NOT ALL ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AGAINST PASTORS ARE TRUE – by Ayo Akerele

“My father sleeps with me” was the music on her lips while she stood before the General Overseer of the ministry. The father who was also a pastor in this same ministry also sat in this disciplinary meeting with the wife and a couple of other people.

In utter disbelief at what he was hearing, he began to make vows–almost placing himself under curses, “AM I MAD, HOW CAN I BE SLEEPING WITH MY DAUGHTER?’.

The wife yelled and cried. No wonder, you are always in prayer and fasting mode. So, this is what you do to find pleasure, and you always tell me that you are on a special prayer retreat?. The wife was inconsolable. I am done with this marriage, she yelled.

The GO and his wife descended on the man, “you are suspended from today, and I would spare you the pain of making this public because of the name of our church”. The pastor broke down–still maintaining his stance, “I did not sleep with my daughter and have never in my life”.

Then, the accused pastor looked for a private investigator to help him unravel the mystery behind this allegation–which everybody believed, anyway. Fortunately, he found a pastor who specializes in investigating such allegations against ministers. He is like a private investigator, and I have got access to him.

The investigator asked him, “did you sleep with your daughter” to which he replied, “never in my life”. To cut a long story short, the private investigator did a thorough investigation and after his findings were collated, he fixed a meeting with the lady in question and some other key people.

On this final day when the matter reached the climax of the resolution, and after all holes in the allegation have been found, the lady, the pastor himself, the wife of the pastor who had since left home, the siblings and the investigator sat on a round table, and to their amazement, the lady said, “I am sorry, my dad did not sleep with me”. The wife nearly collapsed.

The investigator asked, “why have you done this? who paid you”?. Then the mystery was revealed.

Inside this church were a lot of witches who had been working silently on the church. They had caused so much damage to a lot of families. They had actually taken over the church, manipulating the GO and all his leadership to do so many terrible things.

But the only person disturbing their activities from reaching the climax was this other pastor. They were on the brink of completing a particular work in the church, but this man was a fiery prayer warrior, and he became the angel of the church. They attacked him with adultery, he didn’t fall. They attacked him with greed. He didn’t fall.

Finally, they gave poison to this same daughter–mandating her to poison his food at home. The daughter put poison in her dad’s food at home, but the man on each occasion and as his custom was would pray a simple prayer, and eat up all the food the daughter had prepared.

Then out of frustration, the final plan was hatched, “we have to use incest to lie against him”, and only this same

daughter can fit into the picture. That was what made this same daughter lie against him that he slept with her–a strategy that eventually worked and had him ejected from the church to allow these witches unfettered access to the church.

The lady was used by a group of occultic pastors operating in that church to get rid of the man of God because he was frustrating their operations in that church through his prayers and teachings. And they succeeded in getting rid of him. But now, he had lost everything. The wife broke down in tears. The pastor was vindicated. And now they are trying to reconcile with him.

From my little experience as a Christian and as a minister, I have come to realize that NOT ALL ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT against a man of God are always true. Believers, let’s be very careful before we rush to social media to spread information we can’t prove.

Even if you can prove it, it is not the spirit of God that will inspire you to bring the matter to social media for mockery. Some people’s inspiration in life comes when great men fall. There is nothing more devastating to me than when a man of God falls.

I don’t rejoice in people’s fall because I am also fallible. In some cases, the man of God can be the culprit. In some other cases, the man of God can be the victim. I have dozens of cases where it is the women actually setting up the man of God and stalking him with pictures and text messages.

Some of my pastor friends have received unsolicited nude pictures from strange women they didn’t even know. I can’t be sharing my own experience of being stalked and set up. Thanks to God’s mercies for delivering me in every instance.

In 2002, a lady invited me to her home for a birthday party, an invitation I bluntly turned down. She did everything to woo me, but the alarm blew in my spirit that I must never be there. Note: nothing is wrong with visiting people to celebrate with them, but this particular scenario was different.

Apart from the fact that I will never visit any woman alone, regardless of the circumstances at hand, I sensed in my spirit that I should not be in that birthday celebration. A few days later, I discovered that she was not celebrating any birthday party, but had only set me up. I was the only guest she was expecting. I would have been totally ruined today!!. So many stories in my head. Thank God for his mercies.

While it is true that some pastors are culprits who take advantage of innocent women, it is also true that a lot of pastors are victims, and Satan is a major investor in the business of destroying ministries with false allegations. The place for any man of God to stand is the place of wisdom.

Be very careful about where you go and whom you relate with and if you are being stalked, speak out to mature people who can hold you accountable so that when the woman goes public with any allegation, they will be able to defend you. And for the really bad guys who are ruining the lives of innocent ladies, please repent and come back to Christ.

This world is very complex and wicked. Any matter you didn’t see with your eyes or have cast-iron scientific proof about, do not join people to believe it let alone judge the victims. Paul Kattupalli in his teaching identified three types of women who claim that they have been abused;

1. Real Victims (those who were actually abused);

2. Fake Victims (evil people who were not abused but who just want to bring down the ministry);

3. Innocent Fake Victims (people with mental health problems who are looking for a means of attracting sympathy from the public).

If there is no face-to-face proof or a piece of scientific evidence, only God and the people involved know the truth. And even when we have first-hand evidence about such matters, we are still not the judge. We can only correct in love, and pray for the people involved to heal and to be restored.

Shalom!!!
