Photo: Baby allegedly dies in church after dedication

A witness to the sad incident sent me the story...but I am going to leave out the name of the church and the pastor who dedicated the baby, because I haven't been able to verify the authenticity of the story, but the person who sent it to me swears this happened. Her story below...
"The story is about a couple who attends a church around the IPO axis in Lagos. The name of the Church is (name withheld) opposite the MTN mast in Baruwa around Ipaja area of Lagos State. The Pastor whose name is (name withheld) dedicated a baby on sunday 1st June, 2014 and the baby (pictured above) died right there in the church.
It was an unusual thing to have seen a pastor dedicating a baby without carrying the baby on his hand. What the Pastor did was to sprinkle oil and he prayed without even touching the baby. When someone who was invited by the couple, Godwin and Amaka Mark asked them why the pastor wasn't carrying the baby, they stated that it was a norm in that church for babies to be dedicated in that manner. Soon after the benediction, the Pastor disappeared from the church and when the parents of the dead baby realized that their child was no more breathing, they called the pastor on his mobile phone. Continue..

The pastor refused to come back to the church stating that he had already taken off his clothes. He was further told that the baby which he had just dedicated was dead and his response was, "it is well"!

The bereaved parents had to go and bury their dead child with the assistance of the invited guests.

The following day, the pastor sent some people to pay a condolence visit to the bereaved couple. The mother of the deceased child said that the pastor knows about the death of her child and when she expressed her displeasure over the Pastor's actions, the emissary went back to inform the pastor.

The pastor has threatened to sue Mrs Amaka Mark if she does not retract her statement within 7days.

Mr and Mrs Mark made it very clear to the pastor that they were ready for any legal tussle with him. Now the pastor has been pleading with the couple in order not to make it public.

    In every situation proclaim it is well and it shall be well.
    In my chrch as well (LFC) the pastor didn't carry the babies as well. He only anoint them.
    Where he wan see time to carry all the babies when we dedicate @least 8 babies @ once.

  22. Rip,little one.Really sad the baby passed,The Lord will comfort and strengthen the parents. Please I don't quite get the point of this incident,apart from the sad passing of the child,is the pastor being accused of killing the child or the person narrating the incident is upset the pastor didn't hold the child during the dedication,left right after,undressed.......?
    Or Is it the lack of concern the pastor showed that is being communicated here?

  23. Hmmmm bizarre.
    But the parents of the baby goofed by not taking the baby to the hospital for medical examination,before burying the baby.
    I hope proper investigation would be conducted to ascertain what actually led to the death of the baby.

  41. people should be careful to type nonsense about a man of God, just look at that baby in the picture, the baby doesn't look that healthy on the picture. you know your baby is sick, you brought to the church to be laid hands on, expecting a miracle and when you did not get the miracle, you turn around a speak trash against a man of God.

    It just so happened the baby died at that moment, the pastor didn't even the child. Are they implying he had something to do with it or just dissappointed with his response ?

    1. don't say what u don't know kk. In a lot of churches these days, esp new generation churches an average of 5 babies are dedicated together without the Pastor carrying any of them. That baby looks very pale and unhealthy. They should search for his cause of death some place else

  51. Reading this story, isnt it obvious that it is the parents of the dead baby that sent this in? I dont get why Nigerians hold pastors in such high esteem as if they are god!

    BTW, that baby looks so emaciated. He definitely looks premature and looks like he should have been kept in the hospital to receive further care postnatal.

    Perhaps they were expecting a miracle from the pastor? Why sue him? He didn't even touch the baby, so what will u sue him for? For not raising ur baby from the dead?? Mcheew! I am not fund of all these pastors especially the prosperity preachers...but it baffles me when nigerians put their all into these pastors especially their money and trust, and then expect heaven and earth from them like they are gods.

  52. That baby did not look right In the first place. He/ she looked sick in that photo. Babies are not suppose to have pot belly. His/her death has nothing to do with the pastor.

