An audio recording that has surfaced on social media is sending shockwaves across Nigeria, revealing a dramatic phone conversation between a woman named Lovena and Pastor Hezekiah of the Mountain of Thunder Ministry in Abuja. The conversation, obtained and transcribed by Akinrinlola Olumide of Starnews NG, highlights a staggering case of mistaken tithe payment that has left Lovena in distress and seeking help.
In the audio, Lovena reaches out to Dr. Chido of the organization Angry and Hungry, pleading for assistance in recovering a whopping N5,000,000—money she claims she mistakenly sent to her pastor instead of the intended N500,000.
The Phone Conversation:
Phone rings…
Dr. Chido: Angry and Hungry. How can I help you, please?
Lovena: Hello, sir, good evening. My name is Lovena, I am calling from Abuja. I heard you help in recovering money people paid to their pastor.
Dr. Chido: Ok. That’s what we do here.
Lovena: I wanted to pay N500,000 tithes to my pastor but mistakenly paid him N5,000,000. I have been calling my pastor to return the money back to me, but he said the money I paid to God can never be returned. This is my life savings. I import human hairs, sell ladies’ wears, and all that. I really don’t know what to do. I need your help.
Dr. Chido: Wait a minute, you wanted to send N500,000 but mistakenly sent N5,000,000. Did you explain to your pastor that it was a mistake?
Lovena: Yes, I explained to him, but he told me that the money I gave to God cannot be returned. I really need your help. [Crying]
Dr. Chido: What is the name of this ministry?
Lovena: Mountain of Thunder Ministry.
Dr. Chido: Where is it located? Is it Abuja?
Lovena: Yes.
Dr. Chido: What is the name of this pastor?
Lovena: Pastor Hezekiah.
Dr. Chido: Can you forward his number to me right now? Let me add him on this call.
Lovena: Yes. Of course, I will send it to you immediately. Please help me, this is my life savings.
[Pastor Hezekiah is added to the call]
Dr. Chido: Hello, Pastor Hezekiah, my name is Dr. Chido from Angry and Hungry. Sorry to add you without notification. I am on the phone with a lady called Lovena, who happens to be a member of your ministry…
Pastor Hezekiah: Haaaa. My daughter.
Dr. Chido: You know her?
Pastor Hezekiah: Yeah. She is my daughter, my very loyal daughter.
Dr. Chido: Your daughter is crying here, she mistakenly paid N5 million to you. It is her business money, and she needs it back.
Pastor Hezekiah: There is no mistake; it is the Holy Spirit that guides her. You are being carnal. When the spirit says keep Harding, the spirit knows you have it.
Dr. Chido: Pastor, it was a spirit, it was a mistake. She added a few more zeros…
Pastor Hezekiah: No, the spirit does not make mistakes.
Dr. Chido: Pastor, I think the spirit has made a mistake this time because the lady is here with us and she is crying now. Lovena?
Lovena: Yes sir, I am here. [Crying profusely]
Pastor Hezekiah: My daughter, it is a thing of joy. Your miracle is on the way.
As Lovena continues to cry, Pastor Hezekiah boasts about his years of service to God, leading to a heated exchange that culminates in the call abruptly cutting off.
This shocking revelation raises significant questions about accountability and ethics within religious organizations, as Lovena’s desperate plea for help has ignited a firestorm of discussion online. Many listeners have expressed outrage over the pastor’s refusal to refund the amount, urging for more transparency and responsibility from religious leaders.
The incident has not only affected Lovena’s finances but has also sparked a larger conversation about the financial practices of religious institutions in Nigeria. As the audio circulates widely, the public awaits a response from Pastor Hezekiah and the Mountain of Thunder Ministry.
