The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, has warned that any individual that blasphemes Jesus
will taste the wrath of God.
Adeboye, who spoke to his congregation at the RCCG monthly
Holy Ghost Service for the month of July, which was held late Friday/early
Saturday, made the comment as he reacted to the recent attacks and killings
targeting churches and worshippers in some parts of the country.
No fewer than 40 Catholics
were killed by unknown gunmen in June at the St. Francis Catholic Church in
Owo, Ondo State.
Two weeks after the Owo attack. bandits killed three persons
during separate attacks on the Baptist Church and the St. Moses Catholic
Church, all in the Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
He also took time to respond to a comment allegedly made by
controversial On-Air Personality, Daddy Freeze, who alleged that some women
turned to Ogun (god of thunder) to rain curses on the terrorists who massacred
worshippers in Owo because “Bros J” (a nickname for Jesus which is common
amongst Nigerians) did not answer them.
Freeze had written last month, “When dem call bros J and he
nor answer dem nko? We abandoned African paganism to adopt European pagan
ideologies. Until we start telling ourselves the truth and take our security
issues more seriously this won’t end. Christ’s message is love and that’s the
first thing so glaringly missing in Nigeria.”
Reacting, Adeboye said, “I understand that one funny fellow
said that some people were calling on Ogun because Jesus didn’t answer them.
“Well, the one who said that there’s a Yoruba proverb, it
said, the mouth that the snail uses to blasphemy God, that mouth would kiss the
ground. From now on, anybody who dares blaspheme Jesus Christ, they will taste
the fire of the Almighty God.”
Speaking further, the revered clergyman stated that, “Safety
is of the Lord and nobody dies until their time comes.
“I don’t want to say much, because I know whatever I say,
some people may want to twist it. But I’ve searched the Bible from cover to
cover and there is nowhere in the Bible where God said a child of God cannot
defend himself.
“If you find the place, let me know. He said, if they slap
you on the right cheek, turn the left. If they now slap the left, what did he
say? When God is silent, do you know the meaning of that, it simply means, over
to you.
“Every enemy of the church, as long as my Father is still on
the throne, as long as Jesus lives, as long as His name is the consuming fire,
if they don’t repent, the fire of God will consume them. I’m not talking to
everybody o, I’m only talking to my children.”
