Church Politricks by Emempaul(m): 1:17am On Sep 11, 2016 |
Pastor Bayo Akinjiyan, a
former clergyman with
the Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG), has
exposed some of his
former colleagues in the
ministry.
In a video captured by
Sahara Reporters, the
minister of God said the
people surrounding Pastor
Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the
general overseer of RCCG are
the ones causing confusion
in the denomination.
Below are some parts of
the message as stated by
the former RCCG
clergyman:
The fact that up till now,
there has been no official
statement by the RCCG in
reaction to the issue raised
in the media in the first
place, to me, is an admission
to all the facts placed before
the public by the church.
They knew what evil they
did to me, but God turned it
for my good. The only
response to this came
through a phone call exactly
after five days after the
first press conference from
the assistant general
overseer, AGO, admin and
personnel, Pastor JF Odesola,
requesting for a meeting
with me at my convenient
time and place on behalf of
Pastor EA Adeboye, the
general overseer of the
church whom he said was
travelling out on ministerial
assignment.
As a mark of courtesy for
the office of the caller and
the person who sent him to
me, I agreed to meet him the
following day at his house
in the Redemption Camp.
I spoke with my lawyer
who agreed with the
arrangement with the mind
that any legal issue arising
from the meeting will be
referred to him. Pastor
Odesola who appeared more
political than I used to know
of him, was very warm to
us and promised to
communicate this to the GO.
The legal department of the
church headed by one Titi
Adegbile, together with
Pastor Odesola, turned the
episode into a melodrama
such as posting fallacious
internal communcations
between them on the social
media for reasons best
known to them.
My lawyer also received a
cheque on the house
according to the church, as
ex-gracia payment ‘for the
sake of the kingdom’
representing less than 15%
of the property.
With the church having
accepted the reality on
ground, and acceding to our
demands, the issues,
hopefully, have been laid to
rest.
My counsel to RCCG
Why bothering yourself
giving counsel, having left
the church and having got
your consultancy fees paid?
Let them run the church the
way they feel, you might
say. No, it’s not about me or
the consultancy fee
requested. But about a
divine prophetic mandate
given to me by God to the
body of Christ and nations
of the world.
I could just have kept quiet
at this time or allow the
matter die naturally, but God
won’t be happy with me. He
said to me, ‘Son of man,
draw their attention to the
present state. If they repent,
I will spare them and if they
don’t, their sins will be upon
them. ‘Why not seek the
GO’s attention and suggest
this privately to him?’
I’ve written over ten letters
without any evidence that
he got them, as they were
not acknowledged. From the
event of the past few
weeks, it has been proven
that the only legitimate way
to get Pastor Adeboye’s
attention is through the
media.
It has been proven that you
can’t see him, even on his
request unless those who
surround him make it
possible. A top official of
the church advised me to be
bringing my tithes to the
GO, attend their meetings
and then it will be easy for
me to meet with him.

Me thinks that I have had
enough of that for 23 years.
I desire to see more of Jesus
now more than ever before.
This is why I am making the
following suggestions open.
I make them known with
the best intentions and also
as directed by God to warn
the church to sit up. It is not
for any personal vain Glory.
Number one
Structural review to enable
communications to enable
communications to and
from the leadership of RCCG
to get to the desired
destinations. There are so
many Pastor Bayo
Akinjiyans we think they are
Christians, who have
forsook not the suffering in
silence with no courage to
cry out for justice.
I will also like to suggest,
that the phone numbers of
the GO’s secretaries and that
of his personal assistants
should be in public domain.
Please sir, allow your people
to get to you. Many of them
are being oppressed on a
daily basis. And their cries
have reached the high
heavens.
Number two
Many of the RCCG senior
pastors both at home and
abroad are nice, refined and
godly. Some have become
‘larger than life’ pastors
who have graduated to
become provincial
principalities and regional
terrorists. They seek over
mega churches, and have
access to questioning
words. I am sure he knows
them.

using your house if you
leave the church |
