The anti-Church of God Banned by HWA website continues to not understand nor teach the truth about a lot things. This also includes certain statements that some of those that comment there say about me, Evans Ochieng, Radson Mulozowa, and/or the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) on a nearly daily basis.
Here is a headline it posted yesterday:
Crackpot Prophet Gaslights Us Again. Adultery Is Bad, Unless It Happens In Africa
The post basically claims that CCOG pastor Radson Mulozowa is a serial adulterer and that I have ignored it and covered it up, despite me calling out adultery as a sin in a post I made yesterday: What do Americans and Others Consider Immoral? Certain violations of the 7th and 6th Commandments were the top point. The post at Banned concluded with the following statement:
Keep those tall tales coming, “prophet.” The irony is delicious, and we’re all just here for the show.
So, I will report about Malawi in this post.
But before doing so, let me state that reportedly, Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany’s Minister of Propaganda stated:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
Sadly, many have been taken in with lies that have often been repeated.
So, what is the situation in Malawi?
Received the following email from Louis Wahela today, who had left the CCOG to be part of Hope of Israel some time ago:
Pastor Dr Bob
How are you doing in AmericaI would like to report that we met with pastor Evans in Migowi to tell him our great desire to come back to our mother ccog who made us to know the truth. The meeting was very successful in the way that pastor Evans has welcome me back together with Machemba and Priscilla . We met at Rufaro hotelI have suggested to come back to my former because of the behavior of the leadership as I told you later.And the decision has been made by myself not Evans has told me to do so. Am writing this letter for you to know what is on the ground . Pastor take us as prodigal son to have realized his mistakeWe discussed much and all is fine we greatly need your prayers and supportWe are thankful for accepting us to be in church evoMay God reachly bless youLouis WahelaAfter the meeting we prayed together
As far as Louis Wahela goes, I posted some of his statements as well as those from former UCG minister John Owak last month where they denounced a lot of false reports about the CCOG in Africa (see Banned commentators posting falsehoods about Evans Ochieng, Radson Mulozowa, Bob Thiel, and the Continuing Church of God: Do not love lies!).
CCOG evangelist Evans Ochieng went to Malawi two days ago. Here is a report from him along with three photos he sent:
Pastor Dr Bob,
Greetings from Malawi.My trip in Malawi is very very successful. I met the family of Mulozowa, Priscilla and the children. The discussion was too long because it forced me to talk with Priscilla first for a long discussing matters which affected the marriage and how to reconcile. After that we had a lengthy discussion with Mulozowa and Priscilla. After the agreement is when I called all the children to discuss together. The discussion was very fine and the reconciliation was perfect.We took drinks together and took photos.After that I again had a meeting with wahela and machemba which also took a lot of time. Wahela and machemba told me so many things about TN which I don’t want to mention. But they beg their coming back to CCOG and after a long discussion, I accept them back in the church. But I told all of them to write a letter to the church to clarify themselves. …Everything is OK in Malawi and Mozambique.I also met our deacons from Mozambique, both masenga and Jackson. We discussed a lot concerning the church program in Mozambique. The meeting Was very good and I really appreciate the kind of work in Mozambique.The problem that is facing both Malawi and Mozambique is just rainfall destruction. The rain made many houses of the brethren to fall. …Machemba and wahela are also lacking good phones which can help them to get weekly updates. Even Priscilla was not having a good phone to support her.Otherwise everything was well conducted.Evans.Here are some of pictures.The first photo :- Evans, machemba, mulozowa, wahela and Priscilla.2nd is I and molozwa’s family.
Evangelist Evans Ochieng, deacon John Machemba, pastor Radson Molozwa, deacon Louis Wahela and Priscilla Mulozowa.
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So, there are three photos above with Radson Mulozowa and Priscilla Mulozowa.
Radson, himself, send the following email:
Greetings from Malawi and Mozambique.We are all doing well by the grace of God
The coming of Evans wa very fruitful in the way that we talked at large with Priscilla about our relationship.And after the meeting with Priscilla all my come to meet pastor Evans and they said many things that the divorce which Priscilla did disturb there progress and educationHe also met Wahela, Machemba and Priscilla to hear about their need to come back to ccogPastor Evans accepted them to come back to the work after total discussionDr Bob after the meeting I further told them that I will organize the meeting for both leaders of all side so that we can plan way forward. They said many things about XXX and XXXX but they are not greatfulDr Bob these brethren said that they failed to speak against what XXX and XXXX on what they were doing because of they don’t have smart phones to useThey requested pastor Evans that they failing to to get weekly updates because of phones and they need our prayers so that they can be getting updates from churchAs I told you about heavy rainfall affecting Malawi. Let me report that many houses of brethrens have fallen down and many are failing to get place to sleep, so I beg your prayers for themBest regardsRadson
UPDATE 1300. John Machemba sent me the following email:
Dr Bob

Yesterday we had discussion with pastor Evans in the that we beg his forgiveness so that we can come back to ccog as we have seen that we have been mislead by XXX and XXXX so am back to ccog. Please pray for us so that we can continue preaching the gospel of the kingdom of GodI , Wahela and Priscilla we met pastor Evans and everything has gone well though we know that after hearing that we met Evans many things will happen inorder to to disappoint us but let us look to God our answerPastor to say a little hope of Israel has no leadership and vision to lead GodPastor let me also thanks you for supporting us in all terrible life we face alwaysThanks pastorYour faithfullyJohn Machemba
So, these emails hopefully help those who have doubted the CCOG in that part of Africa, as well as encouraged our members and supporters.
Anyway, it is wrong to state or imply that I have ‘gaslighted’ anybody about Malawi.
The CCOG has endured many false statements.
But that should not be a surprise, because Jesus said that would happen:
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)
Throughout history, true prophets have been reviled and had all kinds of evil against them falsely said. So, it is no surprise the same would happen to a true prophet in the 21st century (see also 21st Century Church of God Prophets).
Jesus also said:
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, (Matthew 5:44)
Those who post against the truth at the Banned site remain in my prayers.
Jesus also said:
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God. (John 8:45-47)
Hopefully, you are of God and are one who will believe (as well as act upon) the truth.
Do not fall for the deception at Banned and elsewhere.
There is a Philadelphian remnant of the true Christian Church of God.
