“Blessed is the man who has delight in obeying
God completely, whatsoever he does shall
prosper.”
A CHAMPION in a lime and spoon 100, meters
race after winning a trophy, was asked by
journalists which of the crowd reaction helped
him to win. The crowd that cheered and praised
him or the crowd that mocked and jeered at him.
His response taught us a lesson: Ignoring the two
crowd reactions was the secret of his success.
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is a focused
Christian and a man of God. He has no time,
neither for those who praise him nor for those
that mock him and call him names. Adeboye is
passionate about salvation, about evangelism,
about character, integrity and holiness. He is an
incurable soul winner. As a young worker and
new convert, he formed a club: “The fishers of
men”. They would not go to bed any day without
winning some souls.
Over the years, God has used him to bring joy to
many homes enveloped in sorrow caused by
barrenness, terminal ailment or children of
wealthy parents that were hooked on drugs. At
the last RCCG Convention, which was the
platform for Femi Aribisala’s view, many women
that were called barren that Adeboye prayed for in
previous conventions brought their children in
their hundreds of thousands to give thanks to
God and to testify.
People brought on wheel chairs got up and
began to walk. People with terminal ailments
came out for prayer and they were asked to see
their doctors and confirm the healing that took
place. Adeboye did not want to share in God’s
glory; so he asked his pastors to lay hands on
these people. Under Adeboye’s leadership, The
Redeemed Christian Church of God established
departments that care for the afflicted and the
needy.
At Christ Against Drug Abuse Ministry, CADAM,
we gather drug addicts, heal them and give them
education or technical training depending on
individual’s ability and interest.
Habitation of Hope is a home that gathers the
homeless and the destitutes and give them hope,
education and a future. Many of these are now
citizens doing well for themselves.
RAPAC is a department that counsels, prays and
treats in confidence, people who are HIV positive.
Holistic Ministry ministers to prostitutes,
rehabilitates them, educates and trains them. ‘A
CAN can make a difference’ provides food for
people in the streets and under the bridges. RCCG
is preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in Nigeria
and in 187 other nations.
The General Overseer of a Pentecostal church
based in Victoria Island, Pastor Femi Aribisala,
wearing a mask of social critic and columnist
wrote an article: “Adeboye the richest man in the
world” at page 47 of Sunday Vanguard of August
16.
In the article, Aribisala condemned the ministry
of Adeboye, the revered General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God. Aribisala
believes the purpose of building a new auditorium
that can accommodate 12 million worshippers in
response to God’s instructions is because
Adeboye wants to make the Guinness Book of
Records. Adeboye has his name in the LAMB’S
BOOK OF LIFE which is the best achievement any
mortal can ever aspire to.
Aribisala said: “Pastor Adeboye is using man’s
wisdom to teach his congregation how to prosper
instead of imitating our Lord Jesus who pleaded
with his disciples that calamity awaits rich people
and that poor people are the blessed people.”
Aribisala got the gospel mixed up; many
scriptures tell us the mind of Christ about wealth,
our welfare, our health, salvation and eternity. In
3 John verse 2, the Bible says: “Beloved, I wish
above all things that you mayest prosper and be
in good health, even as thy soul prospereth”. In
other words, after salvation, God wants us to
have a good health and strong financial
resources.
In Philippians 4:19, the Bible says: “But my God
shall supply all your needs according to his riches
in glory by Christ Jesus.”
That is, the Lord will supply the needs to take the
gospel to the uttermost parts of the world.
The Bible tells us that Jesus was rich, he was
never poor.
“The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the
Lord of hosts”— Haggai 2:8.
The owner of solid minerals cannot be described
as poor. In Psalm 50:10, the Bible says: “The
Lord of host is rich. The cattle on a thousand
hills are His”. The gospel of Jesus, however,
teaches us not to focus on wealth and that the
rich should not be high minded and that our
focus should be on things of eternal value.
‘Salvation, preaching the gospel’ are of eternal
value and they have to be funded.
SELF-SUFFICIENT
Jesus was self-sufficient. He did not carry money
