Saul was doing well for a while, but he started to make the wrong turn, and he is still praying to God...And one day, he's talking to God, and God said stop talking to me about the past. Because as long as you keep talking to me about the past I can't talk to you about the future."

The Pastor stated that it was time for people to let go of the past and not allow the past to consume them and hinder them from progressing to the future.

At the end of the short clip, Pastor Adefarasin said he does not care what people say about him as he urged Nigerians to leave the past behind them and move on.

While referring to God's message to Prophet Samuel in the Bible, Pastor Adefarasin said:

"I don't have to use the throne to bring a king into play. I don't have to win a battle through the king; I can win it through a boy.

"So you can walk away from pain saying God I don't need anybody to explain it or anybody to say sorry. I trust you to deal with it, My job is to move on.

"I made up my mind a few days ago, I moved on. You can have your ugly ways about me, you can say all you wanna say about me, you can toot and twerk...say all you wanna say, I don't have a beef with you, I've moved on."

Reno Omokri reacts

Reacting to this sermon, social and political critic Reno Omokri lashed out at netizens who criticised the sermon of Pastor Adefarasin.

He wrote:

"So, Pastor Paul Adefarasin is bad and should be cancelled and threatened because he preached a 'move on' sermon, but Pastor Paul Enenche is good and should be praised because he surrendered his pulpit for Peter Obi to campaign? Interesting!

"We will see just how far this 'yes daddy religious war' will take you guys!"

Okeligho Khalifa, a travel vlogger, countered Omokri's opinion, stating that the cleric urging Nigerians to move has his family overseas while Nigerians suffer in poverty.

He wrote:

"He preached 'move on' sermon, but why his family are outside the country enjoying like you, and not all Nigerians who are outside the country are happy about the state of the country, unlike you? If he wants to move on, let him go and bring his family to Naija."

Similarly, self-styled investigative journalist and filmmaker David Hundeying likened Pastor Adefarasin to the cleric character acted by Richard Mofe Damijo in the blockbuster Nigerian movie "King of Boys."

"Plus your family doesn't even live in Nigeria, so of course, it's very easy for you to urge people to "move on" because you have no skin in the game, you corrupt flaming a$$hole."
