Pastor Sam Adeyemi and his twisted narrative on his dreams, by Richard Akinola 11

A pastor granted an interview with Seun Okinbaloye in Lagos and netizens are busy sharing that he had japa-ed because of ordinary dream.

How can you say someone japa and you are making reference to his interview granted in Nigeria? Does that make sense? The same person they claimed japa, in the past one year that he had been back in the country, had appeared on TVC’s Journalists hangout and Teju baby face podcast, yet, some are still writing that he had japa.

People are too lazy to make proper findings.

The dreams he talked about happened about four years ago and the man had been back in the country over a year ago.

He is my pastor (though we have never met)and the first Sunday after he came back, he spoke for about 30 minutes, talking about his three-year experience.

He is strong on the issue of teaching on leadership and he felt satisfied that the church grew bigger in his absence, to show that a church should not be built around just an individual but through proper leadership structure that can make a church function effectively without the set man.

If you don’t believe in dreams, it’s your prerogative. Don’t make someone else look foolish if he says God warned him about certain dangers in the dreams and asked him to stay back in the US till He gave the go ahead to return.

You can make a mockery of this but that doesn’t change the fact. The only area l disagreed with him was going into details. He could simply had said “God told me to stay back in the US” without going into details because social media have a way of twisting narratives.

If today’s social media generation were to be around when Jesus was born and God asked his parents to take him to Egypt to hide him from Herod who wanted to kill him, netizens would have pooh-poohed such God’s directive. They would have questioned Jesus’ parents thus- “which angel spoke to you in the dream to hide Jesus in Egypt?

Sebi He says your son is the Saviour, so why can’t he protect His son from Herod?” See Matthew 2:13-16. God’s ways are not our ways. Selah