  54. I don't know the pastor that is involve and I don't know the church that they are talking about, we did not hear the postor's side of the storry but the truth is that by main looking at this baby picture above shows that this baby is not healthy and that pastor might know spiritually that the baby will die but don't know how to tell the parent of the baby. But I notice the people especially in Nigeria and in this log likes criticising pastors of which I don't personally do because am not the God that calls them or they are working for. Is only God that has the power and authority to judge and reward every one both pastors and non pastors according to our works.

  56. There is nothing wrong with a pastor not carrying a child for dedication. because the child belongs to the parent and not the pastor imagine that the child died in the hands of the pastor... i am a memeber mountain of fire and we pastors in mfm dont carry children. we only pray and anoint the child

  73. If this is the true account of what really happened, I sincerely do not suspect any fowl play by the pastor. This might be a coincidence. With due respect from the picture above the baby is not looking well and may have passed on before the dedication. And it is not proven that the pastor killed the baby yet, there wasn't any direct contact between the pastor and the child, remember.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Ignorance is terrible. They have buried the baby without an autopsy? How in Gods name do the parents plan on proving the pastor is responsible?

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hmmnn....in this modern day of fake churches popping up from every corner its possible the pastor knows something. But on another hand this baby looks really sick. No one should rule out d possibility of the baby dying of an ailment. I actually thought it was d picture of d dead baby until I looked closely. My advice is 4 the couple to 4get any finger pointing, ask 4 God's intervention & change church if he are not pleased with the pastor. The pain of loosing a child is more than enough. There is no need 4 any tussle.

Even if d pastor is a wizard, how are they going to prove it? In my church pastors don't touch the babies during child dedication and I never saw it as something wrong but now I know why they don't carry d babies becos of situations like this, all they do is pray and pour anointing oil on d baby, while d parent carry d baby.

  115. Hmmmm, am a very close person to the church nd d parent of d so called baby hav bin a member of d church for ova 4 years..when she gave birth on the 10th of december last year she hid d baby from d public view even from d dhurch members, we were speculating and we later found out dat d baby has no ears and has a stunted growth..imagine a 6months old baby looking like a day old...obviously they were tired of taking care of the baby and decided to take away d life of d baby without putting themselves into any scandal, they decide d best way will be to smear the pastor's name nd d church in general by bringing the baby to church after already plannin her death in the name of dedication..afta d dedication the baby was stil alive nd dey carried d baby alive out of d church,,30min afta he left d church wit his family nd well wishers, a member on her way home saw him nd he said his baby ws dead nd already buried..am sure buried hastily to cover deir crime..so obviously the pastor has nothin to do with d death of the baby istead the parent should be asked what dey hav done wit deir baby cos d cause of the baby deformity was as a result of some drugs d mother took during d conception of the baby which affected its viatl oragns nd caused d deformity of no ears nd stunted growth nd even laboured breathing..d baby's body should be exhumed nd an autopsy should be done to determine d cause of d death..so stop speculating or having unreasonable ideas witout hearing frm both sides..the pastor could just be a victim of circumstance...the parents should go get a life nd stop castigating a true servant of God...

  116. I'm a doctor linda, i assure you that this baby was very sick. The parents are just looking for someone to blame for their circumstance.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Guilty of what! People are so stupid. they put all their trust in a human being and expect miracles. What exactly are they accusing the pastor for? For not being sensitive enough? The fact that he didnt touch the baby is enough proof he didnt cause the death. From the picture, this baby was either premature or very sick and should still have in the hospital. Maybe they couldnt pay hospital bills, took the baby out of the hospital and brought the baby to church, expecting a miracle. I'm a born again Christian, but people need to be more sensible and realistic

    ReplyDelete
  118. May your soup RIP little one. Lets not be too quick to judge the pastor, you can never tell. Though personally, I feel the pastor should have shown some concern but then who knows how the person that called the pastor sounded on the phone.....But then no matter what he owe it to the innocent child and to God to show some concern to the parents... That's what his work is all about.

  120. See the baby's stomach, eyes, hands, face. It's very clear that it was a very sick child. It's a pity it died just after dedication.

