Reinhard Bonnke – 3yr old Boy Raised from the Dead
Reinhard Bonnke Twitter comment: Our Sapele Crusade has just ended. On the last night a 3 year old boy was raised from the dead. We serve a mighty God. 12:21 AM, Dec 16th 2009. — http://twitter.com/ReinhardBonnke/status/6709750192
Ah don’t you just love it when these things happen in Africa. I especially love it because it’s completely unverifiable. This is not the first time Reinhard Bonnke had a ‘raised from the dead’ in Africa. But let’s first look at this story: [DTW comments in green below]
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda: 3-Year-Old Boy Raised From the Dead!
“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ” ~ Jesus Christ (Jn 11:25)
People have been asking for more details about the 3-year-old boy that was raised from the dead last week in Sapele, Nigeria. It is a truly extraordinary story and worth some elaboration.
Last Saturday night (December 12) a woman came to the meeting with a 3-year-old son that was very ill. During the service she said that he actually passed away. I was still on the platform ministering when she brought him behind the platform. She was holding his lifeless body and weeping when the ushers found her. They confirmed that he was indeed dead and told her that all the crying in the world wouldn’t bring him back to life. [That’s a nice thing to say to a mother who has just lost her child] They said, “Take him to the medical tent.” “No,” she told them, “I want to bring him to the man of God.” Security allowed her to wait there until the service was over. [Got to wait till the service is over, can’t disrupt the schedule for a 3 year old boy who died during your service.]
As I was walking down off the platform, surrounded by ushers, there were people all around wanting prayer as usual. But this woman, holding a child caught my eye.[Surely someone would have by now told you about the dead 3 year old? ] I stepped to the side and said, “What’s wrong with him?” [How odd that you spotted this child, but had to ask ‘what’s wrong with him?’ Surely you could see the child was dead? or did he just look limp, like maybe he was not dead.] They told me in broken pigeon English, “The child is not well.” [Why would they tell you the child is not well, when the ushers that were there previously confirmed the child was dead, surely one of the ushers would have stayed by this woman?] They dropped his limp body in my arms, and I prayed for about thirty seconds before handing him back to the mother. [And after holding the child in your arms you still did not notice the child was supposed to be dead?]
Before service started on the following night (Sunday), John Darku, our African crusade director told me that there was a woman there with an incredible testimony. Rev. Peter Vandenburg and I went down to speak with her. I was amazed to find that it was the woman from the night before. She had brought her son, and he was perfectly well. They told us that the child had come back to life almost immediately after prayer. OK here we go, if he came to life almost immediately after prayer why did no one notice? Why did she not immediately turn around and tell someone? Why was there such a lack of compassion from the pastor that he just left immediately after giving the ‘limp’ or dead baby back to his mother?]
My message that night was from Romans 8:2, but before I preached it I brought this woman and her son onto the platform along with a witness to give the testimony. The crowd of more than 200,000 people exploded with rejoicing when they heard about the miracle. It was Romans 8:2 in action – “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath made me free from the law of sin and of death.”
[Yes and I am sure you raked in tons of cash after that one. This entire story is nothing but a bunch of lies. I am sure there was a woman with a very ill child, but he did not die and certainly was not raised from the dead.
In Africa, you can pay anyone to do anything for you, even for the smallest amount of money as people in Africa are very poor. It is a known fact that people are paid at these crusades, to act ill to be miraculously healed, or fake dying to be miraculously raised from the dead]

Andrew van Staden,
Wat het jou elle lange kommentaar te make met jou onbyblese geloof in een God maar drie manifestasies – Vader, Seun en Heilige Gees?
Geagte Thomas, ek is bly dat jy erken dat julle in dieselfde, soos jy dit noem, “hipostatiese konsep van die drie-eenheid glo, en jy voeg by, soos die Roomse kerk; baie dankie vir jou erkening. Daar is egter nog net twee vrae wat ek wil vra, behalwe van die meer as honderd wat jy nie kan antwoord nie.
.1 Het Jesus die waarheid gepraat in Joh. 17:3 En dit is die ewige lewe dat hulle U ken, die enige waaragtige God, en Jesus Christus wat U gestuur het!
met die klem op “enige waaragtige God” Ek soek net n JA of NEE!!
