Okotie under fire for rejoicing over TB Joshua’s death

Rev. Chris Okotie, Shepherd Su­perintendent of Household of God Church, Oregun, Lagos, has been flayed with words over his comment on the demise of Pastor Temitope Joshua of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

Okotie on Tuesday called the de­parted televangelist a “wizard”, tag­ging his death as divine judgment.

He also mocked T. B Joshua’s disciples and those who have been mourning his exit.

Okotie on his Facebook page wrote: “Hebrews 1:13… Sit at my right hand until I make your ene­mies your footstool (Hupopodion/ Greek)

“The wizard at Endor who as­sumed the title Emmanuel has been consumed by divine indignation. And now his disciples bewail his ignominious exit.

No marvel, one-third of God’s an­gels followed the disgraced anointed cherub Lucifer!!

“Jehovah-Jesus our mighty gladi­ator has broken the head of the drag­on with his mighty blows. He has de­scended from the mountain of spices with the fiery sword of his indigna­tion. Glorious in his apparel and trav­elling in the greatness of his strength, he goes conquering and to conquer the adversaries of his church.

Let those who swear by the Lord and by Malcham and the de­scendants of Haman, now tremble in fear. The day of the vengeance of our God has fully come to Nige­ria. And they shall not escape. Op­eration Hupopodion (footstool) has commenced. More Power To You !!! Rev Chris Okotie”

A reply by Adekunle Adewunmi read: “This is an irresponsible state­ment from someone like you. He has impacted the world by his ministry and gone to be with the Lord yet you won’t let him rest in peace, I pity your church members who are blindly following you.”

Ahmed Olumuyiwa Ayodele: “Oga go and sit down!!! So when they mention men of God now, you too will stand up as one? I only pity your followers’ whom you have used your big irrelevant grammars to deceive.”

Anthony Opo Okonkwo added: “This is not Christ-like! It’s so ab­horrent to mock a fallen soldier of Christ. Just stop!”  (Text from Daily INDEPENDENT)
