Sorry, can't help posting this, though, some people think Church leaders should not be berated.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God. (RCCG) Is stirring up a lot of dust for the wrong reasons of late.
Since the Church gave President Goodluck Jonathan her podium during the just ended "Holy Ghost Congress" this action some how puts the Church's endorsement and stamp of approval on a President we all know have not lived up to expectations. To make matters worse, was the President's dubious references to the alleged support of Pastor Adeboye and the RCCG as a whole in his political campaigns.
Like I keep saying, the Church is supposed to be the conscience of the society, pointing the way, shining the light and generally be above board so that she can effectively fulfill it's ministry of rebuking, correcting and teaching etc. (1 Timothy 5:20. 2 Timothy 3:16)
A Church that hobnobs carelessly with under performing politicians risk tarnishing her image and undermining her integrity.
Nigeria's clerics should follow the example of someone like South Africa's Bishop Desmond Tutu, who stood firmly against tyranny and injustice.
Maybe RCCG doesn't care about the image it sends to the world at large or else it wouldn't give the President all that leeway.
On the other hand: imagine Pastor Adeboye openly berating the President over the state of affair on his watch. Don't you think that ll mean more both for the President, the people of Nigeria and the Church!
