The Presiding Bishop of the
Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo, has said
anyone insulting him is wasting his or her time.
He also disclosed that his church
planted 520 new parishes on Sunday, August 16, 2020.
The President, Muhammadu Buhari, had on August 7 signed into law, the Companies and
Allied Matters Bill, 2020. The bill which has been passed by the National
Assembly replaced the 1990 CAMA.
Amongst those who criticised the cleric is the President’s aide on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, who tweeted on Monday, “I hope this is not true. If it is, Oyedepo will have to manufacture his own country and live by his own laws. As long as he lives and operates within the entity called Nigeria, he will live by Nigerian rules and laws. He will do as he’s told by the law. Enough of lawlessness.”
But Oyedepo in a sermon on Tuesday morning tagged, ‘Breaking Limits’ aired via the church’s social media platforms, said, “If I ever preached a message where there is no laughter, don’t listen to it. I have been laughing like this 76 till forever since I found Matthew 6:33. I have been laughing at the devil and smiling as I serve. You insult me, I enjoy it. You insult me and I stop going to work because you insult, I will be a big fool. I am going to work.
“They said, see his legs. Yes, I
thank God for my legs. See his nose, yes, He made it and He did it beautifully.
See how short he is, that’s the size He made me for so I can save more clothes.
“You know, He that sits in heaven
shall laugh. If you are not laughing, you are not seated in heaven. And we are
seated in heavenly places, so what should we be doing? Laugh. As they insult
you? Laugh. As they mock you? Laugh. As they abuse you? Laugh.
“Anybody insulting me is wasting
his time. One, I didn’t hear. Two, even if I heard, it won’t pain me. Anybody
praising me is expressing his opinion. One, I didn’t hear. And even if I heard,
it won’t blow my head because if you praise anything in me, it is Jesus.”
He added, “Nobody has the power
to determine how many people worship Jesus. No force on earth has the power.
When I’m lifted up, I will draw all men to myself. So, get all the facilities
ready. The devil is tired. You ask him and he will tell you. I am tired because
there are churches today that are just pushing the frontiers of the gospel in
spite of the devil.
“As at last night, we got the
report of 520 of our new churches planted.
The Lord shall send the rod out of Zion, rule thou in the midst of thou
enemies. It’s a divine agenda. No policy under heaven can stop it. 520 churches
planted on the 16th of August. If I were the devil, I will start mourning now.
Shame on the devil.”
