Why My ‘Pool of Bethesda Water’ ‘Miracle Handkerchiefs’, Other Spiritual Products May Not Work for You – Prophet Fufeyin

Jeremiah Fufeyin, the founder and lead prophet of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry (CMDM) in Warri, Delta State, recently addressed concerns over the efficacy of his spiritual products such as ‘Pool of Bethesda water,’ ‘Miracle handkerchiefs,’ and ‘Anointed oil.’ The prophet’s remarks come in the wake of public criticism following the launch of these products, which include miracle soap, perfume, spiritual shirts, and mustard seeds.

Controversial social media critic Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has been a vocal opponent of Fufeyin’s products. VDM questioned their legitimacy and demanded the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) certification numbers for these items. According to a report from PREMIUM TIMES, Fufeyin advertised his products during a Facebook live session, claiming they possessed miraculous healing powers and spiritual significance.

Despite having sold faith-based products since 2019, Fufeyin’s recent offerings have attracted significant criticism. VDM, known for his activism against fraudulent practices, accused the prophet of exploiting the poor by selling ineffective miracle items. He condemned Fufeyin for monetizing what should be freely accessible to all believers and reported him to NAFDAC for selling what he termed “fake spiritual products.”

In response to the backlash, Prophet Fufeyin addressed his congregation during a live Sunday service. He explained that the effectiveness of his spiritual products depends on the user’s love and belief in him and his ministry. “If you don’t love me, no matter how you speak or use the handkerchief, it cannot work,” Fufeyin stated, emphasizing that belief and love are essential for the products to be effective.

Fufeyin also referenced his Pool of Bethesda water, stating that those who doubt or mock his spiritual gifts would find the products ineffective. “If you pour it upon yourself or drink it all day, it will not work if you have an evil motive,” he added, quoting scripture to support his claims.

The prophet’s followers showed enthusiastic support during his defense, while reactions from netizens were mixed. The controversy escalated when VDM alleged that Fufeyin had filed a N1 billion lawsuit against him, seeking damages and a restraining order to silence further criticism.

In a bold move, VDM announced on Instagram that he would meet Fufeyin in court. He vowed to bring 800 deaf people, 700 blind individuals, and 36 women seeking the fruit of the womb to challenge the prophet to demonstrate the efficacy of his miracle products before a judge.

VDM further tested Fufeyin’s claims by ordering a batch of the prophet’s miracle water and conducting an experiment at a disability home in Abuja. Documented in a 24-minute YouTube video, the experiment involved physically challenged individuals using the products without any apparent miraculous effects, sparking further debate about their legitimacy.

Amid the ongoing legal battle, rumors circulated that Fufeyin had forgiven VDM and withdrawn the lawsuit. However, VDM denied these claims, stating on social media that the case remained active and unresolved.
