Fuji star, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma has reacted to the suspension of a Redeemed Church Pastor, Toyin Ogundipe who was said to have paid him to perform at a crusade slated to hold in one of the parishes in Lagos Island. The Fuji star declared that, although, the church’s management paid for the show, it is never done to expect him to pay back the “artiste fee” saying, “the fault is not ours, we were ready to perform for them until we learnt of the cancelation of the crusade”.
City People reports that,the Pastor in charge of Province 20 of the Redeemed Church had invited Pasuma to perform at the Church’s forthcoming crusade titled, “Lagos Island Family Areas Forum” between Friday, October 23rd- Sunday 25th, 2015.
Pasuma’s picture appeared on the handbill advert and posters alongside gospel singer, Tope Alabi and a former band leader of the late Fela Anikulapo’s Egypt 80 band, Kereke Jike.
The decision to stop the programme was because the church headquarters felt the Pastor had gone too far by inviting a secular artiste such as Pasuma to its church programme.
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the organisers did not do a detailed consultation before going ahead with the programme. He also said that it was as a result of it that the programme was cancelled and the Pastor in charge of the church along with the organising committee suspended as they now await further sanction from the provisional headquarters for dragging the name of the church in the mud.
investigations by City People reveal that The Redeemed Christian Church of God clearly frowns at the use of secular musicians, a development which has been clearly stated in its handbook to Pastors.
That is wrong don’t you knew people can gave their life through this invitation of pasuma. Is wrong to suspend or cancelled d program because people we want to come because of Pasuma from their people’s life will change
People give their live because of pasuma,Hmmmmn nawa.oooooo,May i ask you a question,Pasuma is he born again,thats number one,is there not gospel singers in the land that pasuma should come and sing,You black people have destroyed the legacy that christ build for his people and all of you hypocrisy,Shall pay dearly for it.
Hope yu remember what the bible say?the bible say Jesus christ came bcos of sinner nt the rightious ones,so those that haven’t accept christ that will come to the crusade may still give their life to christ,God said he owns the hart of king and others,so God can arrest some of the people that comes bcos of pasuma to the crusade.
See how my people are reacting about a Religion that’s foreign to thier culture.
In the present of God all of us are equal both the liers that call themselves born again and we that we know we are siner, don’t let us reject any body and nobody God can’t use for evangelism even our GO said in his preaching that the man that will replace him is still in the bear parlor drinking and fonicating. Who do we know that lord God will send to change the people to gain eternity. Please and please let’s us be wise. Enough and go into our bible
dont mind spiritually blinded folks
U must be very stupid and senseless for using the word “black people” what a careless talk.ode
Na wa oooo RCCG. With wahala infact I go even stop the church sef cos dey are too selective. What is wrong with pasuma coming to play in ordinary crusade abi naa everybody inside bible born again for one day? Instead of him to play so a lots of crown can visit the premises and if RCCG pastors get power to change life they will used there born again spirit speak light into unbelievers life than to they find who them go dey deceived with fake preaching on the street and I dey suspect say some committee members too want chop inside the money that was why they are trying to cause katakata in the house of God na wa oo even pasuma sef fit born again through these crusade mr adeboye check all your fake pastors. Am also your new member
You need to polish your English…
Have you ever been to Pasuma show before? if yes… You will understand why they cancelled the program… pasuma has nothing to contribute to Gospel, they will just turn the place to Indian hemp and thuggry arena.
it is writen.can we do evil that good may come?
Abeg make I hear word. Like you are God.
Wich song did pasuma want 2 sing dat will change people life
People will come because of Pasuma and they will here the preaching & this may cause them to change. ….moreover, is the program meant for only redeem members or the community? If it’s meant for the community then there shouldn’t be any discrimination as to the type of musician to play.
you are very correct and reasonable .the pastor just want to use him to attract the sinners .that my own view.
T
Na wetin ur mind tells U???
it might be a strategy of converting the tout to God. the pastor ministration in that day determine, Thou it look somehow bringing the Worldly things to church but we still need to consider the mission behind his action.

