Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly tells Punch:
They have signaled the campaign by going to kneel down before Pastor
Adeboye. See, I am
not saying that pastors should not pray for presidents, that man was
representing an office; a whole nation crumbling before men of God
because of political advantage they think they can get. And if the
prayer will bail him out, let us wait and see. The truth is who is
preparing for 2015, which faction of the PDP? Is it the (Olusegun)
Obasanjo faction? Or IBB faction? Or Jonathan faction? The governors’
faction? Because PDP is a house divided against itself; it’s a chicken
that has begun to eat its own intestines. By going to kneel down in the
open before the pastor, the man (Jonathan) did not even recognise the
dignity of his office. If it were a private thing, it is okay for you to
crawl or kneel but it is a whole nation. That office has been
diminished by a man who does not know the worth of it and does not
deserve to stay there for one more day.
Who agrees with him?
Kings are underneath prophet of God, just like in the old testaments, hence nothing wrong with that...
ReplyDeleteElse he's jealous he didn't come to him
If GEJ likes make go kneel down 4 Okija, he nor concern us(Nigerians). We ve no problem with where he decides to kneel, he should just do wat we put him der to do!!!! Kapish!!!....T...
ReplyDeleteI do, I do not think it is necessary for Jonathan to kneel before Adeboye regardless of his personal religous convictions
ReplyDeleteheh, pastor politician, nothing degrading @ all, everyone is equal before God, soooo? dont u read ur bible? pastor oshi
ReplyDeleteControversial mad pastor alwayz.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time,I am commenting ,and this is because I am disappointed by the words coming of the mouth of the man have held in a high position in my mind!!
ReplyDeleteWhen did it become a crime to humble your self before God,regardless of whether it was in front of a tv or not. You don't see his heart ,am not Pro-jonathan,neither am I Pro-pdp but this is a sign of Humility to me regardless of whatever agenda is behind it. Am sure this is not the first time jonathan is visiting adeboye and he must have knelt several times for prayer whether its in front of a tv or not
I smell jealousy from bakare cause him and baba adeboye started their ministries at the same time and baba is fufiling a part of the scriptures that says "Kings and princes,leaders of the world shall kneel before you"
God sees all hearts!!
Enough said!
true
ReplyDeleteSeriously, does this man ve any idea that there would be no nation if there was no dreation. Kneeling down while being prayed for by a man of God is just a way of acknowledging the Supremacy of God cos God is almighty and greater than any Office or nation whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteHmMm.. Na wa o. The way pple read meanings into thinz these days Ȋ̝̊̅§ alarming!
ReplyDeleteWhat is Bakare's problem? If Jonathan knelt down before Adeboye it was because of what Adeboye represents and that is God. Bakare should stop being jealous.

ReplyDeleteva
ReplyDeleteTrying soooo hard to be relevant. Shut up jor
ReplyDeleteThis is man is such a sadist and an ungodly iresponsible nonentity.. What right have u to qstn d simplicity of a man in d presnece of God?.. Remb"God despises the proud and upholds the humble".. Pple like you can't lead.. Shameless man here u re talking abt dignity as if u have some wth u.. I pity those that attend ur church.
ReplyDeleteI can say authoritatively dat dis pastor tunde is nt a real man of God. Let no 1 curse me 4 dis o.
ReplyDeletePls he should go and hug transformer *eyeroll*
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I thought almost same when I first heard Jonathan knelt before Pst Adeboye for prayerS. Jonathan is a corrupt man, kneeling to get "more blessings" from God when he's dealt so treacherously with the people God assigned him to rule is unnecessary. He should spare us the public show & quietly go seek God in his closet. Pastor Bakare, there's no office too big to bow before God's anointed.
ReplyDeletedisagree wth bakare jonathan did nt kneel bfre adeboye, he did bfre GOD,he is not bigger dan God yl he is d president of 9ja.
ReplyDeleteBad belle, pure envy
ReplyDeleteI disagree. I see no big deal in these pix. Ʊ can aswell kneel before him pasito tune bakery if Ʊ a jealous he's not kneeling before Ʊ. Shikena
ReplyDeleteJonathan was not kneeling for pastor adeboye but for GOd because it is from him (the lord) whose the prayer was being asked and the forgiveness of sin.adeboye cannot forgive him his sins but God.and when Jonathan says amen..it mean let Ur will be done oh..lord.!!!!!I thought as a pastor this bakare man should know all these..instead of focusing in politics he should preach the gospels and win souls for GOd.
ReplyDeleteI fear the call and the annointing of God in the life of a genuine man of God, therefore I refrain from getting involved when pastors say controversial things. However, I will be glad to hear Pastor Bakare issue a statement on the killings of Christians in the north, I believe that is a more important matter and one that should concern every man of God, I might have missed his comments if he did issue one, just that I hear too much politics from him and nothing on BH. My appologies sir if you already issued a statement. As for GEJ, I leave that alone even though I nothing wrong there.
