Any person who blasphemes against Jesus will experience God’s wrath, according to Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Adeboye made the remark while reacting to recent attacks and killings in various regions of the country that targeted churches and worshippers. He did so while speaking to his congregation at the RCCG’s monthly Holy Ghost Service for the month of July, which was conducted late Friday/early Saturday.
Religion According to reports from Nigeria, at least 40 Catholics were murdered by unidentified gunmen at the St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, in June.
Three people were slain by bandits in separate attacks on the Baptist Church and the St. Moses Catholic Church, both of which are located in the Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, two weeks after the Owo attack.
He also took the time to address a claim made by notorious on-air personality Daddy Freeze, who claimed that several women resorted to the god of thunder Ogun to curse the terrorists who killed worshipers in Owo since “Bros J” (a popular Nigerian slang term for Jesus) did not reply to them.
I don’t want to say too much because I’m aware that everything I say could be misconstrued by some. But I’ve read the Bible cover to cover, and I can find no place where God said a child of God couldn’t stand up for themselves.
“Let me know if you find the location. If they smack you on the right cheek, he advised, turn to the left. What did he say if they now smack the left? Do you know what it means when God is silent? It simply means, “over to you.”
“Every enemy of the church, if they don’t repent, the fire of God will consume them as long as my Father is still on the throne, as long as Jesus lives, as long as His name is the consuming fire. I exclusively speak to my kids; I don’t talk to anyone else.
Freeze had written last month, “When dem call bros J and he nor answer dem nko? We abandoned African paganism to adopt European pagan ideologies. Until we start telling ourselves the truth and take our security issues more seriously this won’t end. Christ’s message is love and that’s the first thing so glaringly missing in Nigeria.”
Reacting, Adeboye said, “I understand that one funny fellow said that some people were calling on Ogun because Jesus didn’t answer them.
“Well, the one who said that there’s a Yoruba proverb, it said, the mouth that the snail uses to blasphemy God, that mouth would kiss the ground. From now on, anybody who dares blaspheme Jesus Christ, they will taste the fire of the Almighty God.”