due 2 my own point of view, firstly d more we pple see d lesser we understand cos d issue of being converting depends on d inner ability of pple,so inviting pasuma 2 church truely pple wil come 4 him @ last dey wil leave 4 him so it only invovle d ministation of an inspired songs dat i think can b bring salvation 2 soul thanks God bless
THE SHOW MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST TURNING POINT IN THE LIVES OF SO MANY INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD’VE BEEN THERE PRESENT
At the same time make a lot of people to backslide.
Y you go invite so secular musician like pasuma. Uno de read Bible ni, forget about pasuma attracting crowd or something he sings wordly songs and a holy church of GOD should not be his stage
Y you go invite so secular musician like pasuma. Uno de read Bible no, forget about pasuma attracting crowd or something he sings wordly songs and a holy church of GOD should not be his stage
remember d rich man who said let me go and tell my family about d pain here but God told him no. people in d world will do so I.e d saint not secular person DAT is not born again.
Paso in the church wonder shal never end se jesu fe jo paso music ni.
i 1da ooooo my broda
Which
Using satan’s tool to do God’s work won’t work out.
but, what about if pasuma converted to Christian through dat pastor,he shall be welcomed by so called headquarter
The pastor even suppose to be arrest by inviting pasuma to sing in church program,can someone answer me, which sing will pasuma sing in the church that can convert unbeliever to God?
inviting pasuma into the church programme is very wrong. only God can determine which soul is to be won for him. u can’t use human strategy to win soul for Christ except by his will and lead.
Pasuma is coming there to sing his wordly song not gospel song, dat means not only to pull the croud but also to inpact the life of pple in the church also to his wordly song. Let me tell u d moment pasuma drop d mic, dos dat came bcos of him ‘ll also vanish wt him immediatly……..
Pasuma himself might get touched by d spirit of the most high God and his life saved forever. Dat would have been a headline news till d end of the year. Paul met jesus, Pasuma can meet jesus also.
That Pastor has lost it. He needs Jesus himself. Pasuma does not have the life of Christ, so he has no business in the kingdom affairs
And u have the life if christ u chief judge
Thanks God man no be God…look at how bloody sinners keep judging…who are u to judge…do u knw Gods plans for that event if it had took place….all this fuji type of beat they all dance to in the church are they not from circular songs and musicians….who are u to judge…..dont be suprise on judgement dat some of u born again and even pastors wont make heaven while the so called pasuma will do…who are we to judge…
Sure! U are right
God bless u my bro,he that is born of d flesh is flesh,he that is born of d spirit is spirit.Sinners has kno businss ministering in d gathering of saints or else they will scatter things
Saheed Osupa was once Called to a Church Program, & he Delivered his Message through his Fuji Music. Pasuma his a Talented Musician & I believe he won’t sing bad music. Redeem should have give him a change may be God can use him.
you won’t be surprised wen pple started entering d church wit bottles of beer and hemps(igbooo) if d program still hold and dey should nt also be surprise if pple started molesting dia selves in d church premises cox dey called for it or wot do you xpect(by dia fruit we shal know dem), bible said iron sharpenth iron, pasuma will come to show himself nt jesus…..pple will come and immediately pasuma leave dey leave, am talking frm xperience….let pasuma convert 1st,so his testimonies will win souls……G.B.U all
Hmmmm Shay Una No Say Pasuma Don Sing 1 Song 4 Una B4 Talopa Jesu Dat Y Dat Pastor Invited Him 2 Cum Nd Sing D song 4 Dem Again Cus No Aw Is Nt Going 2 Sing Raz Song Dat Day Cus His Fans Must Demand 4 It Self Dey Wil Nw Turn Church 2 Anoder Fin Corrution Wil Nw Started Churches Dis Lfy Is Going 2 An End Opin Aye Tin De No Gospel Music Again Is Church Nw Na Fuji Remain Nawa Oooooo
i dey laugh as i dey sing ” Jesu gba mi, Olugbala mi by Alfa Sule… Sign of the end time. Who among us can drink from a dirty cup…God is not only interested in the content, He is also interested in the container…not to talk about bringing both dirty contents and container…have read about strange fire in the scripture before? hmmm…if Jesus or Peter or Paul were to be alive, will they have invited pasuma just because they want to win lost souls? can the pastor and the organizers boldly tell all of us that God told them to invite him?…the kingdom issues are beyond human wisdom…in the kingdom we live only by the words that came out of God’s mouth…you cannot help God, if you do so, you will be sincerely wrong.
