THE BISHOP WHO INSTIGATED OTHER SENIOR MEN OF GOD AGAINST ME (PART 3)
Before I ever take any matter beyond certain boundaries, I make it a point to first reach out privately. I believe strongly in resolving issues quietly before they become public battles. When all of this began, I contacted this Bishop privately on WhatsApp. Instead of addressing the matter privately, he shared my personal messages on a platform of senior ministers, labelled me arrogant, and circulated the same private conversations to my colleagues and even junior ministers. Conversations that were then used to mock me and stir sentiments against me.
Even after that, I still tried to engage him privately. But he brushed me aside, perhaps believing that his position as a leadership consultant, his large following, his access to influential fathers in the land, and his role as a university chancellor meant he could shape the narrative in his favour. I even went as far as reaching out to his son in an effort to resolve the matter peacefully.
Rather than responding privately, the Bishop later went on Facebook under the pretext of correcting excesses in the prophetic, but in doing so, twisted the narrative and indirectly targeted me. What made this more surprising is that I am also a graduate of his university, and I personally sponsored over ten of my members to attend that same university through the Bernard Elbernard Scholarship Fund. I am even preparing to pursue postgraduate studies there. When I wrote Part One and Part Two of my response, I sent them to him first in the spirit of fairness, giving him the opportunity to respond. Instead, he blocked all my numbers on WhatsApp.
It is troubling that a Bishop who is a leadership coach, who mentors pastors and leaders under forty, and who holds influence in ministry and society, would engage in private discussions that undermine another minister. It raises an important question, when some pastors gather, do they truly have nothing meaningful to discuss beyond gossip, backbiting, division, misrepresentation, and distortion of facts about fellow ministers?
I also reached out to the holiness preacher on the Adenta-Dodowa road, whose church begins with “Consecration" and his name start with "King." I called him four times yesterday and three times today, and I sent him messages informing him that I had referenced him in my write-up so he could respond. My Bishop, my concern is simple, how do you discuss me with someone who is widely known for speaking negatively about many men of God, including his own spiritual father? This person cannot guard his mouth and he is a loose talker. Do you know the things this guy has said about you? It is his mouth that is destroying his church. His members are leaving because he cannot keep quiet about their issues.
As for the apologetics preacher called Carl, he told you he have damaging information about me that could destroy my ministry and you were excited. I challenged you both to bring it forward. I have told Carl that I will arrest him. I dared him yesterday to unblock me on Facebook and send me his location and watch and see if I will not get him arrested. He is now telling me on WhatsApp that he has been advised not to respond to me. He is telling me on WhatsApp that he wont fight me.
If a Bishop with such influence as an educator, the founder and chancellor of a university, host mentorship sessions for pastors and leaders under 40, have influence with political figure, has access to almost all the fathers of ministry in Ghana can take a private WhatsApp message, share it among senior ministers, allow it to circulate among younger ministers, and then publicly twist the narrative while presenting himself as correcting excesses, imagine what could happen if my side of the story is never heard. Last year, the Bishop said he empowered five thousand pastors, and this year they aim to empower ten thousand. What narrative will spread among those ten thousand pastors if only one side is told? It becomes easy to paint someone as a villain when they are not given a voice.
I cannot allow such narratives to continue. There are already people who see me as a monster because of past stories that circulated without giving me the opportunity to speak. I am determined to confront this culture of gossip, backbiting, division, and misrepresentation 'pull him down', distortion of issues among ministers by standing firmly for truth and sharing my side with sincerity. I will bring an end to this mafia moves people engage in as ministry by speaking my truth.
I have followed every process expected of a Christian to address an issue. I contacted the Bishop privately. I reached out to his son, Dr. K. I contacted his colleagues in ministry and father figures. Now, I am simply telling my side of the story. Anyone can verify this by contacting the Bishop and the individuals mentioned.
I pastor a social media friendly church and there is a generation that listen to and value my voice. I am not perfect, but I know I am sincere in my walk and in my intentions.This is not our story but this is my story. You said I can't mention the name of the Bishop? Okay, let me give you a little offer at a place that is pleasant.
This is part 3
Are you in Ghana? Do you have ideas of what this bishop is ?