ReplyDeleteHurtful as it sounds, that is a very true statement
ReplyDeleteI agree with pastor TB,privately or even publicly he can prostrate all he wants for God,but kneeling before a pastor,a fellow man brings this exalted office to nothingness. Portrays a partisan subscription to religious sentiments which brings a divide with contrary religious beliefs. He has failed to realize that God is closer to him than even the pastor he is kneeling before by the virtue of his position as the president of Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteIts a real pity men who have been entrusted upon serious responsibilities have cowered from it,seeking "God" where he isn't.
@countproject
Like seriously wat de hell is wrong wit dis man abi is it becos he didn't come t ur chuch?..I knw u never like jonathan bt giving dis interview is uncalled for.does it mean dat president shld be prayed for in a closed room..God na only u knws best.GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
ReplyDeleteTo an extent I agree wit him. But then I like to look at it in a diff picture, the man Jonathan rather than the president of Nigeria, there is nuttin wrong if the man Jonathan goes before adeboye for prayers, secondly I m not sure there is a place in the bible that says a leader can't kneel before a man of God in public for prayers or annoiting.... So bakare just hold ur peace, or r u fighting for God? Remember the story of those who tried to help God o in the old testament....don't judge. I rest
ReplyDeleteI don't agree as much as I don't like GEJ he knelt at the altar of God and not for Pastor Adegboye
ReplyDeleteCPC pastor is angry the AC boys he calls rogues and bastards have removed him from the Generals side.
ReplyDeleteon this one, i dont agree with pastor Tunde Bakare
ReplyDeleteIf BAKARE said that,then he is telling us him and most pastors are fake hence it's shame for a whole president to kneel before them. Well I hardly depend on pastors as I have always seen them as regular business men if not they won't be buying private jets while members stand on bus stop waiting for danfo ( condemn buses).
ReplyDeleteNa only God I dey tell my problems , if u like be adeboye,oyedepo, oyakilome,Chris okotie,tunde BAKARE,even Pope self, we all have problems and should be channeled to almighty God and no one else.id you are not or have not been there ( rock life or done shady things before) cant be a pastor ,and those past things don't just disappear Forever.
So make this pastors go fry water drink jor. Na God don dey expose them,very soon BAKARE go say all the pastors including him na fake,last time he said efcc should arrest all of them including himself, guru Marahji said all of them use juju, well time shall tell.
Hmmm so is it nw a sin to kneel b4 God weda publicly or private? He shudnt pray for the salvation of his own soul cos of nigeria? On the last day God will give him preferential treatment cos he's the president? Na question I dey ask o?! I can't believe dis?? Everytin Jona does now is abt campaign? Didn't Jesus kneel b4 his disciples to wash their feet as example? Is dat stil belittling? I stil dey ask o?! Heaven is a personal race o! Let God be the Judge.
ReplyDeletei agree
ReplyDeleteGuess tunde was talking on an empty stomach before he decided to grant this interview,cos if he had eaten well,he would ve known that there was nothing absolutely wrong in kneeling 1.in the presence God 2.kneeling before a man of God.my conclusion is that Tunde is just paying lip service to God
ReplyDeleteAm surprised at pastor bakare.Honestly sir,am so disappointed in you.Are u sure God called u?If a non Christian had talked this way,it would av been non-issue to me.Gej is kneeling before God almightyAnd not pastor Enoch Adeoye.Am wondering if I need to tell u that.Pastor Adeoye himself kneels down on several occasions while praying to God.It doesn't matter if GEJ is kneeling down before the whole world do u really think u would av done better if u were the president of this nation
ReplyDeletei soo much disagree wv him. he's very ignorant bcos no matter d position, office, title or level God is greater. infact he is a foolish man
ReplyDeleteℓ̊ do not agree with him one bit. ℓ̊ tot Tunde Bakare was a minister of the Gosple becos if he were a tru minister of God, he would know that Papa Adeboye carries more authority as a Shephard of the Lord over President Jonathan. ℓ̊ see nothing wrong in the president kneeling b4 the man of God weda for good or for bad. One thing ℓ̊ know is that, President Jonathan is not higher than God or any of God's servant cos they are God's representatives here on earth so, they have spiritual aurthorities over him.
ReplyDeleteLinda wint u go to bed am sure u re not in naija by now see Linda I knw it good to work hard in ones job but atimes sme1 need rest ooo this is after 1 o'clock nd u avnt slept coz this life if sme1 die on one thg coz they call u d best on that aspect if tht person die 2day human being will switch to anoda person nd compared it even more than that person do plz we won't loose u now nd we ur followers as well be bless
ReplyDeleteAlways tell them the truth Bakare. The truth is bitter and Nigerians don't like to hear the truth although they pretend to do so. We are our problem. Useless leaders foolish citizens. i feel for does who voted for a man without shoes now he got loads of shoes and can't even change anything since the past 3yrs. *Sentiments our problem*
ReplyDeleteWas GEJ there on National assignment, he was just doing his personal things. Oga cut him some slacks
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of blabbing is this? There's sure nothing wrong in kneeling down before a man of God to pray for you, public or private. Bakare should shove his rubbish opinion up his ass. I'm not a fan of Jonathan either.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with him abeg!
ReplyDeleteI love pastor Bakare but I don't think there's anything wrong for a president to kneel down before a man of God. Erm so pdp has 4 factions now abi? Just can't wait till 2015.
