He said 'they' offered him landed properties in Lagos and money to commence his ministry, but he rejected them all to stay put with the Adeboye-led church.

On why he turned down the juicy offers, the cleric said he preferred to remain and die under authority. He noted that many people put revenue before revelation and titles at the expense of the mantle.

He stated that Pastor Adeboye was aware of the offers he had received. A part of his statement at the service went thus:

"...I have a big secret that I want to share with you before I pray for you. Whosoever you follow determines what follows you. I had a lot of invitations, a lot of whatever, to leave Redeemed, and this daddy knows.

"They have offered me landed properties in Lagos to leave. Also, money to get my own ministry done, and I told them any machine that functions properly, you don't repair it.

"That it is better to be at the back of a lion than to be in front of a cow. Are you getting it? I am grateful to God that I am under authority. I like to remain and die under authority. That is a big secret. Because, many of us, we put revenue first at the expense of revelation. Some of us ,we go for titles at the expense of the mantle.

"When you have the mantle, you will control titles. Are you there? So, it is not about grade, it is about grace. Having become a king, you will now begin to prepare a lucky charm. What else do you want to become?

"I want to encourage you, let us follow Christ. Be a follower and your tomorrow will be better and not bitter in the name of Jesus..."
