Pastor Paul Adefarasin has reacted to the viral video of him holding an object during an encounter with a content creator.
The clip showed him driving down while a content creator filmed his car. And as he approached the man filming, he wound down his window and cautioned the content creator with an object in his hand, an object many believe was a gun.
Reacting while speaking to his congregation, Pastor Adefarasin said that the spread of the false news is not just an attack on him, but an organised strategy by the devil to bring the church down.
According to him, the accusation that he held a firearm and pointed it at a content creator is false, and he does not even own a pistol license for a firearm.
He clarified that he never pointed a firearm at anyone, stressing that the viral falsehood is further proof that the church is not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers and demonic hosts.
He concluded by saying that it was just a case of clickbaiters looking for money, and several Nigerians fell for it.
“This is not merely an attack on a local church or a pastor. It is an organised strategy of the one that we war with. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against spiritual powers and princes, spiritual wickedness in heavenly places, spiritual wickedness in high places, and a range of about thirteen cadet of demonic hosts.
So, the enticement of the enemy is always the love of money at the root of all evil.
What we have had to witness was clickbaiters just looking for more money. I probably wasn’t even their target, their target was to make more money.
I was falsely accused of bearing a firearm, pointing a firearm at an aggressive content creator who came withing personal distance. The only thing separating me and him was about maybe three quarters of a meter and glass.
I do not have a pistol license for a firearm, I do not carry a firearm, and I pointed no firearm at anybody,” he said.
