I
have received too many reactions from various quarters in anger against the
very controversial but somewhat true statements of pastor Okotie. Please before
you condemn the words of Chris Okotie; it is worthwhile that you understand the
context from which he speaks. Be slow to anger lest you become as guilty as he
is. Recall that in 2002, God ‘personally’ told Pastor Okotie that he should be
the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2003. In that same year
(2003), he did not only lose the election to Olusegun Obasanjo, but was number
eight (8) in the electoral results ranking.
If
it was the same God that gave Obasanjo landslide victory over Okotie, then that
God is a liar. But anyone who is conversant with previous write-ups knows that we
have already established that God cannot lie since to lie is evil and evil is
the absence of good and goodness is the very nature of our God. It becomes pertinent
to know that he is yet to recover from the disappointment of a god who promised
him presidency and failed. As for me, I will not want to find myself in the
presence of a god who cannot guarantee common electoral success; for that is
the nature of the god that Okotie serves. Invariably, when Okotie says all Catholics
will go to hell, I think he could probably be correct since what we consider as
heaven may be hell to him. Or would you rather follow and find yourself in the
presence of a god who promises and fail?
