“….today, Christianity has been sabotaged by the evil ones who deceive people that they are Christians whereas they are not.”

We present Pastor Emmanuel Irame also known as Oracle of the Most High God and Leader of the new religious concept LGDISM. In this interview he explains the meaning and drive of the new religion, its relationship  to modern day Christianity, the scope in global outreach and the task ahead of the ministry. Enjoy the reading!

Please introduce yourself

My name is Pastor Emmanuel Irame, aka Oracle of the Most High God

Which church are you pastoring ?

LGD Power Ministry

LGD Power Ministry also has an acronym  we see as LGDISM, can you briefly explain what LGDISM and the LGD Power Ministry mean ?

First of all, we have to start with LGD. The meaning of LGD is Love God’s Direction.  Loving God’s Direction requires one to follow the will of God. This is reflected  in the Lord’s Prayer as taught by Jesus Christ: ” Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thine kingdom come, Thine will be done on Earth …..” It is the will of God that is the centre of God’s kingdom. The will of God is your password to enter into the kingdom of God. In doing the  will of God you have to follow  God’s Will and obey God’s Commandments.  We are saying that LGD is doing the will of God always and throughout one’s  lifetime and not a futuristic project, course of action or plan of doing so tomorrow because, tomorrow  may be too late. Now, It becomes a theory, sort of phenomenon or doctrine when you add ‘ISM’ , a strong practise, and so, LGDISM is a practise of loving God’s Direction and when you love God’s  Direction you obey God’s Will.

How would you relate LGDISM as explained to Christianity in general ?

When you practise something and people follow you, it becomes a custom, a religion. Jesus Christ came under the religion of Judaism but when he attempted to cause reforms in Judaism the people were against him and that is why, to avoid conflict with the authorities of Judaism he built his own followership and religion based on the strong belief  that God’s will must be done and not what the hypocrites professed and practised.  His followers were then described as people who follow Christ’s way of knowing God rather than the hypocritical Jews and Pharisees who knew the Law but did not live their lives according to the Law. He came to enforce the Law and made it clear that those who did not want the Law to be enforced could remain as Jews but he came to do the will of God which was to save people and set the captive free and those who practise the new way of Christ carved out from Judaism were called Christians after the death of Jesus. That is how people described them, that they are people  who behaved like Christ. That is how we had Christian religion. But today, Christianity has been sabotaged by the evil ones who deceive people that they are Christians whereas they are not. How can you be Christlike ? It is to follow the way of Christ but today people are not following  the way of Christ. Many of them fornicate in the church, they encourage ritual killings, they tolerate and accommodate Internet fraudsters (Yahoo boys) in their churches and they can’t criticise or rebuke them because they want members. They forget about the souls of those members and concentrate on the money they would make from them. They misinterprete the Bible to the Congregation and a good number of Congregants now feel that money is God but money is  Mammon and you cannot serve God and Mammon together. If you want to serve money be bold to come out clearly and say your church is a place for ritual killings to make money so people will  be properly guided on the choice to make in going to church. Today, we combine all these things and manage them together.  Even the pastors and church members fight themselves, they are not united because they know they have deviated from the will of God and discriminate among themselves. They are hypocrites and many people are beginning to know the truth about them and this has made many people to loose faith and belief in God because they realise that even those who do not believe  in God are making it in life, those that don’t love God’s Direction are making it inside the church.  Even in the church, there are different powers in vogue: we have Occultists, Ritualists, Prostitutes who are led by  the spirit of Jezebel; if you go to the church you see seductive, immoral dressing commonly and this lure the weak ones to divert from the will of God and do evil. So, when I look at the modern day Christianity I see too much argument, too much distrust in the church unlike Muslims who are relatively  very united, but Christians are not united because every Christain pursues his or her personal desire and selfish interest in the church and the public is aware of these mess and unholy drives. So, I have to differentiate myself through LGDISM .., by strictly doing the will of God. 

Now LGD migrated from Christianity just as Christ did the will of God in Judaism, and therefore, LGDISM is a higher level of Christianity, a graduation from Christianity  to a higher realm. In LGDISM you can go closer to God and our mission is to transform every living soul to become a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God. Let the soul be holy so that you will be seen as a Christian, and yet, you live an immoral life, getting involved in criminal activities like 419 and Yahooo fraud business, ritual killings. At the end when you die God cannot accept your soul  because it was not holy. So, we are coming out with a new religion called LGDISM, to transform people who don’t take the law of God serious to be committed in keeping and taking the law of God serious through LGDISM, to follow God’s Direction  till they die..

How far have you gone in passing the message across to the world?

