AT WHAT POINT ARE WE ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT THE HELL
A lot of people might not like the line of my thought in this article,especially those who Cluelessly and foolishly follow their pastors like lambs to the slaughter, and to be honest,I really don't give a rats ass. I might not be a regular church goer like a lot of people,which always gets me into trouble with my boyfriend and mum, but I'm not unaware of all the shenanigans of our honourable pastors. On so many occasions,I have gotten involved in arguments with people concerning the questionable personalities of our pastors, especially the celebrity pastors,whatever that means. And on all of those occasions, I have been shut down because apparently,I am not allowed to cast aspersion on the anointed, even though they deserve it. Something happened recently that strengthened my resolve to stop shutting up about this issue. Enough is enough.
I was going through some articles on a blog I usually visit and I came across an article that shocked the living day light out of me. An article about Ese Walter's affair with pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo of COZA. I couldn't believe what I was seeing on so many levels. Firstly because she is a friend of mine, secondly, I have a lot of friends who attend that church, and thirdly because pastor Fatoyinbo's wife is someone I greatly admire and respect. After the shock of the article wore off, I read it and became more and more confused and conflicted by the content of the article. That Ese Walter Rugbere was involved with the 'almighty' pastor Abiodun is the shock of the century. After reading the article,I quickly called my mum to ask if she had seen it and she confirmed that she had. And just like every other person who had read it, she was quick to blame Ese for her involvement with him and to wonder why she had to put her family through the humiliation of that exposure.
A lot of people might want to blame her and even go as far as saying she seduced him, but please, before you do, take a minute and think about who should be judged here. Her or the pastor who has a wife a family a congregation and a whole lot of people looking up to him. I'm not absolving her of any blame, she shares in it, but the greater blame goes to the pastor. That a pastor would unwittingly lure a female member into a sizzling romance with him is a sin that even God shouldn't forgive. A sin that should not be taken lightly. How a pastor can throw caution, good jugement and morals to the wind and be entangled in such a shameful act is something that would be totally beyond my comprehension.
We are all responsible for the level at which our pastors have deteriorated to. A lot of craziness go on in our respective churches and we all keep quiet about it because we are scared shitless of 'touching the anointed of God' we allow a lot to be swept under the carpet because we fear not to be accused of judging them pastors. That is where we get it confused. Just because a person is a pastor with 'greater grace' doesn't stop us from calling them out on their transgression. Just because they have 'greater anointing' doesn't excuse our refusal to hold them accountable for their sins. These pastors operate in reckless abandon and then have the audacity to proceed to the pulpit to condemn the very sin they so clearly indulge in..I can never understand how these supposed anointed men commit sins that shame even sinners.
How is it even possible for us to openly condemn sinners with little or no anointing and refuse to throw stones at defaulting men of God? Isn't that double standard on our part? How can we continue to encourage these pastors who have deviated from the path of righteousness,and have created their own convenient path that they are shamelessly gliding through. These pastors do not care about the congregation they mislead with false pretenses of their holiness. They do not care that there are loads and loads of people who look up to them for spiritual guidance. No, they don't care. So why should we care not to tidy all their fuck ups, excuse my language.
A lot of people would be saying Tega shut up what do u know. I might not know anything, but I know that a mere human being like me without nearly a quater of the grace and anointing as these revered pastors, would think twice before committing some 'small small sins' how much more them. Please let's call a spade a spade and stop allowing ourselves to be deceived. There are just some sins that these pastors are guilty of that we shouldn't shut up about because God will punish us if we do. We are all mere mortals and we are not beyond sin, but there are just some sins we shouldn't be caught dead committing, like a pastor being sexually involved with a female parishoner. That is totally unacceptable.
I couldn't stop laughing when my mum said I have gotten yet another reason not to go to church. Funny enough,I'm a spiritual person, I'm just tired of all the bullshit of these pastors that is why I am not a regular visitor in the church. I keep seeing and hearing things our pastors do that would shock the wings off of angels. We all see and hear but we choose to keep quiet. We refuse to realize that the more we allow these men of God to get away with all their 'badness' the badder they become. Shame on all of us for being accessories in their sin and I really hope God forgives us for our cluelesness.
Ese Walter, I salute your courage to expose this monster using the pulpit as a means to perpetuate his evil. It must have taken you borrowed will power to step forward with this information knowing fully well that you would be putting yourself in the cross fire. you did it all the same irrespective of the criticism, hate, and disrespect you would get. I can only pray that God would help you through this confusing time. I know you and I know what you must be going through. But my prayers are with you. Prayer that you forgive yourself and God's forgiveness for not having the strength in character not to be tempted into an affair with a married man of God. I salute your resolve once again my friend. In time, this whole thing would blow over
NB: I feel sorry for anybody who still goes to that church and act like nothing happened. Pator Abiodun Fatoyinbo should be held responsible for his sins. And before you think she made everything up just to malign the name of the pastor, ask yourself what she had to gain by doing so. There is no smoke without fire. It is high time we said what the hell..
