The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye, has reacted to the recent rape allegations levelled against the Founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo, and a few other men of God.
Recall that on June 28th, wife ofsinger Timi Dakolo, Busola, in an explosive interview, accused Fatoyinbo ofraping her when she was 17. He has since denied the allegation and steppedaside as senior pastor of his church following public outcry.
The Pentecostal Fellowship of
Nigeria (PFN) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) have both distanced
themselves from Fatoyinbo, saying he is not their member.
Speaking at the church's monthly
all night service which held at the Camp ground along Lagos-Ibadan expressway
yeterday July 5th, Pastor Adeboye said
We have a President in PFN as
well as in CAN. Whatever they say is what I have said. But I feel compelled to
say somethings to those of us who are young and upcoming Ministers of God.
Everything I will say is from the bible so if you wnat to criticise what I have
said, you have to criticise the bible.
Number 1, it is written, there is
hidden that shall not come to the open, Mark 4:22. It doesn't matter how long
you think you have done something and that it is covered and it will never come
to the open, then you can go and throw away your bible because the one who said
there is nothing hidden that will not come to the open is the truth himself.
Jesus Christ. Nothing hidden that will
not be made manifest.
Number 2: Sooner or later,
according to Number 32verses 23, your sin will find you out. It is sure. If you
have given your life to Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus will wash away all
your sins but after you gave your life to Jesus, you continue in sin, under the
guise of grace, as the Lord lives, your sin will find you out.
Number 3: The bible says you must
abstain from every appearance of evil, 1st Thess 5 verses 22. The elders say
what you are not going to eat, don't smell. Avoid every appearance of evil.
Avoid it.
Number 4: The bible says if the
devil comes to you face to face, it says resist the devil and he will flee from
you. 2nd Tim 2: 22, when you find yourself facing useful lust, the bible says
Flee which means run as a terror. When you see a sister smiling at you in a
funny way, run. Run! Don't say I am a great man of God and I am highly
annoited. They will say I am old fashion. I agree. That is what they called me
when I said I will never have a private secretary who is a woman. No! My
private secretary has to be a man. Listen to me my brothers, when a woman
accuses you of something, nobody is going to listen to you. Nobody! They will
listen to the woman. When you demand for a witness, the lady will reply 'do
they invite people to such things?'. When you say how can it be me, everybody
will say how come it is you that she has mentioned? of all the men?. I am old
fashioned. I was ordained in 1975. It is better to be old fashioned and live
than to be modern and die'' he said.

ReplyDeleteRestitution is allowed. If he did it ,that was a long time ago. He can confess and move on. After all, Paul in the Bible was the greatest persecutor of Christians yet he was the one spreading the Gospel
