I deeply felt the absence of Pastor Abioye at this year's Shiloh. I thought despite being retired , he would still be present, but it was so shocking that he was not there.

Watching the event on TV yesterday, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of longing. I've grown to admire and appreciate Pastor Abioye greatly, and his absence was deeply felt by me yesterday. I am not a Winners, but honestly I love BISHOP ABIOYE so much .
He DID NOT retire, rather, he RESIGNED.

Who can be said to have retired?

A person is said to have retired, if after his last official function, he No LONGER DOES THAT DUTY AS HIS PROFESSION OR VOCATION.

Doing it as his profession would mean doing it as his day job for which he is paid a salary or wages and labour laws would apply.

Doing it as a vocation would mean him having a strong inclination to it and even though he recieves a stipend at regular intervals, cannot be said to be earning a salary or wages because his work is not based on labour laws neither is the renumeration based on demand and supply or the work load. E.g catholic priests and nuns.

So, if he, Abioye, went on to open his own personal ''ministry'', as they call it, then he has not retired, he only resigned from his former place of work, and has now moved on to another (his own) establishment.

If he retired, he would no longer wake up in the morning and go to his office to do the same duties of a pastor. He may be called upon to help around when there is a need that needs fulfilling in the meantime, but he or his organization is concious of the fact he has retired and would have to find a more lasting solution.

If he is called to assist at a branch, he would oblige but not let his acquired status and wealth to trump the resident pastor's authorith.

He may even offer advice to the resident pastor, but would also understand that the pastor is at liberty to ignore it. If it is ignored, leading a catastrophe, he won't tell the pastor ''you see, I told you'', rather, he would simply ask what they can do to make things right.

Abioye was the only one that gave Winners Chapel a positive look outside. Now he's gone, Oyedepo and his family Plc have taken over fully. Yesterday it's was Steve Ogah his Son in law coordinating. Then Bishop Oyedepo himself preached. This morning it was Pastor David Oyedepo jnr. preaching and later mummy Faith Oyedepo. And I said what a sad scenario iam witnessing. If after 40 yrs all the leadership you can boast of is just you and your family members.
What does it imply? It's a family business...not god's

Anyone who has been following Shiloh event year in and out will realise what you are saying above. Indeed, Bishop Abioye's absence is very obvious to everybody attending and viewing. He was not invited, but will the Church raise other leaders to fill his shoes? If God wishes, other people will emerge. God does as He pleases.

Ah MadamVanessa, you were de hate Yoruba with everything, still de follow Yoruba man church . grin grin Abi you're always bittered and toxic in politics, but have a difference view in religion. grin

Concerning the topic, I observed that too. Omò church na family business, the earlier we know this , the better for all of us. If you like go and be a slave for a pastor, when the time comes you'll be ditched.
That's why I refused to attend this year Shiloh.

Hmm it is well.

I actually thought the retirement stuff was not total absense from the ministry but they would still act as elders or something.

But then come to think of it, does God retire his ministers. Who or what inspired the retirement? Was it God?


God has blessed him and I always salute the man for his loyalty as someone as I have admired from far.

I don't think so

We humans always judge from our limited perception

We think having a big church makes us great before God Almighty

You will be surprised that Bishop Abioye is considered much greater before God Almighty

Big church, Big ministry, Great wealth etc is considered amongst Men as great achievements

But before God those things doesn't really matter

That's why Christ said in the Bible that in judgement many will say I did mighty things in His Name

But He will tell them depart from me you workers of Iniquity


What is highly of Great value before God is in Galatians 5 vs 22; fruit of the spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, goodness, gentleness, Faith, meekness against this there's no law

If Christians model there life's according to Galatians 5 vs 22, our world will be a better place

We will reflect the virtues of Christ more to a dark world.