  122. It is sad they lost their child but they should have done an autopsy instead of assuming the pastor killed the child- The picture of this baby shows that baby was either sick or not feeding well. new baby's skin should not sag and wrinkle as it is. May God comfort the bereaved

  126. Coincidences happen! Moreso, the death seemed to have occurred after the service ended. They called the Pastor at home not in the church, so he the baby didn't die in the church.

    Nothing wrong with this proclamation - IT IS WELL

  127. I conceived dis as tru. Bt .y philosophy teaches mi nt to mk conclusions and my logic teacher says, verify d issue and. Moral teachings says, kw d intention and circumstance. So, dis tinz hapen no doubt bt of tru, d Pastor shuld b held for questionin and doz couple shuld b questioned bcoz I ent kw y de ar d only one who saw d pastor nt touching d baby. By d way, wen a child is born dat child like u is old enough to die. Do we evn kw d condition of dat child bfor chuch tym? Lagos na wa!

  136. RIP little one. now i know why most pastors don't carry the babies during dedication. in my church, the father carries d child, anoints the child and prophesies over the child himself so if u don't know how to declare, its your cup of tea cos u are clearly told that as the father, you have more authority over your child than any pastor does.instead of tarnishing the pastors image, they should do an autopsy and let the child rest in peace. if the pastor is being accused for not carrying the child; he probably would have been lynched if he had actually carried the child.

  138. THE BABY DID NOT DIE IN THE CHURCH.
    THE MOTHER OF THE BABY TESTIFIED IN THE OPEN CHURCH THAT HER HUSBAND PROCURED A PARTICULAR DRUG FROM THE INTERNET, SHE TOOK THE DRUG WHILE PREGNANT AND IT AFFECTED HER BABY ADVERSELY, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BABY CAME OUT DEFORMED, EVEN WITHOUT EARS.
    2. GODWIN MARK AND HIS FAMILY LEFT THE CHURCH HAPPILY AND HE WAS INVITING PEOPLE TO HIS HOUSE FOR MERRIMENT.
    3. HIS WIFE ONLY INFORMED THE PASTOR WHEN SHE GOT HOME THAT THE BABY WAS SICK AND THAT HER HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE HOSPITAL WITH THE BABY. THE PASTOR THEN WONDERED WHY SHE DID NOT ACCOMPANY HIM, BECAUSE HER RESPONSE WAS NOT CONVINCING, SO THE PASTOR SAID ''IT IS WELL''.
    4. GODWIN MARK DID NOT AT ANY TIME INFORM ANYBODY IN THE CHURCH THAT THEIR CHILD WAS SICK OR WAS DYING. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY SO EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE PASTOR'S WIFE AND HIS P.A. WERE IN THE CHURCH BEFORE THEY LEFT WITH THIER CHILD.
    5. IT WAS ONLY GODWIN MARK THAT SAW THE CORPSE OF THE BABY AND HE BURIED HER ALONE. IT WAS AFTER BURYING THE CHILD THAT HE INFORMED HIS BEST FRIEND IN THE CHURCH WHO NOW INFORMED THE PASTOR.
    6. GODWIN MARK WAS SUMMONED BY THE PASTOR TO COME TO THE CHURCH TO EXPLAIN TO THE CHURCH COUNCIL WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY, BUT HE REFUSED.
    7. TILL THIS MOMENT, GODWIN MARK HAS NOT OFFICIALLY INFORMED THE PASTOR OR THE CHURCH THAT HIS CHILD DIED.
    8. THE CAMERA-MAN THEY INVITED FOR THE CEREMONY DID NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOGRAPHS BECAUSE HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE ONLY THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE PASTOR CARRYING THE BABY. SINCE THE PASTOR DID NOT TOUCH THE BABY, THERE WERE NO PHOTOGRAPHS.
    CONCLUSION..GODWIN MARK AND HIS WIFE COULD NO LONGER BEAR THE STRESS OF THEIR CHILD'S DEFORMITY, SO DECIDED TO GET RID OF HER, BUT WANTED TO USE IT AS OIPPROTUNITY TO BLACKMAIL THE PASTOR FOR SUSPENDING HIM(GODWIN MARK) FROM BEING HEAD OF THE CHURCH CHOIR.
    THE PASTOR HAS ALREADY REPORTED THE MATTER TO THE POLICE FOR PROPER INVESTIGATION.

