Tudor,
What exactly are u doinG since your graduation, a lot of people that graduated from same school with you have all gotten good jobs, Dont u think you should get yourself busy with other things instead of these undue criticisms,i have follwed your postings here and don't know exactly what or where to place you. I thank God you can deceive only a selected few because just like the man Bishop Oyedepo will always say"Only Fools doubt Proofs". If your friends where sent out for not being able to pay their fees like you claim and u were fortunate to graduate what are u doing to impact your generation?, How can you make the necessary change you expect from men of God, It is very easy to sit down and speak ill of others, let the expected change start from you Now!!. You belong to the set of people who watch things happen instead of making it happen. GET BUSY BROS, MAKE NEWS, NOT NOISE .
I've got a good job and I'm doing fine thank you!

As for impacting my generation, i do that by being a good citizen and paying tax not like oyedepo who is a criminal, a two kobo crook who takes delight in spreading fake "prosperity gospel". . . .he's living in affluence with peoples money while the members are still "believing god for a miracle". - keep being deceived!!

Many times he'll declare "I can never be poor!" - the stupid members would be cheering shouting "glory" "glory"
, the mumus don't know it's their money he's feeding on and declaring he can never be poor.
The crook would even declare "I can never be sick" yet his wife was sick with life threatening stroke and he flew her abroad why didn't he heal her?
I thought god sent him to liberate the world using the "word of faith"- why couldn't he heal his wife using the "word of faith" - rubbish!

thanks for the pictures and links oh wink

This queen of Sheba- was she crowned by Ghadaffi and where does she say she's from?

Is she planning to become the future ruler of Africa and maybe one of Ghadaffi's wives? First time I'm hearing her name.

and what's with the Indian outfit?

lastly, why is she being given so much publicity? I'm sure she's not the only one with a "queen of sheba" portfolio.



from her or their website:


The African Continents Kingdoms

At present there are over 350 Major African Empire Kingdoms and several thousands primary Royal Kingdoms thereof and Royal Chiefdom  therefrom, of the Nubia-Kush Lines covering the African Continent, together forming the massive African Continents multiple ethnic populations. The Major Kingdoms are the largest and eldest in ancestral lineage, from which the Nubian Sheba Empire the Mother Empire of the Empires is the eldest. This ancient of ancient Lines Empire is born of the throne of Shebah I daughter and throne heiress of Nimrod/Narmer Kush Empire. The Empire was thereafter called the Empire of Sheba of the Empire Kingdom of Nubia the Mother Throne of Nimrod/Narmer through Father Kush/Hor-Aha, which comprised of the 5 family lines Empire Thrones of ancient. After a line of descendent Imperial Sovereigns Shebah Makeba II was born, and became even more renoun in religious history thereafter.

In the era towards the end of the 25th dynasty after attacks and internal conflicts a major part of the Empire coptic lines exodus deeper into the Empire inner African Empire regions for protection of the blood-lines against deadly attacks from outside. This critical moved expanded and formed the thousands of the Empire Kingdoms throughout Africa that has surived and multiplied since the dawn of time, surving all the trial and tribulations that the Empire has faced. In time, to protect the Throne, during first the Aryan within the Empires Asian lines, thereafter Ottoman within the Empires African/Eastern Lines, and shortly following Roman invasions with Africa, the Empire created a an internal protective adopted name that became knowingly/unknowingly a common reference within the lines of Kingdoms and Nations still today, that of Mother Africa.

The Mother of Africa, the Mother of the Kingdoms and Nations, the first civilisations and birth-root, Africa`s one primary and most critical social identity as a people, in unity with that of thier ancestors of Nubia of the throne of Shebah I.

Today one Major Kingdom Line can comprise of several to several hundred Kingdoms over a population that is cross-border throughout Africa. The Kingdoms do not have National Borders but there pre-colonial and Pre-Nationalisation Kingdoms Borders, that criss-cross National Borders.


African Kingdoms Federation Imperial Central Government is the Central Kingdom Government of the Royal Kingdoms of the collective Major and sub-Kingdoms Nations or that within Africa called the Kingdom of the Kings of the Kings

King of Kings is the title Ghadaffi gave himself, maybe supported by this sheba queen and other negro chiefs.

ujunel, you and your ilk are decieved beyond measure and you dont know it. I started getting suspicious of this "word of faith" crap from nigerian pentecostal churches when i started college. My friends spent WAY MORE TIME memorizing psychological babble than the real scriptures.

ujunel:

I thank God you can deceive only a selected few because just like the man Bishop Oyedepo will always say"Only Fools doubt Proofs".

