The Senior Pastor of the
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) worldwide, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, has
announced his decision to take leave of absence from the pulpit.
The pastor said the decision to step
down follows spiritual counsel from Christian leaders and spiritual mentors.
“The past few days have been very
sobering for me. I have taken time to pray and seek spiritual counsel from
Christian leaders around the world who feel very concerned about the ongoing
reports in the media. I have solicited their guidance on actions I should take
that are honouring to our Lord Jesus Christ and the work He has called me to
do.
“Drawing from their counsel and that of
the leadership of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly and owing to my love for
God’s word and the sacred honour of my called, I have decided to take a leave
of absence from the pulpit of the church,” Fatoyinbo said in a post on his
official Instagram handle.
He added that the decision although is
saddening but he believes it is the right thing to do based on the allegations raised against him.
The senior Pastor describes the
situation as ‘turbulent times.’
“Although
it would break my heart to tatters to stay a day without doing ministry I
believe it is the right thing to do at this time. It is in the interest of the
flock of Christ that issues concerning me do not become a distraction to their
worship of their Lord.
“This step enables me to submit to the
concerns of my spiritual mentors as they consider all the issues that have been
raised against me.
“My confidence in the Lord remains
unwavering. Though, I do not understand all that is happening, I trust the Lord
to lead and guide me one step at a time. Kindly pray for me and the
congregation of COZA as we seek the face of the Lord during these turbulent
times.” (Channels TV).
