lol keep telling urself whatever to make u feel better

but b4 that maybe u should check out his net worth and rethink all that u said , and u said he could have invested in oil and such , first of all how do u know that he hasn't done that in secret second , hes not an idiot if he should just plainly invest in a business it would cause issues for him cause it'll be like he's using the church money for himself which is essentially what he is doing

and when u say that the church owns all these farmlands and properties does that mean that the members get their cut? that is , after the profits are made it is distributed to the members? lol, who the hell owns the church that the properties belong to , who determines how the profits are shared and what goes into each pocket

my guy free urself

Stop telling lies. He does not receive any gifts that can pay off half of our national budget. That's insane talk. Even illiterate market women don't share such absurd tales. He owns no oil well. He himself says he has no business according to the OP. Oil well is a business. He is a seller of snake oil and that's the only business he's involved in.

In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with tales they have concocted. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.

Dalam0n:
You haven't invested any money because you lie to people and they give you money. Why else will you invest money into any business when you already have a thriving business of selling snake oil?

Nukilia:


1 Timothy 6:5-10 King James Version (KJV)

5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Universities are not investments but a ministry. Oyedepo is smarter than pouring money into schools for the purpose of profit... He used 30 billion naira to build landmark. That money is capable of building 9 big factories that can generate him and his family cool cash for life. All the factories/farms in Canaanland are owned by Covenant and serves as IGR for the uni. How many real business men do you see investing in university building? Dangote? Otedola? Elumelu? Adenuga?
If Oyedepo wanted to do business he could easily venture into Oil and Gas, Telecoms, Banking and Financial secor, Investment banking and not build Covenant university.
And no the universities are not for profit. It takes 12 Covenant student school fees to pay the annual salary of just one professor. The school has over 120 full time professors with 7000 students. Start doing the math and maybe you would understand universities are not for profit ventures.
If Oyedepo was into business even your Dangote would be a learner in terms of financial networth. But no he isn't!

In 2008, Bishop sent all the car gifts he was given to various church branches to be auctioned to members. I personally know 2 people who benefitted, buying multi-million naira cars for less than half a million.

The gifts he receives alone can pay off half of Nigeria's budget. There is also talk that he has an oil well. Perhaps Leke Beechroft can help us out here.

He is not on your level.

Poverty and hardship mentality is our problem in Nigeria.

19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

NnamdiEducamia:
I am not a member of Winners Chapel, A.K.A Living Faith.

But I hate it when I see struggling fellows criticise a man that has influenced millions of lives, paid the required price and had given his all to his calling.

Jesus was also criticised, accused and murdered.

If Bishop Oyepedo is getting it wrong, set up same system and structure and get it right. Can you pay the price?

Many followers of Bishop Oyedepo has testified how their Lives changed on encountering him. I have read his books and listened to his messages and my own life changed.

If you are good at what you do,, people will follow you. Humans are looking for results and solutions.

Even if we mention TB Joshua here, you will also find what to say!

Friends, it's time we apply wisdom!

I desire to prosper more than Bishop Oyedepo! God is not glorified in POVERTY.

Izognok:
It is so funny how struggling people argue about wealthy people. They are even quoting, unquoting, misquoting, hyper- quoting the scripture. Let me laugh small Hmmmm! And they do it passionately. Chai! Wisdom is truly scarce.

As long as Oyedepo has not committed a crime, and all he does is in line with the law of Nigeria, he is free to do whatsoever he is doing. He is left with his conscience if he is doing what is right and just.

I read that pastor Tunde Bakare said he funded El Rufai's political ambition with 160 million naira. Well, he has not committed any crime too. I leave him with his conscience too.

My criticism does not change anything; therefore, I will rather use my time to run after productive activities instead of finding faults with wo(men) we think play smart with the law.

Whether they brain wash "mumu" people to get rich, or they speak like angels when driving home their points, are both not important issues to me. I am going to run my race, and face it. No one wins any race by focusing on competitors, maybe Bolts, the ex Jamaican athletic olympic champ should be consulted. Just like Paul advised, I will focus on my own race.

What people do not understand is that the worst judge is our conscience. It condemns so deep. You may silent it while you breath, but when you turn cold six feet below and start decaying, it resumes its condemnation in a powerful way, and does it till eternity.

Oyedepo's works follow him. They will follow him to his grave. So, I leave him with his conscience. If truly his intentions and his works are in line with his words, he is justified. As long as the standard measure of men to judge him has not be violated, he is a free man on earth. Only his conscience I can refer him to.

Nukilia:


2 Timothy 3:1-5 New International Version (NIV)

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—


5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
