You may not know the name Daniel Obinim, founder and leader of the International God’s Way Church in Ghana, but it will ring a bell when you discover that’s the pastor making the rounds for flogging two people in his church.
The two were beaten, right before the congregation during a service, for engaging in premarital sex.
See the video below;
If you are not a Christian or haven’t read the Bible, there is a part in the Bible where the Pharisees brought before Jesus the woman caught in the very act of adultery.
Jesus told the accusers that ‘he who had not committed sin before should cast the first stone’, and they all walked away. When they were all gone, he told the woman that he did not condemn her however, she should go and sin no more. The end.
Even American singer Chris Brown goes with a passage found in Mathew chapter 7 and Luke chapter 6 of the Bible when he sang, ‘So please don’t judge me. And I won’t judge you’ in his popular song ‘Don’t Judge Me’. His life and that of everyone else is far from perfect, but the star knows that bit at least.
Thus, the mere fact this pastor – who should know much better – felt it was right to judge two of his church members, and in the manner he did, speaks volumes about his little understanding of the Bible; his primary tool.
Besides, someone please tell me why he focused on the lady’s ass when beating her? Maybe I’m reading too much into that, but it seemed off to me. Was he so angry that another man ‘opened the gate’ he had always attempted to pass through?
Then there’s the usher who went to bring the lady back after she ran up the altar to avoid the pastor’s beating.
Also, the congregation should know that they are all part of what the pastor did. I can’t seem to understand why they were just there seated when the pastor decided to take judgement into his own hands.
Anyway, in the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king. When Daniel Obinim apparently does not know the word of God, how will the congregation?
Can it be that no member of the congregation could think on their own and try stopping the pastor? Cowardice if you ask me.
I’d like to know how many of them married as virgins, and how many of the singles in the church can stand and say they are virgins.
To the true pastors out there, I wish you more grace.
