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.

Lemme summarize d gibberish u wrote here. He has brought in his son too, and probably grooming him. So u see, it's family. I just hope he gives them( the two Bishops) a befitting parting gifts





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.

So if God is not involved in any church activity then were is God now Involve! Politics, movie or better still sport.

You need help.

Efuaye:
Ministers ought not to leave office in the manner that the civil service does..
They ought to continue serving until old age, unless there is a health concern..
Why is Bishop Oyedepo not retiring if you know what I mean?

heaven for real?
Haaaaaaaaaa!
Even your general overseers, bishops, apostles and other pastorprenures don't wish to go to heaven because they know the only pre-requisite to visit heaven is death first.
You can't understand

OldBeer:
You are sitting on a very long thing. His son, David Oyedepo jr, is currently being groomed to take over. He even preaches in one of the Sunday services at Ota.

Adonko:
what you forget is this is church hence a spiritual matter.. If you are truly a winner you will know better that Bishop cannot Just get up and take decisions... He hears from God before doing anything.

A case is when he said he saw a need in Japan as he was coming back that they need to cite a church there and was already drawing the map and was rebuked by the holy ghost.. "that even though there is a need there you are not the one am sending".

Oyedepo is not just an ordinary everyday man... He is a spiritual man deeply rooted.

Aksally:
It is obvious you are a member just like me and my family. But you allowed emotion over rule your sense of judgement.

Ask yourself, was it right to come up all these big grammar just to sugar coat injustice dine to these two faithful assistants. Why is the president of the commission not retiring?

These is pure dictatorship. I will not reply again. Peace be with you and I

Vision101:
When they retire, they become elders helping in teaching doctrines and resolving issues but not full pulpit activities

NamelessOGBENI:
The cannot is debatable.

Congratulations Bishop David Abioye,I was invited to living faith Kaduna so many years ago and he was the person preaching that day.He is a fantastic orator and honestly he is someone who will make you want to worship God.

But then again,so that ministry cannot be handed over to him because he is not blood abi.LFF should just hope he doesn't open his own ministry because he will split their congregation.

Wishing you the very best .Congratulations.

Appletek:
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.

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.

CaptainZubi:
Same oyedepo Jr who is running his own separate church with a separate name?
