‘Stop crucifying me for the disaster’ – Says G.O of collapsed church, Apostle Akan Weeks,

The embattled General Overseer of Reigners International Bible Church, Uyo Akwa Ibom State, Apostle Akan Weekshas called on Nigerians to stop crucifying him over the collapse of his church building that led to the deaths of many worshippers.

In a statement posted on the church’s website, Apostle Weeks who was supposed to be ordained as a Bishop on the day of the tragedy, added that the disaster was a clear battle between light and darkness as some forces wanted to bring down the kingdom of God.

The Apostle who spoke from his hospital bed after he also suffered a cut in his leg, however, urged Nigerians to pray for him and his church instead of pointing accusing fingers at him as it was not his fault that the building collapsed.

Also speaking on the incident during a phone-in program of a private radio station in Uyo, Apostle Weeks described the tragedy as unfortunate, saying that he was equally injured by the debris of the collapsed structure.

“Apostle Akan Weeks is my name. It is very unfortunate the incident that happened on Saturday during my bishopric enthronement; I call to say that God is still on the throne.

Only God knows best and nobody can question Him. “And I want to say that for the departed souls. And those who are injured, God will give them quick and speedy recovery. I want to tell every family that is in pain that our God is the healer.

Now, people are crucifying me but no one should crucify me. I am more interested in the souls of the people I have laboured for to bring to God over the years since my tender age."

" I am so sorry and sympathize with all the families. Please, we should rise and pray together, we will win the battle.

Let Christians in Akwa Ibom State know that this battle is not all about Akan Weeks and his church, it is the battle between the kingdom of darkness and the church in the land.

I was injured in the leg too. Please, this is not the time to crucify me; I’m still your brother. Reigners Church family, I’m still your pastor. The enthronement was canceled completely and I am not interested.

Please let us rise and pray. Once I am out of my hospital bed, I will come on air and we will pray together. I was also seriously injured. One of my legs was seriously damaged.”

Apostle Weeks has also called on people to stop the further circulation of the gory pictures of the unfortunate incident on social media as it is a constant reminder of what went wrong in the church.

Controversial preacher says he can enlarge a man's penis by simply touching it (Photos)

A controversial bishop says he can enlarge a man's penis using just his hands.

Ghanaian preacher Bishop Daniel Obinim says he has been blessed with special powers by God and footage has emerged online of him in action.

In a scene broadcast on Obinim TV, Bishop Obinim says:

"If you do not like the looks of any part of your body, come to me, what do you want that I can’t offer? 

If you want big buttocks I can do it for you, if you want big breasts, I can help. If you have a small manhood, I can change them all when I come to the spiritual realm."

In a video, the founder of the International God’s Way Church has the faithful line up with their hands raised while he administers the miraculous touch.

No evidence appears to have been offered that his 'special powers' work.

The marble lid of the tomb, which has been sealed since 1555 to protect it from pilgrims who kept stealing pieces as holy relics, was removed for the first time in 500 years.

According to MirrorUK, underneath it, researchers discovered the limestone shelf where it is believed Christ’s body was placed.


A second grey marble slab which no one knew existed which was engraved with a cross believed to have been carved in the 12th century was also discovered.
