In The God Of David Oyedepo ? Huh?

So I went to a Winners chapel branch not too long ago and was surprised as to how they prayed,  "In the God of David Oyedepo"  AMEN. This phrase came up a lil'too often.

Nigerians, for soo long have been exploited by common BUSINESS men. Who make MILLIONS off this Religion business.  Why are we soo gullible as to place men on a pedastols ?

Why?

When do common humans like Oyedepo deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as GOd,

I was in absolute awe and won't go back to a church that worships idols.

Abi ooooh. Such NONSENSE, 


Nigerians have made him a MultiMillionaire, 

There is already separation of church and state in Nigeria . . . we are officially a secular state. The problem is not religion but poverty. Why do you think everyone is paying tithes and "sowing seeds"? Its not because they love God, they only seek miracles, signs and wonders . . . of course the charlatans coming in the name of Gawd are doing a wonderful job of padding their own nests feeding off the insecurity of the poor.

ONE reason, why I say there is so separation, is this: for example, if Brother Joe works for a company/or his a senator or is in position of power,  (I guess its called networking) but He will give an underqualified person a job because the person goes to his church rather than a QUALIFIED and brilliant muslim/non christian.

I find myself almost beginning to support these charlatans.  If people are so greedy, stoopid, and selfish then they deserve to get mugu-ed, don't they?  I don't know.  It's just a thought I've been entertaining recently.  Also, it's not so much poverty that is causing this afterall we are not the only poor country in the world.  In fact we aren't a poor country at all it is the problem of wealth distribution which afflicts us so.  Which is just another manifestation of the actual ill which is greed, short-sightedness and stoopidity. 

Are you looking at wealth in terms of GDP or are you looking at it in terms of possessions, minerals, resources both human and material?
Is a millionaire who is a miser and lives in a shack a rich man or a poor man?  I'm not arguing with you I'm just deliberating about what you're saying.

 'The God of Oyedepo'  .So mentioning Oyedepo is meant to be the egunje for God to answer my prayers or Oyedepo is now a co-mediator with Jesus? When will we open our eyes and refuse all these nonsense?
  @ Poster,
                Oyedepo allowed the people to yarn this nonsense intro in their prayers??? Hmmm, he thinks he's a demi-god

@Davidylan:
If Nigeria is a secular state/country, is it because of its separation of "Church and State" stand, or other reason? Please explain the reason Nigeria is a secular country and not othewise. Why then, if the separation of "Church and state," is the singular reason for being a secular state, in the case of Nigeria, why is that not the case for United States of America, David? I am asking you this question, here an now, because i am going by your past comments whereby you had boldly called America a Christian Country. Please you now have the floor to make your position clear to us. I dislike your shifting and flip-flopping stand on many matters, especially where you are rigorously defending the indefensible.

Thats how it always start. In the case of Jesus, unfortunated, it started when he was already lifted up. And being a true Prophet, he would have rebuked then those who say "in the name of Jesus," in the same sentence with God, if he were to be around, when they first began to say it. But in the case of Oyedepo, he relishes it and loves it. His love of it provides us the window to his veracity. The truth is that he is not a prophet, otherwise it could never have been coined up, as is or in any form whatsoever.

This is what would Jesushave done moment for the christian, in particularly, who started a religion after his name. Whereas they know that he never was a Christian, and never advocated that a religion be started, after he left the earth. But alas, Jesus worshipped and prayed to God. It is that religion that he observed, under which he prayed and worshipped God that people in Christendom need to find and join. And not some make up religion.

You can see from Oyedepo's new protocol, within a deviated protocol to worship, anything can happen. Just imagine what may happen if calling Oyedepo's name in prayer continues for the next few hundred years, in his church? Definitely, you will have 2 Jesuses: one a Jew and the other a Yoruba! Whats next?

I wonder if Convenant University provides scholarships for POOR CHILDREN?

What would Jesus do ? Help the poor abi.

People don't understand pastors are Humans and they have families and mouths to feed. They most importantly have Degrees in the Franchasing business model, thats what they study in bible school. How can my church have a growing branch. Not because of the souls, but because of the money.

I mean for everyone who starts a Winners branch, do you know how much that man is making?


If Jesus is king, let Jesus be king and not a mere mortal.

I agree with you 100%. Oyedepo did not say it yet some people are being so blind and hateful. For instance if you defraud someone with my identity should I be blamed?


In the Nigerian Economy of 2008, I'd like to know where you will source for funds to provide free education at the same standard of Covenant University. Honestly.

Indeed there is nothing wrong in the phrase . . . what is however wrong is the fact that these men of Gawd are so enamored by their own fame they forget how Paul the apostle handled the issue in his own time.

1 Corinthians 1: 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

davidylan : make u tell them jare.



like oyedepo died on the cross for them. Such Nonsense!!!!!

@Davidylan:

Baba Agba David, please tell me, whose name was Jesus baptized? In whose name were the 12 disciples of jesus baptized?

Please stop pedalling Paul, omo Boy! The whole gimmick rests on Paul's.

i think theres an underlying motive for this thread,its not about members of a congregation calling on GOD of oyedepo but to castigate the man some more, i honestly dont know what ppl want from these people,when tb joshua does charities and all that he is called a devil incarnate and all sorts of names and now its the oyedepo man too,im not a memeber of his church and i v never been there before but you cant blame the collapse of the nigerian educational sector on the man,we should be blaming our leaders having said that i think the government should streamline the laws governing charitable institutions,churches and all that to make sure they sponsor a specific benchmark of people per year through schools to qualify for tax breaks ,i believe with that most men of GOD will not knowingly break the law and it will help the church members as well

LMAO!!!

Most RICH PEOPLE IN Nigeria are not Religious Fools,  think of it. (Yes, include the corrupt politicians, Yes and  they continue to ENJOY thier lives and Spend OUR money. Kepp your eyes closed and keep praying oooh. Kepp on God will come down and work his magic. (hisses) )





Most religious folks who are RICH ARE PASTORS.
