Christianity, RCCG, Pastor Adeboye, Math, Politicians & Legacy -By Nneka Okumazie

The success of any true Church may look like the work of an adept leader, but the architecture for the success of the Christian Faith was laid by Christ. True Church leaders are like pipelines.

The Redeemed Church is such that to ask, what kind of success is this? Who could have wrought this wonder?

Pastor Adeboye, the known leader of the Church did what seemed like anyone else could have done but did it countless times better.

He emerged from mathematics.

He could have gone on to win one or more of the most prestigious awards in math, Fields Medal, Abel Prize, or the Millennium Prize.

He would have become the first African to do so.

His intellect showed incredible promise.
He aced national competitions and pursued applicable works [hydrodynamics].

The splattering strength of his rare intellect and his altitudinal ambition would have made him prove major theorems, or to maybe develop his own conjecture.

Adeboye the math man could have extremely excelled – if he stayed on.

He had said he wanted to be the youngest university head – which, assuming he did, would have maybe lasted two terms, and then gone on to lecture elsewhere to have time to work on major models.

RCCG is across nations around the world.
The impact of the Church remains immeasurable. Its model for success in an African continent of common failures should have shown how to get things to work.

RCCG is also dynamic. The Pastor, with his style and preferences, allows dynamism with his people, steering clear of insisting on blank imitation.

RCCG is a Church with the philosophy for domination and like a Church at war. Some disdain them for seeking to be everywhere and label them inaccurately.

What should predominance look like? One corner in one place? How is advantage built? Feigned strength that hasn’t been tested?

The Church is like a country that has military bases in many places. The Church is like in a total war. Though testimonies mean little to some, but many have had deliverance through Christ from situations beyond current medical and technological advance. There are healings and breakthroughs that without the Church in some place and at some point, would not have been.

Whoever is delivered, free, or enjoying the blessings of the LORD, who decides to do nothing more with it, is that individual’s responsibility.

Any member, or Pastor in some position is not to be lectured by the Pastor on how to lead, govern, or do whatever else they do. Scriptures first, everything else, their passion, prerogative, etc., is on them.

The Church is not to be what anyone wants it to be. The Church should be what Christ wants it to be.

There would be people in the Church whose Christianity is an ID or a pass, without being spiritually minded. There would also be people in the Church who are genuine Christians who would follow Christ no matter their possession or problems.

The Church is not the government. The Church is not a philanthropic contraption.

Major philanthropy organizations around the world who have spent and spent on Africa have seen results in some immunization and some other metrics, but Africa is still underdeveloped so it is not philanthropy that would cure underdevelopment.

The Church has a greater duty to discuss honesty. How are people going to be more honest and have true integrity? How should there be fairness? Using faith, how can there be better experimentation?

Faith – is a problem most of the critics of Pastor Adeboye has with him, and the Church.
Pastor Adeboye came from an era of Christianity with smaller gathering full of mostly prayer viewfinders, so when they hear prophecy, or speak in the Christian beliefs against impossibility, they know it is possible with the LORD GOD Almighty.

But in the era of media exposure – in part to reach members, and in part to rescue others, those with other business have taken to criticism.

Yes, anyone can doubt or question anything, but doubt does not mean accurate.

Also, everyone is loyal to something or impressed by something. Love and loyalty to Christ works.

Some critics use the standard of science – but science is totally different from the true Christian Faith.

Science strives on experiment and evidence – but the fact of science can change with new evidence, new instrument, or proof. Science pursues progress for the world, but Christianity has answers for this world and life after.

Science and technology cannot solve evil, wickedness, greed, lust, hate, envy, pride, vengeance, bitterness, strife, structured deception, etc.

Some aspects may seem like they could try, but not the domain of science and tech. JESUS saves.

RCCG is not the problem of Africa. Pastor Adeboye is not responsible for decisions of individual Church members – though does not sound nice to say, but probably true, as many would lay everything to his fault.

In this life many choose comfort, or gravitate towards it, many choose power, to use it, leverage it or be seen around it, some choose beauty, show, prominence, corruption, fraud, bribery, but some people choose death.

Death – as per ready to lose their life, in shame, poverty, hardship, discomfort, sickness, in peril, just to gain Christ, the Savior.

Pastor Adeboye may or may not appeal to many others, but for the rest of life on this earth, he has left an unforgettable mark.

On any metric of success, he has achieved.
RCCG bears the LORD’s covenant – and the Church is of the blessings of Jehovah.

For RCCG, all will be well.
