Onitsha, Anambra-based preacher and singer, Chukwuemeka Odumeje, popularly known as Indabosky, has taken on Household of God’s founder, Rev Chris Okotie for describing late Prophet TB Joshua as fake.
Okotie, it would be recalled, had days back released a video on YouTube where he lambasted Joshua. Prior to the trending video, Okotie has continued to insist that Joshua, general overseer of Synagogue Church of All Nations, with headquarters in Ikotun, Lagos was nothing but a magician and not a servant of God.
But rising in defence of Joshua, Odumeje literally accused Okotie of talking trash.
Said Odumeje in his own video which has also gone viral: “There is a man who doesn’t want the general to rest in peace and allow his family to mourn the general and the person is Chris Okotie. Young man, we have respected you enough, I have not seen you do anything in this life, save souls like TB Joshua did.
“And for you to come out to say TB Joshua was a devil and you began to analyse. Does answering Emmanuel mean I’m a devil? When I name my church synagogue, because I have a right to bear the name of my father, does answering the name of Jesus mean you are Christ?
“When you can’t do what a man can do, you have no right to talk about him because you are not in the same level and you don’t have the same qualification and you are not in the same spiritual balance.
“Before you open your mouth to speak about a man you must have done what he did, but when you can’t do such things, then you are not qualified to talk against him because he is too far from you; what you don’t understand don’t criticize it, what you need to do is to keep quiet. Talking against it makes you more childish. Chris Okotie, I’m still warning you. English is not our own language, go and deliver yourself first.”
Odumeje, alongside other preachers like Prophet Anene, Dr. Chris Okafor, Prophet Omotu Fufeyin, Prophet Joshua Iginla, etc had visited Joshua’s wife, Evelyn, to commiserate with her and the children – unlike other top-rate pastors.
Finally, Odumeje took a swipe at Okotie over his unfulfilled presidential prophesy, warning him to keep his mouth shut or incur his wrath, should he persist.
