Jesus wept!!! Pastor Femi Aribisala of Healing Wings church just attacked or EXPOSED Pastor Adeboye in the 'worst way ever'!!! I just left his personal website where he posted the article and mehn..., what he wrote was too revealing and I'm sure this is going to go viral on the internet any moment from now!
I was speechless reading it! In fact, I read it with my mouth opened from beginning to the end, because the way he attacked Pastor Adeboye was too revealing!!! It was like, you've been waiting to expose someone for years! The way he was quoting Pastor Adeboye, word-for-word, I'm sure he must have been doing some research and he had bottled them up, waiting for Daddy G.O to say what he said last week.
I must warn you that, if you don't really know Pastor Adeboye, you'll be tempted to believe everything he said, but who am I to take sides. I'm just doing my job. So, the next word you're going to read are the exact words of Pastor Femi Aribisala as copied from his website. Please be nice in your comment.
“I have houses in at least 188 countries in the world,
so I am richer than Bill Gates.” (Adeboye).
"Recently, a friend took me to the jewel-in-the-crown of the Redeemed Christian Church of God; a glitzy parish called “City of David” in Victoria Island, Lagos. Displayed resplendently on a wall in the church-office is a design of their current building project; a 14 storey architectural extravaganza titled “Trinity Towers.”
Is Redeemed still a church or is it now essentially a business concern? The Trinity Towers project shows the lines are now totally blurred. Jesus warns: “No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Matthew 6:24). Nevertheless, this Tower of Babylon being built with church funds is designed both for the worship of God and for the worship of money.
The project is an appeal to crass commercialism; a blatant celebration of wealth. In this poverty-stricken Nigeria, the foundation of the building alone is expected to cost over 2 billion naira. Side-by-side with a 5,000 seat auditorium for church services are high-brow restaurants, cafeterias, indoor swimming pools, cinema halls, gymnasiums, retail shops, games arcades, lawn tennis courts, relaxation spots, and a helipad as the crowning glory. Of what relevance is all this “supermarket” in a church?
Anointing for carnalityA church-member, overwhelmed by the grandeur of it all, buttonholed me in the hallway. I did not know him from Adam, nevertheless, he held me hostage as he waxed lyrical about how the Redeemed Church was, to use his words: “taking over.” “We have already got the vice-presidency,” he said. (The vice-president of Nigeria is now a Redeemed pastor). “Next we will get the presidency,” he continued; “and then we will get DSTV;” (a South African satellite television network).
The anointing for this pride of life flows right from the top. The General Overseer of the Redeemed Church is Pastor Adeboye. A few years ago, he decided he needed a billion naira without which his “work of God” could not be done. So he confounded the Christian faith by establishing a “millionaire’s club.” To be a member, you had to hand over a million naira to him in Jesus’ name.
Thereafter, he upped the ante by calling for a...
“billionaire’s club.” He announced that he would be building an auditorium that can only be described as “fantabulous.” It would be a ginormous three kilometers in length and three kilometers in breadth. This project is clearly more designed to get Adeboye into the Guinness Book of World Records than it is to get the members of Redeemed into the kingdom of God.
Declared Adeboye on that occasion: “We need 1 billion naira from ten people. If you are one of them, please see my personal Secretary after we finish today.” Who are those likely to have this kind of money to give in the Nigeria of today except those who have cornered public funds? Thereafter, an announcer sought to know the members of the church who were “willing to join hands with our Father in the Lord to build a new auditorium to God’s glory.”
Vanity upon vanityThe proposed auditorium is not to the glory of God. The proposed auditorium is to the glory of Adeboye. Adeboye’s project is reminiscent of Saul’s, who built a monument to himself. (1 Samuel 15:12). Nowhere in the entire New Testament was money ever collected for putting up a building. Money was only collected for the poor. The temple of God is no longer a physical building. The temple of God is now Jesus Christ.
Pastor Adeboye is getting increasingly carried away by vanity. I have a tape of a question-and-answer session he had with his church-workers a number of years ago in which he boasted that the time would soon come when, before anybody could aspire to be president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he would first have to talk to Redeemed Church. Nothing in the scriptures can be construed as suggesting this as one of the stated objectives of Jesus Christ.
A Redeemed church-member told me of another meeting he attended captioned: “A Day Out with the G.O.” It was a dinner for financial sponsors of one of the annual “Holy Ghost Festivals.” Pastor Adeboye boasted tongue-in-cheek on that occasion that the time would soon come when the Queen of England would plead to join Redeemed in order to work as an usherette. The audience reportedly responded with wild applause and shouts of “Amen.”