Infact,can’t bliv dis.
Pasuma indeed.
This must be another fake news. No pastor in his right senses would invite Pasuma or his likes to sing in a church crusade. I don’t buy this story.
The crusade was for believers only the holy people of God! Sinners were not included.
Now the sacked Pastor can now organise a crusade for the unbelievers , and invite worldly people but he needs to make sure that the chief speaker is the Holy Spirit and then a transformation and revelation will take place .
All is still well , Jesus died for us all.
Crusade is not meant for believers but for the sinners like u, judging unrighteously, Jesus said he didn’t come for the righteous but for the sinners like u who claimed to be righteous so that u can become original righteous so get this into your sense
Let’s 4get about the issue of Paso, I’m sorry 2 say d man of God is derailing or has derailed 4rm God….when we’re canal, we ought to do canal tinz, I tink d solution now is 4 d board @ d headquarters to pray fervently 4 d pastor to re-kindle with Christ. Thanks
Why do we comment as if we re 100% holy. Christ did not die for d saint, he died for the sinner. Paso and his ppl may be arrested by d holy spirit DAT day. If d lord had converted him (Paso) and his ppl DAT day do u knw d name of dat church will ring bell all over and more so Paso can only sing gospel music in DAT type of gathering cos he is not foolish
That is it let them understand!
How come u easily discover a derailed man of God, let me tell u, u are doomed already for judging unrighteosly, give ur life to God, the disciples of Jesus asked him why he was dinning with the sinners, and he answered them, and said he didn’t come because of u “righteous” but because of sinners who are ready to give their life to him, people like u are still expecting the coming of the messiah simply because he God that should be born by pope John Paul or be born in the glass house in America. Stop all this crap so that u won’t regret, u r too small to stop the work of God
let us ask d pastor,if he saw revelation Frm god to invite pasuma,bcos gods way of doin tins is beyond human understandin
I can’t imagine people’s responses on this…even a person tormented by d devil said & I quote “Paul,I know, Peter I know…Who are thou” now, what’s d essence of inviting him? who will he change? VANITY UPON VANITY
I strongly disagree with you…..
When Christ came into the world, all he needed was an Audience (to teach)
No wonder he said to Zacchaeus, “in your house I will be today” Zacchaeus was not a believer, but he is rich and has numerous followers (do you think CHRIST was interested in the dinner or Zacchaeus money)
CHRIST understood the numbers of people that would be in Zacchaeus house (that was His target, to have a gathering where He could speak the word of God)
Believe me…. That crusade could have changed a lot of things (if not a lot of people)
You r not God, he can use any medium to express himself, he is the head of all principality, baby xtian stop manifesting on this page, we want mature xtian who ve read through their bible and discover that God can blindfold a prophet like balaam and give the revelation to an animal, therefore be careful with ur mouth, what strategy ve u also device to win souls for God, stop this before u start to face the wrath of God
One thing we should all understand…….
The programme will not be in church, but an open ground.
Secondly, as a Christian……. Our gospel is not for the Christian (it’s for the non Christian) I want to believe the Pastor is using Pasuma as medium to bring the non Christian to the table, and trust me, Pasuma will have no choice but to preach Christ (directly or indirectly)
I see a very strong course in step the pastor has taken which could have been a huge success to have numbers of converts, if not, the event would record the highest number of audience in the history of that particular Church, which I am sure was the initial target by the Pastor.
