#COZA: Biodun Fatoyinbo returns to pulpit 35 days after stepping down over rape allegation

The Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo, on Sunday returned to the pulpit thirty-five days after stepping down following the rape allegation by Busola, wife of popular musician, Timi Dakolo.

Fatoyinbo delivered a sermon titled, “Sudden victories”, relying upon scriptures from the book of 1st Timothy 6:12; Mark 4:35-37 and 1st Corinthians 10:13 in a packed church auditorium.

Tribune Online recalls that Fatoyinbo on July 1, 2019, announced his decision to step down, while his wife, Modele, took charge of the church.

This was sequel to the demand by protesters at the church premises in Abuja and other parts of the country.

The protests were held in solidarity for Busola who recently alleged that Fatoyinbo raped her about 20 years ago when she was a teenager.

But Fatoyinbo on Sunday said it was written in the Bible that Christians would always face persecution, but God would ensure that they are victorious.

“As a Christian, you must face opposition. If God, who is holy and faithful has enemies, you are sure going to have.”

“In wrestling, any method can be used. When faced with challenging circumstances, pray, fast, decree, confess and prophesy God’s victory over your life.

“Most contrary situations around you are set up by the enemy to ripple your faith and keep you on a spot,” he preached.
