Nigerian born Pastor Sunday Adelaja has blamed widespread corruption in Nigeria to be caused by Nigerian churches and pastors.The founder of Embassy of God Church, Kiev, Ukraine, the largest Pentecostal church in Europe, in an interview faulted the wrong concepts that churches in Nigeria are promoting.
“A pastor could say that somebody would be a millionaire before the end of the year. Whereas we are in November or December and there are 500 people in that auditorium. All of them will shout amen!!! Yet Pastors don’t correct them saying that no, you would not become a millionaire before the end of the year even if you shout amen for the whole day.
“The only person that would become a millionaire is the person that has worked for it. The only person that would become a millionaire is the person that has at least signed a contract. When pastors don’t clarify that, everybody begins to believe that some miracles would happen.
“So when such a member goes to his office and he sees an unsigned check, for a million dollars and nobody is claiming responsibility for it, he claims it. He believes that it is God that has provided for him. That is how corruption gets from the pulpit to the society. That particular member would claim that God has answered his Pastor’s prayer.
“He would boldly come to give testimony the following Sunday while the naïve and ignorant members would shout hallelujah! Meanwhile they too are expecting similar miracles and on and on. That is how the vicious circle of corruption from the pulpit to the whole country runs.
I am a pastor too,
He is right
Nigeria people self
God works in mysterious ways,what does that mean? Does God no longer work in miraculous ways anymore? was it not same God who brought manners from heaven in the time of Moses is savant with no labour? Is He not same God of yesterday,today and forever? Money won’t make Rich,Nice book but don’t make people feel God has changed from being God of old.that comment was nice but it should have been a correction and not blame. Pst O.J Orukamaya.
This is a typical ignorance of the scripture.

@Past Orukamàya,Past Adelaja is 1000% right. God of Moses is still God of today and He will not prop he’s children to go steal and bring it into He’s sanctuary, but sir I know many popular men of God in Nigeria whose church members would steal millions from where they work and donate same in church only for church to deny knowing them when they are caught. Can you explain that, not to even talk of pastors riding jets and there congregation riding on hungry belly.
I absolutely agree with you.
If u got me right,u would have known that am not taking sides here,all am saying is that,the more u start criticsizing ministers on how they live or handle their ministries kills the fates of most believers and u’ve ended up losing another Sheep to the filed,nobody made anybody a judge let’s face salvation and shawn criticism.
#AWordFromHimIsEnough
When God comes to intervene, it does not take any effort for Him to turn situations around. If the Lord decides and says, “By this time tomorrow your destiny will change,” it will definitely change. What it takes God to change a situation is not more than a Word from His mouth. it took him six days to create the earth, whose worth can not still be solely paid for by one man, so what are riches?

God works in a mysterious way! Even in the bible Abraham had no child. At the dieing minute, God did something marvelous! What you’re trying to say, is that when man says its impossible, it remains impossible ? Even when science declared dead My God Gives Life! So if you know this God, the alpha and omega, the i am that i am, the Unshakeable God! You won’t let such thinking in your mind
God is not magician mind u His able to provides all our needs but Not in dubios way no one undestood HIS way
Maybe that is how Adelaja’s members do to make him the Bigger Church in Ukraine, u better Shut up there, what of the healing, deliverance and other good things that Pastors have done are not being talk about except negative ones, Muslim don’t insult their Pastors except Christians try and insult them u know what will happen to u! U who insult Pastors will be judge by God himself the said “Judgement is mine!!!