My view (period)
Almost everybody has been talking about what success the programme could have been. What we forget is that we are all called to work for God and not to take over from Him. As good as sacrifice to God is, God dealt with King Saul when he chose SACRIFICE to God above obedience to Him. God’s way is far above our ways of thinking.
First thing, did God ask him(the pastor) to go ahead.
Second thing, God would have prepare the heart of Pasuma before this event(just like he did Saul’s with the blindness and vision).
Third thing, where did Pasuma get his inspiration? From God?
Forth thing, let us all stick to our calling. We are called to preach and it is the duty of the Holy Spirit to convince. Paul plants and Apollo waters, it God that brings increase.
I pray God will keep us all till the end.
Jesus did nt come for d perfect, He came for d sick. I’m vry sure d pastor may have been pray to see d life of pasuma change nd him giving is life to Christ. God may nt use d crusade for pple bt to gain pasuma into d kingdom. I think we have lost diz golden opportunity to win pasuma for Christ. D life of most of diz so calld christian musicians is worst than d life of pasuma. Dnt u think if pasuma should give his life to christ do u kw d number of sinners that will do the same? God can touch him on the stage. Well, God will help us all bt Christ came for pple like pasuma nt pple in the kingdom.
thanks you Emmanuel, I like your comment pasuma can change through the crusader
God is not against the idea of inviting pasuma to church or crusade ground but is totally an abomination for him to minister in anyway.even Paso can be given the front sit no problem,the word of God can touch him to change is life and that will be cool.But it’s an abomination for an unbeliever to minister in an holy ground either in the church or crusade ground. Think before giving your comment thanks.
Jesus said in His word dat He has not come for the saved,but for the ones that are yet to know Him. And 2, He uses foolish things to confirm d wise,shalom.
One day redeem church will invite mascruade to come and perform all in the. Name of converting souls……rubish
Pasuma u know that any where he go a lot of area boys will go with him smoking weeds and robbing pple of there valuables
Hmmmmmm……..Redeem na waaooooo for u pple
Going by the theme of the programme” And He found Him” any artist can be brought to christ . 2, To all those criticizing the pastor n d organisers of the programme! Are they 100 percent righteous ni ?? I stand to be corrected, Peace
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.I find it absurd that a lot of Christians this days would readily accept ungodly and canal concepts all in the name of not judging other people and winning souls.To me its just a silly excuse to do those things. Why is it that,we can’t make these people conform to us but we can easily join them in whatever they are doing.How is inviting Pasuma to a crusade going to win souls for the church.what is he going to preach.Believe me if any unbeliever is there it is just to listen to his songs and leave immediately he finishes.
N:B YES,JESUS DID ENTER ZACCHEAUS’S HOUSE BUT HE WAS THE ONE THAT PREACHED.IRON SHARPENETH IRON REMEMBER.HOW IS PASUMA GOING TO BAPTISE THE UNBELIEVERS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Soul winning is not by strategy, but by divine intervention wisdom. I see no wrong in cancelation of the program by Rccg authority. By d way y he insistd nt rfunding d money, did he has Gods spirit so?
it is very bad idea 2 invite an earthly things in2 d church of God,whm did dat pastor take dat resemble in d bible?dat is fake pastor.
The end time is near!!!!!!
If the programme is organised for the community, I think they should not put the church name on that poster.
You can invite the pastor to come and preach…. Salvation is for everybody, but have you ever hear that Muslim brother invited people like Sammy okposu to sing for them, even Anty Tope Alabi…
Let Pasuma firstly give his life to Christ and church should now start inviting him to their programme in order to win many people to Christ…
Examples of the worldly singer’s that gave their to Christ and now singing in the Church..
1. Ebenezer Obey
2. Sammy Okposu
3. King sunny Are e.tc
Jesus Love You….
iron shapen iron…. Did God told u so, or even what was your conversation with the Father?
