Pastors are humans! We tend to elevate these men beyond logic!

Bamss1:
Someone was trying to justify that preparation for the party has long been in motion before the Wigwe's demise and lots if money was already spent.
But why invite flavor? As a senior pastor why flavor? Wetin do Dunsin, frank, tope alabi Or even Sunny Ade?
It was just a show of gross insensitivity

Saao:
lol you don't no know rccg. Every assets are internally audited every year including title documents of all their properties. So is not possible for anyone to easily convert their assets, it will amount to theft

Lanre1st:


It's a business venture now, it brings huge revenue to Adeboye

Maxymilliano:
Next move is to float his own mega church like Ituah Ighodalo

ekhai:
THIS IS THE QUESTION I WANTED TO ASK. HOW CAN THE DEATH OF SOMEBODY AFFECTS THE PLAN OF ANOTHER PERSON. THAT MEANS IN THE RCCG, CLASS MATTERS. I PITY THE FINANCIALLY POOR MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH WHOSE DEATH WON'T BE NOTICED.

But i still subscribe to your perspective, the problem is that the Pastor and his household did not see church members as part of their immediate family

blowjohn:
Iluyomade was until last week, the pastor of the hugely 'successful branch'


I don't understand that part, 'successful branch'


How do u describe a church as being successful?

Is it in soul winning or number of attendees or what?

I think it's s wrong way to describe a church.
Makes it look like a business.

dalitigator:
Christianity and her Pastors are very funny.

God calls a Pastor in a ministry and the Pastor is attached to a church. Pastor faces disciplinary actions and then resigns God's calling. How are we certain God called these Pastors before?

LastProphet:
In the pastor's mind the Wigwes didn't have enough anointing, or they were not just having enough grace like him and his beautiful 60yr old wife, otherwise they shouldn't have perished like that. That's why they had no empathy to feel for the Wigwes. The moment you meet anyone that thinks they have a special sort of grace on their head, remind the dullard that they will never have half the grace of Myles Munroe and yet he perished like the Wigwes. The worst foooolishness is self delusion

Livadesh:
In Everything a man will be doing in this life, He must be very sensitive enough never grant all the wishes of the woman or women in his life. One thing we all fail to realize is that Pastor Iluyomade's wife pushed him into all these problems. The problem would have been evaded if the birthday was done on a low-key. Another I'm sure catalysed the whole saga is Flavor ( hip-hop artist ) that was the guest minister instead of the likes of Dunsin Oyekan 😆😆😆.

SavageResponse:


Well the church leadership is not angry with him because he invited Flavour to his wife's birthday bash, the main reason they are angry with him is the timing and flamboyance of the birthday party considering the fact that a major financial pillar of the church died in an accident less than a month before the party.

That party was very insensitive and disrespectful considering that almost the entire family of a very important parishioner was wiped out in one fell swoop!

jmichael259:
The UBA and FIDELITY bank directors, didn't they know that Wigwe died too? Did Access bank stop working for even a second because Wigwe died? Did the Wigwe family members starve or shut their companies because of the crash?
I have come to realise that we are nothing but a pack of bones covered with flesh. The world doesn't revolve around anybody. Nothing special happens when we die.

Jagaban2012:
Idowu Iluyomade resigning ...

I know ID ...he is so proud of himself, he is a GO of himself in that particular church ....perhaps he is coming back to send RCCG away from that big Edifice.....he is a lawyer he can decide to institute a law suite against RCCG. but whatever contrary efforts he is making against the RCCG God will turn it to foolishness....
RCCG brought him to.lightlime. And he should also be read to serve in a remote area.....

Gospel work is not only about Ikoyi, VI ...and other fine places ....there are many pastor colleagues in the bush area and villages....even Jesus went to Bethsida to preach ....this is a remote area where low income people stay in Israel ....

ID must be able to be flexible and adaptable to all terrain if truly he is serving God ...and not for personal gain

AdesegunSanni89:
This man should go further and convert that VI church into his own ministry. Redeem likes to use and dump. Oga no gree for them o

MrIcredible:

Let's say you plan to get married next week and your father, mother and two siblings dies in a road accident, will you go ahead with the wedding?
Wigwe in this case was a very prominent person in that church, not just an ordinary member...
Make una dey think before una talk.

AdesegunSanni89:
Maybe not but he mobilized the funds that built the church. [b]Many of the rich church members attend that parish because of him [/b]so that edifice is his handiwork

Clobisman:
It's either he is going to start his own church as the G.O or he will contest the ownership of the city of David building with the RCCG. If he wins then it will equally be like a continuation of a new start.

Skydivine:
People would say he proposed the parish under the grace of the GO . However, they must be something in him that attracts super rich people.
Someone that has dined and wine with mighty of the society is not just an everyday guy. He is not a push over.
Envy is the bedrock of this backlash. So many woujd want that position but a very few can sustain it .
May God not let us build for another to occupy.

teekay213:
why didn't your daddy G.O go to villages to preach or even Afghanistan. Do you know how Rome became a Vatican city today? Because the apostles and others laid down their lives

Druss:


Wigwe is not his parent and there is nothing wrong with the timing of the event. What it shows is that the families were not close friends. Also if the Wigwes were not rich, would you have an issue? As a pastor, I would postpone my celebrations if any member of my church dies. However if someone less famous had died in the past and no one batted an eyelid, it would be hypocritical of them to postpone it. It is GOD that gives the power to make wealth.

The issue I have with the pastor is the unnecessary behaviours he and his wife has shown in that role. They have forgotten their position and duties and allowed the fame to go to their head. To invite Flavour as a senior member of redeemed was a bad example of proper behaviour especially when you contrast the wife with most RCCG pastors' wives. Then again I have my own thoughts on spouses of church people being given a role based on their copulation.

Druss:


Separate topic. I see this comment increasingly being pushed around that GOD uses men and people tend to mean in all things he uses men. For me that is a dangerous comment, limiting GOD. When Paul and Silas were freed, did he use man to free them? When the ram was provided for Abraham and Isaac, did he use man? GOD may use man at times to accomplish works and support people but he can take a direct hand via angels or other beings.
