FOLASHADE KEHINDE
SPIRITUAL Director of the Adoration Ministries Enugu Nigeria, said on Sunday that the Department of State Services summoned him to Abuja.
He said, during his sermon, that some DSS operatives were at his residence in Enugu with a letter inviting him to the Federal Capital Territory.
He however did not disclosed the content of the letter, but The Point learnt that it might not be unconnected to the face-off between the Presidency and the cleric a few weeks back.
Recall that the DSS had issued a statement shortly after Mbaka called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign, warning against misguided utterances by those who had continued to threaten the administration.
Mbaka, however, said that his aides refused to collect the letter and told the operatives to return on Monday.
Addressing his congregation, he said, “I celebrated mass with some of the leaders of the ministry. By Thursday morning, I got a call from where I was, that the DSS people from Abuja came to the gate, that they came with a letter of invitation to Abuja. Over what? What I cannot understand is that the mother church in Nigeria should be ‘cowed down’ to lilliputians.
“All these are attempts to dumbfound the priests of God. All the priests could be dumbfounded but no prophet should be dumbfounded. The Bible says if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do?
“I heard the security people did not accept the letter. I said they could have received the letter. They told them Father is coming back to celebrate mass on Sunday, and that they could come on Monday to give me the letter. If they know that the anointing flowing from this ground is too hot for them to handle, let them change.
“Look at the millions of youth moving about jobless, and you call us father. Should the father be comfortable when the children are suffering? What kind of father is that?”
He said he never operated with pecuniary intentions, noting that all his actions were geared towards saving souls.
Mbaka stated, “This is the same Father Mbaka who worked with Eneja and spoke against Abacha and co; who went to Minna and told Babangida what was wrong in his time; who, under Bishop Gbuji, went to Obasanjo, face to face, and spoke to him. I perform under the anointing of the holy spirit.
“I don’t do anything to gain money. I do this to save souls and give God the glory. Under Bishop Gbuji, I ministered to the late President Yar’adua. I didn’t start now to learn these. I am being used by a higher being called the holy spirit. If he wants to speak through me, who am I to resist him from using me?”
