Co-founder of Satanic Church Resigns, Accepts Christ

Riaan Swiegelaar, co-founder of the South African Satanic Church (SASC), has resigned from his post as presiding priest of the controversial church on 30 May 2022. He also resigned from the church council, as well as dissolved his membership with the organization.
In a live video broadcast on Facebook, Swiegelaar said, “To be very honest, I initially thought I’d quietly slip out the backdoor and I didn’t think people would be so interested in why I do what I do.” “
He said he engaged in Satanism because it resonated with him at the time, and because he was “very sad and very broken, without realising it”. “I think a lot of people resonate at Satanism when they come from a very broken place.” “
“I have met thousands of Satanists over the past year and they are extremely hurt and broken—that’s the one thing they all have in common,” Swiegelaar added.
He burst into tears and added, “To this day, there have only been four Christians in my entire life who have shown me what unconditional love is. “
Adele Frey, one of the people who supported him, messaged him, saying she just did a simple thing by showing him love. “People, showing love for others is everything. You showed me the love of Christ, I saw it in you”.
He adds that Frey showed him unconditional love at a time when he was an “ugly monster”, and when he adopted Christians who do that. “You showed me unconditional love. “
In mid-May, Swiegelaar conducted his last interview as a member of the SASC on the CapeTalk radio station, not knowing it would be his last radio interview as an oldie.
Swigelaar said in the interview that he does not believe that Jesus Christ exists. A lady from the radio team walked up to him after the interview and hugged him in a way he had never been hugged before.
A week later, he saw on WhatsApp that the woman is a Christian. “I never had a Christian do that. I have never experienced a Christian show so much love towards a self knowing satanist. “
“And it stayed with me, though. “
A week later, when Swiegelaar had to perform a ritual to see “what the next phase is to gain more influence and power”, he did the ritual and during the ritual Jesus appeared before him.
He said, “If you are Jesus, you have to prove it. “Dizzy says he is overflowing with the most beautiful love and energy. “And I recognized it right away, like the woman at the radio station pointed it out to me. “
“This is how I recognized the love of Christ. “
Dizzy expands more about his experience in the live Facebook video that’s over 30 minutes long.
Impostor said he would not answer queries from the media, and that the video is his testimony.
A press release by the SASC, whose member number according to Swiegelaar is growing by the day, reads: “We, as the SASC Council, want to thank Swiegalaar for his contribution, both as the pastor and the co-founder of the SA Satanic Church. We wish him success in all his future endeavors. “

How Christians can stay connected to their faith during this Lenten period
It’s that time of year again, when Christians come together in fasting and prayer. Whether observing the traditional Lent or entering a focused period of reflection, it’s a chance to connect more deeply with God, and for many, this season even sets the tone for the year ahead.
Of course, staying focused isn’t always easy. Life has a way of throwing distractions your way, a nosy neighbour, a bus driver who refuses to give you your change, or that colleague testing your patience. Keeping your peace takes intention, and turning off the noise and staying on course requires an act of devotion.
Fasting is meant to create a quiet space in your life, but if that space isn’t filled with something meaningful, old habits can creep back in. Sustaining that focus requires reinforcement beyond physical gatherings, and one way to do so is to tune in to faith-based programming to remain spiritually aligned throughout the period and beyond.
On GOtv, Christian channels such as Dove TV channel 113, Faith TV and Trace Gospel provide sermons, worship experiences and teachings that echo what is being practised in churches across the country.
From intentional conversations on Faith TV on GOtv channel 110 to true worship on Trace Gospel on channel 47, these channels provide nurturing content rooted in biblical teaching, worship, and life application. Viewers are met with inspiring sermons, reflections on scripture, and worship sessions that help form a rhythm of devotion. During fasting periods, this kind of consistent spiritual input becomes a source of encouragement, helping believers stay anchored in prayer and mindful of God’s presence throughout their daily routines.
To catch all these channels and more, simply subscribe, upgrade, or reconnect by downloading the MyGOtv App or dialling *288#. You can also stream anytime with the GOtv Stream App.
Plus, with the We Got You offer, available until 28th February 2026, subscribers automatically upgrade to the next package at no extra cost, giving you access to more channels this season.

Church Succession Isn’t Automatic, Says Pastor at 11th CASON Confab
Pastor Seyi Oladimeji, Dr. Kunle Hamilton and Pastor Nkechi Ene
Senior Pastor of The Carpenter’s House, Port Harcourt, Mrs. Nkechi Ene has said that when it comes to picking the successor of a church founder or head pastor, it is not a filial matter. “A son is not automatically spiritual or called by God to lead a church, simply because his father is the founder or head pastor” she emphasized.She was speaking at the 11th annual conference of the Church Administrators Society of Nigeria (CASON) held at Pistis Hub, Maryland, Lagos which addressed challenges that churches face in terms of governance and succession planning, in a spirited effort to get church leaders ready to comply with the agitation of government for legal and moral accountability, otherwise risk the penalties of non-compliance.According to Ene, “There are at least five parameters that must be considered when choosing a successor.

CASON 2: Seyi Oladimeji, Nkechi Ene; Funke Amobi; STV Adegbite, Hakeem Ogunniran; and Steve Akoni
One, the call of God should take pre-eminence over the expectation of the congregation. It should also take pre-eminence over family and filial relationship, over seniority in church or family hierarchy, over individual skills – for the Lord still confounds the wise with simple things and people. Number five, the call of God should take pre-eminence over gender. We all must understand that it is not a luxury to be called of Go
