Nigerian Pastor, based in Ukraine, Sunday Adelaja, has described the quote from the Holy Bible by the leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye as a broad daylight lie.
In a video published to YouTube, Pastor Adelaja replayed a video of Pastor Adeboye, lecturing on the subject: ‘Sacrifice Overturns Wrath’ in which he quoted Psalm 41:1-3, using the Scriptural reference to encourage attendees to financially partner with his ministry.
“If you are a giver, when you are sick, God will visit you,” Pastor Adeboye was seen quoting from the Bible as shown in the video.
But Pastor Adelaja referred to the same Psalm 41 which he said says: “Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.”
He argued that the context refers to giving to the less privileged, not to a church or pastor, even as he said that Pastor Adeboye’s interpretation is a “broad daylight lie.”
The founder of Embassy of God said that Pastor Adeboye “twisted the Bible just for people to give to him.”[myad]
