"The answer is No. The God Oyedepo serves can defend him, without the assistance of any Pastor or clergyman. Men of God are called to defend the gospel, not other men of God.
"The pulpit is sacred and holy. Members may feel justified and equally use similar words when annoyed by their fellow men. This will not be in the best interest of the Church.

"Pastors should watch their temperament on the pulpit. Our Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross, he never cursed or abused them, but said, 'father forgive them, for they know not what they do.' Stephen was stoned to death, he never cursed his assailants but prayed for them.

"They should rather pray for him to know the truth. As a mark of reconciliation, and in the spirit of forgiveness and humility, I'll equally expect the Pastors to apologize to Daddy Freeze. They are called to be humble. This is in accordance with the Bible. No one is above apologizing."
