Of Wicked Servants and the Buried Gospel: When Silence Becomes Betrayal

Pa Isaac Omolehin. The True Witness

(#OldManInTheMolue | #MolueMonologue | #DonKenobi)

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 about two or three months ago, through a one-minute TikTok clip.

When I write about the Old Man in the Molue, I am not being poetic or funny.
I mean it.
Because 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 double-decker 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 hit like thunder.

When I began this Molue journey, I was derided.
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 himself renounces the many heresies he preaches.
(But I’m not holding my breath.)

The Sin of Silence

Here’s 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 misusing 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,”
at least you’d be acknowledging they are thieves—
and leaving the rest to the Holy Spirit.

But to outright refuse to have an opinion
about those who have turned the Lord’s house into a den of thieves?
You make yourself an enemy of the very gospel you claim to defend.

You are like the wicked servant who buried his talent.

And understand this:
your silence—thou wicked servant—
is what makes him weep.

A Man of God Who Weeps

I never thought I’d live to see a true Man of God weep for the Church.
(Those who follow the Molue know I rarely use that phrase without adding “so-called.”)

But Pa Omolehin…
In my humble opinion, he is a Man of God.

Your silence is what breaks his heart.

words that pierce through comfort and pride,
and lay bare the condition of the Nigerian Church.

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 World Council of Churches says: out of the 10 richest pastors in the world, five are Nigerians.
And yet, out of the 10 richest churches in the world, no Nigerian church is on the list.

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.
You are reckless in power—both spiritual and otherwise.
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.
As the prophet Haggai asked:
‘Who among you saw this house in its first building, and how does it look now?’

I have wept and wept over this—
because there are more who are damaging the house
than those who are repairing it.

Those who are 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—almost broken—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.