ReplyDeleteThis Tunde Bakare man sef, is he a pastor of a judge? Cos he keeps pointing fingers here and there! I find it really disgusting!!!! Why is he always fighting people??? He should jst forget about "the church" and become an activist/politician so we can all rest! Mtcheeeeeew!
ReplyDeleteNYC-1 says: Dumb rhetoric! So when your congregation kneel before you during prayer, you think it is you they are paying homage to? Jonathan was kneeling before God, and not man. Showing humility to God does not in any way belittle or undermine his office. You inferred that he came for political prayers, how did you know? Don't he as a human being have spiritual needs? You and your pastor are jealous. Shame on you! If he had come to your church, you would have declared him the most righteous. Brood of Vipers and Cobras!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing bad for a President to follow due process in the House of God. it's a sign that our Natural president is Humble & don't care what people says @ is back. (i.e He believe that God has done it .)
ReplyDeleteDoes he mean that when we kneel in church (catholic), we kneel to the priest???? I'm amazed that this is coming from a "pastor"... Tunde bakare is jst a bitter activist who is confused. The way he meddles in people's business is getting irritatting by d day! He should jst take a chill pill and mind his business sometimes
ReplyDeleteCan't believe dis Is a minister of God Talking,I totally disagree wit him
ReplyDeleteHe
ReplyDeletetunde bakore still dey vex cos en no be naija vc......follow me on twitter joor @official_icekid
ReplyDeleteHe who kneels bfr God shal stand bfr men.what is sa office compared ro the word of God.hu made the office in da first place.ehn bakare.answer mi.he appointed its leader.president jonathan la nit kneelun down as a president cos he left his post at the door.he is there as an ordinary man lik u and mi.wel time will tel.innnit bakare
ReplyDeletetotally agree
ReplyDeletetotally agree
ReplyDeleteI'm a TB fan but I beg to disagree with him on this one. Mr president knelt before God the almighty and not before Adeboye. Well, I don't even blaim him for thinking that way because we have completely forgotten God but only reference and worship these men/overseers of churches instead.
ReplyDeleteYayy!!! first to comment :-). But wait o Aunty lin lin u no dey sleep?
ReplyDelete@tweetercabal
I don't. In the House of God, all humans r equal... B u president or whoever... This guy is talking trash.
ReplyDeleteTunde Bakere is talking arrant nonsense! Jonathan humbled himself in d presence of God that is why he went on his knees for supplication!
ReplyDeleteTunde Bakare is crying sour grapes cos d President did not come to his church.
I wonder if this Bakere talkative is a man of God or an agent of d Nothern Cabal coalition? This man is becoming annoying lately! We as Nigerians have tonnes of biting issues that require divine intervention,and this man is busy barking like a wild dog? As he is barking Nigerians continue to suffer and nothing changes!
The solution to Nigerias problems can only be solved if all Nigerians put all hands on deck and work as a united team! It cannot be solved by the worshippping of deities frm different factions of d political spectrum!These r mere mortals whose only interest for Nigerians r limited in scope and will fade as they die away! Ask Zik, Awo or D sarduana of Sokoto!
I think dis pst Tunde is loosing it,in d presence of God u hv to be humble or he humbles u hw there u say that.goshhhh
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with him! Mr president did not kneel down for the man of God rather for God. He only honored God.
ReplyDeleteNaija! una wahala too mmuch! ;(
See who is talkn, wen he also was contestn for dt same post. Al dis fake man of God. Dere is nothn wrng in kneeln dwn while prayn.is jonathn bigger than God
ReplyDeletebakare is actually the most stupid pastor i have ever seen for that statement he has said....if any body can kneel down before a man of God?,why cant a president do the same?,...what is inthe office of a president...wouldnt he die oneday?...lets all be wise.
ReplyDeletePastor bakare is full of controversy
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with him and by the way this pastor talks too much!
ReplyDeleteThe Pastor is God's representative and position, age or whatever we are shld not get in the way. If he feels he's in God's presence and kneeling before Him, then that's up to him...let God be the judge.
ReplyDeleteThis man shuld pls shut d hell up!
ReplyDeletePlease lets ask Pastor Bakare, If King David didn't knelt down before the prophet Samuel to be anointed in the Bible?
ReplyDeleteI think Bakare is bitting more than he can chew.. The Office of the presidency is not grater than the office of a real man of God, He is God's representative on earth. He sounds like someone with so much political bitterness. If he didnt win the previous elections, it means he wasnt meant to be there. And by the way, why should Tunde Bakare be contesting elections? He should concentrate on his pastoralship and leave politics. btw, MY opinion though. @ JESSICA
ReplyDeleteIs d office greater dan God? Tunde Bakare shld mind his utterances before d wrath of God wll be upon him
ReplyDeleteCertainly not me! Kneeling down before a Man of God does not diminish the office of the President - it is the deeds and misdeeds of the President that diminishes his office.
ReplyDeleteOin???
ReplyDeleteTunde Bakare is just blinded jealosy. absolutely notthin wrong with that
ReplyDeleteNa wa ooo,abi he is jealous cos its not him GEJ knelt down 4?I don't c anytin rong in dat at all.If e can't kneel down in front of d redeemed man cos of d position of his office den dat means e is also 2 big 2 go 2 church 2 worship.mtsheeew rabbish
ReplyDeleteNigeria who stands before God should kneel before him...tunde bakare is going crazy, I hope he does not get stricken by public madness.