When God called me in a revelation, He visited me in thunder and lightning and voices just as in he Book of Revelation.  So,  I heard the voice of God. He came with wrath. He said , “I am wrath “. Everywhere changed colour in the midst of thunder and lightning, everybody  was running  helter-skelter for their own life. I ran too. But at a point I could no longer run. I became immobilised and saw that the power of the wrath was coming down and rested upon me. And while this was going on, hailstones from heaven were falling and people were crushed to death and the power that was pushing the stone came down and rested upon my head.  When it rested on me I was afraid that the stone would destroy me. I didn’t feel it and I heard a voice say, ” I give you the power, don’t misuse it , don’t use it negatively, avoid sin”. When I woke up  I was sweating profusely and was affraid because when you see God fear must grip you. I was shaking . That was in 2016. I didn’t  understand so I tried to tell some pastors. I assumed that  it was a power deriveable from stones so when I was praying I would hold two stones and use them to rub each other saying ” my enemies die, my enemies die”. But God said I should not use the power negatively  and praying for my enemies to die was not a positive application, rather, it should be used for healing. I didn’t  know much till early 2019. God gave me another revelation.  Something was moving in the air that everybody  had to run into their houses. The thing started at the beginning  of the year and ended at the end of the year in the revelation. I was inside a room with others. Nobody could come out. If you came out the thing would trap you and you die. So, at the end of the year, the spirit emboldened  me to come out of the house. I came out and saw the power hovering in the air and with grace I pulled it down and I saw that the power was a very small thing. I began to call on people to come out that he trouble was over. I spoke about it on a Delta Broadcasting Service  Television programme, that people would be locked inside for a year. I was in Turkey when I heard  they were trying to restrict  movement from country to country and to keep people indoors. My mind flew to the revelation.  When I came to Nigeria, I was preaching when some mobile Policemen came to me and said that there was lockdown in Nigeria and people  were expected  to be indoors and that everybody  should leave the church and go home. I then remembered  the revelation.  At that time many prophets prophesied  that the lockdown would last three months to go, some said one month; I told them the lockdown would last one year. If you can remember, towards the end of 2020 countries began to open borders for people to travel and that was the beginning of the end of COVID-19. I was convinced that God really spoke to me for the love he has for me. During the lockdown I raised a team and went on Charity work to distribute food items as palliatives  to people who were suffering from hunger induced by the lockdown. In the course of doing that, I gave oil of grace to the people saying it could heal the sick. In Ughelli I was challenged by the people  to apply it to a man who was born deaf and dumb. I applied it and to my surprise, the man spoke and heard instantly. It was announced on DBS TV and Radio and people came calling me from everywhere, PortHarcourt, Lagos, everywhere  saying pray for me, pray for me. I couldn’t sleep. And when I prayed for them they were giving testimonies. So I said something is going on. Let me go back to this thing. At that time I had just introduced the name Love God’s Direction.

How did you get the name ?

The spirit was telling me to go and preach, it was like I was hearing a voice within me saying , go and preach. Preach what I asked? Preach the good news. The voice said. I replied that I don’t know to preach, because, really, I don’t know how to speak from the beginning.  I don’t even know to give testimony in the church.  I am a very shy person. I said I can’t peach but the voice said let your business preach. And because I was a very successful businessman, I sell electronics, my major brand or product is LG. I so love LG that I had to register a company called LG Depot. So the voice said let your company name preach. I asked what ? And the voice said use the motto of LG, which is , ‘Life is Good’. So the spirit asked me, how can life be good without God’s Direction? And I had a company LG Depot, Life is Good. The spirit just told me the ‘D’ is God’s Direction  and that life cannot be good without God’s Direction.  So, if you want to enjoy good life you have to follow God’s Direction.  The thing clicked and I ran down to an artist to print Love God’s Direction (LGD) on T-shirts, and that was the first T-shirt I wore; that let everything about me preach, even my vehicles.  In one of my vehicles I had the plate number written as LGD and people were thinking I was LGD Director.  But I proclaimed that it was not a ministry but a call to love God’s Direction that if Christians don’t follow God’s Direction, God’s wrath would be against them as revealed to me. I told them God was angry because people don’t follow his direction, they do whatever they like  according  to their hearts desires without God’s Direction.  If you go to the Book of Genesis you would see how God’s wrath was demonstrated when he destroyed the corrupt and sinful world with water. The same way, God says, He will destroy this world with anything.  The day you die God has destroyed you. So don’t wait for a day everybody will be destroyed at once like the COVID-19 that killed many people. That is why I was preaching that if you love God’s Direction you will never be a victim of COVID-19. I was anointing people with the oil of grace which God gave to me through another revelation that it can solve any problem.

So, how is the task? Any progress, are people acknowledging it? Are the assurances Jesus gave about raising the dead, healing the sick, working with you ?

