The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has lamented the precarious situation facing the Christian world, especially in Nigeria.
Primate Ayodele stated this in a statement by his Media Office on Wednesday.
According to the world renowned prophet, some Christian leaders like the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye; Founder of the Living Faith Bible Church, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo; Founder of the Household Of God International Ministry, Rev. Chris Okotie; Christian bodies such as the Christian Association of Nigeria and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria are threat to the unity of Christianity.
The man of God referred to the death of the Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, adding that several Christian leaders have found it difficult to send condolence messages to his family members despite the fact that he was a Christian before he died.
He explained that many of them have publicly accused him of being a wizard and that he isn’t a true Christian despite the fact that they claim to have gone to bible schools to learn deep things about what the word of God says.
Primate Ayodele noted that the love and unity in Christianity have been destroyed by top men of God with the spirit of envy and hatred.
He said: “Christians are the problem of the church.
“Everyone will die one day, but it’s unfortunate that a Christian brother died and the so called big pastors can’t say a word of condolence.
“Is that how good leaders act?
“What they have done is wrong.
“What does it take CAN, PFN to come out when the death happened to pay condolences?
“The likes of Chris Okotie went ahead to call TB Joshua a wizard.
“Some called him devil while he was alive.
“Was it God that revealed to them that he is working for the devil?
“Why not bring an evidence?
“God is going to condemn lot of pastors.
“Christians are the problems of Nigeria.
“They don’t have love.
“They have different doctrines, and some preaching are not even biblical.
“When the beloved son of Pastor Adeboye died, TB Joshua sent condolences and ordered a one minute moment of silence to honour the deceased, but now that he is dead, what have they done?
“These are part of hooliganism in Christianity.
“It’s quite unfortunate.
“I’m highly disappointed in Pastor Adeboye who is seen as a prominent Christian leader for keeping silent on this.
“Every one of us will die someday.
“This is not the time for hatred.
“There is so much hatred in Christianity and that is why I will never join CAN, PFN or any Christian association.
“hey are associations of envy and hatred.
“They claim that they went to bible school.
“Is that what the bible taught them?
“If at all TB Joshua offended anyone, why can’t they forgive him?
“They should all change.
“They are getting older.
“CAN, PFN are just associations for the government and for personal gains.
“These associations are not biblical.
“I have no apology.
“I don’t want anyone to like me.
“I am saying this the way I feel.
“This is a time when we need love and unity in Christianity, but those that are the supposed leaders have killed the spirit of love in Christianity.
“The administrators of these associations are selfish, greedy and totally self-centered.
“We need to support one another.
“Let the bigger pastors help the lesser ones to grow.
“That’s what we need in Christianity.
“Not all these associations causing division.”