Jy beskuldig Paulus vals, deur te sê dat hy die doop nie as deel van die Evangelie beskou het nie. Eintlik mors ons mense wat jou aanvat ons tyd.Jy sal net mooi nooit erken dat jy verkeerd is nie
Terloops Thomas, Jou Naamgenoot, dit is nou Ongelowige Thomas,Sê in Joh. 20:28,
En Thomas antwoord en sê vir Hom: My Here en my God!
vers 29, Jesus sê vir hom: Omdat jy My gesien het, Thomas, het jy geglo, salig is die wat nie gesien het nie, en tog geglo het.
Mooi loop.
Andrew van Staden
JY is lief om verse aan te haal sonder fat jy hoegenaamd verstaan wat dit beteken.
Andrew van Staden,
Johannes 17:3 sê presies wat jy nie glo nie. Die enige waaragtige God is God die Vader en die een wat Hy gestuur het, is sy Seun Jesus Christus, ook die enige waaragtige God wat een is met die Vader. Of het Jesus Homself gestuur of was dit ‘n manifestasie van die Vader wat die Seun gestuur het? Wie sê jy is nie die een wat verkeerd is nie? As Paulus die doop met water of in water as deel van die Evangelie beskou het, sou hy elkeen wat hy na die Here gelei het, gedoop het.
Wat Johannes 17:3 betref, dit was ‘n manifestasie van die enige onsigbare God, Mat. 1:23 Kyk, die maagd sal swanger word en ‘n seun baar, en hulle sal Hom Emmánuel noem,dit is, as dit vertaal word: God met ons. 1Tim. 3:16, And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
I like what this Trinatarian J.B.Phillips M.A. says, please read it.
“If we believe with our adult minds that we live on a planet visited by God Himself in human form, the record of His life and teaching and that of the movement which He began are of supreme importance to the entire human race. Anything which makes the significance and relevance of the Personal Visit clearer is to be welcomed with open arms.
Jes. 35:5 vervulling Mat.11:5, Jes.40:9-11 vervulling Joh.10:11
Die verse wat ek aanhaal spreuk van self!
Mooi loop.
Geagte Thomas
Terloops, Paulus het ook die dissipels in Hand.19 gedoop. Paulus het nooit gesê, soos jy beweer, dat die doop nie deel van die evangelie is nie. Hy het slegs verkies om nie self te doop nie, sodat niemand kan sê dat hy in sy eie naam doop nie. 1Kor. 1:15, Dit is wat hy bedoel het, jy sien ek laat die skrif praat, eie uitleg is nie nodig nie, ons moet maar net eerlik wees.
Mooi loop
Andrew van Staaden,
Hoe lees jy jou Bybel? Paulus het nie self gekies om nie te doop nie. Hy sê self Christus het hom nie gestuur om te doop nie maar om die Evangelie te verkondig.
Wat beteken “Ek EN die Vader is een?” Die woord “EN” sê tog baie duidelik dat Jesus nie ‘n manifestasie van die Vader is nie, maar dat Hy ‘n Persoon op sy eie is. Miskien moet jy weer ‘n slag Afrikaans gaan leer voordat jy sulke onsamenhangende kommentare skryf. Dis maklik, man. Die woord “en” dui op twee persone. Of glo jy ook dat wanneer jy sê: “Ek EN my vrou is getroud” dat jy maar net ‘n manifestasie van haar is?” Ek is bereid om jou te debateeer maar dan moet jy ten minste vorder na graad2 en nie in graad1 bly vassit nie.
Lazurus was raised from the dead and later died and was buried.
God himself Jesus Christ was raised from the dead
And since then has NEVER died again.
DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE???
Jesus Christ only raised Lazurus from the dead to show that Jesus
Would rise from the dead.
JESUS CHRIST did Miracles because JESUS IS GOD
ALL the promised Miracles in Mark 16 were “Signs of an Apostle”
To confirm the “Word” which the Apostles preached
And this Word was the “Sign of Jonah” that Jesus rose from the dead.
It was a extremly great EXCEPTION that God himself Jesus Christ
Allowed the Apostles who were ONLY MEN and NOT “God”
To do Miracles like Jesus did.
The ONLY reason Jesus allowed the Apostles to do Miracles
Was because they must be Witnesses of the Resurrection
And confirm on behalf of Jesus in his absence the Fact
That Jesus rose from the dead
Because Jesus was not allowed to show openly his resurrection to the World,
(Acts 10:41) that is the ONLY reason God allowed Apostles to do Miracles.
He that truly has BELIEVED that Jesus rose from the dead
Knows all his Sins are washed away
And knows jesus is God.
And does not desire to see lesser Miracles such as healing
Or a temporary return from the dead such as Lazurus.