At a time, John the Baptist  who proclaimed Jesus’ entry and Ministry doubted Jesus Christ. He sent his disciples  to Jesus to ask if he was the messiah or the messiah was yet to come. Jesus Christ said, go and tell him the blind see, the dumb speak, the deaf hear, the lame walk. That is my answer to that question. During the COVID-19,  a man born deaf and dumb who I prayed for God opened his mouth and ears and he spoke and heard, it means that  God’s hand is on it. It was God that did it. When I preach the doctrine of LGDISM to other Ministries they feel that I am disobeying or I am changing an existing script with the maxim that, this is  how it is done, if you don’t follow it this way it would not work. How can you tell a CEO, a General Overseer of a Church that this is what you heard the spirit say, this is what you saw in the dream and this is what God told you? So, I had to open a place called the LGD Secretariat. It was not a church, a place that I would be counselling people.  But when people began to see that I was not going to church and was not doing the counselling in church  they criticised me that I was not faithful to the church.  I obtained permission from my Godfather at that time to go ahead. The first day we opened the secretariat in 2020, it was the last day of the year which we celebrate yearly as LGD Pass Over Night. It is a day we set ourselves free to Love God’s Direction because we left other Ministries so that we could be free to do the will of God. God took Israel from the hands of its captor to worship Him at the Pass Over Night. Since then, it has been a rain of miracles. Demons cry, God revealed the secret of demons and deities and we arrest them and lock them up in bottles. They manifest what we do to them directly.  It is a war against the power of Darkness.  The day we capture any kingdom we burn them and that is the Armaggedon. The secretariat is a place of war against the kingdom of darkness, to set the people of God free and let them possess their possession because, the people of God are oppressed and God’s wrath is against the kingdom of darkness. So we are destroying witches and wizards, occultic powers, accenstral spirits and false prophets. We have seen false prophets manifesting and confessing, we have seen witches and wizards confessing, demons confessing; we go to villages to invoke  demons causing hardship to people and put them in bottles. A boy who was possessed with a demon and the demon wanted the boy to serve him manifested the moment he stepped his foot here. The demon was crying that we should not put him into a bottle, that means they know what we do here and that I should not cage them. Many of the demons that possess people, the moment they step here they manifest. The miracles make me believe that it is real. The blind see, those who cannot walk walk; those who died woke up. Some persons I delivered here died, because, some people move with the spirit of death. If they dont want you to deliver them, they use sickness to attack them and they die. If not for the grace of God we would have encountered more than 100 deaths. But when you die I have the assurance that God will raise you. A girl died, the family ran away crying to town that I have killed her but before they came back the girl was alive , delivered and happy. So, we have some cases that are severe, people who are possessed with evil spirits and feel that there is no church to deliver them, but the evil spirit also ministers to them that this place is unique and when they come here, they get result. We don’t place them on fasting since we don’t do fasting here, because God is raw. If God wants to fight a battle he doesn’t need a seven days fasting before he acts. God sees your enemy and destroys them immediately.  So I don’t do fasting, I don’t do all night vigil services. I don’t ask for money before destroying your enemies. How would I ask you to pay before I destroy your enemies? The enemy will use the opportunity to torment you because at that time you may not have money to pay. So I don’t ask for money before I destroy your enemies for you. If a witch is oppressing you, you come and we deliver you and we kill the witch.

How is the body of the Church  reacting to your existence in line with your new philosophy of LGDISM since you are already out of their fold ?

The truth is that, as you said, I am out. First, I decided to stay away from them because I knew that they would make an enemy of me because of my doctrine and new concept of relating with God through LGDISM, I mean the critique of the behaviour of Christians. But now some of the  pastors are criticising themselves, they are carrying out the corrections and reforms I spoke about. I pray  God to open their eyes and grant them the spirit of repentance.  They know that they are not saved, they are luring people into hell because they know that they cannot make heaven and they don’t want others to make heaven. So they focus on materialism and money, trying to convince people that Heaven is on Earth here. We know heaven is on earth but it must be on the will of God. But when you see immorality in the church, pastors sleeping with church women, members of choir dating themselves and corrupting children in the church, and letting evil becoming the order of the  day; it is by their fruits that we know them. Many pastors who I thought would be angry with me for my stand and declare me persona non grata, I am surprised that when I meet with some big pastors they give me honour. They say they have heard about me and acknowledge the good things I have done. A certain Bishop knelt down and said I should pray for him. I was affraid, but the Lord said pray for him. He was in my office for a case and I delivered him of a spiritual attack and he came to show appreciation.  When he mentioned the church, it was a big church.  But here I don’t have a huge crowd and I have delivered  thousands of people from various problems. I use my money to also support them. Those I deliver I give some N100k, N50k, N20k as the case may be. People  ask if I bribe them and I say no! That if Satan can entice people to his kingdom by rituals, the money God gave me I will use it to entice them to God.But unfortunately, that approach did not work. You can’t use money to entice men to God because, people love darkness rather than light.  Human beings love darkness, they enjoy it because it is used to them. They were born so and find it inconvenient to change. But when you keep preaching the Truth it would have impact. I delivered  a woman who was dating a married man, she was asking if the N20k I gave her to stop immoral act would fèed here onwards if she broke the relationship. And each time I preach against such behaviour they feel I was becoming a nuisance to their relationship and social life and would ultimately decide not to come to church again. Jesus Christ said they love Darkness rather than Light because their deeds are evil and would be exposed. I can deliver a fraudster (419) who is under the wrath of God and ask for forgiveness for him to let him gain salvation  but will he continue to worship God ? No! One day they will still go back again. So, I continue to pray for their transformation.

