Pastors Who Want Churches To Remain Closed Are Agents Of The Devil – Oyedepo by StagethemTVee: 8:49am On Jun 02, 2020
Presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo has said pastors who still want churches to remain closed are agents of the devil.

He said some pastors were angry that he said churches should be re-opened.

“But they are too diplomatic than spiritual, so they just keep losing ground to the devil! Some Pastors who were angry that I said Churches should be opened and we are praying that Churches must be opened.

“Now, ask them: “Do you want Churches to remain closed?” They will just be looking at you. Do you want Churches to remain closed? because I know you are a celebrated Pastor.


“Do you want Churches to remain closed? Then you are an agent of the devil. If your children scatter around and you can’t see them; they now say when do you want them to come back? You now say, “anytime”, then you are a witch.

government has already lifted restriction on place of worship but you should not pack people like ice fish into your auditorium.

It's not about people going back to "church" but back to "God".

The churches might be closed but God's House/Kingdom is always open.

Someone can be in the church but not in God's House/Kingdom and vice versa.

The most important thing is for people to be in God's House/Kingdom, not church.

The real "agents of the devil" are those who don't care about people being or entering inside God's House/Kingdom, but just their own church buildings.

Social distancing is no longer trending in the US as protests have stolen the show.

Rather than seek to know what YAH is saying and doing, because he certainly ordered these things to befall the earth, again we blame Satan.

Unfortunately, the Christian church hasn't learnt yet.

Let's wait for round two.

Was it not a so called church that a young lady, Vera Uwaila RIP, took refuge in because church is meant to be a safe haven and so she went in there, the church building, to study, only to be subjected to a suspected rape and grievous body harm that she later on died from the injuries inflicted upon her, hmm?

So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

The truth of the matter is that most pastors are keenly aware that the brainwashing of their flock wears off with the passage of time, thus their tricks to keep them occupied on most days of the week with useless programmes. You can then imagine their horror of an extended , enforced lockdown.

Many pastors who were noted for laying claim to incredible miracles were nowhere to be found when COVID-19 rolled around. When the challenge became too much, the scammers claimed that they had healed people online and left the physical specimens we could see to verify.

Rubbish.....any pastor who is more anxious to open his church at the expense of the health of his flock is a FRAUDSTER!

This here is not a situation of Satan fighting YAH as Christians like to assume because even devils serve the purpose of YAH when it comes to ISRAEL's chastisement.

This is the hand of YAH revealed as ISRAEL's redemption approaches. These are warning signs that YISOLELE (ISRAEL) might awake and REPENT. Christians will either believe this truth or be forced to accept it eventually.

Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I am not sure why your fixation is on Christians, when Matthew 13:28-30, is merely saying, let each be, let each continue to do what each is best at doing, if its being bad, so be it. If its being good, equally so be it. All this because pulling out the weeds, might inadvertently cause the wheat to be uprooted, so, the Farmer says, let both grow together until the harvest.

Praise YAH. Alleluia. Jesus is coming soon.

My fixation is on Israelites regardless of where they may be found. Incidentally, many are in Christianity.

The children of ISRAEL are not the weeds... they are the wheat. The children whom Satan planted in the earth are the weeds.

Israel should not be yoked together with the weeds, lest at the end, they be gathered up along with the weeds and burnt like in Mathew 13:30.

Nope it is for ISRAEL. Then Israel can be a light to the nations thereby extending the blessing. But instead, the nations have conspired to destroy Israel and erase his memory from the earth. But according to the scriptures, they failed!

By the way, the only African Americans angrily protesting on the streets now are the blind ones who are not in touch with the TRUTH of their identity as YAHUNDE (JUDAH). Thanks to Christianity that fooled us into believing that the world through the gospel is one big melting pot for both Israelites and gentiles to live as one.

The woke Israelites have been protesting ever since. And the real protest is not that thing they are doing. Why do all that and later go and patronize their pork, sea food, fake hair, cocaine, bleaching creams etc. You break shops and later go bow down to white Jesus, who is fooling who?

We who were already awake to the truth of our identity as Israel and of our affliction in the hand of our enemies, are not surprised at all. And like I said, there is more to come... these are warning signs.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another,
even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Israel, can be a light to the nations thereby extending the blessing, by obeying the 11th commandment as given by Yahushua Ha Mashiach clearly seen in John 13:34 above. C'mon nah, Mr d, the Gospel cannot exclusively be only for Israel/the Israelites.

"So you actually admit that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets!"
- Matthew 23:31

C'mon now, please don't be conservative with the truth. Israel, by her own doing, destroyed herself. God begged Israel stay, He literally was crawling over broken bottles, as He grovelled to Israel. He sent prophets to her, but what did she do. Israel and her sister, they killed the prophets.

C'mon nah, Mr d, are you saying that in light of evidences of Yahushua Ha Mashiach, first sent out His inner caucus 12 disciples, saying: "Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans" (i.e. in Matthew 10:5-15, Luke 9:1-6 or Mark 6:7-13) and then a few days later on, when the time was ripe, He switched gear and opened the floodgate, to the Gentiles and Samaritans, when He here then, appointed 70-72 other disciples and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit (i.e. Luke 10:1-20) that Gospel is not for all and sundry ni? You surely are not saying YAH's plan of salvation of souls, the redemption of souls and the reconciliation back to Him is for Israel/the Israelites exclusively, are you?

Baba d, note that, before the arrival of Constantine Christianity, the Israelites and others, have been romanticising with animism, Babylon mythology, Mesopotamia occult influences, ancestral worships, idolatry, spiritism et cetera

No one would in their right sense would ever approve of vandalism, thievery, thuggery, participation in civil unrest that involves damage to property and injury to or killing of other people.

We who were already awake to the truth of our identity as Israel and of our affliction in the hand of our enemies, are not surprised at all.
Who are the enemies? What do these enemies look like? What's their face like or names?

Psalms 83:2-7
[2]For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
[3]They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
[4]They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
[5]For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
[6]The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
[7]Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;


There they are listed.
EDOM is ESAU/ROME/USA/white Jews/White man. ISHMAEL are the Arabs (black Arabs)/ Muslim Jihadists and the list goes on.
They are in agreement for Israel's perpetual subjugation. That's the truth... I'm an Israelite, we take the scriptures literarily, most of the time.

I feel you Baba d, but I am sure, you know say pesin dey see road, even when pesin dey cry Mr d.
So this is it, if Israelites are black, thats taking it like that, for the sake of this matured discussion here, please how is the connect, that Esau is white, and Jacob/Israel his twin brother is black? How is the explanation for this?

donnie:
ISHMAEL are the Arabs (black Arabs)/Muslim Jihadists and the list goes on.
You seem here to give room to the idea that Arabs can be skin complexions other than black skinned, possibly white skinned and olive skinned (i.e. a middle between black and white skinned)

Werent these self inflicted and/or self-induced ni?

Abraham, with his self-defeating behavior with Hagar, was the architect of the ISHMAEL scourge and Jacob/Israel, with his cunning cunning man behaviour in cahoots with his mom, Rachel, was the architect of the ESAU/EDOM scourge.

This is just a matter of, you reap what you sow nah. It is has been like this from the beginning, talking of Eden, here. The genesis of subjugation, started after eating of the TKGE.

The seemingly perpetual subjugation of Israel, is only for the duration of the times allowed for the nations to do this are over (i.e. Luke 21:24). He who watches over Israel neither slumber nor sleep (i.e. Psalm 121:4)

Do not fear simple easy, direct and straightforward questions, don't be afraid of answering any those two questions, but fear sidestepping them. Be afraid of not answering the questions.