Richer than Bill GatesAt the just-concluded 63rd Annual Convention of the Redeemed Church, Adeboye declared that he is now richer than Bill Gates; widely acknowledged as the richest man in the world. He said: “I have houses in at least 188 countries in the world, where we have our churches, so I am richer than Bill Gates. Each time I visit these countries, my children would be struggling and saying daddy, come and stay with me.”
These “houses” don’t belong to Adeboye; they belong to Redeemed church. Knowingly or unknowingly, Adeboye distorts the gospel. Jesus says: “All who have given up home or brothers and sisters or father and mother or children or land for me will be given a hundred times as much. They will also have eternal life.” (Matthew 19:29).
However, Jesus words are spirit. (John 6:63). Therefore, his “houses” are entirely spiritual, while Adeboye’s are physical. Jesus does not make his disciples richer than Bill Gates. Instead, he says: “God will bless you people who are poor. His kingdom belongs to you! But you rich people are in for trouble. You have already had an easy life!” (Luke 6:20/24).
Adeboye continued: “If I announce here that tomorrow morning, I need a car to travel to the new auditorium, how many cars do you think would be made available to me by you my children? Those of you that do not have a car of your own, very soon, God will give you your own cars. So, I am appealing to you to become an incurable soul winner before you leave this convention ground and your cup will overflow.”
Anathema to ChristThis is nothing but the enticing word of man’s wisdom. Believers don’t preach the gospel in order to receive cars. We do because God commands that we do so.
Jesus had neither chariots nor horses. He had no lands and houses. Indeed, he warned a prospective disciple who wanted to follow him they would not be staying at the “Sheraton Hotel:” “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” (Matthew 8:20).
Jesus does not speak like Adeboye. He says: “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master.” (Matthew 10:24-25). Jesus’ example is anathema to Adeboye’s declaration that he is now the richest man in the world.
This is the word of Jesus the Adeboyes of this age choose to ignore: “It’s terribly hard for rich people to get into the kingdom of heaven! In fact, it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into God’s kingdom.” (Matthew 19:23-24).

Mr writer, were u there when he said all this? If u were not there, u can like to shut up already. Thank u
You are right we av misplaced piority in christianity I don't get it any more it's all moni moni moni.instead of sharing d moni to d poor na wa o diaris god o
Pls don't die in poverty. Who ever that publish this has poverty mentality. Pls ask the way out if u don't know the way to kingdom prosperity
Not until u carry gone or u beg for arm that u become rich or it is not when u become poor that u make this heaven
In fact when u are poor u will be tempted to still or. Covet another man's property. Pls be wise
I think people need to get their facts right before publishing nonsense really.. If a simple Joke is taken out of context, then u must need to check ur brains.. If RCCG is in over 188 countries and G.O says he has houses there, is it not obvious he said that kos he has children who technically have houses and live in these countries. Nigerians are d problem of Nigerians. God can bless every body if he chooses too, if u are angry or pained.. Prayer is free, pray for ur own blessing, annointing and houses..wont it be wonderful sef if today we hear that the world richest man is a Christian? Rant on and on for all I care but to me, this write up is Baseless and one thing I know, people are too quick to judge n read good intentions out of context. If RCCG brags like u claim, why is the new auditorium being delayed? Why was it not built in two months or something? Pls get ur facts right and stop talking based on them say them say.. Everyone knows G.O is way way humble and he says a lot of jokes so pls don't carry his matter on ur head like as clueless writer. If u don't know what to write, write about sambisa forest or boko haram members.
Bros what ever u say is ya concern. Children of GOD should be the Richest in this world. I'm on my way O soon I too will be talked about.
Thanks Mr femi for the great write up,I know most of you have been blind folded with the tricks and lies of your so called men of GOD,you better wise up and understand most of them are after money,the writer is correct......Christians stand up and fight your so called
so is Daddy E.A ADEBOYA dat even d blind knows he is a man of GOD dat u re talking 2 lik dis abi? D thunder way go visit u for touching the anointed is stil doing press up. & 2 anybdy supporting dis man, may d GOD OF ADEBOYA don't spare u tins as well IJMN I PLEAD
Every point raised here was picked 'out of context. '
When Pst Adeboye said he has houses in 188 nations, he was not talking of the church, but of members who would gladly take him in.
We should be careful how we judge men of God, ' touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm' says the Bible.
The writer is SO RIGHT, this is why we're so poor and backward because we chose to worship the likes of ADEBOYE. I like in the UK and the white Christians do a lot of charity work, live the most modest lives and the churches are not edifices neither does those leaders fly on PJ. You lot should stop giving your money to the likes of ADEBOYE etc.
