Yesterday, founder and Senior Pastor of the House on the Rock churches, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, slammed men of God who have shown public support for certain candidates ahead of the 2015 elections.
“I don’t belong to APC and PDP. I don’t belong to any political party. I belong to Jesus party. I am interested in God’s agenda in Nigeria,” he said.
Now another cleric, has said something similar but choosing to call out names.
“Oyedepo, Oritsejafor and Adeboye have disappointed God. They see the truth but they are not saying it. I will be frank. These frontline pastors; Adeboye, Oyedepo, name them, PFN, CAN have they not disappointed the Nigerian masses now? Jonathan goes to Adeboye, what’s the other man’s name? Politicians have corrupted all church leaders. They are not saying the truth. Adeboye, Oyedepo and other big pastors are not saying the truth. We know that the economy is bad, things are not going right but they should have the courage to face them. For the first time let us be bold enough to tell them ‘What you are doing is bad’. Tell them, “change from bad to good”.
“They say Lagos is moving. What is moving in Lagos? Lagos is just there. Nothing is moving in Lagos. Both APC and PDP have destroyed this country. Pastors who are to talk are part of the corrupt system. Bishops, Primates, Prophets. Everybody is going to answer before God. I am not here to judge any Pastor but I am standing on the altar of truth,” he said.
So unfortunate that Past. Adefarasin has this type of opinion, . .. if all pastors and men of God distance themselves from governance or politics then thieves and wicked people will become our leaders, right.
How then will we have peace ?
