Oyedepo, Adeboye, Others Leading Millions Astray – Seun Bisuga Writes

For the benefit of those who have been too
busy to read the Holy Bible of late, I will
open this piece with two verses. Psalm 1 verse
1 says: "Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in
the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful."

Similarly, Psalm 26 vs 4-6 says: "I have not
sat with vain persons, neither will I go with
dissemblers. I have hated the congregation
of evil doers; and will not sit with the
wicked. I will wash mine hands in innocency:

so will I compass thine altar, O Lord."One
must agree that the romance between
'supposed' men of God and politicians as the
general elections draws near have become
pretty frightening. Although this is not the
first time that this is happening but the
manner of partisanship by these men have
led to me to the conclusion that Christians
across the globe need to wake.

Straight to the point. In the Bible, Elijah
never went on pilgrimage with Ahab and
Jezebel, neither did Nathan mince words
when he delivered the message of God to
David in 2 Samuel 12 but the men of God
today have found a way to walk in the
counsel of the ungodly and stand in the way
of sinners.

Even more frightening is their actions and
inactions. Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor
E.A. Adeboye find time out of their busy
schedule to settle the dispute between
former president, Olusegun Obasanjo and
President Goodluck Jonathan as if it were of
national importance and urgency. They both
were also at Jonathan's niece's wedding when
many of their branches and parishes would
have been happy if they had used that time
to visit them.

Hundreds of members of their churches die
in the Northeast of Nigeria but they will not
call a meeting with Obasanjo and Jonathan
to discuss how this will come to an end.
They will say nothing of the corruption that
is ravaging this country or of the leaders
who are destroying generations unborn. Some
say the action of these pastors are not
endorsement of politicians, then what are
they? In 95 per cent of cases, 'action speak
louder than words' and their action is enough
to show their allegiance.

In the Bible, men of God were reputed for
stating the mind of God. Elijah said there
will be no rain for 'these years' and there was
no rain. When he called the Prophet of Baal
to a contest, he proved that God answers by
fire and after slaughtering the prophet of
Baal, Jezebel called for his head. Similarly,
Moses told Pharaoh God will plague Egypt if
he did not let the Israelites go and God did
that and even more.

Perhaps our sugar-coated pastors of
nowadays do not hear from God like in the
past or perhaps God's message and word has
changed.

Today, prosperity-laden messages are
paramount on their lips and also visible in
their books. With these, they have managed
to lead many astray. Humanity means little
or nothing to them. They'll rather fly private
jets and ride the best cars claiming that
their God is rich. Their schools are the most
expensive and the ideology of 'missionary'
counts little to them.

If Jesus is the God they claim to serve he
never rode a convoy of donkeys or colts,
even when he made the 'Triumphant Entry'
into Jerusalem he only used an ass and a
colt.

Don't get me wrong, everyone has the
freedom of association but they need not do
it in the name of God and also desecrate his
altar by inviting these violent, evil-doing,
blood-sucking politicians to speak on it. The
Bible is clear on the relationship of light and
darkness as well as God and mammoth.

Some members say these pastors discuss
these things in private but if prophets of old
had discussions with the King in private
perhaps we will have nothing to read in the
Bible as those 'private discussions' could not
have been recorded except they had
'Wikileaks' then.

In 2 Corinthians 6 vs 14, the Bible said: Do
not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For
what partnership has righteousness with
lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light
with darkness?
Romans 12 vs 2 reads: "Do not be conformed
to this world, but be transformed by the
renewal of your mind, that by testing you
may discern what is the will of God, what is
good and acceptable and perfect."

I encourage every Christian to look up to
God, the author and finisher of our faith.

Pick up your Bible and read it.

Let the Holy
Spirit lead you because this is the end time
and only a personal relationship with God can
save anyone.
