Pastor Oyemade deletes his anti-Peter Obi tweet as it backfires

Pastor Poju Oyemade, the founder of The Covenant Nation (formerly the Covenant Christian Center) has deleted his tweet against Peter Obi rising political fortune as it brews controversy and receive immediate backlash from Obi’s supporters.

Oyemade tweeted, “Faith is not just blind belief or hoping for a miracle. Faith sees. Faith has her eyes opened and possesses the evidence upon which it builds its belief. Faith prepares long, sometimes for years just as Joseph did for the years of famine. Faith counts the cost before embarking.

“Without having real evidence upon which you are acting nor preparation for the task, recognising real obstacles that lie ahead and making concrete plans, one is just being delusional about the outcome. The enthusiasm of the youth must not be wasted on poorly planned projects.

“Noah spent months/years planning for the flood & he was operating in faith. Jesus said no man goes to battle without taking stock first nor lays the foundation of a tower without counting the cost first lest he will be mocked. Our faith is intelligent it doesn’t live in denial.”

The backlash was quick and corrective as Obi’s massive youth supporters responded immediately:

Is unfortunate, the men of God nowadays is worse than devil itself.

Pastor Poju is one I hold in a very high esteem, however, I was deeply disappointed by that tweet, whether it’s directed to OBIdient fans or not. It’s really sad such is coming from him. #PeterObiTheNationalist #PeterObi4President2023 #PeterObiForPresident2023