ReplyDeleteI strongly doubt that this comment is coming from a man who called himself a man of God. If Pst. Bakare truely man made this comment, he is an anti-christ.
ReplyDeletei do not agree with him. akare is confused.
ReplyDeletei do not agree with him. akare is confused.
ReplyDeleteI feel Tunde Bakare has forgotten a passage in that special book(BIBLE) he teaches people from. Maybe he thinks it's only the crowned kings the passage was talking of when it said KINGS will bow before you.
ReplyDeleteThats all rubbish. No one is too big to kneel before a man of God. Nigerians should learn to put their pride aside. In a way he is making a point but i dont think he should have said he 'belittled' himself.
ReplyDeleteTrue talk....at least for once I agree with this man.....lol
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily. Linda big ups to u.
ReplyDeleteno in as much as i hate the spineless president gej, he int kneeling for the pastor but God and no one is too big too do that
ReplyDeleteI disagree with him, i wonder if he's a real man of God. No body is bigger than God. The president was repecting God by kneeling for prayers.
ReplyDeleteHe should go take a sit somewhere.
ReplyDeleteGet ur acts together Mr.Tunde, The president did not kneel before a man. He was in the house of God and whatever way he choose to communicate with God is none of our business. However we continue to pray that our leaders fear God and abide in he's way. If they did Nigeria would have been better than what it is today. In order words Ms.Linda i do not agree with Mr.Tunde.
ReplyDeletePls Tunde shld go n sit down dere's nothing wrong with d president kneelin be4 God.wetin dey pain am be say no be 4 em church e happen. Tunde is jst a hippocrite n a sore losser he shld get a life.
ReplyDeleteHello Lin. Pls is Bakare truely a man of God. Cos if he is remind him dat Chriest knelt B4 Jonh the Baptist. So sujest he refraise his statement. Unless it is politicaly motiveted.
ReplyDeleteThat's total bullshit, is he trying to say the office is bigger than God. For God's sake he is also a pastor
ReplyDeleteHaba! what does Pastor Tunde Bakare mean by Mr. President ridiculing his office by kneeling down to pray..... If i may ask, who do we direct prayers to? He should stop unnecessary innuendoes and take a decision on what he wants to do with his life because he seems confused....
ReplyDeletethis bakere is very very insane,amibo we no get work.he will never smell aso villa
ReplyDeleteI have been observing with utter disbelief the parochial mindset displayed by Pastor Tunde Bakare on national issues....while he has a fundamental right to express himself, he has no right to insult the president or even ridicule the president for kneeling before a man of God..What profanity? Haba! Is the presidency now bigger than God?
ReplyDeleteThe Humble among us shall dine with Kings. No mortal man is above kneeling to his God includng Obama.
ReplyDeleteIf he had knelt b4 u it would have been better abi...plssssssss.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with him.
ReplyDeleteTunde Bakare pls tk a CHILL PILL
ReplyDeleteI would be the last person on earth to say something bad about a man of God,but tunde bakare has lost my respect big time,is he trying to say that jona is too big to kneel before God almighty?who is he compared to my God,even the bible says that if you Humble urself before God he will exult you,pls pastor tunde should stop all this his political ranting and go and face his church,he is not the first pastor that failed in his political aspiration,I don't remember any part of the bible that talked about any prophet wanting to be king.
ReplyDeleteWhat in Gods name is this man talking about??? He knelt before God and not the pastor!! U claim to be a man of God and u don't understand that he was kneeling before God??? I'm not a fan of jonathan quite alright but I have just lost all the respect I have for this Tunde Bakare of a man! Does it always have to be about politics??? Shit! I'm dissapointed!
ReplyDeleteTunde Bakare referred to Jonathan as a whole nation; it means, Jonathan submitted himself as a nation before God. What's wrong with that?
ReplyDeleteTunde Bakare is still a Muslim; please everyone should ignore the LUNATIC.
Fredrick
I totally do not agree cuz I rem that day very well. Jonathan proved that inspite of all d wealth, political ambition, n so on, God is totally the ultimate and it shows he respects God and men of God. He obviously won after the prayers na lol. That is God my dear!

ReplyDeletePastor Tunde bakare, I'm really disappointed in you. How can u sy GEJ belittled his office by kneeling b4 adeboye. What happened no man is above God. Even if he decides to crawl in public to pray or worship God it's nobody's business.
ReplyDeleteomg!! my president , I can't shout
ReplyDeleteThis Pastor Tunde is official gaga. I want to believe the pastor represents a greater throne. What happens to the doctrine Kings will bow to king and gods to God
ReplyDeleteThought he was keen idling in front of God. David danced a crazy dance even though he was king so I have no problem with a king humbling himself in front of God if genuine.. However it is obvious Jonathan did this to get Christian votes for 2015. I am not easily fooled that he did this in spirit and in truth but only God knows.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm;what's the big deal there..or is a whole nation above prayers or above God?? I totally disagree with bakare cos every man's problem can never be the same and I think GEJ was man enough to kneel down for prayers..so why critisize him?? Nawa ooooo!! Even pastors don dey gossip nii!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this man saying sef?is he any better?abegeeeee......(˘̯˘ )
ReplyDelete@MzEllatyra
peeps pls don't say anything bad about Mr president's action cause the more u talk the more he finds a new way to fool himself. mumu somebody phew!
