Former Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has challenged the church to question donations from politicians and other members of the public whose source of wealth cannot be explained.
Osinbajo gave the admonition on Saturday, at the inaugural lecture in hounour of the late senior pastor of Fountain Life Church, pastor Taiwo Odukoya.
The lecture titled, ‘Strengthening the Christian voice in government or public office’ was held at the Civic Center, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The former vice president said the church should weigh such donors on the relevant aspect of the gospel which they must have applied to what ever they do, to have amassed such wealth.
“How often do those who receive money from politicians and from other sources ask the source of the money?”Osinbajo queried.
“So the question is not how many Christians are in government, business, or professions? The question is, what are they equipped with?
“What are the relevant principles of the gospel that they know and apply in their daily and professional or public lives?”
Tolu Odukoya, associate senior pastor of the church, said the lecture would carry on the legacy of empowerment of her late father.
“It is with great joy and a sense of gratitude that I welcome you all to the inaugural Daniel Odukoya lecture,” Tolu said.
“Today marks the beginning of a significant tradition in our church, a tribute to my father, our father, the founding father of the Fountain of Life Church.”
