…. House on the Rock Founder Denies Gun Allegation, Says He Was Targeted for Profit by “Digital Wolves”
All Facts Newspaper reports that the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, has finally broken his silence over the explosive viral video that falsely accused him of brandishing a firearm. Speaking with visible emotion during his Sunday sermon, the popular preacher described the incident as a malicious attempt to destroy his image and profit from misinformation.
The video, which circulated across social media last week, alleged that Adefarasin pointed a gun at an aggressive content creator. The claim went viral, sparking public outrage, media speculation, and hundreds of phone calls to the preacher.
“I was hurt. I was shocked. I’m human. I received so many calls, and the entire situation left me shaken,” Adefarasin said during the live-streamed service on the church’s YouTube channel.
No Gun, No License, No Truth
Dismissing the accusation in clear terms, the clergyman stated:
“I do not own a firearm. I do not have a pistol license. And I did not point any gun at anyone.”
He described the incident as fabricated by online clickbaiters, whom he accused of deliberately crafting sensational lies for monetary gain.
“These were not people seeking justice or truth. They were simply trying to make money by dragging down a name. I probably wasn’t even the real target — just the most profitable headline.”
The Real Story: Sabbath Disrupted by Content Creator
Giving more context, Adefarasin revealed that the incident happened on a Saturday, a day he reserves for Sabbath observation, and involved an “aggressive content creator” who intruded into his personal space.
Despite the pressure to defend himself earlier, he said the church chose not to respond publicly out of principle.
“It’s our policy not to dignify hate speech and false accusations. God is bigger than social media lies.”
Spiritual Strength Amid Emotional Damage
Quoting Romans 12:19 — “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord” — the pastor said he has handed the matter over to God, trusting divine justice rather than online rebuttals.
“God is touched by our pain. And what the enemy meant for evil, God will turn it for good.”
He added that the episode, though hurtful, has reminded him and his congregation of the power of faith, patience, and discernment in the digital age.
Laying the Matter to Rest — Or Just the Beginning?
While Adefarasin ended his message with the words, “On that note, I will lay the matter to rest,” observers believe the digital defamation saga is far from over, especially with many asking: Who created the fake video, and why?