This is psychobabble . . . its too bad that its what counts for "gospel" these days. Where is this in your bible? Did Paul not say - Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

The bible says BY THEIR FRUITS (NOT THEIR PROOFS!) YE SHALL KNOW THEM. Did Judas Iscariot not cast out demons too? Did Simon the magician not perform magic? Did Pharaoh's servants not turn their sticks into snakes too? So are you lot also not fools for doubting such glaring "proof" that pharaoh's servants are also from God and Judas Iscariot was bound for heaven by their "miracles"?

ujunel:

If your friends where sent out for not being able to pay their fees like you claim and u were fortunate to graduate what are u doing to impact your generation?

1. That some were sent out from a school built with the blood, sweat and tithes of the poor faithful is a HUGE SHAME and a disgrace to the body of Christ! Where was the love that the apostles showed us in acts?

Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.


2. Is this how the church now "impacts their generation"? Was that the commission Christ gave us in Matthew 28? To go building schools only affordable to the rich?

More religious but spiritually empty psychobabble drilled into the heads of those who have long forgotten their bibles but hang unto every word that comes from the bishop's mouth. What is the spiritual benefit of the making news instead of noise?

What news exactly did Christ ask us to go make? News of building the largest church on earth in the most corrupt nation on earth?

What a shame.

The "church" is nothing more than the personal religious empire of those who have crowned themselves kings on earth. The bible is simply the tool by which they brainwash the lost who think they are going to heaven.

Please show me anywhere the gospels record Christ asking His disciples to chant - "i will not be poor". What a fantastic way of developing the spirit of covetousness and greed in the hearts of those who are supposed to be laying treasures in heaven.

Much as we try as human, our wisdom can never comprehend the workings of God. We may chose to believe in His works through men or we may chose not to. This controversy has been existing for millions of years, since before the time of Christ. Theologians, astrologers, scribes and great men of intellect have had at one point or the other, to analyse, interprete and criticize the activities of God through his prophets. Even the Jews doubted Jesus (some till this day) and they have their facts and postulations to prove that. embarassed

I can only advise those fighting in defense of men of God being regularly bashed in public forums like this, to save their energy for better endeavors, while those who delight in proving how they (meen of God) are all a bunch of no-good charlatans, should try and resist the temtation of judging people, especially those who claim to be from God. sad sad

If Jesus were walking the earth today, some of us on this forum will argue that no DNA test has been done to prove his claim to God's parenthood. May every man be led by his own convictions, but enough on this campaign of calumny already!!!

abeg, if not for my long response that was deleted, you'd too know more.


Ghadaffi was crowned African King of Kings by some negro chiefs, a few years back. Or maybe last year.
And in any case, how does your comment negate my post? Ghadaffi clearly wants to redraw the African colonial borders back to the time before Europeans introduced western Christianity.

google BBC and see if they still have the king of kings link.

Keep up with the times my brother.

anyway, I'm sure the sheba woman has something to do with Libya.

does anyone know where she's actually from?

You are absolutely correct.RIDE ON MY BROTHER.We should not forget though that most of the Pastors in Winners Chapel are managing in as much as "I CANNOT BE POOR" is been said and preached.The situation is critical and it has to be addressed before more people fall into the whole craze of "CHURCH".If you want to be a Christain follow the bible and not human.It is that simple.I attended Winners Chapel for years and as a matter of fact my mum is a DEACONESS in that church.I have Uncles and family friends who are Pastors and Bishops.I never believed i would get to this point of speaking the truth as i was blinded like most people on this thread are.

Please people open your eyez and stick to what the bible says.I never read anywhere in the bible where Jesus was said to be living
in Mansions.Jesus was able to relate to his disciples and ordinary people, these so called "MEN OF GOD" are Semi gods and cannot be seen or touched.

