Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that church leaders are part of the people encouraging corruption in Nigeria.
Obasanjo stated this on Saturday, while speaking at the convention of Victory Life Bible Church International in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He was represented at the event by Femi Olajide, who is the chapel of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library’s Christ the Glorious King Church.
“There is no doubt that all our institutions have been tarnished by the brush of corruption.
“If the Church, as an institution, does not take bribe or get involved in other corrupt practice, the behaviour of some of our men of God leaves much to be desired.
“They not only celebrate but venerate those whose sources of wealth are questionable. They accept gifts (offering) from just anybody without asking questions. This gives the impression that anything is acceptable in the house of God.
“But if Jesus can chase out those buying and selling from the temple with the declaration that, ‘My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves,’ then it is time to stand up against corruption,” Obasanjo said.
He also urged churches to preach prosperity messages with caution and moderation.
“Our present day ‘money changers’ and ‘merchants’ must be chased out of the Church and put to shame in the larger society.
“While miracles, signs and wonders are the expectations of true believers, such must be based on righteousness. To preach that one can acquire wealth without labour is not only deceitful; it is a call to corruption. It is false preaching and it is sinful.
“We must be careful in believing and celebrating every testimony of miraculous blessing, hence we end up being hoodwinked into celebrating corruption,” Obasanjo added.

I believe the servant of GOD Olusengu Obasanjo missed his calling and found it. This exactly what we're talking about happening in Ghana. I'm going to clear the weeds in my own backyard and not anywhere else. That instead of the church preaching righteousness, they preach riches and are collusion with the corrupt inviting them into GOD'S house of prayer and encouraging corruption themselves, when they know very well that the source of their filthy lucre is satanic. Well spoken by The HOLYSPIRIT through the lips of clay of His servant Olusengu Obasanjo.

The impression that Christians have created is just baffling and sad. They don't challenge impunity and they allow immorality to fester.

GOD has exalted His word above His Name and everything. JESUS Is also the Word. It can never lose direction. It's those who supposedly claiming they know the word twisting it inside out, they have lost the way.

My dear Prince unfortunately it's the people who are handling the religion they claim it's in service to GOD who are the hustlers. To our shame and disgrace.

Creflor Dollar isn't charging money. He's been paid already. It's the Ghanaians who paid him, you should fear. I don't think people are aware that it's safer to join the drug cartel than most churches. At least they aren't hypocritical about their business. What's happening in the church now is worse than the drug wars. Let's pray for GOD'S mercy and for His HOLYSPIRIT to reveal truth to us.

Christianity has perfect Annoiting and Grace. True pastor. A step God gave to the babes and hide it from the kings if the earth. It is giving to Christians to understand the grace but law and its curse of death to others. Christ is the way. If they know they will hijack that great grace for themselves and u have to see the great ones I mean in other religions before u can receive from God. God dodge them for our sake.

True Christians shouldn't expect abusers and other religions to understand the grace and the saving work of the cross. It takes the grace to understand.

They can't understand our kind of grace becos the grace we profess has lost the ability to say no to sin. The appetite for evil has outgrown the grace we should pray to GOD for becos He will never allow those who do not hv clean hands and a pure heart to ascend His Holy hill and abide in His Holy presence- and that's where we receive grace.

Of course it's all gibberish when the heart is not grounded in GOD'S love. We should encourage more dialogue and maybe you can sort out the gibberish and give us the legible on SP. Think you can do that?