or cheque book about but when he needed a
thing he would decree it. He rode in the Mercedes
Jeep of his time to Jerusalem. He commanded
money out of the mouth of a fish when he needed
to pay tax. He was not a tax defaulter. The little
boy who brought five loaves of bread and two
fishes went home with 12 baskets because Jesus
wanted to teach his congregation and disciples
the principles of financial breakthrough.
RCCG is a full gospel church where holiness,
divine healing, evangelism and principles of godly
prosperity without sorrow are preached.
Adeboye used a metaphor when he told the
congregation on Saturday of the last convention
that he is richer than Bill Gates. In 188 nations,
members of RCCG would offer him a place to stay
in their personal houses, a privilege Bill Gates
does not have. It was a challenge to the workers
to win souls.
It will be a surprise if Aribisala’s church in the
home of the wealthy, Victoria Island, is built to
look like a temple or synagogue of the Bible days,
simply because his understanding is that only
poverty can be combined with holiness. It is also
amazing that Aribisala’s church was not planted
in Ajegunle, Idumota or Mushin which agrees with
his philosophy that only the poor will enter the
Kingdom of God.
Another issue is Aribisala’s comment that Daddy
Adeboye once boasted that those who want to
become President will come to RCCG to seek
support and that the royalty of the United
Kingdom will want to be part of RCCG. The
prophecy that political candidates in Nigeria will
come to RCCG to solicit support has been
fulfilled. In 2011, presidential aspirants came to
seek Adeboye’s prayer and counsel.
Prince Charles, the British crown prince,
worshipped in RCCG, Jesus House, London, and
commended the efforts of the church. Queen
Elizabeth has also endorsed the impact and
efforts of RCCG in the United Kingdom. Boris
Johnson, the Mayor of London, and Prime
Minister David Cameron attended RCCG Festival
of Life in London when elections were close by.
Adeboye prayed for them and they won their
respective elections.
Cameron said: “Thank you, Daddy G.O.”
Aribisala’s friends in RCCG should give him those
tapes, if he wants to confirm.
Reputation law governing charity empowers a
charity to raise money publicly if they wish
provided the finished product is presented to the
donors to see. Adeboye is not a signatory to the
project account. He has invited the public to visit
the new auditorium even while under
construction.
Regarding some of our pastors and members
who are in political/public offices, we
acknowledge that their promotion came from God,
it is a wake-up call for increased prayers that
insurgency will be crushed and Nigeria will
prosper and improve in all fruits for their sake.
The big question is this; how does Aribisala have
so much time to visit and monitor messages and
structures of other churches when he has a flock
to feed spiritually?
In conclusion, we like to advise and pray for
Aribisala.
PREACHING THE TRUTH
He should preach the truth to his congregation,
the full gospel truth—holiness, prosperity, divine
healing- and he should challenge them to win
souls so that together we can expand the
Kingdom of God and extinguish or reduce the size
of Satan’s Kingdom. He should preach in his
Sunday Vanguard column and win souls.
The Lord that is rich in mercy will envelope
Aribisala in his mercy, overlook his malicious
words against us and enlighten his eyes of
understanding.
Adegbiji, a pastor, is the head of the RCCG Media
and Public Relations.

Pastor Aribisala's missile
https://www.nairaland.com/2539571/pastor-adeboye-richest-man-world

honestly I didn't read this ONE sha but I normally read when someone quotes me.

Glory be to God

Ghen ghen. I knew this Femi Aribisala guy don find better trouble when him talk this thing.

Let watch how it plays out.

Move 1 - Someone has officially spoken from the RCCG. All of a sudden there's a head of media and public Relation. Reply seem well organized. A professional media man I must say.

Observation: You don't attack a body as big as the RCCG. Adeboye has a movement working for him. His structure is one of the best in the world. He has over a million foot soldier in all parts of the world. We've never had a better gathering of Technocrats, Thiefocrats, Politiciocrats, BusyBodyocrats, Hypocritocrats and ChildrenofGodocrats all assembled in one place with one voice and with the most unifying and as well destructive factor on earth, Religion.


Watch out for this space while I do my best to analyze all that comes out of this media war...with my amateurish pen abi computer in this instance.
