Paul Adefarasin Breaks Silence Again On Gun Allegation, Denies Owning Firearm

Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin, has addressed a viral video alleging he brandished a firearm, dismissing the accusation as false, malicious, and driven by profit-seeking “clickbaiters.”

Speaking during a Sunday sermon broadcast live on the church’s YouTube channel and monitored by Punch, Adefarasin said the allegation was deeply distressing and amounted to an attack on his character.

“Many people called me—I was shocked and hurt. I’m human,” he said. “What we witnessed was the work of clickbaiters after money. I likely wasn’t even the real target—they just wanted views and income.”

Firmly denying the accusation, Adefarasin clarified: “I’ve never owned, licensed, or pointed a firearm at anyone. I do not carry a pistol, and I certainly didn’t threaten anyone.”

He explained that the alleged incident occurred on a Saturday—his personal day of rest. “I keep the Sabbath on Saturdays. That’s when this supposedly happened,” he noted.

Adefarasin also reaffirmed the church’s stance on not engaging with misinformation or hate speech. “We don’t dignify lies or attacks. We trust that God is bigger than these tactics,” he said.

Quoting Romans 12:19, he reminded the congregation: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

While acknowledging the emotional toll of the situation, Adefarasin expressed his faith in divine justice. “God is moved by our pain. And what the enemy intends for harm, God can turn for good,” he concluded, before stating, “With that, I lay the matter to rest.”
