Fatoyinbo is trending because Christ Apostolic Church CAC slammed COZA’s Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo for calling Apostle Ayo Babalola a poor man.
They described him as a prosperity pastor exploiting the alter, monetizing spiritual gifts and promoting corruption in an already morally decaying society. Yet, in same stroke, lectured him.
Last month, Fatoyinbo was teaching on why poverty could hinder a person’s ability to fully serve God.
Asking his congregation to focus, make money, so they they will be able to fully express their ministry. Because poverty kills ministry.
Then he hailed and in same breath said Apostle Babalola died poor, and his kids are no where. So, poverty kills ministry.
CAC in reaction added that, Babalola was not a poor man. As he drove the best cars, funded alot of people through education, businesses, skills, weddings etc.
And if he died a poor man as Fatoyinbo suggests, why did Queen Elizabeth II honor him in 1956, if he wore rags. Accordingly, his kids are old enough to be Fatoyinbo’s grand parents and 66yrs later, Babalola continues to impact lives.
They querried Fatoyinbo’s knowledge of the Bible. As his utterance goes against several teachings of the Bible itself. Reminded him that the measure of anointing is not in material wealth. And most of all, prayed wisdom for him.
Nigerians are in a split. Some feel CAC’s reply was unnecessary, as it only validates Fatoyinbo, and ignoring would have been better. Others thought the response was perfect and timely.
Babalola’s eldest daughter, Mama Ogini also responded to Fatoyinbo.
