Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church Primate Elijah Ayodele has attacked Christian leaders in Nigeria over silence on the death of founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations Prophet TB Joshua.
In a statement on Wednesday, June 16 by his media office, Ayodele accused the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) of being threats to the unity of Christianity.
The PFN has not said a word about Joshua’s death while CAN sent a condolence message to his wife Evelyn Joshua following outrage.
‘’Christians are the problem of the church, everyone will die one day but it’s unfortunate that a Christian brother died and the so-called big pastors can’t say a word of condolence, is that how good leaders act? What they have done is wrong, what does it take CAN, PFN to come out when the death happened to pay condolences?” Ayodele asked.
“The likes of Chris Okotie went ahead to call TB Joshua a wizard, some called him devil while he was alive, was it God that revealed that them that He is working for the devil? Why not bring an evidence? God is going to condemn lot of pastors.
“Christians are the problems of Nigeria, they don’t have love, they have different doctrines, and some preaching are not even biblical. When the beloved son of Pastor Adeboye died, TB Joshua sent condolences and ordered a 1-minute moment of silence to honour the deceased but now that He is dead, what have they done? These are part of hooliganism in Christianity, it’s quite unfortunate. I’m highly disappointed in Pastor Adeboye who is seen as a prominent Christian leader for keeping silent on this. Every one of us will die someday.”
Ayodele said alleged hatred among Christian leaders is the reason he would never join CAN, PFN or any Christian association.
