Former Church Member Alleges Pastor Lazarus Muoka Secretly Wed Third Wife
A former member of The Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement (TLCCRM) has publicly accused the church's founder and General Overseer, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, of secretly marrying a third wife. The allegation emerged in a viral video circulating on social media, where the woman expressed strong disapproval of the alleged union and the secrecy surrounding it.
Claims of Secret Weddings to Avoid Objections
The ex-member explained that Pastor Muoka reportedly conducts his weddings in secret to prevent objections from attendees who might challenge the marriage during the ceremony. She stated, "Congratulations to our pastor for getting married to his third wife. I know the reason why he likes to do it secretly, so that people who admire him, like us, will not come out when they ask if anyone has anything to say that could stop the wedding. Someone like me, if I were there that day, I would have raised my hand." She further alleged that the pastor's preaching once led to her separation from her husband, claiming it destroyed her marriage.
Allegations About the Bride and Timing
The woman criticized the choice of bride, noting that Pastor Muoka did not marry women who openly display devotion in church but instead selected an American citizen, similar to his late wife. She remarked, "One funny thing about it is that he did not marry those women that are rolling themselves on the floor. The person he got married to is an American citizen just like the former wife that just passed away." Additionally, she highlighted the timing, pointing out that the alleged marriage occurred less than two years after the death of the pastor's previous wife.
Church's Response and Public Reactions
Legit.ng reached out to The Lord's Chosen church for clarification on these allegations, but no response has been received at the time of publication. Meanwhile, Nigerians have reacted strongly on social media. User @AkandeJozzy commented, "People need to know that your pastor is not your God. Are you going to church to worship the pastor or your God? Stop this foolish behavior." Others, like @manlikezeal_, criticized modern pastors for preaching discipline while breaking their own rules in private.
Background: Pastor Muoka's Warning to Content Creators

During a sermon, he declared that such creators are toying with their lives and generations by ridiculing the church and its miracles, advising them to repent to avoid perpetual suffering according to biblical teachings.
