Sequel to this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/2700844/man-steals-oyedepo-runs-mad/5#39552523 It important to highlight some facts about the great man called Oyedepo
Bishop Oyedepo rules his empire by instilling fear and by intimidation. He often paints a picture of himself as a guard of Hell's gate with enormous powers to curse or bless people. Blessings for those committed financially to the expansion of his empire and curses for those who dare challenge his interpretations to scripture verses
He often applys physical assaults to ensure compliance with many agents of the State Security Services, the Police and top lawyers on his payroll. Sometimes he uses terminologies associated with occults or the more traditional Judaism like Covenant, Curse, Seed, Mantle, Portions of anointing, Cure, Psalms, Vengeance and brute force. Which mostly runs at variance with the teachings of Jesus
The fact is that Oyedepo has powers which has been usefully applied to disposses members of their finances. He is a master of such art and many of his branch managers are good students of his, often times he has been at loggerheads with his regional managers for remittances of money dispossessed from members to his HQ account. For those Regional heads who have grown not to fear his threats of curse, he took to court example his former Ghana manager. I guess he learnt some lessons from that with the introduction of some modifications. The UK branch is managed by his Son instead of an outsider who may one day fail to remit adequately millions in pounds extracted from African - immigrant coverts
The ingenuity of Bishop Oyedepo cannot be overlooked in the history of Hybrid Christianity. The American inventors of the Hybrid will envy his modifications, it could be someone's PhD thesis and a very good book for youths aspiring to start up empires like such.
I will not be in a haste to denounce Oyedepo as practicing some form of modified ancient arts as some have done, however, I have some strong reservations about his inventions vis a viz the teachings of Jesus Christ. I have no cause to fear or venerate Oyedepo as I can't share my reverence for God with any man. It is always about choices, someone says the Bishop is his God, another says no his is Ayo Oritsejafor, another says no the God he sees is Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and yet many others say it is Pastor E. A. Adeboye.

Bend it or modify it, the foundation of Christianity lies in the teachings of the Jesus and His Apostles it condones no modifications, no inventions, no parochial interpretations or denominations to it no matter the superiority of the argument

People attacking the Op cos they prefer 'what works' to the truth.

I mean if a so called pastor's/bishop's teaching is at variance with Christ's, is it not enough reason to flee from him and obey Christ? And save your souls?

Matthew 24:11
"And many false prophets will arise and lead
many astray."

2Peter 2:3
" In their greed they will make up clever lies to
get hold of your money. But God condemned
them long ago, and their destruction will not
be delayed."

Matthew 7:15
" "Beware of false prophets who come
disguised as harmless sheep but are really
vicious wolves."

Who are those being referred to here? imams? nope. They are your pastors who you esteem above the word of God.

Sadly, this is what is going to happen to all of you who have taken sides against the truth

2Thesselonians 2:10-12
"and in every deception of wickedness unto
those perishing, in return for which they did
not receive the love of the truth in order for
them to be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

oteneaaron:


Its just like I always say, humans have "GOD" issues and will always worship what they don't understand, or what they are afraid of.

It's in our DNA and Nigerians and the world in general will keep falling for the tricks of these self acclaimed "men of god" (the low case "g" is no mistake)

Religion is loosing it's touch.....Christianity has become the stark opposite of how Jesus instituted it.....

#Fact ......the days of Christendom and religion in general are numbered.....

Ask yourself this question....what is the main cause of mankinds woes?.....religion of cause!!

Disgusting , Fanatic, Self-righteous religious followers everywhere.

An irritating closed minded athiest can't be less disgusting.

IamDarlington:
OP can yu just leave bishop oyedepo alone and serve God? I've sensed how much it pinches yu seeing rich men of God.

What you've posted above shows ur belief that any rich pastor exploits his members. But sorry, that's a big lie!

vooks:

Show me the fruit of your life in Christ starting by how many have come to Christ through you and I will give your rant time in my busy study schedule

Topgainer:

It usual to hear this statement from the competing empires. One million souls or membership under a hybrid gospel does not guarantee heaven.
The issue of heaven is a more serious business than the prosperity jamboree marketed and distributed. One danger with the Hybrid gospel is that it will eventually breed pseudo Christians whose hearts are set firmly in the love of the World as against the teachings of Christ not to love the world and the things of the world
In another place, it says the love of many for God will wax cold
It is already happening

receive understanding in Bishop oyedepo name. Amen

Topgainer:

Is that the new prayer or you are just preempting the way it will be?
We are getting close that time and you'ld have to pity fellow country men who have been imprisoned, sentenced and committed to a live of servitude in the companies of Pastorpreneurs. Why do men like to be enslaved and not enjoy the liberation that Christ offered?
A time will come when men in Africa and Nigeria in particular will pray that way and claim testimonies to prove something about the unlimited abilities of the lords and gods(Pastors, Prophets and Bishops) they have created for themselves.

peacesamuel94:

funny, everyone thinks himself holy, so Oyedepo's doctrines are at variance with the teachings of Christ, yet He has lead more souls to Christ than you can and will ever think of.
I'm sure you know that judging another man is also at variance with Christ's teachings.

peacesamuel94:

You are so quick to subject people to scrutiny or criticism as
you call it, but the the truth is, if you are subjected to the same test, you will discover that you are no better than those you criticize, if you think Oyedepo deserves proper scrutiny, then Let God be the one to do that, you are not the judge, you should be more concerned about your Own salvation(which is personal), instead of desperately trying to magnify or point out the sins of another man, when you are not
perfect yourself.

receive understanding in Bishop oyedepo name. Amen

Topgainer:

I have heard these lines before and it has no effect whatsoever on me. And if I may ask which Christ is he leading the souls to? As far as I am concerned the Bishop has shown more in recent times that his personalized god of Shiloh is definitely different from God Almighty whose only mediator for man is Jesus Christ.
I don't care what you think about the Bishop as long he continues with his method which I have summarized above, he propagates alternative doctrines and his god of shiloh is one in many of such gods
Judgement in the Biblical meaning of it belongs to God. It involves condemning a soul to Hell which I have never done.
What you call judgement here is simply a phrase false prophets had invented to guard themselves against scrutiny via the provisions of the scripture. It is similar to the misrepresented 'touch not my anointed'. The exposition of the unfruitful works of darkness is Biblical and will continue as long as false Christs and alternative gospels abound.
Exposition, scrutiny, criticism and warnings about something is done by all men, is not judgement correct yourself if you please.
