expertfingers:

How are you so sure about this, Pastor Kun?

Do you sincerely believe everything about bishop Oyedepo and his ministry is wrong? Do you think he is an agent of the devil?

It is one thing to point out excesses, it's another thing to throw away the baby with the bath water.

I will like to know your view about the questions I raised, though.

If you add a teaspoon of poison to a glass of water the whole glass of water becomes poisoned. That is the case with Oyedepo's version of the 'gospel'. He claims he was called by God to preach prosperity gospel but this is a blatant lie because prosperity gospel is not found in the bible neither are the principles it is based on. Infact you have to twist scriptures actively and manipulate people like oyedepo regularly does to arrive at the so called prosperity gospel. Clearly it can't be from God. The only person that is obviously benefiting from this so called gospel is oyedepo himself whilst the rest of the congregation continue to pray and hope. The bible makes it clear that a true man of God should not love money but in oyedepo's case he is clearly obsessed with money. He is obviously not serving God but his own belly.

Clap for yourself Ok. Now how do you know what is from God, how grounded are u about the truth from God. Pick ur Bible and read the epistles of paul and read that of peter. They both had different callings, would you say because Peter and Paul didnt agree on all issues that one of them wasnt actually sent of God?

I guess not, ur understanding about a mandate is based on what u have been taught and groomed in. I have read other theologians and their theories, God gives everyone a particular message for a particular set of people. Oyedepo has a mandate built upon faith, prosperity is a sub of that madate. I advise you look for the book "Pillars of destiny"

And please can you tell me how different the calling of peter was from paul.....??



All we know is that all the apostles were never wealthy persons....never ever!!!!!.....

They all lived lives free from the love of money and the amassing of material possessions.....

Oyedepo and his colleauges are nothing like the early apostles of Christ......

Paul and peter had different views about evangelism. Would u do well to remember Ananias and Sapphira in the bible when they brought money to the house of God.

They might have had different approaches but they preached essentially the same true gospel unlike the poisoned one oyedepo preaches. Also non of them was into greedy accumulation of wealth that oyedepo is notorious for.

The möney was to be shared among the poor and not for paul & peter to buy roll-royce,private jets,mansions e.t.c. There are kids out there in dire need of food,water,shelter and medical supplies and a pastor is busy acquiring jets for missionary purpose in london,southafrica not afghanistan,iraq,somalia,maiduguri

Who are we to judge a fellow human being?
If he has money and he decides to buy private jets with it, why should we be bothered?
If you feel he is not doing the will of the Almighty God, leave him for God to judge; he has a case with God and not with man.
Afterall the race to heaven is a personal one.

The much I know this is not judgement. Speaking out the perceived wrong doing of a man is not judging him. However, God has the final say on the last day. But if I see anybody do bad thing I go talk.

And then what happened??

If you read that book of acts you would find out that the money accrued from the contributions of those christians were shared to the needy christians who had come from far and wide for the festival of pentecost......the apostles never used those monies to buy chariots and employ roman soldiers to protect them....they never used those contributions to live large while the remaining christians remained poor......

Infact the apostles had part time jobs ,that enabled them assist the poor amongst them......

And who are u to judge. Why is it that people have been blinded by what they see. Who told u that he is using the church money to buy his Rolls Royce, the Jet belongs to the church and is used to for church outreaches to foreign countries.

Wealthy people in the church give personal gifts to him and he uses it to live well. Must he die a pauper because he is a pastor.

We are not judging them we are rebuking them.

Did any of the apostles die a pauper? Even if he use 90% of all he has now to help the poor, he will still feed well well.

Why do you think he isnt feeding the poor? So he must sell his Rolls Royce before you know he feeds the poor.

Mother theresa Of india comes to mind. If only our pastors can learn from her. She served God and humanity. Christ feed 5000 people but reverse is the case in nigeria. The 5000 will feed the pastor. A generation will rise and say enough is a enough.

@ pastor kun,
I am not supperised at this post.JESUS speaking in Mathew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. You are just showing the true meaning of yor name -anti pastor. Howerever Oyedepo is a blessed man for so said JESUS Math 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

I have known Oyedepo when he started the church from his flat in Kaduna 1981. One thing his fans will not believe is that "O da ogbon si ni" confirmed?
He used voodoo power to breakforth. The old hausa man who performed the ritual was given N20,000 then in 1985 and told him to relocate to Lagos. One thing about voodoo power is that, it takes brain to keep rekindling the fire of it. That was why oyedepo changed into prosperity scenerio. In kaduna, he was not into prosperity and was not famous. The voodoo at work. The truth is, he is a ritualist. I can confirm this in ten places. It is just that he is smart, intelligent and creative. He also yearly pays his due(blood) to the society he belongs. I have known this since 1999. Some years ago when he dare not to pay his due, he was attacked though many people never knew.
Lets leave him alone. Watch out all these my lies after his death, the cult he belong would claim his corpse then all eyes shall open.
He had a clash with his inlaw who head Abuja church, not because of money as many though, but bcs the refusal to be initiated just like what he did to his son who heads UK. Samething to man who head Ghana some years ago, initiation!
Pls, leave Oyedepo.
