A writer once explained
that the church has become canal, while worldly things has gradually crept into
the church, this much can be said about the attitude and ways of many of the
pastors of the church with one of the largest congregation in the world, the
Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). Despite the fact that the church is
under the leadership of one of the most respected man of God in Africa and the
world, the church image all-over the world is on the recline due to the many
attributes of the pastors under the commission which can be likened to that of
the devil.
Investigation
reveals that the pastors under the RCCG, seems hell bent in slushing the image
of the church worldwide not minding the effort few in the church are putting
into remolding the battered image of the church or how else could the many
indiscipline acts of these pastors in their different places of work and even
the church be placed. Sources reveal some pastors of the church are so reckless
with their love for money that Judas Iscariot who sold Jesus is more like a
saint in compare to them, sometimes ago Global News reported how some Pastors
of the church are fighting the contractor commissioned to work on the proposed
church development of Good Shepard Pasture, Yaba, over money.
The
issue, which sees the pastors threatening the contractor that the contract
would be revoked if he fails to comply their financial demands has seen the
construction fee being increased from about N200 million that was budgeted for
it to almost N300 million that has been spent to build the Church Development
structure to the current uncompleted state it still is at the moment, the
church is at the moment still said to be looking more than N100 million to
finally complete works on the project.
Other
atrocities perpetrated by the RCCG pastors has seen the plan of the church to
secure approval for helipad scuttled, it was reliably gathered by sources
within Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) that some pastors of the church
in their quest to make money at all cost from the church may have led them into
trouble waters with the NCAA, the story goes to say the contract to build the
church helipad was awarded to one captain who the source will not mention and
in the process of the construction he was approached as usual by some senior
pastors of the church who want a cut from the money earmark for the
construction only to be turned down by the captain who has already charged the
church below the necessary amount owing to the fact that he’s also a Christian
and will want it to be easy for the church, his refusal was said to have annoyed
the pastors who also approached the NCAA with a plan that the license to make
the helipad functional should be denied the Captain, unknown to them most of
those working in the NCAA had at one time or the other worked with or under the
now retired Captain who they all love, the issue was said to have been reported
to him which forced him to instruct those with the NCAA not to issue helipad
license to the church indefinitely.
In
the same vein another incident is that of a man who will like to help the church
put its progammes on satellite television just like other churches around, and
the guy being a Christian decided that as part of his own contribution towards
the works of God decided to do it free for one year, but rather than appreciate
such gesture the pastor in charge of the account in the church was said to have
insisted that he bill the church to the tune N50 million or else the project
the young man planned to execute free of charge for the church will not be
approved, so bad is the love of money prevalent among the pastors that they
have metamorphosed into series of devilish activities.
There
has also been several stories of pastors of RCCG committing adultery that
hardly is there a time that one pastor of the church within and outside Nigeria
is not being mentioned for falling into this sin of the flesh, some were even
so much used to it that they had children out of wedlock and sometimes leaving
their spouse for the concubine, this has also been posing a great deal of
concern for the General Overseer, Pastor Adeboye, who had several times place
curses on erring pastors of the church because of their many atrocities.
Sources
also disclosed that he’s also facing series of antagonism over his decision to
personally supervise the church new auditorium project, the project which is
going to comprise of a 1.5 million sitting auditorium, 100, 000 sitting youth
church, car parks that can accommodate 70, 000 cars, shopping arcade, food
canteens and other of such facilities will cost the church a whooping N35
billion, and this financial gratification seems to have attracted the interest
of the pastors who will do anything to corner the many supplies and money meant
for the building project.
It
was gathered that since the inception of the project which is planned to last
for just one year, these set of crooked pastors have been doing all sort of
things to disrupt works on the site, sometimes last year, some thugs were set
loose on the acquired land disrupting works under the disguise that they are
land owners whose land was sold illegally, tutored by the pastors to demand for
money knowing well that the G O cannot afford crisis that will delay works on
the project owing to the deadline, after that was sorted and the work on the
site continue, they were also alleged to have been hiding under some customs
official to frustrate the importation of the materials that will be used in the
construction with the aim of making sure the time set by Daddy GO as Pastor
Adeboye is fondly called by the people is not met.
The
way and manner some of these Pastors are going about their quest to make money
under the guise that they are working for God has always been a thing of
concern to Pastor Adeboye, who has never hide his displeasure as he curses them
on regular basis, while warning them to desist from such act as it is not
presenting the church well in the society
