I am not sure but it an East African country.

They don’t get it. The gifts and callings of God are for a lifetime. They will keep speaking until you stop speaking or contact can no longer be made with the carrier of the gift. Elisha’s bones raised the dead! Keneth Hagins books still minister Grace long after his death. Get understanding.

LordReed:
I doubt it. Bishop Oyedepo has billions in personal investments. He was given an actual gold mine for instance.

**Numbers 8:24-25 (NIV)**, it says:

**"This applies to the Levites: men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting, but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer."**

Here, the age of retirement for the Levites is set at 50, not even 58.

So it is very Biblical.

It is an open secret that David Abioye Jr. always say that na im papa God called not him. he isn't interested becoming a pastor (I stand to be corrected though)

sexiestharam:
Rest Mr. Man/Woman. I have been a member of this church for 30 years. Where did you see that when winners pastors retire, they become elders? Are you seeing double? Is that part of the mandate? Or you know the church pass me? Don't come hear and say things you don't know with confidence!

etrouble:
Your head no correct at all

iramure:
I would have said AMEN. but I'm sorry, I don't believe in prayers

Appletek:
Just look at this one.
Best children, better than the things your mother produced?

You have dedicated your life to unending folly.

Let me tell you something, I knew about you this more than 10 years ago.
So, I was privy to see the Trustee Documents of LFC and in that document, Oyedepo, Mama and David Jr. were listed as Trustees. Abioye was also listed but David Jr. was higher than the Abioye. Aremu wasn't posted at all.
When I saw it, I smiled and shook my head.

We all know what we are doing. All of us.

Vision101:
In RCCG and I believe that it's almost the same for Living Faith, retired senior pastors only stop being permanently in charge of parishes. They are assigned other roles like going from location to location to enforce doctrine of the church, resolving issues and other things that the GO might assign to them. They are regularly invited by pastors in charge to anchor programs etc.

In RCCG the age is 70 years. They cannot set up their own churches.

I do not expect you to understand, but I will try to explain. You can choose to throw what I have said away, fine. But I will say it.

This is the first set of generational change in Winners. The present crop of young ministers are in their 40s. It makes a lot of sense to still have the old guard (who are between 63 years and 70 years) to still be in the background providing guidance. If there is a misstep anywhere, there is room for correction. Someone like Bishop Abioye has been there from the beginning: since 1981. FORTY-FOUR YEARS. For goodness sake, do you want them still preaching at 90 years like Bishop Frederick KC Price, or at 80 years like Charles Stanley?

Many of the vice presidents of Living Faith, the ones in charge of local missions, foreign missions, WSF, etc, are all at the retirement age or close to it. By making the leadership now a maximum of 14 years in tenure, those who take over the leaders who are currently in their 40s, will be close to 58 (if not already at 58) by the time 14 years is over. Then a new set takes over. That is how you put a system in place to avoid the kind of succession chaos that almost took over Benson Idahosa's church, Synagogue when TB Joshua died, and SBJ Oschoffa's Celestial church when he died in 1985.

Look at the secular world where you have leaders like Paul Biya who is 90 years. No plan for succession. If he goes, who takes over? Who provides guidance to the younger rulers?

Look at Dangote. He is now 67 years. He has realized age is no longer on his side. He has brought in his daughter and she is now part of the team. He is still there providing guidance. When he is out of the scene totally, she would have found her feet totally.

True leaders put in place proper succession structures so there is no chaos when they are gone. Winners has a clearly spelt out process in the constitution of the church, THE MANDATE.

Sadly, many so-called members of the church have never even read it.

God punish all terrorists!

From IDF to Boko haram to bandits to supporters like USA, God punish you all!

Israeli template from Yahweh has always been to kill and destroy: October 7 na just camouflage!
