RCCG: Mad Man Puts Church In Commotion As
Members Scampered For Safety During Service
IT was pandemonium when a ‘mad man’ dressed
and swaddled in multi-coloured fabrics saun-tered
in the worship centre of Glory Chapel of the
Redeem-ed Christian Church of God, RCCG,
Agbelekale, Abule Egba, Lagos, last Sunday sending
choristers, members of the church scampering in
every direction seeking safe haven.
The middle-aged man bran-dishing a heavy stone in
his right hand and a tiny piece of freshly sawed
piece of wood from a nearby carpenter’s workshop
was said to have walked out of the church almost
immediately but made a return bid, this time with
ferocious campaign just as the parish pastor, Pastor
Ladi Akinsanya was telling the congregants about a
special guest minister.
The entry of the ‘mad man’ interrupted the
announcement as worshippers made for any and
every escape route out of the church. Sensing the
mood of the church, a middle-aged man simply
identified as Baba Dominion was said to have taken
a bold step and grabbed the ‘mad man’ from behind
creating an opportunity for another to disarm him.
Pastor Akinsanya intervened at this moment,
screaming; “Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise
the Lord” and “Amen, Amen, Amen” interm-ittently
obviously trying to calm down the congregation su-
ggesting that the “mad man”, as it turned out an
evangelical drama minister, was one of the special
guests expected to minister at the service.
It took quite a while for me-mbers of the church to
settle down to listen to the mini-stration of the
“mad man” who immediately capitalized on the
confusion to begin preaching, saying “all sins are
like mad men before God and just you all were
running from me, so God Almighty will detest all
sins including female who deliberately entice men
via the exposition of their bodies, on the last day.”
He stressed the need for all those who are called by
the name of Jesus to be prepared at all times, for
the trumpet might sound any moment, stressing
that only those who are blameless will be raptured
and will reign with the Lord.
After the ministration, the outgoing pastor in charge
of RCCG Place of Refuge Area, Pastor Kola Ajiboye
who had come to introduce his replace-ment,
Pastor Gbenga Adesan-ya to the congregation,
prayed for the members and called on them to
cooperate with his replacement, adding that it was
imperative for him to go so that Elisha would begin
his ministry.
