I just dey look you dey laugh!!!

A man's true wealth is not merely in how much money he possesses but in the ideas he has and his ability to produce values while impacting lives.

In this regard, Oyedepo, Otedola, Gates, etc, will do just fine even when you strip them of all they have currently.

Just humble yourself and learn a thing or two about success!

Make he try leave church na. Whether he no go sweat like chrismas goat!

StarGra:
Did Oyedepo beg you,when winners chapel started?
Even his 20th generation can never beg you or anyone around you....

Kpele

This is your personal opinion...

Shiloh 2021: Why David Oyedepo Will Continue To Be The Richest Pastor In Nigeria Till Death

As a Pastor and not a businessman where do u think he made his money??

If he was a businessman I will completely understand his business ideas and all. Or is he also a businessman on he side?

I don’t like ambiguity and confusion.

Where do Rich pastors make their money from??

You twisting the narrative to suit your mind. He never said spiritually rich. There is none of the attributes he mentioned that has anything to do with spiritual qualities but physical human functions! Stop being delusional

For you as a Christian to measure a pastor with physical wealth shows you need revival of the mind. If someone is measuring Jesus christ based on how many donkeys he has, isn't it your duty to correct that person. The goal is heaven and whatever material things present in the church is to propagate the gospel. As Christians you should be the one correcting others

LordReed:


Elon Musk doesn't have faith yet he is the richest man and supremely confident too. Faith might play into it but it cannot be even the majority of the story.

Faith is not even mainly for wealth making or accumulation to start with, neither is it by any means the only means to get wealth. Just like selling electric cars isn't the only route to great wealth. BTW, is Musk now the richest guy, i used to think it was the Amazon fellow.

They had the scrolls

Karlovych:
He will continue to prey on the gullible sheep that cannot think for themselves, Jesus never owned a donkey or a school in Bethlehem, Galilee, Judea or Nazareth.
He fed the poor, healed the sick whenever he ministered to people unlike these ones that only need you to sow a seed to enrich themselves and their families.

I ji ya! The earlier people begin to have sense,the better for them because then they would stop falling prey to these business men.

Wereas some of the member hardly eat 1meal a day not to talk of 3, well it is well

specialmati:
No he will continue to be in riches because he is in the service of a kingdom thats created wealth.religion is not scam in Nigeria I think government is the scam.the reason why most of you guys attack the church is because the country is being mismanaged by the government.

Church is as much a scam on its own just as government is.

IWillRiseAgain:


Lol. You probably missed the point of the post

YOU LIED
You are member of his church.... No dey lie jare ...

Not someone like oyedepo. Here in my area I have roads repaired by churches. Let's stop deceiving ourselves

Is your place idiroko road or sango it's road?

brutal1:
you that you are not suffering from generational poverty is here hailing someone that is using your "at all at all" to build his own wealth. Shebby when they mention the richest pastor in Africa na your papa name dem dey mention....his children are the heir to your investment in his ministry ...you see how smart you are !

Am smarter than your generation my brother. Anyone that is smart won't speak against a man of God. Is there any title as richest pastor in Africa? You guys always conjure that title to persecute the body of christ.

Odidigboigbo:
Those your so called "fools" you are unworthy to be their gateman.

Sadly I agree with u. Many top executives and people in church giving money to pastors or rather God as the case may be.

He is the richest pastor in the world and not just Nigeria post of correction there

The glorification of religion to the status of the ultimate essence rather than a more tempered interpretation as a vehicle for attaining the existential essence makes Life meaningful and tolerable especially in the overwhelming abundance of coexisting contradictions like Life and Death, Health and Sickness, Wealth and Poverty, love and Hate and so on especially when the nature of life is by default absurd, mysterious, inexplicable, obtuse and arcane to human understanding! Thus, elevating religion to the status of being the ultimate reason of existence rather than a means of attaining a desirable existence. Helping the disappointed faithful to cope with the failures of his efforts or attempt at a meaningful existence despite consistency, piety , dedication and morality! However while this misinterpretation of religion gives a false sense of security and immunity from the ‘vanities’ of the world it also robs the adherent of rational thoughts, free will and self determinism!