ReplyDeleteI totally disagree with him
ReplyDeletewat is wrong in kneelin 4r praya? wat if he is confessin his sins? he is b4 God & not man,4 God's sake!; & besides,G.O.is much older dan him,wat if he is only being african,we respect elders, u kno?
ReplyDeleteMr Bakare I think you call yourself a pastor,then you should understand that God is greater than all offices,be realistic rather than politicising presidents kneeling down in front of God......Or are you a learner?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering how this Tunde Bakare thinks sometimes. So if you are a president you can't worship God in the open again.Let president Jonathan be. You are not better than him in anyway.
ReplyDeleteBAKARE IS A DISAPPOINTMENT. ASSUMING PRESIDENT JONATHAN ABUSED ADEBOYE, I AM SURE THE SAME BAKARE WOULD HAVE SAID JONATHAN HAS ABUSED GOD BECAUSE HE ABUSED GOD'S SERVANT OR GOD'S REPRESENTATIVES. I AM NEITHER A PROFESSED CHRISTIAN NOR A PDP SUPPORTER BUT I FOUND BAKARE'S STATEMENT REALLY ABSURD. IT IS AMAZING HOW PEOPLE CAN DO OR SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE OF POLITICS. JONATHAN WENT TO THE HOLY CONGRESS IN HIS PERSONAL/PRIVATE CAPACITY NOT AS A NIGERIAN PRESIDENT. IF BAKARE STILL READS THE BIBLE, HE OUGHT TO KNOW THAT BOTH DAVID AND SAUL KNELT BEFORE SAMUEL WHEN SAMUEL ANOINTED THEM, YET BOTH WERE KINGS OF ISRAEL.....
ReplyDeleteBY THE WAY IF BAKARE IS STILL DREAMING OF BECOMING THE VICE-PRESIDENT, HE HAD BETTER WAKE UP AND FACE REALITY. THE ALLIANCE CPC AND ACN ARE TRYING TO FORM WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE HIM AS V-P. I GUESS THE EARLIER HE SEES THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL, THE BETTER SO THAT WE ARE SAVED OF THESE SORT OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED BUT SILLY STATEMENTS FROM HIM.
Pastor Tunde Bakare is d worst person for dat position. Wat GEJ did was just to show dat he still has respect for God. Pastor Bakare no go fit enter church talkless of kneeling down to pray if he becomes d president o
ReplyDeleteI least expected such a comment from Pastor Tunde Bakare.Mr.President knelt before God not Adeboye.
ReplyDeletePastor Bakare,
ReplyDeleteplease stop causing division, Jonathan is NOBODY before God, and he is kneeling before God and not before Pastor Adeboye. You sound like a jealous little boy, trying to stair up trouble. How do you know it is for political advantage. Stop criticizing, and start orying. That is why I do not appreciate some Nigerian pastors. Competition shld not be your forte. RESPECT YOUR POSITION. God is bigger than any darn resident or country!
Past Tunde pls can u help shut the fuck up because the last time I was reading the headlines u were a pastor but before I could get to the body of the news u were already a politician, and I wonder who called u to the ministry.. Not God, think its the devil so pls ask the voice to speak again let's be sure who called u... Dummy
ReplyDeleteEvery man has a right to express his worship before God.David danced his robes off. God honoured him for it and blessed his wife who mocked him with leprosy.let us leave the judgment of his motives to God.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel there is any office bigger than the alter of the most high God.The president showed some signs of humility to have knelt down for prayers to the public astonishment.I don't however support his turning the church into a campaign ground.
ReplyDeleteMay GOD 4give dis pastor tunde bakare and he calls himSelf a pastor smh4h oooooo
ReplyDeletethe man, jonathan did nt kneel 4 adeboye bt 4 God dat is usin de man adeboye.
ReplyDeleteIf jonathan is a muslim is he nt goin to bow if he want to pray in de mosque?
humility is the greatest thing on this earth, kneeling down in the front of the public does not mean anything. Tunder bakare should please be humble and stop making silly statement.
ReplyDeleteOh pullllllllllleeeeaaaaasssssseeeee, kneeling before adeboye is wrong, kneeling before him would hv been respect to God... In the presence of God there is no President, the pastor is God's representative..
ReplyDeleteI don't see reasons with him atall,finally he sounds so jealous and out of point. He should try get over d fact dat Jonathan is d president of Nigeria and not him.For once he disappointed me.
ReplyDelete~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Tuned Bakare suffers from oral dysentry
ReplyDeleteBakare fought to be vice-president to a religious fanatic whose foot-soldiers are daily engaged in wiping out Christians in the North. Instead of lashing out on boko-haram and its sponsors he is here diverting attention and making an unnecessary, biased, arrogant and stupid comment on GEJ and supposed enemy. What a misplaced priority by a supposed pastor!
