Just when everybody, including the National Assembly, was
clamouring for justice and punishment for the killers of the Abuja preacher,
late Mrs. Eunice Olawale, if found. The RCCG’s G.O, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, has
said the Church did not want justice for its slain member.
Adeboye said the Church was only interested in the salvation
of the souls of the killers.
Eunice, a 42-year-old woman, was murdered while preaching the
gospel in kubwa, Abuja around 5am on Saturday.
Adeboye, who was on his way to Lagos after a crusade in Abuja,
paid a condolence visit to the family at their Gbazango Estate, Kubwa.
While praying for the
family of the deceased, Adeboye said, “Lord, we just want to say thank you. We
pray that you keep this family in your hands and that you will be with them. We
pray you will comfort and defend them. They too will finish well.
Praying further, he said, “We are praying that all the perpetrators
of this crime will be found. We are not asking for justice; we are only praying
that you will save their souls. It will be glorious if they can come and
testify that before we were murderers but now we are pastors”.
Also, the widower of late Mrs. Eunice Olawale has shown that
he or the family is not interested in justice for the killers of his wife.
Olawale, who said this while narrating to newsmen how he got
wind of his wife’s death, said “I see her as a martyr and she died for Christ
and whether the people are caught or not, they should be forgiven”.
He went further to pray for them, the same way the General-Overseer
had done, saying, “My prayer is that if they can accept Christ that will be a
gain for Christ”.
What a display of forgiveness even in the most trying moment of family
grief.
That is a lesson for all Christians that no matter what, we should always
be ready to forgive. Forgiveness is one of the virtues of a good Christian.
