If Abioye is out, who is the empire being handed to? I hope Oyedepo is not thinking of giving it to his wife because it will be the decline of the ministry.

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless! Man writing CONSTITUTION for God's body, please is it acceptable?

jubrilELsudan:

LordReed:
So basically, all the senior men that started the church with him are now all gone. LoLz.

Aksally:
My Brother, if you are Christian, you will not be angry and threatenedme with death as punishment. Ask yourself, which do you believe, Mandate or Bible?

All those you have listed above succeeded not because they mopped the church floor but by grit and determination to succeed. Because for every 4 members you listed above , there are thousands of other members who couldn't make it pass 20k a month 'achievement' who not invested sweat and blood but all of themselves.

Brother continue to worship man.
Long time ago, I have conditioned myself to listen to men to comprehend and audit their motive.

I will never condem you for your stand, please don't threaten me with 'Perish' again. Peace.

When will BishopPreneur Oyedepo retire?

stagger:
Just talking anyhow. The rules are clear in the church's constitution known as the Mandate. Even Papa Oyedepo, having reached the age of 70 years, will exit the scene as the overall head. He will be in a supervisory role. Adeboye did same in Redeemed some years back. Many pastors who headed regional offices of the church like Titus Olayemi Oludairo have retired since.

The leadership is now tenured.

Business is Business

Only the Founder will have the privilege of a lifetime of service

Them don turn church to Politics Abi wetin we go call this one now .. They're are pastor , bishop,priest , evangelists, clergymen etc and they ought to remain in the work as long as they breathes .. make Una no turn this thing to business for God's sake ...
E con be like say them retire some managers for some managers

MartinCorridon:
Kai. These guys are ruthless.

From boldly scamming people of tithes for decades ...

To scheming their loyalists out of the chance to succeed them.

After dangling the dreams of successorship infront of them....

You dropped retirement age from 60 to 58.

I can see " believers" I.e. 🧠 dead mumus still defending this obviously Machiavellian move.

Haba. You've to be blind not to see thus glaring act of strategic displacement.

If these 2 guys had known this was what Oyedepo had planned for 2024, I doubt if they would have asslicked for decades.

SocialJustice:
I'm not sitting o, only observing. Hard to let the empire go to non family.

Hoelujohn:
He is the owner

sexiestharam:
In the mandate, he is exempted from retirement.

Lifestone:
The two Bishops are about 65years each and yes they are aware of the Mandate and well prepared for the retirement.
I believe they will both become Preacher at larger, being invited across Nations. They could start an online Ministry too. The space is so large for them.

bdon123:
They say na lifetime....see sense

iykofias:
Board of trustees for church?

ogaemma:
The only man who was perceived to take over from him have finally been pushed out.
Now the stage is fully set for his son to take over from him.
When you say Church is family business, those who forgot their brain 🧠 at home will come after you.

NoToPile:
Not a member but I salute and admire Bishop Abioyes loyalty over the years.

Lots of wonderful ministers in different churches like that who understand that not everyone is meant to be a GO and they serve God in a ministry supporting whoever God has placed there.

That aside, I think it just means they won't be pastoring a branch they would be very much around.

LordIsaac:
I align with your side of the argument. Scripture supercedes any mandate. A mandate that reserves lifetime office for the founder, but retires men who built the church with him from the start, is one that must be called to question!