ReplyDelete-Dox
Omor ѕєє beef.. So what's your problem with that? Abi.. Ιѕ it because it wasn't in your church he came? I don tire for all these 'men of God'.. Na only private jet dem sabi now.
ReplyDeleteHaven't u seen Obama dancing Gangnam Style? The Hell broke loose.? All these nonentities will just gush their gut at any giving opportunity & think its okay because they are pastors.
The man they yan dust joor!!
I totally do not agree,has he forgotten he is a pastor? I see nothing wrong in it,He was praying 4him.why r nigerians so myopic,gosh linda make sure u post this..
ReplyDeleteDis Man is so sock, dunno watz wronmg wit some pastor! President Jonatha, does nt kneel b4 Pastor Adeboye bt b4 God... Pastor Tunde Bakare, must be a learner... Lolzzzz
ReplyDeleteDis Man is so sock, dunno watz wronmg wit some pastor! President Jonatha, does nt kneel b4 Pastor Adeboye bt b4 God... Pastor Tunde Bakare, must be a learner... Lolzzzz
ReplyDeletePastor Bakare, i would rather kneel before Adeboye than bein a pastor runnin mate to a terrorist.
ReplyDeleteGod forgive u sir,he knelt before GOD and not man
ReplyDeleteDis bakare man is too daft abeg, don't most of these guys kneel naked b4 native doctors, hw come d president's kneeling in God's presence is nw disrespect of his office. Bakare u re just jobless, i'm begining 2 doubt if dis guy truely knws God.*hisses*
ReplyDeleteno 1 thank u
ReplyDeleteI disagree with u, president good luck knelt for God not adeboye,no matter how wealthy human beign are,God is stil great,we must knee before him
ReplyDeleteHe's just been jealous that gej did not come and kneel b4 him for prayers.
ReplyDeleteJona is simply a weakling.. seeking any means to get a miracle to cover up his incompetence as the President. Papa Adeboye is a man not God. Mumu Jona should know he's a president of the nation constituted by different tribes, religion, culture and beliefs so kneeling down before a pastor in a public glare will simply provoke some section in the entity called NIGERIA. We shall get there some day.
ReplyDeleteThis man should have several seats joor
ReplyDeletePastor Bakare, you come across as a hypocrite. Are you mad that he didnt come and kneel before you? Presidents are human and they also have the right to practice their religion. If he was going to church and kneeling down in front of a pastor before he was a president, so he shouldn't do that anymore? Whether he kneels down, lies down, jumps up or sings in the church choir will not change our view about how bad his presidency has been. Just being objective. FYI: In the future, while I am all about freedom of speech and expressing yourself, you truly come across as dabbling too much in political issues. Shouldnt you face your ministry and use your platform for constructive and sensible criticism.

ReplyDeleteEven before God? so when namadi goes to the mosque and has to bow he is belittling his office? I wish Pastor B is more careful with his words. Because he cant really say what Jonathan went for since he was not there and doesnt know what was in GEJs mind. haba.
ReplyDeletePastor Bakare: And your point is?????
ReplyDeletesounds to me like reverse psychology here. As much as I cant stand president Jonathan cos of his weak, no balls approach to pressing issues. Aren't you belittling your own office by talking nonsense.
ReplyDeleteNot me, bakare is a politician as well.
ReplyDeleteDis pastor should jst shut up, he is sounding more like a politician nt a pastor. If I should kneel down 4 God, who is jonathan nt 2 do dsame.....please nobody is above God, God sees us as one. Jst mind ur pastor business. Because is pastor Adebayo it's nw nt normal....Mtcheeww
ReplyDeleteI'm only 'touching you not cos you're an anointed of God,likewise I'm doing you no harm because you're (Or were) His prophet.That being said, don't let the grace of God upon your life be wasted sir. The office of the prophet/ Pastor has always been higher than that of the ruler of nations. They anoint kings- David, Solomon, etc. If you knew, you wouldn't abandon yours for a political office. Wisdom is the principal thing Tunde.
ReplyDeleteO please Tunde Bakare..
ReplyDeleteI didn't know your thoughts wia this myopic.. Do we kneel in front of Men of God or we kneel for God??
Listening to you overtime has made me lose the little respect i once had for you..
It only means your congregation comes to worship you and not God.
No wonder you waste the whole sermon preaching politics... Is that ur jurisdiction???
Mtcccchhhheeeewwwww.. NEXT..
Me me me....
ReplyDeleteAbeg he should shut up,so is ok for him to kneel in private and not publicly huh? Makes me wonder what u do in private.
ReplyDeleteIts simple, the man has no fear of God in him dats y he is criticizing our president. I think Gej is a humble man. U beta keep quiet u Son of lucifer.
ReplyDeleteMr. P r u seeking God or Presidential Office?
ReplyDeleteI think bakare is right, ebele is just acting as a politician.its one of the antics of politics.he should just leave that office.
ReplyDeleteBad belle.
ReplyDeleteThis pastor Tunde is becomin smtnels! Dat kneeln shows humility n reverenc. 4 God! Hw can he b so blinded by his hatred 4 dis man? He is a confused person. May God deliver d pastor

ReplyDeleteAbeg enuff of the criticism already. 2015 isn't ere and that's all our political leaders talk about. Nobody is concerned about the welfare of the citizenry or what they can do to better the lot of the people presently. Everything na campign. Rubbish!

