It has been more than 4 months now since pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA
ministries promised a “robust reply” to the scandal of sex allegation made
against him by Miss Ese Walters.
Has anyone heard any reply at all? I gather he is still preaching and people
are still going to his church.
My question is: where or when does one draw the line between an erringpastor and a "false prophet"? Before you belt out “touch not my
anointed and do my prophet no harm” may I quickly remind you that the Bible
says to test all spirits? At what point did this pastor transform from a mere
man into God’s “anointed” pastor? As far as I can see, all pastors claim that
God has called and anointed them, and they are believed without any questions
asked or undergoing a test. That’s the best evidence anyone ever gets:
self-proclamation!!
It’s not their mistakes or failures that one is concerned about, pastors are
but humans and are liable to err like the rest of us; it’s the lack of
accountability, humility, and abuse of trust that irks. Pastor Biodun has
neither come out to deny the allegations nor shown contrition for abusing the
trust of thousands of his followers.
In spite of his attitude, his die-hard followers continue to bless him with
their tithes and offerings, as they “catch” his anointing every Sunday. I hope
he would show them some respect by coming clean with his “robust reply” soon.
Better late than never, I’d say.