Can you be a member of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) ?

No! This LGDISM is for humanity. It is not for only Christians. Do it right. Obey God’s Command: don’t serve any other god before the Creator of Heaven and Earth, don’t worship  any idol,  don’t call the name of God in vain like a hypocrite claiming that he is worshipping God and he is doing nonsense; honour the Sabbath Day and keep it holy, set a day aside to worship God diligently, from your heart and your might and strength and then, obey your mother and father; don’t commit adultery, don’t kill, don’t bear false witness, don’t covet your neighbours property. If you can do all these, whether you are a Muslim or a Christian you are in LGDSM.  If you follow God’s Direction you are an LGDist automatically.  You could be a Muslim if you do it right God will accept you, you would become holy and acceptable unto God.

It is obvious that the principles of LGDISM are centred on humanity and fear of God, what advise would you give to politicians?

If a nation is corrupt God will not be with them. If the head of a nation is corrupt all citizens would be corrupt. It is only by Loving God’s Direction that we can bring peace to a nation. If the president does it right according to the will of God, it means that everybody will be happy. This is because, in truth, nobody hates Truth. We are where we are because we are not doing it right. Everybody is protesting in their hearts, in their spirits; they are not happy.  You promised that you would give job to our graduate children and they have no job after all investments in their university education, is this really right? Are you saying we do not have the resources to provide jobs for the people? And those people  voted you in and you promised that everything will be alright. Is everything alright now? You have become a liar and treacherous.  You are not truthful. In LGD we practise Truth and righteousness. If you say it is truth, is it really right? What you say is right may not be Truth. Some people try to make their selfish heart desires to be public desire and the public will know that they are lying, and they will protest and there will be no peace. My Command is ” love just right and hate just wrong”. If you govern the people right there will be peace and everybody will enjoy, but if you govern wrong and are guided by your own personal heart desires and selfish interests, there would be no peace.

Pastor Emmanuel Irame

To round up, speak a word of advise to President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

During the 2023 presidential campaign and before the presidential election, God told me that Tinubu would be the president. I prophesied it. My church members and my family members were against me. They said no, Tinubu cannot be, he is too rough, he is too this and that. I said God knows why. You see, in everything  give thanks to God. If God says it is Tinubu, God he knows the reason. Tinubu is somebody who is strong and Nigeria needs a strong man as president because Nigerians are strong hearted. So, you cannot bring a Christian that would be trying to maintain peace,  because even the Christians are not strong in faith. Nigerians may fight against that Christian president and God may not be with him because of his unfaithfulness; a lot of Christians in Nigeria are unfaithful. But now God says he can use wrong to correct right to show that he is God. So, I urge Nigerians to forget about whether Tinubu is right or wrong, what I know is God said Tinubu would be President.  They said Tinubu is too rough like a dog, I said the other person is like a cat. If you compared the two, I chose the dog. A dog can bark, bite and kill. But if you behave well, make friend and show love, the dog will make you a friend and show you love. If Nigeria can go in peace and be obedient to the laws of the nation, Tinubu will not hurt them. But Tinubu will be aggressive when Nigerians sabotage his government.  You see, for example the Federal government will give billions of naira as allocation to Delta State, what has the money been used for? We should not let all blames be on Tinubu. We need to pray to God, ask that this man you gave us as president, give him wisdom and understanding to govern us and we as Christians, we have to behave in a Godfearing manner so that Tinubu would have peace because when you do it right the President will have peace to govern well.

And you Governor, especially the one of my state, Delta; whatever that Tinubu gives to  you utilise and prioritise it well, don’t use it to satisfy your personal and selfish interests. Don’t let your imagination and selfish desire influence your decision. Ask yourself, this thing I want to do will it favour the public? If you satisfy the desires and yearnings of the public then you are a good ruler because God said love your neighbour as yourself.  But when you love yourself and your neighbour is not included you would provoke them and they would not vote you in  next time. A good name is better than riches .

Thank you very much.