ReplyDeleteOna dey fear to talk. Dis man jonathan is a pant.
ReplyDeleteWhen u kneel during prayer, u do so in humility & reverence to God...whether in private or in public. Its unfortunate dt someone who is supposed to be a man of God understands it otherwise. The thing wey God go judge on Judgement day plenty
ReplyDeletePls Fake tunde,leave my president alone.ur too jealousy toward our president.are u the only pastors here in Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteIt is just unfortunate that Tunde Bakare call himself a man of God. I reserve my comment. He is just 2 jelous of the man. All in the name of politics, haba it is 2 much
ReplyDeleteThis man hs spoke like one who's truly power hungry, and desperate for attention.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bakare, for a pastor you sure sound like you need to brush up on your biblical story/ lessons? Remember one of the reasons why King Saul lost favor in the sight of God? For those of you that don't know this story, King Saul was to go to war, but as custom demands, he was to wait for the priest (Samuel) to come and give a sacrifice. Samuel was running late and instead of him to wait (since the sacrifice was to be done only by a the Priest Samuel), Saul went ahead and did it, well that was the beginning of the end of his ruin. What am I saying, am not one to worship men of God, but their is a place and time for everything, that Jonathan is a president does not mean he cannot seek counsel or prayer from a man of God. And Mr. Bakare, you also seem to forget that verse in the bible that says God is not a respecter of person, in other word, be yea president or King, Nations, are to bow in the presence of the almighty.
Igbo's have a proverb, onwu ga egbu nwa nkita adi ekwe ya nu usi nsi... Mr. Bakare, u really need to seek counsel before speaking publicly.
My 2cents!
Its not like we all are happy with GEJ's running of the nation but GEJ is first and foremost a christian before been a president and if his nation needs help kneeling for prayers shouldn't be an issue, if Tunde is a real pastor he would know GEJ didn't kneel before Adeboye, he knelt before the exalted thrown of grace of God. Pastor Tunde continue running your mouth because of politics, you are just showing that you are more of a politician than a pastor. In Pastor Tunde's words... "(GEJ) does not deserve to stay there for one more day" That's very politically motivated and shows a very subjective reasoning.
ReplyDeleteMr Tunde should go and seat down...he only wish Presido came to his church...mtcheww he must ave been tinking how much Mr president would ave given Pastor Adeboye as Honorarium...(˘̯˘ ) Next Gist? #Jealousy
ReplyDeleteMk diz man go sit down 4gutter. He is jst2controvertial. Wt's wrng wit d president kneeling b4 a man of God?
ReplyDeleteWell I agree with pst tunde, I know the reason johnathan is kneeling is selfish sooo I agree
ReplyDeletePastor Bakare no man is too big before the God in whom he or she believes. So if u had become president it means u wud have equated urself to God...pity such comments are emanating from u of all people. The moslem presidents go before their mosques and still bow with their heads to the ground so what makes u think Jonathan should not have knelt down? U leave such intents and purposes for God to judge and not u to presume.
ReplyDeleteTunde bakare must be a joker, Jonathan kneel before God, nt Adeboye..,nobody is above God, Tunde Bakare must be sick at d lips. #period
ReplyDeleteSo in Tunde bakare's opinion (who by the way is also a man of God), the president of a nation (appointed by humans) is higher than a pastor (appointed by God)????? Smh this is just sad. That a man of God thinks an ordinary president is more relevant in the scheme of things than him. Sad.
ReplyDeleteTunde bakare must be a joker, Jonathan kneel before God, nt Adeboye..,nobody is above God, Tunde Bakare must be sick at d lips. #period

ReplyDeleteMy goodness! I'm not crazy about GEJ and really can't wait for him to vacate aso rock but one thing u can't take from him is his humility! Pastor Bakare u of all people should know dat he is Christian before being a president and I bet u it came naturally to him. We Christians kneel to pray to our God if u still remember?? President Yar adua never stopped sitting on d floor in front of his imam to pray cos he was d president? Wat is going on here? Even if u've lost all respect for ur self cos of money have u lost ur mind? Have u lost ur fear of God? Pastor Bakare if u wer in pastor adeboye's shoes and d president knelt down for u to pray for him, would u have granted dis same interview and castigated him like dis?!! May God have mercy on u.
ReplyDeleteWas he kneeling down for pastor Adeboye or he was respecting d king of kings (GOD)? People should watch their alterances against God.
ReplyDeleteSir this is just out of it. What shall it profit a man who gains the whole world and loose his own soul
ReplyDeleteAnd pride goeth before a fall
A president kneeling down for prayer is not much. Okay is it expected that the pastor should be kneeling down while praying for the president
I don't agree!
ReplyDeleteWhen people kneel for prayers, they kneel before the one who is being prayed to, and NOT before the man who does the praying.
When spiritual leaders kneel while praying, who are they kneeling for? Themselves?
Na wao!!!
