Why I Won't Seek Vengeance Against Killers Of Abuja Preacher- Adeboye by Rexceedo: 2:34pm On Jul 29, 2016
WHY I WON’T SEEK VENGEANCE AGAINST KILLERS OF ABUJA PREACHER -ADEBOYE


General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has revealed why he will not seek vengeance against killers of Abuja preacher, Deaconess Eunice Olawale Elisha.

Forty-two-year old Mrs Elisha was hacked to death by hoodlums on June 9 at Gbazango-West area of Kubwa, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory while preaching early in the morning.

She was an assistant pastor at the RCCG, Divine Touch parish, Old NEPA road, Phase 4, Kubwa, before she was slashed in the neck and stabbed in the stomach by suspected religious fanatics.

Adeboye, fondly called Daddy G.O by his admirers, said contrary to calls by eminent Nigerians that he should seek vengeance against killers of the evangelist, he would not do so.

He said such move would be counterproductive just as it would be contrary to what the deceased wanted and stood for when she was martyred.

According to the revered man of God, if Dcns Elisha was actually preaching to win souls for Jesus Christ, it would be unscriptural and anti-Christ to seek to kill the same souls she sought to save.

Adeboye made the declaration on the occasion of the second day of the ongoing Ministers Conference at the Redemption Camp, Kilometer 46, Lagos – Ibadan Expressway on Friday morning ahead the 64 annual convention starting August 1.

“I’m not looking for vengeance. I won’t listen to people asking me to seek vengeance.

“I won’t pursue the case. That’ll be contrary to what she wanted.

“She wanted them saved, not killed.

“What will their killing do for me?,” the 74-year-old cleric queried.

Teaching on the topic, “Importance of Mercy,” Adeboye said since every Christian did not know when they would die, the time to truly seek God was now.

Making an example out of the slain Mrs Elisha whom he said was not aware she won’t return home alive on that fateful day, the Ifewara-born cleric warned that the end of the age was imminent, hence the prevalence of vices all over the world.

He said the murdered evangelist finished well and was, no doubt, sitting at the right hand of her Saviour for whom she paid the supreme price.

“Recently, some hoodlums went to murder my daughter in Abuja.

“She was doing her morning cry that morning as she usually did, armed with a megaphone and her Bible.

“An Imam was said to have sent some hoodlums to drive her away, but they did something else.

“She didn’t know she won’t return home that day.

“She finished well. She finished strong

“What a beautiful way to go. She’s gone to be with the Lord,” he stated glowingly.

The man of God said that his joy was predicated on the fact that another soul was waiting for him in Heaven.

“My joy is that she finished well and I have additional soul waiting to welcome me in Heaven when it is my time,” Adeboye noted.

It will be recalled that husband of the slain evangelist, Pastor Elisha had, earlier, expressed misgivings in killing whoever was caught in connection with the murder, saying he would rather they gave their lives to Jesus Christ.

Describing his wife as a martyr, he said: “I see her as a martyr, and she died for Christ. And whether the people are caught or not, they should forgive them; my prayer is that if they can accept Christ, that will be a gain to Christ.”

The slain lady evangelist, who left behind his husband, aged father, mother and seven children, was buried last Saturday in Abuja.

That's why we are called "Christian(Christ-Like)".
Even on the Cross, Jesus Christ asked his Father to Pardon those who crucified him.
Just like St Stephen she died a Martyr.
May Her Soul Rest In Perfect Peace- Amen!
Nice move Daddy G.O!

Sir, nobody is asking anyone to seek vengeance, all that is being asked is that such acts should be vehemently condemned publicly. Your silence sir, as well as that of other great MOGs in this country reeks of either cowardice or hypocrisy or both.



Not condemning the acts at all makes these evil doers to see us as not valuing ourselves and such gives them the audacity to continue.

And where exactly did you see fighting for God in this my post.

Is condemning an evil act equals to fighting for God.


You lots just like twisting people's words to suit your hypocrisy.

And unfortunately, that's what the so called MOGs have turned to.
Very very disturbing for those who know what true discipleship is.

Very sad indeed, and Pst Adeboye has chosen that path of Christ.

Many questions however abound.

Why should someone use megaphone for morning cry? As a Christian if you do that in front of my house at 5 am or 6 am it is either I get out of the house and drive you away or charge you to court for disturbing my sleep. If I am interested in listening to your preaching I will come to your church.

What is wrong is wrong. It is wrong to disturb people in the name of religion. This as much affects the moslems who use loud speakers for morning prayers.

People should be decent and respect others' right to peaceful sleep.

Really tragic the way she was murdered but going about preaching with a megaphone in twilight in a Muslim dominated neighbourhood was just stirring for trouble. This is what i keep saying, Nigerians can be very intolerant. Stop trying to foist your beliefs down other people's throats. Believe whatever you want but don't make others feel less human for seeing things differently. Muslims are especially guilty of this.
I remember ways back in my former hood, a so called evangelist would start yelling into a megaphone by 4 o clock in the morning. Threatening every unbeliever with an eternity in hell fire. This routine was everyday! Not like a few times in the week. As if that wasn't enough, 5 o clock the Muslims would begin their call for prayers from a near by mosque. Oh dear! And to think i had to be at work in a few hours. Never slept properly, went to work with eyes bloodshot and still feeling groggy. Sometimes i just felt like going out there and shutting him up with a good left jab and reinforce my feelings with a right upper hook. But i restrained myself. Unbeknownst to me, some other people felt the same way. And one fateful morning a few people got out and asked him to leave and never come back or he may not like his next visit to the area. Of course he went on about being persecuted, how everyone on the street would be grilled in hell for all eternity and so on and so forth.
Nobody deserves to be lynched and murdered in such a grotesque and gruesome manner. A bit of tolerance is required here. My thoughts are with her family.
