The way ministry is designed, Paul Eneche, Ibiyiome, are supposed to learn under the experience of Abioye but now Abioye will consult them, no matter what! I do not rule out his achievements, but one must know when to stop dancing. Can relate the story of Laban and Jacob? Jacob said " I have been serving you all this while, when should I prepare for my home?" To me, Abioye has a closed mind. The politics in the church is more than the politics in government. I studied church history, I can boldly tell you that Oyedepo also learnt under someone. Most of the people that desire absolute loyalty don't give it to others. Immediately I stepped into the Canaanland I could see there is a big problem on ground. In the next 10 years you will see, that many churches will spring out of winners.
I may disagree

Bishop Abioye did the right thing serving Bishop Oyedepo

He was a very humble and meek man

God rewards not based on Man's perception

Also kindly note that having biggest ministry isn't or shouldn't be the highest goal

But doing the Lords will and purpose should be the real goal


I recently read up on John Wesley the founder of Methodist church

He died the year1791
But his work he did is still relevant today as Methodist church

We humans are mortal

All these our pursuits are ephemeral
Doesn't last

God is the constant
And pleasing him should be the ultimate goal


So God's work will continue to florish and prosper till the Lord returns

Because God works in mysterious ways that we humans can't fathom

His ways are past understanding

At the bolded......so every christian that is poor does not pay tithe and live a sinful lifestyle? Yes or no?
Read and comprehend - the bolded clearly stated that not every Christian is an actual or genuine Christian, that was the point.

and the final part of my write clearly states reasons for poverty of genuine Christians

But it seems you just want pick out an argument where there is none.

Your question is obviously a stupid question cuz i even stated the story of a genuine “man of God” (from the Old Testament) that was poor.

Was David Abioye Spiritual Prowess Being Stifiled Under Oyedepo All These Years?

Despite hearing the name David Abioye for several decades, (which wasn't unusual being the second in command to David Oyedepo founder and GO of winners chapel), it was only recently after his forced retirement from the church, that I got to know what he looked like and also what he sounded like, and I must confess that in the few times I have heard him speaking, I have already been impressed with his level of spiritual depth and understanding.

It's profoundly strange that this was someone that was serving under David Oyedepo for so many years, yet I have never felt the same way about David Oyedepo despite hearing him preach countless times, including when I was still a member of CGM, and attended several annual conventions when he was invited as a guest speaker.

Even while I was yet a sinner and wasn't as spiritually discerning as I am now, but could still discern spiritually deep preaching and teachings from those which were shallow, I have never been impressed with Oyedepo's preaching or teaching, how much more after I have not only got saved but also born-again and begun to walk at the highest level of spiritual walk where it was all about God?


Yet I heard David Abioye speaking only a few occasions and was wondering if he was really the same person that was with Oyedepo all these years or if it was someone else.

It was indeed baffling and made me wonder if David Abioye's spiritual prowess and impact wasn't stifled all these years, and if it wouldn't have been much more beneficiary to God's Kingdom had he parted ways with the church much earlier, especially considering the way his loyalty and service to Oyedepo was being rewarded with retirement when he still had so much more to offer in the work of the kingdom.

He also appears to be thinking along these lines considering that he has already launched his own ministry shortly afterwards, so could it a case of waiting too long before doing the needful?

It's better late than never though, at least the world can finally get to hear and partake of the spiritual riches that David Abioye has got to offer without any more hinges.

God bless.
Bishop Abioye has not started his own ministry please. That is fake news. Anything anyone says as a spinoff of this story, has no foundation. None totally.

That said, understand that men of God are only vessels that ultimately transmit God's Word to us. Not every man of God is called to be your pastor, even within the same church.

As for your talk of being stifled, you forget that Joshua only emerged when Moses was gone, and no one heard of Elisha until Elijah was taken. No ship can have two captains, and no company can have two CEOs. No country can have two presidents.

You should have shown me where Joshua or Elisha was forcefully retired. Trying desperately to use the Bible to justify man-made nonsense by all means.

Bro, no matter how that guy listens and re-listens to Oyedepos teachings, he will still say the same thing. So let's just let him be. But in order for him to avoid any further embarrassment, he should never repeat same comment on any other platform be it social or conventional media or even physically

Here they go again. The spiritually blind hypocrites in the order of the antichrist Pharisees marauding as Christians in NL, that would only clearly see pride when it's not in their noses or those they support, but only in others especially those they hate.

Please carry your baggage of spiritual ignorance to the spiritually blind who can't discern the Truth just as yourself.

I didn't make this post for the swines who were blind to the things of spiritual quality and would rubbish them, but those who can see and appreciate them for their true value.
Please rest.

Your post reeks of extreme carnality. Zero spiritual substance.

If you have come across the bible verse below, you wont make this silly post like a very careless child undecided

1 Corinthians 3:6-8
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

So if a genuine Christian today does not tithe but live a sinless life, can he or she be rich?

Dear Writer,

Spiritual authority and depth is earned tru the exact paths that God has put before you.

Skills, knowledge and spiritual gifts are not enough.

Many people like Bishop Abioye coz he seems humble, I believe that is one of the reasons why God allowed him to back Bishop Oyedepo for many years.

Bishop Oyedepo is an aggressive lion, and needs someone close with some calm, worded and balanced appeal to carry the ministry weight.

If Bishop Abioye is not called to patriach a ministry pathway by himself, he would not have gotten to where he is today.

It is only the hand of God that gives a voice and makes a man great. And this has to do with obedience to his will or burden.

* * Arguably, even the greatest man of God in Nigeria today, Pastor E.A Adeboye did not own a church. Not a single parish of RCCG belongs to him or his family. . but becoz he connected himself to God"s needed move for that season, his name was established tru God's name.

Whereas, God permitted Bishop Oyedepo and some others to create paths and establish churches directly.

God bless you.

Many are of the opinion that Bishop Abioye is good, they may be right. Though, I've never listened to him.
I've tried listening to Bishop Oyedepo a few times but I found his preaching very boring and tiring.
Pst. Chris teachings are just something else, I can stay a whole day listening to that man.
He is worded and his voice is magical too cheesy

what are you waiting for , start your church already, or did anybody come to your house asking you to pay tithe or forcefully enter your Bank account and withdraw an amount as tithe , that made you open your empty brain calling someone a scammer
I don't need your permission. Will open it when I want.

Thank you for describing your parents appropriately. I agree with your assessment
Re: Was David Abioye Spiritual Prowess Being Stifled Under Oyedepo All These Years? by etrange:
I'm not super religious, but this I know; the way you feel about the sermon of a pastor is mainly a reflection of your preferred communication style as an individual and not an indicator of the pastor's spirituality or lack of it. Therefore, comparing the two men based on that alone might be fallacious. Nevertheless, not hearing/seeing the second in command of a religious institution despite being a member of the said institution for a long time might actually point towards lack of proper delegation structure.
