First it was controversy over accountability. American evangelist, Benny Hinn said the $4million dollars he spent on the national healing crusade held in Nigeria was money gone down the drain.
But chairman of the committee that handled the programme, Bishop Olarenwaju Obembe said $1million and not $4million was spent on the event.
Now another whiff of controversy has come. Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, whose campground was used for the crusade, says Benny Hinn both ridiculed and embarrassed him.
**********************************
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has revealed how he was embarrassed by the American evangelist, Dr Benny Hinn on the last day of the controversial national healing crusade held recently in Lagos.
Apparently concerned about the controversy, which has been trailing the crusade, Pastor Adeboye told a large congregation of Pastors and ministers in his church at a special meeting that he gave out the expansive Redemption Campground to the organisers of the crusade free of charge.
“Let me tell all of you that I never collected a naira or dollar from anybody. I don’t know anything about four million dollars, every of our facilities used was given out free,” Pastor Adeboye told the pastors while addressing them at the church’s campground along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway where the controversial crusade also took place about four weeks ago.
Dr. Hinn had sparked controversy on the last day of the crusade when he openly expressed regret that the money he pumped into the project could have been put into better use. “Four million dollars down the drain!”, he reportedly shouted during the crusade.
Besides denying knowledge of how much was given and who got what, the highly revered General Overseer also narrated how he felt embarrassed by the way the American preacher treated him during the three-day programme.
While urging the church officials to imbibe the spirit of humility exhibited by Jesus Christ in his lifetime, Pastor Adeboye explained how he and his wife, Pastor Foluke, attended the three day crusade without being given any courtesy or even the honour of addressing the congregation as their host.
As if that was not enough humiliation, the General Overseer said on the last day of the crusade, Dr. Hinn addressed him publicly in a manner, which fell short of simple courtesy.
According to him, the American evangelist called him out to the stage and said;” I don’t know your name, but they say your name is Bro. Enoch, come let me pray for you.”
In spite of the open humiliation, Pastor Adeboye said he took that in good faith, adding that his consolation was that no pastor of his church would have treated a good host who provided a number of facilities for a crusade the way he was treated.
He admonished them that they should learn how to appreciate every little favour granted them by fellow men of God or others because God Himself cherished appreciation.
He urged them to take the message to their various congregations that he never collected or saw a dollar out of Dr. Hinn’s alleged four million dollars, which has become a subject of controversy.

If this really happened, then that's gross!

I doubt this.

Hmmm. The two dey anionted. Who we won touch now?

A case of let d anionted touch not my anionted.

What is the idea behind posting a story about an event that happened in 2005 as if it happened over the weekend

johndwayy:
Hmmm.....quite unfourtunate incident.
I like the humility displayed by Pastor E.A. Adeboye, this is really following the teachings of Christ instead of trying to attack the personality of Dr. Hinn, he gave a matured and clear response to Dr. Hinn's allegations. Let God be the judge and ultimately may His name be glorified.

I av alwys told u that no human is submissive.. No human is humble, it is a deliberate shot at pretence!

If he is humble as you have stated, why didn't he just take it in good faith and forget it. Clearly he was hurt, but he didn't want to talk so he won't be termed as being bad!

In his words, the other fake pastor is not humble, and pastor Adeboye is the saint here..

See, I'm a reedeemer, and I love pastor adeboye, but forget the humble part of human...

Nobody does.

Some of us are not good at handling our outbursts, some are..that it the difference!

Was about to write the same thing?

@OP-You must have an ulterior motive for bringing out this article to the limelight once more.

I just discovered that Seun created a thread on NL about this crusade sometimes in 2005

O.P, Why not get a Life,Get a Purpose for your Life!

Later you start blaming Goodluck Jonathan for your misfortune

Oh! You do not know!!! OP is just one of those posters that want to discredit the good works of men of God.

Could it be that OP created the thread to water-down Pastor Adeboye's defence of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. I suspect so

Reading your reference and abuses obviously betrays your claim to be a Redeemed (not redeemer). The Redeemed, just like every true Christian does not rain abuses. It does not exist in their DNA. If you are still raining abuses as it shows, it is either you are not who you claimed to be a"Redeemed" or I may be missing something. Please, stop abusive language and then we can start from there.

Now back to the topic, I only replied a post where the reader asked the same question I have also asked, what is the relevance of this topic of 9years old, today?

I think it shld be a case of Lack Of Supervision on d part of Adeboye, since he is probably d most senior man on round, and d host 4dat matter, he shld be held responsible if anyhin goes wrong. Hw was d money spent? What n what was done with d money?. Am nt happy abt wat transpired then cos I fink is one of d major reasons y d man of God no longer hav Nigeria in his schedule since 2005. Dats very bad image 2 creat about dis nation.

Chei!!

Are you serious? So na wetin happen that year be this? and we been no dey browse steady to read the tori...

Correct one, OP, abeg more catchups!

I don’t know your name, but they say your name is Bro. Enoch


Gawddddd Gawdddd!
Damnnn!

very relevant!!!

we learn from the past. Whether palatable or not information is relevant.
Whether good or bad a lesson can be learnt.

Some kid in some place just turned 9years and might be making their first attempt at using the Internet.

I read this back in 2006 when it happened, it was big news then. These thieves never cease to amuse me.

Haven't hear of it still won't imply the sh1t dint occurred and I reckon there are so many sordid religious controversies happening in Nigeria swept away from the public. Why won't the overseer be belittled by a white man when he what he only see a lost black man with no knowledge of his historical past who's happy to neglect the original spirituality of his ancestors in embrace of the same fictitious idol God that was used to justify the heinous enslavery of his people. Why won't he mock him as Bro. Enoch. Mstchew!

LMAO

You don't get it, I was indirectly asking - don't you check your email (the one your Nairaland account is registered with) cos I PMd you while expecting a response.

No wonder, I tried hitting you up but no response

See the goat contradicted himself in just one sentence.

First he urges his congregation to imbibe humility only for him to complain about not being given enough honor.

Why do ediots sheepishly follow these fake pastors?
