Some Pastors Have Monetised Christianity – Nigerian Evangelist, Omolehin
Evangelist Omolehin, Founder of The Word Commission International and The Word Assembly Churches in Ilorin, Kwara State, also accused the older generation of lack of proper mentoring of the youths.
Renowned evangelist Isaac Omolehin has criticized some pastors for monetizing Christianity amidst the numerous social and economic challenges facing the nation.
Evangelist Omolehin, Founder of The Word Commission International and The Word Assembly Churches in Ilorin, Kwara State, also accused the older generation of lack of proper mentoring of the youths.
The clergyman stated this on Friday while on a courtesy visit to the management of Graphic Newspapers to herald the activities marking his 50 years and retirement from active service in the vineyard of God.
He said, “the Nation is getting all sorts of evils as a result of the failure of the elites to give rightful direction and guides to the youths.”
Omolehin noted that all institutions of social change that would have moulded the actions of the young ones have failed in the responsibilities, which he pointed out has fueled high level of decadence in the country.
He decried the activities of some men of God and government officials, who flaunt their ill-gotten wealth which is an appetiser for the youths to emulate their misdeeds.
He frowned at some pastors, “who have commercialised and monetise Christianity even as the elites flamboyantly display their wealth in the midst of abject poverty.”
He called for a paradgm shift by all members of the society to return the country to the path of just and egalitarian society.
