If you’re not my church member, I don’t owe you accountability — Pastor Emmanuel Iren tells crïtics

The Senior Pastor of Celebration Church International, Emmanuel Iren has called on critics to prioritise meaningful impact over social media appearances, urging people to focus on real-life contributions rather than online posturing.

In a post on X, Iren highlighted several humanitarian initiatives led by his church in Plateau State.

These include providing medical care for victims of bandit attacks, distributing clothing, awarding scholarships, and supporting missionary work in remote communities.

He stressed that genuine service should not be driven by the desire for public recognition, but by a sincere commitment to helping others.

Iren wrote on X:

“Grow up! Social media is not real life.

“In Plateau alone (not even the whole north), last year we;

• Paid for the treatment of a man whose arm was amputated by bandits.
• Sent clothes to villages
• have had kids on scholarship for five years now
• Partnered with missionaries
• Helped families escape attacks.

“All of these without noise or paparazzi like people who actually care and not to “score points” in public eye.

“1. Before you come here to take the moral high ground, ensure you’re at least doing what I am doing or better.

“2. Except you are a member of my Church, I don’t owe you any accountability. You do not tell me when or how to speak up. I do not hold a public office. Maybe holding the leaders who do accountable will be a better idea. At the end of the day, God marks our scripts.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
