The senior pastor, Shepherd Baptist
Church, Obanikoro, Lagos, Rev. Israel Kristilere, has advised pastors to
stop hobnobbing and praying for corrupt leaders.
He, however, recommended that they
should.....
focus their prayers on the nation so that God could turn things
around for the good of all.
Kristilere, who gave this advice on
Tuesday while briefing journalists on his ‘just worship’ programme,
which he said would come up later this month, said it would be a praise
night for God to enthrone righteousness, and progress in the nation.
He said, “Men of God should not be seen
hobnobbing with or praying for corrupt leaders. It is time for men of
God to preach the truth, and not for them to take money from corrupt
politicians to build gigantic churches. Religious leaders should preach
righteousness.
“At present, we have so many messages
that are not leading people to righteousness but they focus on
prosperity and materialism. I am not against prosperity, but I believe
that prosperity without righteousness is no prosperity.”
