Bishop David Oyedepo, President and Founder of Living Faith
Church Worldwide, AKA Winners Chapel Worldwide has described as ‘nonsense,
allegation that he sacked some pastors for not generating enough income in
their branches.
Recall that a Winners Pastor, identified as
Peter Godwin, alleged that he and 40 other pastors were sacked for
underperforming.
The video has generated reactions from Nigerians as some
condemned Bishop David Oyedepo, while others said the action was in line with
the gospel of Christ.
Reacting, on Wednesday, Oyedepo said the only criteria for their sack was how many souls had been won in the church.
Oyedepo maintained that the pastors were sacked because they
were unfruitful.
”When we employed 7000 pastors at once social media was
dead. We have more employees than most states in Nigeria and we have owed them
or taken bank overdraft once.
”The pastors were asked to go because they were unfruitful.
Many of the churches built can never pay for the church building in 30 years.
We have no patience for failure here.
”We have built more than 1,000 Churches in rural areas where
in the next 30 years, they can never generate such fund, with each costing more
than 14 Million Naira. We are hunting after souls, not income.
”People are confused about our Ministry. I learnt some
fellows said, “you know, they are not bringing income, that is why they asked
them to go.”
”We asked you to go because you are unfruitful. Unfruitful!
Blatant failure. Doing what there? We have no patience with failure here.
”When we employed 7,000 people at a time, Social Media was
dead.We have more employees in this Organisation than most of the States.
”No one is owed a dime salary and we don’t borrow, we don’t
beg. Ask our bank whether we take overdraft.We are covenant bound, working in
the light of God’ Word.Enjoying an open Heaven.
”Money: NONSENSE! We have never lacked it and yet we have
never prayed for it, we are just simply obeying God and He is backing up what
He is asking us to do. Awesome God.
”Now the next set is about to be flagged off, just
certifying the landed property issues, nothing else. We have no lack of
anything. The world is confused. Walking in the light of God’s Word. Please
obey God to the full and watch out for His manifestations in your life.
”Well, you don’t need so much Mathematics to know a thousand
buildings; that is not 1000 Naira each, that is not 10 Million (Naira) each,
that is not 12 Million (Naira) each, that is not 14 Million (Naira) each. Some
are 35 Million (Naira). At a go!
”We have never seen it ourselves. We just watched God doing
it.The only criteria: How many souls have they gotten there? Then, build for
them.
How many souls? Not once: “how much money do they have?” he
asked.
”You want to see what we see, go and do what we do. But if
you are not saved, there is nothing you do that matters,” he said.
