Why Are Some People Calling Bishop David Oyedepo A Greedy Man?
When one of my elder brothers got admission into the University, my family had so much money that he could not pay for the school fees…
And he was about losing the admission, before God used the scholarship scheme of Living Faith Church, Winners Chapel to see him through…
For 5 years, that church paid his schools fees… And today, he is a graduate…
When he becomes a billionaire tomorrow, and decides to buy another private jet to add to the ones they already have in that church, will you blame the church?
Around the same time, one of my sister’s got a visa to travel to America, but we were also too rich to even see flight ticket…
We tried everywhere… But nothing came out… And it was also few weeks for that visa to expire…
It was Living Faith Church, Winners Chapel that gave my sister money to a get a flight ticket… And she traveled…
When she becomes a billionaire tomorrow and decides to buy another Private jet for that church, will you blame the church?
A stingy church will never see the financial move of God…
A stingy pastor will not stop seeing reasons to criticise others who are reaping God’s harvest…
Before you say what you don’t understand sir, please, ask questions….
Winners Chapel built a university with the standard they want…
And people are asking why the school fees is high…
And I am asking, Will they reduce their standard because of some poor folks …
Must your children attend the school?
Hundreds of thousands of boys and girls have graduated from different universities across the nations of Africa through the scholarship scheme of winners chapel…
And up till tomorrow, the scheme is still on…
People are benefit ting from it and becoming graduates….
If you are poor, go and benefit from that scheme and become a graduate…
You must not attend Covenant University before you know you are a graduate…
Some of us graduated from some community universities around …
And to the glory of God, today, we are not doing badly…
I have also seen people who graduated from the most expensive universities who are working for those who graduated from some obscured universities somewhere…
It is what you carry inside that makes you, not the name of the school you attended…
I don’t know if I will laugh or cry when I read things people write about the fees in Covenant University…
It is not a must to go to Mr Biggs and eat your launch…
There are some other ‘mama put’ and other local food vendors around, where you will also eat and be filled…
Imagine someone blaming Mr Biggs, that they are greedy… And that is why their food and meat pies are more expensive than others who are hawking their own on the streets!
It’s very funny, because they are proudly advertising ignorance!
Do you know how much they are paying their staff? …
All those beautiful and handsome guys that opens the doors for you when you are coming into that eatery, don’t you know they pay them?
Do you know the tax they pay to the government?
Do you understand that they are making more commitment in their products to give better quality than others?
Don’t you know they spend more money to maintain such costly standard?
Did they force you to come and eat inside their restaurant!
If you are really hungry, and you cannot afford to buy at their price, did you not see ‘mama put’ around and enter under the umbrella and tell the woman to give you rice and beans and mix it with moi moi, with kpomo and liver? …
I no fit laugh here abeg!
My people, Let’s not talk what we don’t understand…
The poor will always be in our midst…
But I refuse to be among the poor that will be waiting to be helped everyday…
Many churches are only good in receiving offering…
One service, they collect 5 times offering, every Sunday…
They have no plan for all those boys and girls who should be in universities…
How can you expect that kind of stingy church to have weight in our time?
Sir, I am a missionary…
And not a member of winners Chapel again,…..
But that church has assisted many families…
Not only in word and prayer… But materially…
It was that church that brought light into my father’s house…
And I know hundreds of other families with more testimonies than us…
Ask the man that is accusing Bishop Oyedepo of being greedy, the church he attends, how many people have they helped? Who they epp?
They say there is no smoke without Fire…
But we are in a time when we are seeing many smokes without Fire…
People wake up from hunger and failure every morning, creating stories to discredit men of God who God has blessed …
Tell them, that we cannot talk about revival and remove money out of it…
The church is about to enter into the real display of Kingdom wealth…
It is through prosperity that the cities be spread abroad?
This revival of bitterness and ignorance must be quenched…
What you sow is what you reap…
When God brought youths for you to help them pay their school fees, instead, all you did was to be collecting the little salary they were being paid…
And another church helped them, and tomorrow, God used them to carry out mighty projects for those churches, you will sit in your obscured denomination and be saying what you don’t understand…
Wake up ma!
No matter how religious you sound, we understand your confusion…
Your church believes in reaping, but they were not sowing…
No wonder, right now, the only thing they have to reap is the wind…
I refuse to see a young man that needs money, instead of me to give him money, I will give him prayers and collect the one he has, in the Name of seed…
I refuse to be a rich spiritual father who will sit in the office expecting money from young men of God who are in the fields looking for money to pay house rent…
That’s spiritual wickedness…
I refuse to be a part of a church that is only good in collecting from people and not giving people…
No wonder, they have stunted growth…
With all the noise they make, they are just merely existing somewhere…
No force… No weight… No voice and no impact…
Brother, I know you did not understand what you were saying about Bishop Oyedepo…
Please, don’t let them make you to partake of other men’s sins…
Don’t bother, God has already winked at your days of ignorance…
But make up your mind today, not to say what you don’t understand any more …
It is not every man of God that likes to come on television to be announcing and showing pictures of people they give money and food etc…
It might not be all wrong… But in many occasions, that is politics…
Ask those who are doing it… Many of them will tell you they are using it to gain credibility… So that gullible people will think they are more compassionate than other ministers….
Any time your left hand has started seeing what your right hand is doing, in many cases, check it.. God is no more in it…
Even other members of that branch of Winners Chapel did not know, till today, that it was the church that provided that ticket fee for my sister …
If it was in other churches, it will be on air…
But then, no one even heard about it…
There was no special T. V advert, like we are doing these days…
But the money was more than enough, that she left some behind for us …
And my own portion, nobody tampered with it… Halaluya! (Lol)
When my father went to thank the pastor, he told my dad.
“Papa, you would not have needed to come all the way… Just to say thank you… It is a privilege for us to see that God has positioned us not to watch the Light to quench in families …”
How can any member of my family forget that gesture?
And if I see Pastor Buji somewhere tomorrow and buy a jet for him, some short sighted people will start asking why a pastor should be using private jet …
Friends, let’s wake up from this ignorance ….
People who are touching lives are not making noise about it…
Even if Bishop Oyedepo makes tuition fee for Covenant University, free of charge, people will still be looking for something else to say…
I thought some churches should have learnt by now, how their stinginess has made them perpetual dependants on poor people sitting on their pews …
But unfortunately, some of them are among the ones championing this baseless charade, against men who God has sworn to bless …
Please, my people, may God give us understanding!
If there is no one praying for God to bless him so that He will buy you a private jet, know it that you have lived a selfish life all your life…
If there is no one you have helped enough, that where he is now, he is praying for God to help him win contract so that he will buy a church land and build it for you, then, know that you have been a stingy pastor…
When God starts blessing those who are sowing into people’s lives, please, ask questions before you start preaching your ‘revival’ message…
Poverty is not a part of the gospel of this endtime…
If the school fees is 100 million, we want to be among the people that can afford it…
My name was not included among those poor people that must be in our midst…
Tell the poor people that wants to go to school, that there are other scholarship schemes going on in Living Faith Church, Winners Chapel…
Let them go and access that benefit…
Hundreds of thousands of people are benefitting from it…
Everybody must not be a graduate of Covenant University…
God bless you!
