Nigerians React as Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin’s Ministry Responds Gracefully to Mockery: “Spiritual Realities Are Not Always Logical”

The internet has been buzzing with reactions as Nigerians weigh in on the recent shade allegedly thrown at Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin by Pastor Abel Damina. The controversy erupted after a sermon in which Pastor Damina ridiculed an unnamed South South prophet for selling what he described as “heavenly sand, soap, the Key of David, and Heaven’s ATM Card.”
Social media users and members of the Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry have since responded, calling for maturity, understanding, and respect for spiritual diversity within the Christian community. While some see Damina’s comments as humorous, others say the remarks crossed a line.
In a widely shared Facebook post, one Nigerian believer captured the sentiment of many:
**“Honestly, I think it’s time we all learn to respect the diversity in how God moves through His servants.
I watched the video where Pastor Abel Damina mocked symbolic items like ‘Heaven’s ATM Card’ and ‘Key of David’ and while some might laugh, I couldn’t help but feel it crossed a line.
If we truly understand the prophetic and the deep symbolism often found in African Pentecostalism, these things aren’t strange at all. They’re metaphors, points of contact. Just like Moses had a rod or Elijah had a mantle, God can use anything to stir faith.
Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin’s ministry has always been bold, visual, and prophetic and it’s worked. There are countless testimonies to back it up. Mocking what you don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s not real. It just shows you’re not part of that frequency.
What I admire most is that Christ Mercyland didn’t clap back with insults. They responded with grace, choosing unity over division. That’s spiritual maturity.
Disagreeing is fine. We won’t all serve God the same way. But public mockery of another man’s calling? That’s dangerous ground.
Let’s be careful. The kingdom needs healing, not hostility.

This comment echoes what many believers are feeling: concern over the rising trend of pulpit mockery and a desire for more unity in the Body of Christ.
A spokesperson from Christ Mercyland echoed similar sentiments:
“Not everything in the realm of the Spirit is meant to be dissected by carnal logic. Prophetic acts—whether it’s the use of oil, water, or symbolic keys—are not new. From Moses’ rod to Elijah’s mantle, the Bible is filled with physical tokens that carried spiritual weight.”
Indeed, Prophet Fufeyin’s ministry is known for highly visual and symbolic forms of faith expression. While critics may dismiss them as superstition, thousands of testimonies from across Nigeria and abroad tell a different story.
According to the ministry, items like the “Heaven’s ATM Card” are not literal objects of power but prophetic metaphors—tools to awaken faith and remind believers of their spiritual access and covenant rights in a relatable, modern context.
Still, rather than retaliating with counterattacks, the ministry has maintained its stance on peace, forgiveness, and unity.
“We will not fight back,” said the ministry’s media director. “We appreciate Pastor Damina’s passion for doctrine, but the move of God cannot be boxed into one expression.”
As the sermon clip continues to trend, the bigger conversation now seems to be shifting—from doctrine to dignity.
In a time when Christian unity is more needed than ever, the call from many Nigerians is clear: “Correct, if you must—but do it with love, not ridicule.”
For Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin and his followers, the focus remains unchanged: deliverance, healing, and restoration for all who believe.
