I actually didn't want to post this with the other interview where Bishop Okonkwo lost his first daughter, but they are the same interview. It's part of blogging gimmicks. Lols.
I separated this interview because I have some objection to what he said and I'm sure you will too after reading his full excerpt.
In the same (Read It Here) interview with Vanguard to celebrate his 70th birthday, former president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and the presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), Bishop Mike Okonkwo said that men of God in Nigeria failed to help pray ex-President Jonathan out of the the spell cast on him while he served as president.
"I admire ex-President Jonathan so much, but he didn't have the gut to fight corruption. I will also blame the men of God. I will say the men of God, failed Jonathan. Because Jonathan was operating like somebody under some spell and we (the men of God) had the responsibility of taken him out of the spell, pray with him even for three days and whatever was holding him would have been removed.
But we did not do that. Probably, he...had the intention of doing the right thing but forces were against him and don’t forget he was not a matured christian. We would have taken him out and probably we would not be in this mess today" he said
It's not the fault of any man of God that he was not pray for. You can take a horse to the river, but you can never force him to drink water! Well, I may not say that every well, but that's the case with our ex President Jonathan. I'm sure there are thousands of men of God who can pray for him and deliver him from that so called spell, but how can you pray for someone who doesn't want to be prayed for.
Just saying sha!!!

You would have said this when he was in power and take action. Is too late now.
I wonder how many men of God it wouldav taken to cast a spell away? He alone wouldav done it na bt rather they were more interested in playing politics than praying for the nation except daddy adeboye though *he is amongst d few men of God I respect*
I see whatever happened as God's will,let no one say they did or failed to do.God will soon turn our country to a better & admired place.
So why didnt u deliver him? Had it been u won would u ve said dis
MEDICINE AFTER DEAD. I SENSE SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE. HOW MANY TIMES WERE SPELLS BROKEN FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE KING DAVID, SOLOMON, SAUL, ETC.
I agree completely with Bishop Okonkwo that ex-President G. E. Jonathan was under spells cast by two groups led by Madam Turai Yar'adua and Namadi Sambo respectfully which made him timorous, docile and weak. The spells could not be broken because as a Pentecostal christian he relied on Pentecostal ministers who operated as individually as isolated points of Divine grace. If GEJ were a Roman Catholic christian, the magnitude of the accumulated grace of God in that prehistoric organisation would have obliterated the spells. He should have ignored his Pentecostal confessions and embraced the spiritual guidance of the entire Roman Catholic Episcopacy.
Abegii!, what kind of spell?, d man was unrepentant all by himself, if u know d amount of money stashed in his closet, u wouldn't be saying this. Looks are very deceiving
Now he is out of power and he is saying all dis just to get him down. I refused to believe dat GEJ was under any spell. He was not capable dat was y he couldn't really fight corruption.
So who placed the spell on him then? I thought the CAN president was is buddy and followed him roundabout why didn't he notice the spell?