Remember that this is end time
Can a gospel singer be invited 2 come nd sing in a mosque? Or in any Muslim gathering?
I think this is d opportunity we d redeemer has been searching for to win d soul of paso decade ago . pls let him perform his duty DT day we can only consion him been it a church program. Meanwhile paso is not kid
The bottom line of this, the pastor supposed to inform the headquarter before taken the decision to invite Pasuma. Everything in life whether moral, spititual and otherwise need careful obsrvation before embark on it.
Very True @Engr Muyiwa from a reliable source
Hmmmm what is church turning to me I know understand ooo. Why most pasuma defile the temple of God the truth of the matter is that his a Muslim not only that his not born again
The church is becoming worldly, and the world becoming churchy that its now difficult to differentiate. Where av u ever heard that sinners gives their life to Christ through another sinner’s ministration. If the pastor wants to convert pasuma y not go and preach to him, must he invite him to sing @ a crusade that its meant to glorify God. When Jesus went to zaccheus house, was it zaccheus dat sang or was he d one who ministered, did Jesus ever invited zaccheus to come and preach in d temple. Jesus Christ Himself chased away traders from the temple cos they are trying to turn a holy ground into a market place, y didnt He leave them dat through dat way dey wud get converted. Use ur brain and reason for once all of u who are again d action of d headquarters. So the followers of pasuma wud come to the crusade gathering to drink and smoke their weed and u expect the presence of God to be in such gathering, i wonder wat u pple are trying to turn Christianity into.
@bro wale we r nt talking abt religion or way of life here , we r talking abt soul winning. do u kw even d G.O is once like pasuma? if God can touch paul on his way to kill christian hw much more a fuji musician. I wnt u to understand dat directly or indirectly pasuma will preach Christ dat day. we shuld nt limit wat God can do… I think the redeemed elders suppose to see beyond d physical nd join d pastor in praying instead of telling him to go. they hav jst disgrace d body of Christ nd RCCG as a whole. cutting of d head is nt d cure for headache. We r nt d one to tell God wat to do . Let him sing nd let see if God will nt arrest him. I surely kw d gate of hell can nt pre veal against d Church….
HOW CAN CHURCH INVITE A MUSLIM (ALHAJI) TO SING @CRUSADE,THINK WISELY OOOOOOOO!
God know the best,
Thanks God man no be God…look at how
bloody sinners keep judging…who are u
to judge…do u knw Gods plans for that
event if it had took place….all this fuji
type of beat they all dance to in the
church are they not from circular songs
and musicians….who are u to
judge…..dont be suprise on judgement
dat some of u born again and even
pastors wont make heaven while the so
called pasuma will do…who are we to
judge…
Agreed Bunmi, there is nobody that God cannot use. Some comments cited the case of Saul in the New Testament which I totally agreed with. But I must say here that there must be that thirst for the spirit in you before the Holy Spirit takes over and arrest the soul. When ministers start inviting secular musicians and comedians for ministrations in the house of God, then they have lost their calling. When Jesus went into the synagogue he was angry to see that it has been turned into the market where all sorts of people and things took place. He upturned all the nonsense and chased them out. The same thing is what has just started in our churches now. We need to go before the Lord and ask for discerning spirit that guides one to the right way and not to deviate from the will of God. This is very necessary before we begin to invite magicians too to come and minister in our Churches.
Dot belive dis story at all.is a cork nd Bull story.
the only one who can reprove sinners is the Holy spirit. He starts d work of salvation…no pastor has the wisdom to convert anybody…we can only try our best bt it is d work of the Spirit of God. Its a pity ao christainity has turned to…we are mocking God…did it occur to anyone that dis man was invited and was paid….he never came for God…those so called unbelievers who ll come also ll nt come fr God bt just to catch fun and go away….Do nt mock God fr he is nt a man, ao ar we sure he wont twart d faith of those standing firm by his ministration? What if pple fall thru his ministration? Do we care abt that??
