Pa Omolehin: A True Witness

---

THE ALMIGHTY, IN HIS MERCY…

The Almighty, in His mercy, never leaves His people without a true witness. And in many ways, Pa Isaac Omolehin may well be the Old Man in the Molue. I didn’t know him — hadn’t even heard of him — until two or three months ago, when a one-minute TikTok clip found its way to me.

When I write about the Old Man in the Molue, I am not being poetic or funny. I mean it. I am convinced the Lord is far more likely to meet me in the back seat of a Molue than in the first-class cabin of a jumbo jet (or worse, a private jet).

I loved his rebuke of Pentecostals:
“...the financial recklessness — that you are putting the tithes and offerings of the people into it.”

That line struck like thunder.

When I began this Molue journey, I was mocked. But today, I see megastars of evangelicalism quietly retracing their steps, repenting — slowly, cautiously — from the false gospel of prosperity.

I will throw a party the day Chris Oyakhilome publicly renounces the heresies he preaches. But I’m not holding my breath.

THE SIN OF SILENCE

Here is the truth: you cannot love Jesus and sit on the sidelines saying, “Let God be the judge of them.” You cannot lull yourself into inaction and excuse the betrayal of Christ by twisting Scripture: “Judge not, that ye be not judged.”

If you leaned on Solomon’s judgment as your excuse, perhaps there would be merit. If you said, “Rather than kill the gospel, let the thieves continue their work,” then at least you would be admitting they are thieves — but have decided to let God sort things out.

But to refuse to have an opinion about those who have turned the Lord’s house into a den of thieves? Does that not make you an enemy of the very gospel you claim to defend?

Are you not like the wicked servant who buried his talent?

Understand this, my friend:
Silence is saying, “Let God be the Judge.”
But that is not holiness. Neither is it wisdom.
Your silence betrays the very work of salvation you claim to uphold —
and that betrayal makes God weep.

PA OMOLEHIN SPEAKS

“Is it not scary that the World Council of Churches released papers showing that out of the 10 richest pastors in the world, five of them are Nigerians?

But out of the 10 richest churches in the world, none of them is Nigerian. There is no Nigerian church there.

The Roman Catholic Church is the richest church in the world. The Pope has no private jet.

You Pentecostals, with your brandishing and financial recklessness — you are putting the tithes and offerings of the people into vanity. At the end of the day, it’s your church. It’s not Jesus’ church.

Many of the churches I see today are not Jesus’ churches. They are the pastors’ churches.”

He continued:

“This house has been broken into by thieves. This present house is collapsing.

‘Who among you saw this house in its first building, and how does it look now?’

There are more who are damaging the house than those who are repairing it. Those damaging it have social media, money, and the spotlight. Those repairing it have none of these. They are looked upon as primitive.

But the spoilers will fight back. Those who profit from corruption hate those who seek repair.”

And then, softly, he concluded:

“Everyone who joins the repair ministry signs a death warrant. Those who repair the house of God are endangered species.”

MAY THE LORD COMFORT HIM

At his age — faithful, unbent, still weeping for the Church — Pa Omolehin embodies what it means to be salt and light.

May the Lord comfort this great Man of God,
and strengthen all who labour to repair the house of the Lord.

STOP PRESS

Pa Omolehin is in the news again:

Rev Isaac Omolehin, accused the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria of “hypocrisy and quiet hostility” despite the body’s public denial that it ever attempted to block the cleric from preaching.

Speaking with Saturday PUNCH, Omolehin’s ally insisted that the PFN repeatedly hindered the veteran preacher’s ministry across Nigeria and abroad—actions he described as “consistent, deliberate, and conveniently denied.”
