The 6 Bishops Who Left Winners Chapel and their new Ministries by Kaptainemeka(m): 4:48am On Jan 24, 2021
Here are the 6 Bishops that left and their new ministerial calling:

1. Dayo Olutayo

By the virtue of being a brother to Faith Oyedepo, he is an in-law to Bishop David Oyedepo. Olutayo Dayo Olutayo served the church in various capacities, including as the resident pastor of the Winners Chapel of Maiduguri and Nairobi Kenya Branch, before being transferred to the ministry of Abuja Branch and later consecrated as a Bishop.

The church ‘s decision to transfer him to Porthacourt did not go well with him in 2004. He later rejected the posting, denounced the bishop ‘s office, and consequently broke away and set up his church not too far from the Durumi, Abuja Church’s location. The upheaval caused by his resignation almost tore apart the former church. It was reported in some quarters that he had previously informed Bishop Oyedepo that he wanted to be released to start his ministry but was asked to hold on to it, the transfer now served as a good opportunity for him to fulfill his intention.

Today Dayo Olutayo is the Senior Pastor of Good Tidings Bible Church International (GTBCI), one of Abuja ‘s thriving ministry and his ministry has exhibited characteristics that qualify him as addresses with an apostolic dimension of divine favor.

2. Bishop George Adjeman

Bishop Adjman a Ghanian was one of Bishop David Oyedepo ‘s trusted disciples who worked in the ministry for many years and was ordained bishop. He was promoted to head Winners Chapel Ghana consisting of 14 churches distributed across Ghana. Later Monsignor Adjeman re-registered the church under his own name.

In 2004, after headquarters in Canaanland Ota, Nigeria attempted to transfer him to winner chapel Ibadan, Bishop Adjeman staged a takeover of Winners Chapel’s Ghanian branch after headquarters in Canaanland Ota. The Ghanian branch of Winners Chapel Ghana was started in 1996 and had already 14 branches, while Adjeman was transferred to Ghana in 2002. When Govt authorities in Ghana called for churches to be licensed as corporations, Bishop Adjeman outfoxed winners chapel went ahead to re-register the church under a new name, Winners Ghana chapel, omitted the names of all Nigerian trustees and took over the properties of their employers.

All attempts were made by the Pentecostal Pentecostal Council to address the ownership issue, eventually, two parties emerged and the church was spilled down in the center. The faction of Oyedepo (now known as Winners Chapel Intl, Ghana), and the faction of the Adjeman, known as Winners Chapel Ghana. The Oyedepo faction(WCI), which started again in the crisis of 2004, now has a network of more than 200 churches. However chapel of winners Ghana led by Adjeman has plunged from 14,000 members to 1,000 members.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