Na wa u guys don’t hav d right to suspend anybody cos a sinner worst dan him he still com to church and stand on d alter and sing u guys hav commit a grave cos u condem him without given him a chance u don’t even knw maybe God want to use dis as a miracle in is life redeemed church my foot rubbish am a redeemed member but dis nt fair dat mean if a sinner want to enter d chuch den he is nt allow in redeemed abi is dat nt wat u guys mean dat mean all usher and all member should be thrown out der is no day dat we will nt sin
I cant just stop laughing which song dat pasuma wants 2 contribute 2 people’s life,he wont sing up 2 2 minute b4 he mentions Opeyemi lamerika ma ma re.rubbish
Aw can a pastor invite a fuji artist 2com sing in da church? I read sum peeps comments saying unbelievers cld change or paso himself can be converted wch in ma own view is totally wrong. Sum are even saying jesus died 4 sinners n nt Saints so dt gives d pastor d rite 2 invite a secular musician. Pls let call a spade by it name spade.
Who is a believer, how do u know what is abomination? Stop judging this innocent pastor, u and I know that he is of good notion, he can be corrected in love but at least he made the move, to populate the kingdom in the way he understands but where is your own efforts? Did heaven recognize ur own efforts? Read Matthew 7:1
Halleluyah……wen prupose in unknown,den d abuse of purpose is inevitable….if yu study 1stKings….it gave an account of Elisha “……nd wen d minstrel had played,the hand of d Lord came upon Elisha” y songs are sung in church at each service is in oda for d Hand of d Lord to come upon worshippers…..d rule of d World is”yu can’t giv wat yu don’t hav” hw culd some1 hu doesn’t has d HOLY SPIRIT transfer it den?…were yu told dat Pasuma is comin to sing Gospel?…even if he comes widout being born again,his praises wuldnt be accepted..bcoz God must b approached with a clean heart nd not a rebellious act…he should b invited as a PERSON not as PERFORMING ARTIST..d Lord doesn’t dwell in d congregation of d unrytious..peace

Good for d pastor…. Mitchewww. Av u eva seen a place where d traditionalist wants to do party or festival n dey now invyt d pastor? Wat agreement does light av wit darkness? Wat song doz pasuma want to sing dat wil change lives? I doubt weda d pastor sef is not a secret fan of pasuma… Hmmmm God help ur church
who is to be blame is not d issue but d lesson 2 learn
1. d mission has rules & regulatns where did d parish/pastor concern have miss it.
2. God can use anybody but dont forget dt it is not all ministers(vessles) dt God use
3. ds has nothing to do with Pasuma as a person but d effect after the programme just as it is now dt d progrmme did not hold
4. who takes the glory God or Paso. when a program is done d pastor praise God, when a show is done whom did Paso praise for it
5. Paso is Alhaji ao many time has he perform on any of the islamic body stage or will Tope Alabi be giving a ticket to perform by any islamic body
SO U CAN C DT IT IS NOT WHOM TO BLAME BUT WHAT TO LEARN
Hmmmm
It is well ooo
I’m just speechless
I believe dragon can’t stand b4 d ark of Covenant and vice versa.
“No man comes to d Father except d Father draws him.”
Not by human strategy…
God will forgive you people who go against the decision of G.O pls let us have the fear of God in our life……pasoma to come and sing in church
God will have….
D pastor and d comitee might just b backsliders, they shld b examined.
Has Paso featured even in any Islamic concert or program before? Ok d pastor want him to come and remix “Ta lo pa jesu” he should have invite St. Janet as well all in the name of trying to convert people’s lives which his own anointing can’t perform.
Pasuma been invited to the show may not even showup is to just get people’s attention…Insstead of Pasuma it could have been better of a muslim singer who could sing unity song to Nigerians.
for ur informatn, for those of u dat, using style to insult pasuma. pasuma has no fault at all,is ur pastors dat, has fault. since, u knw he has nothg to contribute to d life of people. then, why did u invites him?. or, do u want to tel me dat, ur pastors did not knw, he is a fuji singer. better mind ur speech.
