Founder and General Overseer of
the Living Faith Church also known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has
stated that he feels good when accused of flying private jets and maintaining
them with church’s money.
Bishop Oyedepo said he is not disturbed by false news carried around about him but only sees such as persecutions.
When asked in an interview with
the Education Explorer during the weekend if the allegation that he uses church
money to main his jets trouble him, the pastor said, “I feel very good. It’s an
opinion. Let me tell you what my understanding of persecution is; it’s simply
an opinion harshly expressed. And everybody has a right to his opinion.
“People who are walking in the
truth are hardly bothered when things are said negatively about them because
they have nothing to hide. The truth is I have never felt it, some say it’s not
human, but I have not. I can’t be wasting my time trying to reply lies because
I have too many things to do.
“They are doing their work, let
me be doing my work too and before they wake up in the morning, I’ve done the
next one, so, it doesn’t matter. My idea of it is that, in a football match,
you have only 22 people playing with thousands of spectators.
“And that is the way it is in the
journey of life. In every field, you find just few players and many spectators,
multitudes. If we don’t know where to place opinions, they will displace us.
“When we started Covenant
University, so many people said it would not work, now, we hosted two Nobel
Laureates this week, whereas no Nigerian university has ever hosted one in the
history of university education in Nigeria.
“Now, it is the most pronounced
and preferred private university in Nigeria. In fact, they say this is the
university of the future; that is what they say in the university community.
Those who said it could not work now have their children here because they have
changed their mind.
“Some people say how can you tell
children how to dress? We have to do that so they won’t behave like mad people
on the street. They say how can you tell them they can’t use phone? We tell
them so they would be disconnected from cultism.
“Ask me anything, I can tell you
why we did it. Where are you going to find the President of a nation with a
woven hair? I can tell you that in the next 100 years, you won’t find a male
president using earring because they would count you as irresponsible, even in
the secular world, they won’t see anything in you.
“As free as America is, have you
ever seen any minister there with earrings? The person may be qualified, but he
will be termed irresponsible. But if you train these children how to carry
themselves, it will open up their future.
“Everywhere you get to in this
world, people are looking for responsible people, who don’t only say so, but
prove so. So, all the opinions on Covenant University have died now because we
didn’t stop pursuing what we believe was right and now it has become a
standard.”

In ur own opinion dat is wot persecution really is?And as a full time pastor, why not consult ur Bible and see wot The Apostles and Jesus himself passed thru.That is wot persecution is a not ur opinion or Dictionary definition definition.So whose money do u use to maintain ur Jet and school? And is u school affordable to the poor an d fatherless? Why do we continue to fooling the gullibles-mordern day pharisee? Do as i say, and not as i do! U can not even cite just a Bible verse to back up ur reasons for accumulating so much wealth for ursef and ur family alone, while so many out there - even ur members go to bed witout food. Is that truely wot Jesus preached Pastor? Let us see if yu wil go to grave wit perhaps one of ur private jets? May God help the gullibles and open their eyes soonest posible. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLol. You are probably using the money from your other multi million dollar companies to run and maintain your private jets right? Companies you already had before becoming a pastor as you were already a millionaire before you became a pastor right?