  139. Anything medical cld have caused the death of the child. If the pastor needed the child he cld aswell allow the parents get home with the baby and take his life later, not in the church where he knows the parents wld easily shift the blame on him

  140. Did Doctor examine the baby after birth? the baby look sick. don't condemn the pastor, every church with different doctrine.More investigation need to be done.

  141. This baby looks like one with Hutchinson-Gilford Disease, quite rare tho.
    "They develop a characteristic facial appearance including prominent eyes, a thin nose with a beaked tip, thin lips, a small chin, and protruding ears. Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome also causes hair loss (alopecia), aged-looking skin, joint abnormalities, and a loss of fat under the skin (subcutaneous fat).
    People with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome experience severe hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) beginning in childhood. This condition greatly increases the chances of having a heart attack or stroke at a young age. These serious complications can worsen over time and are life-threatening for affected individuals."
    just my two cents.

  142. This baby looks quite abnormal and extremely unwell. It's highly unlikely the pastor had anything to do with the child's death.

  144. The person that sent you this story must think twice before doing things. he/she took the pic and saw how ill that baby looked. truth is, even if that child is rushed to the hospital, the chances of survival are thin. what were the parents doing when they saw the child with swollen abdomen, eyes popping out of the socket, pallor, to mention but a few? am sure that baby's temperature wont be less than 38 degrees centigrade.

    Even if the pastor has any hand in this, i refuse to believe it. the parents are to blame.

    Meanwhile, i dont remember when last i saw a pastor carrying a baby, when child dedication is done once monthly in my church(LFC), with at least 50 babies in attendance. c'mon.

  145. This could happen to anyone but it is never an easy pain to swallow. It is also very important we think very deep before we begin to make comments of any kind. Life is very much more that what we see in the physical which makes it very very important for us to consult our inner being before saying things especially when we don't have established facts about certain issues. Do not judge a man of God because the risk and danger you face might even be greater than your imagination because God commanded we should not judge so we also be not judged.Yes it is not easy to operate by these rules but my dear beloved can you create a roach? Obviously it is impossible so why be careless with words when you already know the dangers ahead. God has a reason for anything that happens to us in life meaning we must be very careful before we destroy ourselves and look for who to blame. A word is enough for the wise. General maximus.

  147. I know the church in question including the Man of GOD,Remember that GOD said in the bible touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm I will advice people be careful on what you said concerning this issue as you weren't there to witness what happened. The parent of d so called parents of the baby have been a member of the church for over 4 years..when she gave birth on the 10th of December last year she hid the baby from the public view even from the church members, we were speculating and we later found out the baby has no ears and has a stunted growth..imagine a 6months old baby looking like a day old

    The parent should be asked what really happened to the baby cos the cause of the baby deformity was as a result of some drugs the mother took during the conception of the baby which affected its viatl organs and caused the deformity of no ears and stunted growth and even labored breathing..The baby's autopsy should be done to determine the cause of the death..so stop speculating or having unreasonable ideas without hearing from both sides.The parents should go get a life and stop castigating a true servant of God...And you people should use your head before commenting before the wrath of God falls on you for judging foolishly without hearing from both side.

  150. I just wonder WHY do people always look for someone to accuse?? In the world, we can explain it: it is the mind of the world, and they don't KNOW God Almighty, nor do they have their thoughts in Him nor did they dedicate their lives to Him... Now did you say this happened in a church? Surrounded with CHRISTIANS? Believing in the Living God of the Bible-66books? And there was not one believer there to comfort the bereaved parents? To make peace with the not too sensitive and maybe tired and self-preoccupied or over-requested Pastor? CHRISTIANS having just prayed to God for hours right then before? I just wonder…