It is safe for congregants to consider the financial ascendancy of the churches they worship as a tangential achievement to which they feel connected when in reality the true beneficiaries are no other than the direct signatories to the bank accounts where ‘God’s money is domiciled! This feeling of belonging to something significant and elevated soon replaces the sense and consciousness to their very own personal reality, taking solace in the recognition they feel from the sense of community they share in their religious gatherings! Accommodating poverty as God’s will, temporary , a test of faith, a function of sin, and so spins the simple mind in the whirling confusion of false doctrines

Pastors are Humans and Humans are at best beautifully imperfect as perfection only exists in immortality or divinity! The equation of spiritual leadership with the deity of the godhead as portrayed in the actions of the laity that have been drunk sick on the opium of sermons of instant miracles and dramatic financial turn arounds is in itself blasphemous and antichrist as accountability of leadership is one of the virtue of ideal societies! Religious Leadership is exaggerated and enabled by a poverty of means, mind, and being! The state of being of the Nigerian Christian is automated and dogmatic, the average ones can’t even prove the reason or the worth for their existence! A pathetic cycle that sadly ends only at death

Here is a philosopher!

Stop fooliing yourself. I have a very rich business man fixing a 5 kilometer road completely with drainage and asphalt overlay here in my place

How many times have you heard anyone mention the richest Imam in the world. Or are there not imams that have private jet in Saudi? Always quick to join forces that are against christianity

Went to Ota recently for a meeting and I notice the entire place has no single motorable road , moving around Ota was hell and it got me thinking why Living Faith will not close eye and fix some roads especially those leading to the Church grounds

Even if Oyedepo rebuilds Ota, some one like you will still come here to say he used your money to do so. If you want to hang your dog, any rope will do...mtcheeeew

Jesus lied then, when he said, "foxes have dens and birds nest, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head

This is a parabolic statement. Simply means he's not going to rest till he draw men to himself. He wasn't talking about a house.

How does everything u said negate the info provided in d article?

senatrpaichulo:
I'll answer you, Jesus had everything he needed in his disposal. He had his own apartment in a ship. He turned water to wine. He needed a donkey, he didn't beg for it. If Jesus was on Earth today, he'll own the biggest Private jets. He'll speak out against government same way Bishop does. Jesus never lacked anything. Even when he died, he was buried like the Rich. Jesus showed us why wealth, transportation and everything is needed for the gospel. This is our generation, donkey and boat is not trending.

There is a difference between not lacking and been rich mumu. Jesus got the basics things he needs to survive.

Jesus didn't turn water to wine for himself but to the Glory of God and for others.

Where did Jesus have his own apartment in a ship ? Show me for bible ?

Biggest private Jet Kwa?....If Jesus didn't own a horse, which was the most prestigious animal and transport means at the time, why will he own a private jet at this age....Think with your brain man n not with your anus.

Jesus been buried in the tomb owned by a wealth New doesn't mean Jesus was rich....

Jesus showed us why u don't need wealth to propagate the Jesus because by all standards Jesus was not a wealthy man n didn't come from a wealthy background

60% of industries in Nigeria are owned and run by those that believe in Jesus, and these are the companies you pray everyday to work with.

God bless my BISHOP.More progress for you IJN.
We your children are also making exceptional progress in our various endeavors changing the world positively.

Every word that comes out of your mouth is backed with power and great wisdom

Bad Belle, make Una face BUHAR.
Lol.

Oyedepo Fanatic spotted

Daddy G.O ain't Jesus & they can't even be compared, so stop ur delusions of making jusfication for unnecessary materialism

I'm a child of God who understands the plethora of his riches in glory. Heaven has streets of pure gold. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. If bishop was a poor man speaking against the government. He would have been arrested and jailed.

I am a Christian but see this your article is the height of self deception. Bishop Oyedepo and other men like him cannot be poor primarily cause they are being heavily funded by the rich and poor folks alike. They have carved a niche for themselves and they are doing well. All these stories are very irrelevant.

As regards the bad road, it is the fault of the govt. Govt refuse the church fixing the road themselves but that they should give them the money for them to fix. So the Bishop refused even since GEJ period.