I totally disagree with Bakare. All I see is a man who humbles himself in the eyes of God...... And that my friend is admirable.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. But am I surprised? The answer is NO! Jonathan is a man known to lack wisdom from birth.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if he likes he should crawl on all the over a million pulpit of churches in Nigeria. He CAN NEVER come for a 2nd term. He has succeeded in emptying the treasury of Nigeria. Very soon the Chinese, IMF and World bank will put Nigeria up for auction to the highest biddest because Jonathan has thrown us into terrible debt. The next 5 Generations might not be able to wipe off such debts unless a miracle happens.
Once the Nigerian people most especially the youths set aside religious and ethnic sentiments and fight for a united course, then and only then alone will Nigeria get better.
I can rili see Tunde Bakare is obsessed wit bin a vice president,dats why e always cmex up wit dis rhetorics,men!dat man nids our prayerz...hahahaha
ReplyDeleteMr Bakare, i beg to disagree. he was not kneeling before pastor Adeboye but before God. Pres. Jonathan is a failure yes, he has'nt be doing the right things to make this country a better place, yes!
ReplyDeleteBut, if he is true to repentance, what he has done, is nothing wrong. i repeat, he was kneeling before God not before a pastor.
Tunde bakare is sick,he is very sick,anyway I dnt need to say much,we are really living in d last days,linda abeg ehn post M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ comment ooo.
ReplyDeleteTunde go n sit down. If u say Jonathan represent whole nation then Daddy Adebayo represent whole heaven (i.e God's nation), So who is higher? As far as spiritual is involve, Daddy Adebayo is far higher than Jonathan. Engel Tony
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with Ʊ on this one,and mind Ʊ president Jonathan is kneeling to God and not pastor Adeboye, what he has done is a sign of humility and Ʊ of all pastor should know that.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell Tunde Bakare what HUMILITY is. Does Tunde read bible or. quran? Who annoints the kings of israel in the bible? Priests. Do they kneel or stand to be annointed? They kneel. Tunde is simply jealous. Jealous of GEJ's office and jealous of Adegboye. Tunde is also troubled that Buhari and CPC won't invite him to come run for VP. Watch out, the next person he will criticise is buhari. Doyin Okupe please reply Tunde
ReplyDeleteNo nation is as big as God Pst
ReplyDeleteI donot agree with Bakare, who is Jonathan compare Τ̅☺ the anointed man of God. He respected the present of God and kneel down! His did was right in the eyes of God and Men.. Bakare is a vessel that make's the loudest noise
ReplyDeleteDis tunde bakare sef is seekin 4 attention evrywhr,wats his busines if sumbody decides 2kneel dwn.wen a general overseer of a church is campaignin 4d post of a vice president,wit al dat has bin hapenin wil u av tym 4ur membas.if God rily kald u I'm sure he wldnt av put u 2shame bt u guys lie against God sayin he kald u 2 rule Nigeria,hw can a man of God say kneelin 4 prayers is crumbling d nation.pls give me a break
ReplyDeletePastor Bakare is really missing that fact that jonathan is not kneeling for Daddy G.O but respecting God.... I totally disagree with Pastor Bakare hope he as not forgetten the verse in d bible that says "GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF ANYBODY"
ReplyDeleteLet dis tunde bakare shut the fuck up,he didn't kneel b4 adeboye,he knelt b4 GOD ALMIGHTY and there's no shame in serving the lord,he knelt b4 d Alter..........
ReplyDeleteSo because he is president he aint a man created by God. Jona did not kneel before Adeboye but humbled himself before God. Bakare is just telling us wen ever if ever he gets to dat office he's been aiming for, he's gonna be a proud snub who feels he's better dan everyone else. Jenni
ReplyDeleteAs long as u r a man of God, anybody can kneel b4 u. Men of God are king makers
ReplyDeleteI personally think Tunde Bakare has lost it.He should go down on his knees and beg God for forgiveness b4 its 2 late 4 him.......UNDISPUTED
ReplyDeleteThot he is kneeling bfor God???
ReplyDeleteHe is kneeling before God not any pastor.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with him....Jonathan is a regret already.
ReplyDeleteNo comment!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pastor Bakare 100%.
ReplyDeleteJonathan goes there in order to make an impression on the large audience, for political gains. And of course our "men of God" are up for the highest bidder.
Anyway, this is the kind of deception Nigerians like & deserve. That's why this country will remain in this hole for a long time.
His a fool for sayin this,I wonder what he is teaching his own members in his church
ReplyDeletethat bakare or whatever he calls himself is a big clown, am sure he is jealous so he should admit it, who is bigger than God, not even Obama, i will advice you to go and fuck yourself, shut up your filthy mouth and grow up...
ReplyDeleteThe Office of the President of any republic is sacrosanct and attracts some extent of reverence and dignity. it is appalling that GEJ does not distinguish between public or private acts and The limit of religious engagements of such a public office holder. He is a misfit
ReplyDeletePrayers in these Ngerian churches is like rituals.The language, tone, and way it is conducted does not differ much from that of native doctors. He would have done the same in front of a shrine.I wish the pastor and the president knelt together to pray, it would have made more sense. For Mr presidnet to kneel before him, he got it wrong.
ReplyDeletenot only do i agree with him,pastor adeboye has let jonathan mount the pulpit to campaign ahead of 2015,the pulpit should not be for just anyone but the pastors,so much deceit and politics going on in the church these days....shikena.
