to the glory of their pastors.
There was this time a church member who was helped by my Dad mentioned his name during a testimony. My pastor then announced that the man was giving glory to human, that all glory has to go to God. So, no matter the role any human must have played in whatever you are testifying about, that members shouldn't mention names to thank them during church testimonies.
False testimonies can also be DANGEROUS.
I remember a woman with a health condition was adviced by her doctor not to eat certain foods. She came to Church to testify that daddy in the Lord prayed for her, so she has been eating anything. But she was actually on medication.
Another person with similar health condition did exactly as she had testified, and it almost turned out fatal.
As a result of these and many more, whenever I hear a testimony, I assume it's half truth.
Some christians will come on this post in their stale line of defense like "miracles still happen. It's still a miracle because it was God that used the doctor and your mum to help the woman to conceive. God used the people in the IVF clinic. God used you to help that guy with his visa...."
But here is the problem.
One of the main purposes of testimonies is to bless people.
How do you bless people?
Mainly by the details of information in your testimony.
Do you know that there might be other people in the congregation with same problem you had who could do with the actual information in order to also help themselves too?
If you testify to taking olive oil instead of talking about the tablet prescribed by your doctor and dispensed by a Pharmacist, another woman with same fertility problem might start taking olive oil thinking she will get a solution.
If you don't tell them that you were missing out something vital in your visa applications hence the refusal, another person who has similar issues will go and sow seed faith thinking that will be the solution.
False testimonies are MISLEADING. They are wrong! Doing it in the Church does not make them any less evil than they are.
Stop it folks, just stop!
Even God will not be happy with you.”

Many years ago, I was in a church for a program, when the pastor announced it was time for testimonies. I was about to walk out when an old man showed up. Out of respect, I decided to sit back down to hear his story. To my delight, he regaled us with stories of worry and fear he might lose his land back in Lagos to squatters after hearing many stories of the government signing away undeveloped property to so-called squatters on the land.

He returned to Lagos, only to find squatters on his property, and then went on to explain how he got his land back from squatters. What I found refreshing about his story was that he openly admitted to paying off area boys to get rid of the squatters. In his testimony, he thanked God that the area boys successfully rid him of the squatters, enabling him to install a gate and fence around his property before his return back to the States. Now, that was the first testimony I have heard in a long time that did not sound made up at all.

ARTS AND SCIENCES ARE SUBJECTS IN PNEUMATOLOGY. EVEN THE DRUGS AND MEDICINES THAT WORK FOR YOU ARE MIRACLES.

yes there are false testimonies but there are million and one genuine ones. one woman suddenly fell sick and was rushed to the hospital when she came back she testified to the glory of God cos so many were rushed like that and couldn't make.
