Pastors Lie on the Pulpit - Apostle Paul

The General Overseer of Faith Revival Africa Church, Apostle Paul Taiwo Adenuga has in an interview with Tribune, stated that pastors lie on the pulpit.

"Many pastors today are betrayers of the gospel. If you read your Bible very well, you would know that Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus. We pastors are the betrayers of the gospel. Some focus more on how to make monetary gain," Apostle Paul told Tribune.

In the conversation that ensued between  SEGUN KASALI of Tribune and Apostle Paul, the apostle said the following: 

The church is supposed to rescue the nation from its dilemma, but they have failed in their responsibilities. The Bible says that we are the salt of the world. With all bitterness in this country and with the present state of the church, it is disheartening, because we are not supposed to be experiencing this. I am not talking about the government. If the government fails the country, we the church of God should rescue the country. The reason is that the government is not the salt of the nation, but we are.

The government of Nigeria needs deliverance. I am still saying it; who are the people in government? Are we not the same people in government? This is the reason I am cautioning pastors to live by example. If pastors can do that, government would not do otherwise. 

A lot of people turn Government House to business house. Are you telling me that those in government don’t have mosques and churches they go to? What do they feed them with? They feed them lies.

Are you telling me that those in government don’t have mosques and churches they go to? What do they feed them with? They feed them lies.

But, the main problem is that pastors lie on the pulpit. No one is above the Bible. The Bible is the word of God. When you are trying to dodge the Bible because you get more followers when you talk, is that not lying? Go to any country in the western world, you don’t need any connection before they would give you your rights. Nobody would deny you your rights. But, in Nigeria, if you are not connected to evil people, they would deny you your rights. Is that not lying? Government should put everything in shape so that you don’t have to run to anybody before they would give you your rights.

I really want to warn against fake prophesies. We should be careful of fabricated prophesies and prophesies from the pit of hell. We should rather tell people to live according to the Bible. We should stop deceiving people. What we don’t hear from God, we should stop telling people.
