heheheehehe.....Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called on church leaders to keep
the temple of God clean to restore the holiness of the church against
corruption. While speaking on 'The Role of the Church in the fight
against corruption in Nigeria' at the Convention Lecture of Victory Life
Bible Church International on Saturday, he said:
'The church needs to clear its Augean stables. The temple of God must be
the cleanest to restore the holiness of the church. Our present-day
money changers and merchants must be chased out of the church. The
pulpit must be used to teach and preach righteous and honest living. To
preach that one can acquire wealth without labour is not only deceitful
but also a call to corruption.'
Obasanjo also cautions church leaders to be careful in believing and
celebrating every testimony in other not to end up celebrating
corruption.
'We must be careful in believing and celebrating every testimony of
miraculous blessing, otherwise, we end up celebrating corruption. The
behavior of some of our men of God leaves much to be desired. They not
only celebrate but venerate those whose sources of wealth are
questionable. They accept gifts (offerings) from just anybody without
asking questions, giving the impression that anything is acceptable in
the house of God.'