Jesus was on earth for the unsaved, but after talking to them, did anyone ever minister without the Holy Spirit on them, even the so called disciples were unable to exploit until they were filled and charged by the Spirit of the Most High. So let us not twist the bible to suit our pleasure and canal mind.
hnnn i hope that pastor is not belong? like pastor like member na wao
Though it’s true that there’s nobody God does not welcome in his presence, there’s nobody he cannot use or touch, but the fact still remain that like the biblical Moses and Aaron who instead of speaking to the rock as God had commanded them to do,went as far as hitting the rock with Moses’ staff (eventhough it was Moses who struck the rock)to bring water for the Israelites.you know what followed after they did this. In essence,what the pastor did is like trying to create a name for himself in RCCG and the entire christendom or even Nigeria as a whole forgetting that all glory belongs to God and that it is God who exalts one not one himself. For a secular musician like Pasuma to come and sing in the church or christians’ gathering without God’s consent might be a disaster and such might lead many astray. I think the pastor should seek the face of God and ask for forgiveness. May God lead us all right. Amen.
I have read numerous comment but the fact still remains that the whole story is false.
not every tin u read on the Internet is true…
The pastor in question is the head of my parish and we all are unaware of this.
We never planned to invite anyone…The flyer is for lagos island family and the pastor is in mushin.
facts speak for themselves! This is a conspiracy against the pastor…
BEWARE!!! DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET.
if God cld use Saul who was a more shwerd man Dan pasuma hw much more can he do wit pasuma remember d bible said he dat is without sin let him first cast d stone don’t accuse him of being a sinner wen u not different from its not like its oganla remix he is going to sing dere
they want to bring a diabolical person to the altar of God to win souls for Christ.what a shame?
The same Bible said we should not be of equal yoke with unbelievers.
He should have invited Seun Kuti join Pasuma, all because he want to win soul for God. I don’t know when God begin dancing kokonbilo on the Alter.
But if pasuma did not collect money,but want to come as a guest and perform alongside tope alabi, all for free,what would happen?
Ok if pasuma is frm redeem church what are u goin to say about it
To invite such artist is not acceptable to the church. Abah
The suspension of the Pastor and the organising committee members of the crusade dosent worth it at all. If a fuji micisian like Adewale Ayuba a muslim with the tittle OSUPA ADINI became a born again redemer who knows what will happen after the crusade? I am sure that somebody will give his life to christ during the crusade hence the suspension of the pastor is a misplaced priority..
don’t ever judge anyone here cos u don’t av d right, are u 100% sure u ar a born again christain?
what as darkness has to do with light
be not unequally yoked with unbeliever
Every commentators on this issue has right to view their opinion. Left to me the pastor err, though human were prone to errors or mistake, other wise he would have unveil his plan to his superiors probably the headquarters for divine advice & direction. Maybe if he had taken this step things would not have gone as bad as this. Although God has way of doing things far different from human, but some times we need to seek for higher divine order and directive before concluding on vital issue like this. Me think that this is what the pastor lack that land him in this mess. May God forgive us all.
RCCG does not have any issue with pasuma, they have dealt with the one they have issue with (the pastor who invited him). They should first invite pasuma to come and give his life to Christ first. Sunny Ade was allowed to minister at the redemption camp after He openly surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.
Then let him change first before he’s invited to the headquarters.What will he sing that will win souls?After the crusade,won’t he go back into the world and won’t the people that came cos of him follow him back?A word is enough for the wise
Can sumbody plz tel me wat kind of music both d youths n d elderly ppu r dancin 2 in d churches nowadays?. Just passin by
Nawa o to all of u! I tink all dos commenting dat is nt a crime inviting pasuma u guys aint christian! Wat is he cmn to sing dat will make ppl repent? He is not a gospel artist…is just like. Inviting obesere to chuch to cum and sing wat? U guys dnt tink well!
