WHAT HAPPENED TO PASTOR BIODUN'S ROBUST REPLY????

About 4 months ago, news of infidelity of a popular Abuja based pastor circulated around the social media. Ese Walter claimed that Pastor Biodun of COZA had a secret affair with her in a blog post she published. The Pastor neither accepted nor denied the claim, instead he promised a "ROBUST REPLY".

Ese Walter has since deleted the post while the response from  Pastor B is still not ROBUST enough to be published.

Many of us have moved on from the story but a publication caught my attention this afternoon which I deemed fit to share.

Ijabla Raymond wrote thus for Sahara Reporters..................

"It has been more than 4 months now since pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA ministries promised a “robust reply” to the scandal of sex allegation made against him by Miss Ese Walters, has anyone heard any reply at all? I gather he is still preaching and people are still going to his church.

My question is: where or when does one draw the line between an erring pastor and a "false prophet"? Before you belt out “touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm” may I quickly remind you that the Bible says to test all spirits? At what point did this pastor transform from a mere man into God’s “anointed” pastor? As far as I can see, all pastors claim that God has called and anointed them, and they are believed without any questions asked or undergoing a test. That’s the best evidence anyone ever gets: self-proclamation!! 

It’s not their mistakes or failures that one is concerned about, pastors are but humans and are liable to err like the rest of us; it’s the lack of accountability, humility, and abuse of trust that irks. Pastor Biodun has neither come out to deny the allegations nor shown contrition for abusing the trust of thousands of his followers. In spite of his attitude, his die-hard followers continue to bless him with their tithes and offerings, as they “catch” his anointing every Sunday. I hope he would show them some respect by coming clean with his “robust reply” soon. Better late than never, I’d say."

I am not a judge and will never be. You can draw your own conclusions or just ignore just like me. Shalom.
