Heavenly Withdrawals: Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin Markets New “Spiritual ATM Card” to Followers [VIDEO]

 

Controversy is swirling in the Nigerian religious space as Prophet Jeremiah Omoto-Fufeyin, the founder of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, unveils a new spiritual device he's calling the "Spiritual ATM Card." Marketed as a divinely inspired tool for unlocking financial breakthroughs, the card is being sold to congregants with promises of supernatural wealth transfer, divine intervention in poverty, and access to “heavenly accounts.”

The announcement of the spiritual card came during a recent church service that was streamed online and widely circulated on social media. During the service, Prophet Omoto-Fufeyin stood before his congregation, clad in his signature all-white prophetic regalia, brandishing what looked like a golden credit card. Cheers erupted from the audience as he declared that God had instructed him to distribute the cards as keys to “financial gates previously closed.”

Followers were told that the card was not an ordinary object but a conduit for divine blessings. “This is not Visa or Mastercard,” Omoto-Fufeyin said to thunderous applause, “This is Heaven’s card! When you tap it in faith, spiritual bank doors will open.”

Despite its growing popularity among the prophet’s ardent followers, critics, religious scholars, and social commentators are sounding alarm bells. For many, the move is yet another example of the commercialization of spirituality, where desperation meets exploitation. “It’s a dangerous blend of faith and fantasy,” said Dr. Ngozi Abakaliki, a theologian and lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt. “The implication is that financial freedom can be purchased through a card rather than achieved through labor, wisdom, and social reform. This is a theological travesty.”

Rather than being given freely as one might expect with spiritual gifts, the ATM cards are reportedly being sold at varying prices—depending on the type of “package” a believer desires. Sources within the ministry claim the cards start at ₦10,000, with more "powerful" versions going as high as ₦100,000. The packages include prayers, personalized prophetic decrees, and financial anointing sessions.

For believers like Sister Rachel Udeh, the card is already working miracles. “Since I used the card and followed the prophet’s instructions, money has been coming from unexpected sources. I got a business deal I had been chasing for months,” she testified during the same service. Stories like hers are being circulated in church groups and on Facebook pages linked to the ministry, giving the impression of widespread divine validation.

The use of unconventional religious items is not new in Nigeria’s ever-evolving Pentecostal landscape. From miracle handkerchiefs to prophetic oils and even “anointed” face masks during the pandemic, charismatic pastors have long relied on physical tokens to symbolize spiritual processes. However, the introduction of something as commercially resonant as an ATM card pushes the boundaries even further.

Legal experts are now beginning to weigh in. Barrister Felix Ogundele, a Lagos-based human rights lawyer, has expressed concerns about possible fraudulent implications. “There is a thin line between religious freedom and financial exploitation. If followers are being misled into thinking a plastic card can create real financial value without any legitimate economic activity, we may be looking at a form of spiritual scam.”

Interestingly, the prophet’s media team has not issued any formal press statement but has been actively promoting the card on Instagram and TikTok, using hashtags like #HeavenlyCash, #DivineWithdrawals, and #PropheticBanking. Promotional videos show believers waving their cards in the air while dancing to worship music, followed by testimonies of mysterious bank alerts and contract approvals.

While the Central Bank of Nigeria has not commented on the matter, financial experts worry that the trend could distort people’s understanding of money, savings, and wealth-building. “We already have a significant financial literacy gap in the country,” noted financial analyst Tolulope Idowu. “Introducing spiritualized financial instruments could worsen dependency and reduce people’s drive to engage with real economic systems.”

Meanwhile, Prophet Omoto-Fufeyin remains unfazed by the criticism. “They mocked Noah until the rain came,” he declared during a Sunday message. “Those who mock this divine innovation today will come looking for it tomorrow.”

Whether this latest invention represents a new chapter in faith-based financial empowerment or simply another layer in the long history of prosperity gospel theatrics remains to be seen. For now, believers continue to queue up—faith and cash in hand—hoping their next withdrawal comes not from an earthly bank, but the vaults of heaven.
