Renowned Zambian Clergyman Allegedly Raises Man from the Dead: A Miracle or Misconception?
The name of Prophet Isaac Praise of Monze, a well-known Zambian clergyman, has reverberated across social media platforms in Africa and beyond. The reason? He purportedly performed a miraculous resurrection, bringing back to life a 24-year-old man who had been declared dead for two days.
The news of such a miraculous feat has captivated the attention of people across the continent, sparking fervent discussions and debates about the nature of miracles, faith, and the role of religious leaders in society. While some hail the alleged resurrection as a divine intervention and a testament to Prophet Isaac Praise’s spiritual prowess, others approach it with skepticism, questioning the authenticity and verifiability of such claims.
For believers, stories of miraculous healings and resurrections serve as reaffirmations of their faith, offering hope and solace in the face of adversity. The idea of a divine intervention, where the impossible becomes possible through the power of prayer and spiritual guidance, resonates deeply with those who subscribe to religious doctrines.
However, amidst the fervor and excitement surrounding such accounts, it is essential to exercise critical thinking and scrutiny. Claims of miraculous healings and resurrections are not uncommon in religious circles, but they also invite scrutiny and skepticism from those who demand empirical evidence and scientific validation.
In the case of Prophet Isaac Praise’s alleged resurrection, questions inevitably arise regarding the veracity of the claim and the possibility of alternative explanations. Skeptics may argue that without concrete evidence and independent verification, such stories remain anecdotal and open to interpretation.
Moreover, the proliferation of social media amplifies the reach and impact of such stories, often blurring the line between fact and fiction. Viral posts and sensational headlines can spread rapidly, shaping public perception and influencing beliefs without adequate scrutiny or critical analysis.
As the story of Prophet Isaac Praise’s alleged resurrection continues to unfold, it serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding faith, miracles, and the power of perception. While some may choose to embrace the narrative as a testament to divine intervention, others may approach it with a degree of skepticism, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based inquiry and critical thinking in assessing extraordinary claims.
Ultimately, whether viewed through the lens of faith or skepticism, the story of the alleged resurrection prompts reflection on the intersection of belief, spirituality, and the quest for meaning in an ever-changing world. It invites us to navigate the complexities of faith and miracles with humility, curiosity, and an openness to diverse perspectives.
In recent weeks, Prophet Jeremiah Omotosho, a notable figure in the Nigerian religious community, has become the center of a heated controversy. This drama unfolds as “Very Dark Man” challenges the authenticity of Prophet Omotosho’s spiritual products, leading to a legal dispute that has caught the attention of many.
Prophet Omotosho is renowned for offering spiritual guidance and selling items claimed to possess miraculous properties, including soap, water, and LED bulbs. These products are marketed as having the power to heal and bring wealth, with prices sometimes exceeding $1500.
The controversy began when “Very Dark Man” questioned the legitimacy of these claims. He demanded proof of the NAFDAC (National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control) number associated with the soap and called for transparency about the spiritual materials used. In response, Prophet Omotosho has filed a lawsuit against “Very Dark Man,” alleging defamation and demanding an investigation.
The case has ignited a broader debate about the ethics of monetizing spiritual services. Here are some key concerns of the public:
- Exploitation of Faith: Critics argue that selling spiritual items at such high prices exploits individuals’ faith and desperation. The hefty price tags on these items raise ethical questions about the intentions behind their sale.
- Lack of Transparency: The absence of clear information regarding the ingredients and spiritual efficacy of these products has fueled skepticism. People are demanding more transparency about what exactly is being sold and whether these products genuinely deliver on their promises.
- Reputation of the Church: The scandal surrounding Prophet Omotosho has broader implications for the Christian community. When high-profile religious leaders become embroiled in controversies, it can erode public trust in the church and its leaders.
The ongoing lawsuit highlights the contentious nature of this issue. The outcome of this legal battle could set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future and might influence the practices of other religious leaders.
The situation with Prophet Jeremiah Omotosho serves as a crucial reminder of the complex dynamics at play when faith and commerce intersect. As legal proceedings continue, it is essential for both religious leaders and followers to consider the ethical implications of selling spiritual services and to advocate for greater transparency and integrity within the faith community, else the Christian community would be jeopardized by fake prophets and extortion of the general public.

My mom was everything to me. Unfortunately, after we lost my dad, my mom fell into deep depression, and her mental illness has since taken her to another level
My Journey with My Mentally Ill Mother
My mom was everything to me. Unfortunately, after we lost my dad, my mom fell into deep depression, and her mental illness has since taken her to another level. But despite everything, I have never forgotten my mom or the sacrifices she made for me. It’s because of her, and by God’s grace, that I am here today. Every day, I bring her food, clean up her bed, and take care of her, even though it breaks my heart to see her this way.
It hurts deeply when people refer to me as “that daughter of a mad woman.” But I will never deny my mom. Most people who come close to me often distance themselves once they realize that I’m the daughter of a well-known mentally ill woman in the market. They mock me because of my mom’s condition, but I stand firm in my love and respect for her.
Mommy, I love you. You remain my mom, and nothing will ever change that. You gave birth to me, and I’m here to stay by your side. I will always love you, and I promise that I’ll never abandon you, Mama.
Sometimes, I can’t help but envy my friends whose moms are all okay, and I wish everything were fine with you, Mommy. But despite everything, you are still my mother, and my love for you will never fade.

Look at me now—a child abandoned by her own mother when she was just 7 months old. My story is one of pain, survival, and ultimately, triumph
I was raised by my grandmother, but at age 7, I lost her too. My father took me in, and I was overjoyed at the thought of finally living with him. Little did I know, it was the beginning of a long, dark chapter in my life. My stepmother was cruel, subjecting me to all kinds of maltreatment. There were times I went hungry for days, starved to the point where I would see darkness in broad daylight. Once, in desperation, I ate our dog’s leftover food, only to be caught by the neighbor’s son. His mother later called me over and asked if it was true. Terrified, I begged her not to tell my stepmother, knowing she would punish me severely for not throwing the food away.
That kind woman wept for me and promised to give me food every day in secret. She kept that promise until we moved away. But as if starving me wasn’t enough, my stepmother also resorted to brutal beatings. She would flog me mercilessly until I fainted at times. She would apply pepper to my private parts, eyes, armpits, and neck, tie me up, and abandon me in one of the toilets for hours without food. When I begged for water, she would cruelly tell me to drink my own excrement and urine. I shed tears whenever I remember these things—I was living in hell on earth.
Despite all these horrors, I was bright academically and loved by God and many kind people. I knew that the only way to escape this suffering was through education, so I never joked with my studies. I was determined to succeed, and I did.
So you see, I have every right to be hateful, bitter, jealous, arrogant, sad, negative, and toxic—but I chose not to be. For years, my stepmother has been trying to reach me. But if I’m honest, I don’t know if I’m ready for her. And as for my mother, who chose to leave me—her own daughter, her firstborn—just because she had issues with my father, wherever you are, Momma, I want you to know this: The daughter you abandoned 29 years ago has finally achieved her dreams, even without the love of a father or mother. She is now a great woman in society.
