Pastor Blessed Oguguamakwa Dikeh seems to be in the
mould of those who are out to challenge the status quo. He has declared that Christians should forget about the second coming of Jesus Christ (rapture), saying that it would never come to pass.
In his words: "There is nothing like hell fire after life. Heaven
is here on earth already. When you are suffering, you are in
hell fire. If you are in poverty and cannot pay your house rent
then you are already in hell. But when you are in heaven, even if you reside in a flat, your landlord will come and beg you for
money. He would even say don't worry, I will give the other
tenant quit notice for you."
In an Interview with Daily Independent, Pastor Dikeh further
insisted that:
"There is nothing like rapture. If you tell me that rapture
means when a person dies, his soul goes back to God and his
flesh to the dust, then I will agree, but anything other than
that, I don't agree.
Don't let anybody deceive you.
He also stated (like the Jehovah Witnesses) that there's no
hell fire after death. Pastor Dikeh also dropped another
controversial statement: "I pray in the name of God, because
my father, Adam, did not pray in Jesus' name. Jesus is a servant like me.
He has finished his assignment and has gone. I am a servant
too. When I finish my work, I will go. Jesus has done a good
job, but I have problem with people who are giving him the
honour that is not due him. If you say Jesus is the saviour of
the whole world, who then is God?"
The pastor recently came under heavy criticism by Nigerians
over his strange biblical beliefs and the purported serving of
alcohol to members in his church.
