It is well!


Only FOOLS doubt proofs.

Me, I've seen this thing work and it works GREAT! Like I said to each his own, Salvation is a personal race afterall.

Is it christlike to slander a man of God whether or not you think he's doing God's work?

Jesus IS Lord, but He worked as a Carpenter and paid His way

Peter was called the Rock by the Master Himself but we know he was a fisherman and sustained himself by his work

Paul wrote most of the NT and boasted in his work that he didn't take anything from anyone but paid his way. He made tents for a living.

Your "living legend" - what does he do for a living? Sure He believes, don't YOU? Why are you all so dedicated towards idolatry? Why not follow the Bible's Word and look onto Jesus, the author and finisher of faith? Why hasn't your legend's faith BTW, translated into blessings for the majority who attend his church and cannot pay the fees charged at his university for their wards and children?

You just sound like a broken depraved idiotic record chanting "I love him I love him, jesus is too far so its oyedepo I love" over and over. angry

KunleOshob:

It is not about being rich or poor, it is about the fact that oyedepo is one of the false prophets the bible warns us about who would twist and distort the scriptures for the sake of extorting money from the flock. It is quite obvious oyedepo is NOT doing the will of God but only feeding his own greed. The gospel of Jesus is not about earthly material possesions that prosperity pimps would like to have you believe, it is the gospel of the Kingdom of God and how to get there and your oyedepo is one of the preachers that specialize in twisting the teachings of the bible for material gain and in the process lead several away from the kingdom of God. At least you won't say you weren't told, if you like keep on believing in a man instead of focusing on the teachings of christ.


Preach on brother Kunle!

I thought only kids worship money and those who flaunt it, " for the love of money is the root of all evil, " hello!

BINGO!

If we think he is not "doing God's work", doesn't that make him fair game? undecided undecided undecided

Like I said to each his own.
I'd ask if you were a christian, but that'll be wasting my time as well as yours.
There is no point beating around the bush,,,The truth is that I became a Christian before you did,,,Its only if you became a christian before 1989 that you probably would ve been a christian before me.
Beyond that,,you raised issue about Bill Gates,,,ve you found out the truth yet Pls be humble enough to post or comment on the truth if you eventually find it out.
Furthermore,, Let me tell you that I was once in ur situation; its called unguarded zeal,,,which ultimately results to superfluity of nautiness,,thereby,,making you susceptible to manipulation.Much more than that,,,I can clearly state that I knew,met and had been under Oyedepo's teaching before you did,,except if you knew him before 1990,,,My very first contact with Oyedepo was at Airport Hotel 1990,,,where he debut his prosperity message tagged "Breakthrough Seminar",,,
Whether am a Christian or not is strictly ur own business to crack!!!

The question is not about slandering,,,when the Bible told us on the last days that there would be MANY false prophets and even the very ELECT if they re not very very careful they too can be deceived by the boastful gluttonous sweet mouthed of these false teachers,,,
Did you not read in ur Bible where JESUS went to the synagogue and saw people trading and merchandising in the house of God,,,and Jesus destroyed all their merchandise,,,Haven't you heard or read about the barean christian in the Bible??Now let me tell you a story;
Joel Ostein is popular preacher in the USA,,,he once made a wrong unscriptural statement on CNN,,,his church members held him to ransom that he should go to same media to refute that statement,,and he did,,,tell me how many of ur Nigerian pastors would or can do that? As a result of the incessant complains here on NL,,RCCG Head quarters were forced to make certain unscriptural statements on their websites,,,,
Many of the truths being discussed here on NL are actually been assessed by these so called men of God or their agents,,,Not quite long ago,,Pastor Tunde Bakare who happens to be one of the few Nigerian pastor I respect,,,granted an interview to a magazine in nigeria,,,,and almost all the views that Kunleosho has been emphasising here on NL were strongly UPHELD by Tunde Bakare,,,
If you must be sincere to urself,,,open ur eyes clearly and see,,,

@joe4christ:

People are judging him? Well how's this -

Did you ever read the Bible? Do you know you're not supposed to follow idolatry? When you make graven images of God like with the picture included in your message above, do you realise that is idolatry? Now telling you this - am I judging you or simply reminding you what the Bible says?

Better pick up a copy of the Word and read rather than reading daily prayer guides.

Corrected!  grin

btw.  .  . you know how it is now, they're taught that the word itself is "difficult to grasp". Thats why you need your pastor or church's devotional, where its "simplified" for you  grin grin grin

Oyedepo bad, Adeboye bad,Chris Bad, catholic priest bad(U.S)
Now every Pastor, Preacher that is in the limelight is bad, gradually people have started loosing faith even those that have been in the race for long, i will just say watch it, there is something behind all this.
One of the reasons that will make the anti-christ accepted is because all religion would be deemed to have failed, and only he has the solution

What does it take to be a living legend? can a poor man be regarded as a living legend? As per Bishop Oyedepo, has anyone asked where he is getting the millions from? Could it be from tithes and offering alone? I honestly doubt this. The magnitude of the project he has done is much more than what the tithes and offering can explain. Does Covenant University belong to him or the Church he is leading?
These are some questions that need to be answered before we start crucifying or commending anyone. If the source of fund is the tithes and offering, then why is he the living legend instead of the church members?
The problem is that NIGERIANS LIKE TO CELEBRATE WEALTH EVEN WHEN THE SOURCE IS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY. I believe that one day God will raise up someone in Nigeria that will want our 'suddenly rich' religious, political and traditional rulers to tell all of us how their sweat earned them the wealth they have so that all of us will be able to practice their hardwork in order to reduce poverty in Nigeria.
The fact is that:
1. the bottom of riches STINKS.
2. Many are involved in MONEY RITUALS; embezzling/stealing money belonging to the people including being allocated oil wells by their friends in govt while the inhabitants of the oil rich region languish in poverty.
2. Claiming God's promises as they preached does not bring cash from heaven -'if a man does not work let him not eat'. so what work do our own 'wealthy men of God do- we know Paul, Barnabas worked?
3. So called charitable giving should not blind the mind of the people from asking for the source of these unexplainable wealth.
4. We know those in govt have access to public money and they unfortunately steal to their satisfaction, but tithe and offering do not belong to one man- so where do they get the wealth from?
5. 'Erelu Jesu' will need to throw more light on all her confessions- she may be able to provide some answers to many of the questions.

Has xtianity now become an issue of wealth, money and being a legend etc. do we now need the praise of men.

Its great to give to God, my over 20 years as a xtian has shown me that. However its so unfortunate to see a man of God who base his whole message on prosperity and nothing else. these wealth you see is temporary (a thing of the world). Money can achieve so much in doing God's will on earth, but the love of money is also the root of all evils. A lot of pastors actually need to sit down and consider their ways when it comes to the issue of money and riches.

My own very pastor borrowed money from me and did not pay me back, after 18 months, I left the church because I just cant understand why he should treat me that way. When he got to know I left for that reason, he didnt even apologise, he only tried to psyche me and refuse to admit that he wronged me. The fact that one is a pastor doesnt mean he cant make mistakes, afterall he is still human.

pastors actually needs our prayers, so they can do God's will alone

A Christian can only prosper thru his giving

2 Corinthians 9:6-8
6 But this[ I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,[ so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God[ is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all[ things], may abound to every good work:
