PLS GO AWAY! We don't want pseudo christians anymore. They paved way for the destruction of christianity in the middle-east. We don't want them again. Please carry your kaya and GO. I think GOD would be satisfied with a few christians who will stand their ground and say yes! JESUS MUST REIGN! Than for multitudes who would sell their birth right for a bowl of porridge. I'd rather suffer when a christian is in power (so long he doesn't disrupt my relationship with my God) than for me to vote for someone who would make me feel like an outcast because of my relationship with GOD hence forcing me to change or i die? GOD FORBID! So long I have a relationship with my GOD, I can never suffer, I repeat, NEVER SUFFER

†he moral of †he letter is †o maintain †he incorruptible body of christ, not †hat †he christian leaders should be shielding †he corrupt leaders. Though we don'† know nothing αbou† †heir conversation, I mean Jonathan and Oyedepo, Adeboye, he might have appologised and asked for forgiveness but can/have we masses forgiven/forgive him? For †he pains he inflicted on us. Jonathan is simply like Cain who has been cursed by God, he shall not find rest, he shall not find love before his people......

Before I, Joseph JoBabs can forgive Jonathan he has †o do †he needful, †hat is addressing †he public on how guilty he is on corruption, so †he Christian masses can forgive him. Cuz †his wasn'† Wђã† he promised †he masses, and †he Pastors have no authority/right †o forgive him for his attrocities he commited, he should be told †o go appologise †o †he affected Nigerians before †hey can suppor him simply with †heir votes. Cuz if na me go meet them say make them pray for me them go teLl me †o go do †he needful before †hey can pray for me, so †hey should be bold †o tell Jonathan †o do it. Believe me, should he win †hat election, †he corruption shall continue and would never end.
But Jonathan believe me, if u are reading †his or anyone close †o him is reading †his, Jonathan shall never find peace before God.

God Bless Nigeria....

God bless you too.
My pastor whom I respect so much has also bought into that OIC propaganda. Sunday was scheduled as a prayer for Nigeria service in order to prevent "non-christians" from attaining government seat. I was too mad I couldnt even stand up to pray, had to walk out at a point.
When I heard an elder whom I thought was cerebral and intelligent say he will still vote GEJ no matter how disappointed he was, the anger and sadness that washed over me is a feeling I dont want to experience again.
If Christianity means supporting mediocrity, then to hell with it.

Who told u its only God dat can Curse some one? Its a lie Bro.Try and Read ur bible carefully.

muzzol:
Its hypocritical that people like you who dont want to have any dealings with people of another faith spend more time on facebook and nairaland. Are you aware of the religious lining of the owners of these platforms? Meanwhile, the fighter for Christ, how many souls have you won for Christ this year? is that not the service of faith he gave to christians? Do you know what you and your likes are? Extremists. Christian version of Boko Haram.

Letter To Bishop Oyedepo: Thou Shall Serve No Other God, By Adeolu Ademoyo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Bishop Oyedepo,

Based on the foundations of our faith in the Acts of the Apostles whereby as Christians we are urged by the living God to proclaim the Gospel with joy, great enthusiasm and minister to the poorest among us, I bring the word of God to you with respect to your decision to be part of the 2015 elections and what they hold for the poor and most vulnerable among us –the friends of our Lord Jesus, our Emmanuel-God among us.

Ordinarily, it ought to be presumed that as a Bishop of your Church that you are aware of this divine message, which rests on the divine unity of the Body Of Christ. But your recent decision which divided members of the Body of Christ in your Church-Winners Chapel, Ota, western Nigeria- when you openly asked them to pray for President Jonathan’s success at the polls, and, which led to the open resistance of your curious prayer point has justified this reminder.

The Incorruptible Body of Christ rests unmistakably on Joy To The World for that Joy To The World is at the core of His Word among us, which is at great risk given your embrace of the source of major corruption in the land-President Jonathan, who is the source of the misery, poverty, joblessness, un-employment of the poor and vulnerable who our Lord Jesus calls us to minister to and proclaim the joy of the Gospel to.

This message concerns the visit of President Jonathan to your church-Winners Chapel- at the thick of the 2015 campaign during your church’s third service on January 25. President Jonathan was in company of Mr. Jones Arogbofa his Chief of Staff and Mr. John Kenny Okpara Executive Secretary of Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Board.

Given the way our kind God is working for Change in Nigeria we have it on record that President Jonathan has been sending emissaries to some Pastors to pray for him meaning to pray against change. The information yet to be confirmed is that money is changing hands and the emissary in this transaction where money is being used in hot pursuit of Pastors and the Body of Christ is allegedly Mr. Okpara Secretary of Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Board.

Dear Pastor David Oyedepo, here is where you come in because you are one of these Pastors praying against Change in Nigeria. And this calls to question our call to serve the poor and most vulnerable among us by our God.

First, as a Bishop, you are expected to say the truth. As a Bishop, you are in the eye of the Nigerian Christian Community. Yes it is true that as Nigerians there are some of us Christians who can reconcile our Christian faith with corruption. There are some of us who in open disregard to the scriptures, which proclaim “They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption.
For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. ” Peter 2:19 would force a false reconciliation of the Incorruptible Body of Christ, the scriptures with the insane corruption under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Regardless of this, you have the faith obligation to say the truth before Nigerian Christian Community whether you visited President Goodluck Jonathan, and whether you asked members of the Body of Christ in your church to pray for President Jonathan who has never been a friend of the Nigerian poor and the vulnerable. So Bishop, I have a simple question for you: did you visit President Jonathan, and did you ask your church members to pray for President Jonathan’s success at the polls?

If you did, did you visit with other brother Pastors? If so, who are these brother Pastors? What are their names? Who organized the visit? Nigerians know that your brother Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria who is also supposed to be the president of Christian Association of Nigeria has sold CAN to President Jonathan as part of his campaign structure. Hence, we want to know if Pastor Ayo Oristejafor was part of this visit too.

Now these are what are in the pubic domain. Because the vast body of the laity across all Christian denominations of our faith who are closer to the street conditions of the poor in Nigeria have decided to defend the Incorruptible Body of Christ by distancing themselves from the corruption under President Jonathan, the president has panicked.

The president panicked because unmindful of the history of our nation, he has in a most divisive manner initially sold himself as “the Christian” candidate. That did not gain any traction among Nigerians and the Christian laity because President Jonathan’s regime seethes in corruption, and President Jonathan’s social and moral corruption stands in fundamental contradiction to the Incorruptible Body of Christ.

Hence, Nigerian Christian laity have decided to distance themselves from him in defense of the Incorruptible Body of Christ. This is because if someone is a Christian and he/she is going into politics, and he/she wants to put herself forward as a Christian, then such person must go into the roots of Christianity which is a service to the poor, the socially and economically broken, the lonely and the most vulnerable and socially disabled in our society.

This, the Christian-in-politics must do in defense of the Incorruptible Body of Christ. That is, we know a Christian candidate if there is one, and not the mere parroting that “I am a southerner then I am a Christian candidate” like President Jonathan is mistakenly doing in direct offense and antagonism to our individual Christian and moral consciences.

Sir, Bishop Oyedepo, a Christian candidate is not who is dubiously and on private, personal friendship basis anointed by the CAN president-Ayo Oritsejafor, a business man though a Pastor, whose role is transient and who like all of us mortals must account for his service and sins against the poor, before our God.

Rather, the Christian candidate is that who represents the “poor” roots of Christianity as a service to the broken and who then ministers to the spiritual needs of the poor as the poor is lifted out of poverty as we proclaim the Gospel with joy.

Thus a good Christian must run on an anti-corruption platform for the Body of our Christ is Incorruptible. Sir our faith is fundamentally irreconcilable to corruption. Because our anointment is an anointment to serve the poor ceaselessly without season, our anointment knows this.

Dear Bishop, I am not the one talking. It is a voice from the scriptures, which I commit to you thus “They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. ” 2 Peter 2:19

But on the contrary, Pastor Oyedepo, sadly, you stated your position on the nature of our anointment. Against, 2 Peter 2: 19, Pastor David Oyedepo, you brought in President Jonathan-a corrupt symbol of the negation of the Incorruptible Body of Christ and therefore of our anointment.

Pastor Oyedepo, you chose to abandon the divine roots of Christianity which is service to the poor, the vulnerable, the broken, the lonely and the socially ignored in favor of the artificially “mighty” and possessor of the transient and finite in our lives.

Pastor Oyedepo, against the voice of the lonely, the broken, the ignored, the economically and socially invisible due to poverty, you chose to align with the transiently “powerful” the finite, the mortal, due to the transient “power” of Oil money.

Pastor Oyedepo I put it to you, due to your worship at the altar of the transient, gold, silver and oil, you divided members of your church. It will take the restorative nature of the mercy of God to restore unity. This is why we must see the end and exit of corruption in our society and lives.

For our God gave us a commandment brought down by Moses form the divine Mount, which says “Thou Shall Have No Other god beside me”. Pastor, do you still remember this? When you bow before oil money as you do, you have created other gods.

When you divide members of your church through intimidation as you do, you have created other gods. When you secretly worship at the Mount of Corruption as you do, you have created other gods.

When you look at the poor straight in the face and you say, “I do not care… I care only about my oil and the money it festoons me with” you have created other gods.

But Pastor at this holy hour, just before the decision remember the voice of the poor from the Nigerian streets. At this hour, there are no Christians, there are no Muslims; there is no young there is no old, there is no literate and there is no illiterate, there is no south, there is no north, there is no west, there is no east; you only have the poor and the transiently “mighty” it is one body, one soul, one divine voice reminding you of the “poor” roots of our faith of Christianity in the Acts of the Apostles and commandment handed over to us from generation to generation saying and beckoning “Thou Shall Have no other god before me… Thou shall serve no other god beside me…” This is the word of our Lord.

Dear Bishop David Oyedepo I leave you to your Christian conscience and the loving and kind hand of our God of Change who is ceaselessly patient and kind and who will welcome us and you anytime we change and return to HIM.

Yours in Christ.

KingsalemV11:
To Hell with Christianity? You don't disown your FAITH just because you feel some people disappointed your expectations. Except you were never saved. Christianity is not a fad but salvation that comes as a result of forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ. It is life. If you have it, you don't need to throw it away just because your Pastor or one elder disappointed you.

ddefoe:
Bishop Oyedepo is free to support any candidate of his choice based on his own convictions just as u are also free to support and canvass support for your candidate.that he choose to support a particular candidate does not warrant trying to cast him in a bad light.more so,u are not the spokesperson to the poor and therefore not in a position to say if the present govt has neglected them.what I found in ur article is a politically motivated and biased write up calculated to shore up sympathy for ur prefered candidate.my advise to u is simple.don't hide under religiopus cloak, ur a pure politician with obvious bias opinion

sbaks:
are you GOD? Fine! He might have done wrong in the sight of our HOLY GOD, but abeg do you have a better option? What you should even be saying is that pastors should correct him in love. But to prefer an uncircumcised philistines who would rather trample on the message of CHRIST is rather disheartening. If you are in such a category then you CHRISTIANITY IS QUESTIONNABLE

linuxuser:
Sorry did you say.


Thank God you walked out of such a prayer meeting if not your sin would have been an hidereance to them because your word simply means you never knew christ in the first instance because if you do, you wont utter such a word like "then to hell with it" even in the midst of your highest provocation. Please go back to the cross. You surely have missed it.

JoBabs:
I'm not God, but †ha†'s Wђã† I'd simply do if in †hat condition. My Christianity might be questionnable but I ensure my integrity isn'† questionnable before man and God. Wђã† do u know αbou† Christianity? In Jerusalem, if u wanna climb mount Sinai you don'† clim in in broad daylight and u don'† climb it alone cuz of †he Arab and Jews who rob pilgrims of †heir pocessions, †hats an Holy Land for †hat matter ooo. Moreover religion shouldnt be brought into politics.

U talking αbou† correction, has he been corrected with love? Isn'† it †hat †hey are controversially seeking support for him. Le†'s face †he fact as a christian cuz CHRISTIANS are all followers of Christ, Jonathan has really failed Christians, while Obj who is a Christain was dere did we hear of any news †hat '†hey don'† wan† me †o contest for third term cuz I'm a Christian'. We have †o think as Nigerian. Would u say †he reason for ur Classmate's failure †o elect u as †heir class governor in 200L is due †o †he fact †hat u r a muslim?

God Bless Nigeria......

Good

May GOD OPEN YOUR EYES IN JESUS CHRIST NAME. AMEN. Only if you were a victim of their extremism

acidtalk:
Which Oyedepo?

Oyedepo the GATE KEEPER OF HELL? or

Oyedepo THE GUINESS WORLD RECORD SLAPPER THAT SLAPS INNOCENT CHILDREN? or

The Oyedepo who USES THE GULLIBILITY OF HIS SHEEPS TO MAKE HIMSELF THE RICHEST PASTOR IN THE WORLD? or

The Oyedepo whose university's architectural Aerial view of QUESTIONABLE AND SCARY CIRCUMSTANCE? or

The Oyedepo who named his school "CONVENANT" whereas my gullible Nigerian parents can't seem to think deep what covenant their children's destiny is signing with this man.


OYEDPO IS A FRAUD! CRIMINAL!! and NOT from God.

Can he still claim to preach the word of God if God takes away his entire "stolen" wealth?






MY PEOPLE ARE SHEEPS. THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN GOD GAVE THEM A BRAIN AND HEART SO THEY CAN CALL UNTO HIM DIRECTLY INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH ANYONE. MOST PEOPLE TODAY FEAR THEIR PASTORS MORE THAN THEY FEAR GOD.






















In other news:








THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE FEBRUARY 14.


* POWER : The power situation of the country will NEVER improve if this government remains in power, as the money bags supporting this government are the sole importers of fuel and diesel and they make billions of naira in profit everyday by gaining from the epileptic power situation of the country.

* SECURITY : Billions are budgeted for security but yet nothing to show for it , especially in the North East of the country. Jonathan has politicized the military and made it equally Corrupt. The military, police, sss only flex their powers at the opposition and harmless citizens.

*YOUTH EMPOWERMENT: Sure P and the likes are money siphoners the government setup to siphon money. Those who needed to benefit from it aren't as every penny is being embezzled by the same government.

*TRANSPORTATION: Before you start pointing at the railways which is Jonathan's ONLY achievement, ask yourself if that is the same kind of coaches used in this present day world. Brazil, Czech, Venezuela, Mexico and others just resuscitated their rail transport and each country spent FAR LESS than what our government claimed to have spent and with a more modernized end product.

*ECONOMY: Nigeria's economy is SINKING SERIOUSLY. Whether you believe Charles Soludo, Sanusi Lamido, and other economist or not, the truth remains that an economy tsunami is about to take place in the coming months. Over 30% of government workers, banks, oil and gas, Marine, insurance, fund managers, manufacturing will be out of job in the next few months. Ngozi Iweala and others can twist figures and refute the truth as much as they can but the truth is about to unveil itself soon.
