The Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly,
COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo, on Sunday returned to the pulpit, a month he stepped
down following serious rape allegation against him.
Busola Dakolo, wife of singer, Timi Dakolo had accused
Fatoyinbo of raping her 20 years ago while she was still 16 years old in Ilorin,
Kwara State.
The rape allegation drew sharp criticism and condemnation
from different quarters.
However, Fatoyinbo, in his sermon, titled: “Sudden
victories,” told a large crowd that Christians would surely face persecution,
but that God would always deliver them.
Taking his texts from 1 Timothy 6:12; Mark 4:35-37 and 1
Corinthians 10:13, Fatoyinbo stated that “As a Christian, you must face
opposition. If God, who is holy and faithful has enemies, you are sure going to
have.”
According to him, most times, when faced with troubles,
Christians had the tendency.
He noted that the reason most Christians fail was that they
address challenging circumstances on the surface, instead of addressing the
root of the matter, which is the enemy, and putting him in his place.
“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 said.
Fatoyinbo prophesied that his members would witness victory
in the new month of August.
PUNCH reports that Fatyinbo is currently being probed by the
Nigeria Police Force for the alleged rape.