Dear Mr. Aribisala, Please Shut- UP! I was at the referenced Holy Ghost Convention and what Pastor Adeboye said, and i Quote is this "If Bill Gates wants to stay in any part of the world, he'll have to pay for the best hotels but if i want to stay anywhere, all i have to do is make an announcement and my children all over the world will be more than eager to accommodate me, free of charge". The houses neither belong to him nor the church, rather he was trying to emphasize that when God prospers a man, it goes beyond physical wealth and extends to goodwill. Bill Gates has the money while Pastor Adeboye has the goodwill which enables him get things without having to spend a dime, hence being 'richer'. I ordinarily would not have responded to write-ups like this but evil thrives when people stay quiet in the face of blatant distortion of truths by wicked men such as this. May God help us all.
i do not have time to read thru all u've written mr Femi, but the 2 pragraphs i read i know where u r coming from, i agree with some of things u wrote there like what is the essence of a swimming pool in a church but when it comes to beautifying the church with glttering stones i do not see how that is a problem, bcos if u r so knowledgeable u would av gone to the bible, make ur research before writing nonsense about poverty in the country, bcos of poverty in the country must God's house reek of it, did u not read of the temple Solomon built for God, of the gold- pure gold used there, have u not read that the streets of heaven is made of gold, should we not replicate God's throne with a place we're caling Him to come dwell in. Mr Femi pls spare me ur thrash, leave controversial topics as this out of ur write ups and u may become famous.
When u finish blabbing, u will gerrarahere.. Do u know why the new auditorium was built.. V u ever been to Convention ground? To see the crowd, to see how people suffer if rain falls on a program day.. Let judgement be for God and ofcourse, let God be d judge of every man according to his works.. So leave pastor alone and face ur own headache. To me, u should have other priorities rather than give ur self headache on what a man of God does or says.. And besides, u remember that scripture that means d earth is d Lord n d fullness there off, if God decides to bless his son abunduntly, it's none of ur business.. Pray for ur own blessings too.. I see resentment n anger In ur write up so do better next time..
Everyone has their own way of understanding things. This man happened to share his, and i think it's a very poor understanding. It can not be pure.
This is the first time I will post a comment on Tessy's blog but I had to do this because I can already begin to imagine the series of comments that will follow this.
Dear Mr Femi Aribisala, I am not a member of RCCG but I am a devout christian who understands the importance of what you claim is a distortion of the teachings of Jesus.
After reading your article, I really wonder why you are so pained about what is going on in this great ministry.
First, I can bet your money is not a part of what you have so harshly criticized. If so, why not mind your business and keep shut, those that gave for those projects are getting blessed and are not complaining. You might say they're being brainwashed but don't you wonder how they've been growing stronger and bigger despite the fact that you have so "cleverly" kept your money to yourself?
It's a principle of sowing and reaping and it has been proven over the years. People like you cannot understand it. You and as many others that share your optimism can keep your money to yourselves and they will do bigger things than what you've seen.
For the records, the church of Jesus Chris is beyond Sunday and midweek services. Get that straight!
You quoted (Matthew 19:29) and left out the part of the scripture that said ..."in this life and in the world to come"... Hypocrite. I guess you were so blinded by what you wanted to portray that you decided to distort the whole picture by quoting the scripture out of context.
I pray that God will forgive you and hope that you realise your error for posting such articles which in my own opinion is just to gain cheap popularity and attention.
I would have taken the time to reply your article paragraph for paragraph but that will be for another day.
Just get this straight.
The church of Gd will wax stronger and stronger until Jesus returns.
Nawaoo, This words are not for Pastors Adebayo alone but for every clergy and child of God.
Oga Aribisala, which one be your own? why the beef? Is the same bible that promised us that he which us above all things that we prosper. So Baba Adeboye is living in prosperity. CHIKENA
This post about Pastor Adeboye na wa oooo. After reading all the long babblings Oga Aribisala wrote, now I have to read big big long comments too. Kilode
vanity upon vanity. Save our souls Lord from the subtle device of the devil and the evils of this present world
Please thread carefully, even if u are correct which I am not saying that you are. You don't just talk about men of God like that. God is the owner of all souls and will determine what to do. You might have quoted Pastor E A Adeboye out of contest. Be warned.
Words for the wise...but now people will start cursing this man and totally forget d key message in this write up.
Dis is true..I use to respect adeboye dos days ..it seems now his into prosperity gospel ..well God help us all.