Lets us think before we conclude the matter. I didn’t blame pasuma but i blame the pastor and the committee of the church. That is not the way jesus christ did it. Tax collector wanted to see jesus , likewise Harlot ran to meet him to safe her from the multitude. And Jesus used that opportunities to win their souls. Not like pasuma’s situation. Thanks
SINGING IS LIKE PREACHING. PASUMA CANNOT BE INVITED TO PREACH IN GOD’S HOUSE, SINCE HE IS NOT A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL. SINGERS ARE EVANGELIST OF THE WORD OF GOD. PASUMA IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE HOLD. HE IS NOT A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. I THINK THE PASTOR IS A FAN OF PASUMA IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE. PASUMA CANNOT BE CALLED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL BECAUSE HE CANNOT GIVE WHAT HE DOESN’T HAVE. THE CHURCH HQ IS RIGHT TO DISCIPLINE THE PASTOR.
All your comment are good is reason able but rational .the problem of Nigerians is that they are lazy in mind.pls what does the code of conduct of rccg say mmmh … You dont know like wise me . now lets be reasonable . every establishment has a code of conduct. And it reads .rccg does not field circular musicians on it outreaches or programs they didnt say pasuma will not come to church or anything the like simple, you quoting john,Matthew ,harlot, tax collector ,simply makes you a buzy body. OK tell pasuma to refund the money now…the money is gone for good ,that tell you all you need to know,what is he then trying to give people of God. According Christian conduct pasuma must lot let to speak or minister ,his still a babe ,you know what he could have return the money .that could have been Gods outreach massage to people from him. But you see his conduct now …many points to clarify but am stopping so far…
So u want pasuma to come dere and sing “orobokibo baba aliya oya file jule” tell me how that is going to change a life, they will simply turn d church to a den of thugs
Haa
Using pasuma to draw sinners is extremely wrong if u think its just to draw sinners,they can as well introduce the performances of pornstars to draw more sinners
Shaaaaa what even made the pastor think of inviting such person to mount the alter of God? Nt that I’m bragging bout my church o but a deeper life pastor in his wildest dream won’t dare such.
Gospel music imparts life positively. It brings down God’s glory/presence cos God inhabits the praise of His people. It also prepares heart to receive God’s word. No need to start condemming/abusing one another for this is not right as brehtren in Christ. Prayerfully give out handbills and other media avenues, and saturate the crusade atmosphere with prayers and praises -gospel music- to register God’s presence. Spiritual alertness matters in a crusade ground; prayers will be going on, God’s praises will be going on to register His presence and other godly activities to get hearts prepared. Then when the Word finally comes, God will honour His Word and draw souls unto Himself – Salvation! Am not perfect, am still learning as the Lord leads. Live For JESUS
we dt even know the one to dance to in all this comment ,we need the God to intervain
I only hv one question to ask pls,can darkness nd light be together?
please pasuma dont return that money to any body bcs there are the one that breach the contract and pastor take good lawyer and sue the so call rccg to court for sacking you
Right Jesus Christmas come because of the sinner,even the bible says that go ye into the world and preach the gospel,there Jesus was referring to the believers, pasuma is not a gospel musician, he also need Jesus, he is not in a right position of singing in the crusade, but he can be there,mayb by inviting him,he can be changed there,he might discover himself there,so I guess it’s good as the program was cancelled, and I don’t think there is any need for pasuma to return the money,God saves
In the holy bible, when Jesus was thought to be chasing out evil spirit with evil spirit, he responded thus, saying, can we ever rebuke evil with another evil, it’s impossible. So as to this issue of this crusade cos this thugs coming to this crusade are all of different motives, some to steal, some to rape, some to pick pockets and some to cause pandemonium. Mind you no matter wat the number of securities there, pasuma wil be there priority in terms of protection….. You won’t be surprised at the end it wil be such a waste cos even the believers won’t gain anything and their will be casualties
D church has their own doctrine, so we should respect that. It’s just like c and s don’t wear shoes to church. It’s a doctrine. D pastor should b able to abide by d rules
