The Christian cleric warned his congregation not to indulge in dubious and fraudulent practices, especially in business just to get ahead of others.
His words:
"If there is crisis in this Nation, I will be the last to leave here.
“Don’t rob nobody, don’t cheat on anyone. Don’t outsmart your business partners. Don’t swear falsely. Don’t take bribes. Favour is the companion of all that fear God and favour shall be your companion from now.
“Flowing in favour demands the doing of righteousness. You know there is the appropriation of righteousness that people emphasize today, but don’t be deceived, he that doeth righteousness is righteous. The doing righteousness: favour!"
Meanwhile, in a message that would annoy Nigeria's political leaders, the head of the House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin, had labelled the country a scam, adding that something must be done about it.
The respected cleric made this declaration in a video posted online.
