I will not quote bible verses on this blog for now,
but the words of God says ‘’By their fruit you shall know them.’’ The names (Commonwealth
of Zion Assembly )COZA, Abiodun Fatoyinbo and Ese Walter are the most popular
among Nigerian of recent due to the fact that Ese claimed that she had a
week-long sexual escapade with the senior pastor of the church, Abiodun
Fatoyinbo.
However, since Ese Walter’s confession and that of
one Franca who also claimed that the pastor with ‘uncommon prophetic insight’
lured her to Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos, for a ‘romantic prayer, Biodun
Fatoyinbo has neither come out to refute or accept the allegation, but claimed
that he was still waiting for God’s order
God’s order indeed!!! While he was committing this sacrilege,
did he receive the order from God? Moreover, it was revealed that the silence
maintained by Pastor Biodun is having a negative effect on the church. This can
be seen when one of his church member said that many aggrieved members and deacons have
left the church since the authority of the church decided to sweep the matter
under the carpet and the population of the church was reducing drastically on
weekly bases.
“I think this started not quiet long. Last week was
even the worst; you could see empty seats everywhere,” the female member said.
When asked if the man of God had
come out to deny or admit the allegation, the member said they've warned them
never to talk about it anywhere, until he (Pastor Abiodun) hears from God.
“I think this is one of the reasons many members are leaving. The church authority had warned us never to talk about the issue until the man of God speaks, and I think many are beginning to find it hard to believe.”
“I think this is one of the reasons many members are leaving. The church authority had warned us never to talk about the issue until the man of God speaks, and I think many are beginning to find it hard to believe.”
It was revealed that members had
since called on the pastor to come clean on the adultery allegations, but he
prefers to remain silent until God says otherwise.
A member was quoted as saying, “God can’t ask you to keep quiet in this matter because his name is at stake too. The church of God is being accused here and the same God is telling him to keep quiet? That is immaterial, I can’t accept that.”

To me the best thing for this pastor to do is to
open up and say it as it is; tender an unreserved apology to his congregations,
his wife ,children and all the ladies in question if he actual committed the
sin and come out boldly to clear the air, rather
than ‘waiting for God to tell him when to speak.’’ A silence means concealment.
