*THE HEAD OF THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH IS A MAN OF HONOR AND NOT A DESTROYER OF SOULS.*
_Defending the Integrity of a Harmless and God-Fearing Leader._
In times of tragedy, emotions run high, and speculation often takes the place of truth. The recent loss of two young souls from the National Pentecostal Pre-School is heartbreaking beyond words, and as a Church, we mourn deeply with the affected families. However, it is equally painful to witness the malicious attacks on the reputation of our esteemed Bishop and the National Pentecostal Mission. Instead of allowing due process to take its course, some individuals, particularly on social media have chosen to unjustly judge and vilify a man whose entire life has been devoted to service, love, and righteousness.
Anyone who truly knows our Bishop understands his harmless nature. He is a man who loves humanity unconditionally, a shepherd who has dedicated his life to nurturing both the young and old in the ways of Christ. Children, especially, hold a special place in his heart. His commitment to their spiritual, moral, and academic development is evident in the very existence of the National Pentecostal Pre-School, a place meant to provide not just education but also safety, care, and guidance. It is unthinkable that a man with such a selfless mission would ever be complicit in anything that brings harm to the very lives he seeks to protect.
Beyond his pastoral duties, I have had the privilege of knowing him in an academic capacity, as my teacher and lecturer. He is not only a man of deep biblical wisdom but also one who instills discipline, critical thinking, and love for knowledge in his students. His teachings transcend the classroom, leaving a lasting impression on those privileged to learn from him. He has always led by example, upholding the highest moral and ethical standards.
Yet, despite his impeccable character, unscrupulous individuals are attempting to blackmail and tarnish the name of a fine gentleman who cannot even harm a fly. These baseless accusations and reckless social media judgments are not just unfair; they are a disservice to truth and justice. It is deeply troubling that instead of waiting for proper investigations, some have chosen to turn this tragedy into an opportunity to spread falsehoods and sow division.
We must not allow social media trials and ill-intentioned bloggers to dictate the narrative. The National Pentecostal Mission remains committed to justice and transparency, fully cooperating with authorities to ensure that the truth prevails. But let it be known: character assassination will not change the truth. Our Bishop remains a man of peace, a lover of children, and a faithful servant of God, one who will never condone or participate in any form of evil.
To those who seek to destroy his good name, we ask: What do you gain by condemning an innocent man? To those standing firm in support of truth, justice, and integrity, we say: Continue to pray, continue to believe, and do not be swayed by falsehoods.
The memory of the departed children deserves justice not slander, not baseless accusations, but the truth. And in the end, the truth shall always prevail.
BEFORE YOU MAKE JUDGEMENT, ALWAYS REMEMBER TO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
