Pastor David Ibiyeomie Condemns Godfatherism And Advises Members Against Idolatry
Pastor David Ibiyeomie, the founder and senior pastor of Salvation Ministries spoke on “Prayer For Possibilities 3” at Salvation Ministries Home of Success, May Edition of Spiritual Week of Empowerment, Day 3.
According to Church Gist, he said that human worship is where many of us are victims, many of us are not victims of pride but it is the major problem of Christians and people. He said that human worship is what we call godfatherism and advised that you never call any mortal man your godfather. "Never! It's a wrong language, don't follow sinners to use that language, nobody can be a God and a father to you," he said. According to him, it is better to call in your mentor but not your godfather, it's human worship. No mortal man can be your godfather, it's a wrong English.
"And for some of us, that's my political godfather, the two of you will sink, somebody can't be your godfather instead that is my mentor in politics, not your godfather, the day he will fall you will fall with him," he continued. God said it is a curse and some of us put our trust in men, we don't even remember God when we are praying and God is looking at us all. He said that he has never looked up to any mortal man for help. Thank God for whatever you think you're doing, but I will never look up to you, you're not my source. Don't make man God over your life.
Finally, he said that anything outside the highest God that requires your worship is an idol. So, for those who have other gods, their sorrow will multiply. We think idolatry is only when we go to Juju's house, some of us our idol is ourselves, to others it's human beings, to others it's money.
