#COZA: ‘God Is Cleansing His Church’ Says Nathaniel Bassey

Nathaniel Bassey, a popular Nigerian gospel artist is being dragged on social media over his post Pertaining to the Rape allegation levied against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.

He wrote from a biblical perspective in his post – he is of the opinion that the allegation is a church affair as it involves two Christians as such should be settled as a family affair. That it is against the covenant, and a sin against the body of christ of which Christ is the head.

He also stated that the rape accusation is a clear sign that God is cleansing his Church. Nigerians had taken to social media to show their disapproval about his statements and also question him further.

As in every stand so far, there’s always a for and an against. Some people are in support of his stand. Should church elders be settling a crime case? What are your thoughts on this Nigerians.

Thanks for joining the Live session. Highlights 1. Even in this turbulent times. God is purging His church. And things that can be shaken are shaken. 2. The care to not react, but respond after careful consideration. And the importance of following the word. 3. The need to have the elders go to the root of this. No sweeping under the carpets this time. As the blood of Jesus only works in the light. 1 John 1:7. I also called on other people with evidence to come forward. And just to add, if need be, redress must be sort in the court of the land. I also mentioned that this was a good opportunity to bring to the fore sexual abuse going on in church. Eg, RAPE. I called for continued prayers and not just mere talking. And prayers should be along this line, THAT GOD’S PURPOSE for this be fully established and implemented. Also, stated that this is a wake up call to every one of us Ministers in MUSIC OR WORD (especially those leading a double life) . As there seems to be a change in status quo. The end of all of this must be the salvation of soul. Reading from 1 Cor 5, Paul speaking concludes by saying this. James 1:19, James 3:15-18, I Cor 6, 1 Cor 5, Proverbs 18:13. I John 1:7
