THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DADDY IN THE LORD (PART II)

“When the Bible Puts Papa On Trial” By Akin Ojumu Having established the sacred commandments of Daddy Christianity, we may now proceed to its devotional literature. Every personality cult requires beatitudes, a creed, and—unfortunately for Daddy—a confrontation with the Bible. ***The Beatitudes of Daddy Christianity*** Blessed are those who never ask questions, for theirs is the front row. Blessed are the unquestioningly loyal, for they shall inherit protocol positions. Blessed are those who defend Papa on social media, for they shall be called spiritual sons. Blessed are those who sow before midnight, for their screenshots shall be remembered. Blessed are those who shout “Amen!” before understanding the sermon, for they demonstrate uncommon faith. Blessed are those who never fact-check testimonies, for they shall see miracles everywhere. Blessed are those who reinterpret failed prophecies, for they shall preserve the reputation of the prophet. And blessed are you when men criticize Da...

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DADDY IN THE LORD (PART I)

“The Ten Commandments of the Personality Cult” By Akin Ojumu Welcome, beloved, to the Church of the Most Highly Anointed Daddy in the Lord. Here, the Bible is the Word of God. But Daddy explains what God actually meant.  Scripture is our final authority.  Except, of course, when Scripture appears to contradict Papa.  In such unfortunate circumstances, the problem is never Daddy.  The problem is your interpretation.  Your theology. Your carnality. Your unbelief. Your lack of revelation. Your inability to understand “spiritual things.” Or, perhaps, the dangerous habit you have recently acquired of reading Bible verses in context. Whatever the explanation, one doctrine must remain permanently settled:  Papa cannot be wrong. Welcome to the Gospel According to Daddy in the Lord. 1. The First Commandment Thou shalt have no other spiritual father before Papa. Jesus may be Lord. God may be Father. The Holy Spirit may be Comforter. But every properly initiated spiri...

THE PRAYER-HOUR ECONOMY QUID PRO QUO

“ How Spiritual Performance Turns Prayer Into Currency, Providence Into Payroll, and God Into Accounts Payable ” By Akin Ojumu There may be a thousand religious labels, denominations, ministries, apostolic networks, prayer movements, prophetic camps, and spiritual “dimensions,” but beneath all the branding there are ultimately only two religions. There is the religion of divine accomplishment. And then there is the religion of human achievement. One says: Christ has done it.  The other says: You must still clock in.  One rests in grace.  The other keeps a celestial timesheet.  One looks to the finished work of Christ.  The other looks at the clock on the prayer-room wall. Welcome to the Prayer-Hour Economy Quid Pro Quo. In this strange theological marketplace, spiritual success is supposedly measured in devotional labor. Thirty minutes of prayer keeps you ordinary. One hour gets heaven’s attention. Three hours opens doors. Six hours makes you “dangerous in the s...

DID THE POWER TO HEAL BELONG TO PETER?

“What Acts 3 Actually Says About Apostolic Healing” By Akin Ojumu In Acts 3, Luke records one of the most dramatic healing miracles in the early Church. Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer. At the temple gate called Beautiful, they encountered a man who had been lame from birth. Every day, this man was carried there and laid at the gate so that he could beg for alms from those entering the temple. When he saw Peter and John approaching, he asked them for money. Peter fixed his attention on him and said: Acts 3:6 “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” Peter then took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately, the man’s feet and ankles were strengthened. The man who had never walked suddenly began walking, leaping, and praising God. That raises an important theological question: When Peter said, “What I do have I give to you,” did he mean that he pers...