Lazurus only had his earthly life made a few years longer
And died again and was buried
But Jesus Christ rose from the DEAD NEVER to die again
Pentecostals are PROOF they are still in their Sins and UNBELIEF
If i really truly believe Jesus rose from the dead
Then i would NEVER think of praying to jesus for a Miracle.
Jesus Christ said it is EVIL and it is UNBELIEF
To tempt God by asking jesus to do a Miracle.
I promise you Bonnke and co have NEVER raisedcsomeone from the “dead”
Or done a real Miracle at all€
He who claims to do Miracles “like Jesus” is a anti-christ
Who is claiming to be God.
The Apostles were CHOSEN and SENT by God himself Jesus Christ
For the sole purpose of confirming as true Eye witnesses
The Fact that Jesus rose from the dead.
He who prays to Jesus for a Miracle has denied that Jesus rose from the dead.
Because if i really BELIEVE jesus is RISEN
I would not seek Miracles.
Bonnke is a False Apostle of satan
Who does Lying wonders where he speaks a LIE
And people believe his proud foolish Lies.
ONLY JESUS CHRIST IS GOD WHO CAN DO MIRACLES
He who does NOT believe Jesus rose from the dead
Has DENIED that Jesus is God and this is UNFORGIVABLE
God wants us to BELIEVE Jesus rose from the dead
WITHOUT seeing proof
As jesus said to thomas “Blessed are those who have NOT seen and
Have BELIEVED
Only small chidren can talk, talk and talk what they don’t know. Who said Reinhard Bonnke did not raise the dead? When Daniel Ekwuchukwu came back from the dead afre spending 3 day in the motuary how can that be something “unverified”? I myself watched the video and there too many confirmations by different medical doctors who pronouced him dead, his wife and so many people from his village. If you are looking for something to critisize about Daniel Kolenda, Reihard Bonnke and others…you are wasting your time. I know you wish if you were able to stop them… For your information, top witches and wizards tried to stop them without success, so your emoty words cannot stop God’s work in them. Even God is critisized every day! God almighty is raising more of Bonnkes and Kolenda; I am one of them!! Even satan and his entire hell know that they are UNSTOPPABLE !!

I say Reinhard Bonnke did not raise the dead because only God can raise the dead. Is Bonnke GOD? And why would GOD want to raise anyone now when He has already proven that his Son, Jesus Christ is God when He raised Lazarus from the dead? Moreover why would God want to raise his saints these days when He says that the death of his saints is precious in his sight? (Psa 116:15)
Kwekwekwekwe! Only small children can talk, talk and talk with so much ignorance. Who says Reinhard Bonnke did not raise the dead?

ONLY Jesus Christ is GOD
The “greater work” was the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
And all the promised Signs in Mark 16
Were “Signs of an apostle” 2 Cor 12:12
It was a extremly great Exception that God allowed the apostles
To do great miracles
And the ONLY reason for this exception was to confirm that jesus rose from the dead
The apostles were only allowed to do miracles
Because Jesus himself could not show his resurrection openly to the world
That is why he chose Apostles (Acts 10:41)
He who does not believe the Apostles testimony
That Jesus rose fro¤ the dead
Has denied that Jesus is God
And this sin cannot be forgiven.
He who does not believe jesus is risen has damned himself.
ONLY Jesus is GOD who is capable and worthy of doing Miracles
The Apostles miracles were a one time Exception
And proof that they were sent by God himself Jesus Christ
God will never do Miracles again
Because he wantzs you to BELIEVE without seeing visible Proof
He who claims to do Miracles is claiming to be “God”
And this is a “Anti-Christ” who tries to replace Jesus
furchteenur Jesus Christus
I agree with everything you have said, however the part where said “He who does not believe the Apostles testimony, That Jesus rose fro¤ the dead, Has denied that Jesus is God, And this sin cannot be forgiven.” I don’t agree with this part, if someone were to repent and believe they would be forgiven.
Crusades of this magnitude do not allow for some of the basic assumptions that you make. These men are honorable, thus perhaps you should be more mindful in your questioning of their ministry and testimony. If the boy was raised from the dead and you’ve spent some of your limited, god-given time mocking it such does not seem like a task one would want to account for before the Lord. May your respect for the truth be encouraged and your methods tempered with wisdom.

Can you prove that this boy was raised form the dead? If you can’t prove it then we can’t believe it. Why because the honorable Reinard Bonnke has lied about raising someone from the dead before: http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/bonnke2.html