Because majority worship PAPA

He doesn't need to force noone but the way he is worshipped, people will want to be associated with him or the school.
did he say dat his wife wld neva be sick?
When you are married you automatically become one.He says he can never be sick, so it is only logical for his wife to not be sick.Besides why should a Bishop not be sick and his household be sick, does it make sense?
do xtians have to be poor?
No afterall Muslims are comfortable.So why should Christains be poor?
is it a crime to be very rich xtian-cos if u guys kp condemnin him,how wld u knw if anoda 'real xtians' wealth is legit or not?
Nobody said it is a crime to be a rich xtain, my pain is do not decieve people to get your wealth because Jesus never did it.Jesus was rather giving to the poor, which lots of these so called "Men of God" don't do

http://www.yesumulungi.com/index.php/apostasy-watch/330-is-nigerian-bishop-david-oyedepo-bullying-ugandan-pastors.html


Ugandans got ‘invaded’ by a Nigerian Prosperity Gospel and Curse-Deliverance Czar, Bishop David Oyedepo, of course at the invitation of his branch Church in Kampala, The Winners Chapel. Bishop Oyedepo flew to Uganda aboard his own private Gulf Stream Jet and welcomed by throngs of his followers in Uganda.

Bishop Oyedepo however, found Uganda reeling back and forth at the news that Pastor Robert Kayanja, Uganda’s Prosperity Gospel guru had been accused of Sodomy and molesting a young boy, with a police case filed against Kayanja. Uganda’s Evangelical Church is undergoing a shaking and a divide between the Prosperity Gospel preachers and those who are calling for Sound Doctrine and Leadership Accountability.

It must be remembered that back in the 1990s Bishop Oyedepo caused controversy in Uganda when he opened up his Winners Chapel Church and had people line up and drink Olive Oil so as to receive the prosperity anointing and prosper in riches. Among the Oil Drinkers was Pastor Joseph Sserwada of Victory Christian Center in Kampala who led his church and followers to the Bishop Oyedepo’s conference and the Prosperity Olive Oil Drinking binge begun.


It was at that time, that Pastor Martin Ssempa of Makerere Community Church stood up and openly on National Radio Rebuked Pastor Sserwada and told him to stop drinking Olive Oil in search for material prosperity and wealth, as it was unbiblical and a heresy.

Uganda’s Evangelical Churches were shocked as no one in Uganda had heard any Pastor openly rebuke a “Powerful Anointed Man of God” like Pastor Joseph Sserwada. We thought that Pastor Martin Ssempa was going to drop dead and be cursed the rest of his life because our Pastors taught us then “never to touch the Anointed Men of God”.


However, Pastor Martin Ssempa still lives to this day and is well and alive. My life never stayed the same ever since, I grabbed by critical thinking, reason, and intellect which I had cast aside in fear of “touching the anointed men of God” and decided I would never take the so-called Men of God at face value… The Ayedepo Prosperity Olive Oil drinking movement faded away.

Yet still Bishop Oyedepo flies to Uganda aboard in his private Gulf Stream Jet and is received with all pomp by his Ugandan Followers, after which he lashes out at genuine Ugandan Pastors who are calling for accountability, purity, and Sound Doctrine among Uganda’s Evangelical Church Leaders.


In his conference in Kampala, Bishop Oyedepo castigated those who ‘speak against the servants of God’ and claimed that the Church in Africa had lost a decade because of infighting between Pastors…

“…He said that Christianity would disintegrate if religious leaders did not stop bickering. “The Church has lost her sense of stewardship and the role of transforming society. It has started disintegrating,” Oyedepo said, urging pastors to get back to the Bible truth instead of fighting one another. Quoting the Bible which says that Christians are the light of the world, Oyedepo said: “Anytime the Church stops shining, darkness will cover the earth.” For a decade, disputes have engulfed Born-again Christian churches, with pastors accusing one another of dishonesty and ungodliness. Today, prominent international evangelist Robert Kayanja of Rubaga Miracle Centre Cathedral is struggling to uphold his reputation as fellow pastors, led by Solomon Male, accuse him of misconduct. Amid applause from thousands of believers who thronged the conference on Thursday evening, Oyedepo said it was not biblical to defame a servant of God…”
Sunday Vision, May 17, 2009: Church has lost sense of Focus
http://www.sundayvision.co.ug/detail.php?mainNewsCategoryId=7&newsCategoryId=125&newsId=681570

Bishop Oyedepo seemed to totally be out of touch with New Testament Scriptures and instead took on a ride with his populist comments among undiscerning Ugandan Evangelicals. Rather than call Ugandan Pastors to Sound Doctrine and Accountability, Bishop Oyedepo lowered himself to levels of simply playing Church Politics in order to throw support for his Prosperity Gospel comrade Robert Kayanja.  

1 Timothy 3:1-3
(1)  This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
(2)  A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
(3)  Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

Titus 1:7-11
(7)  For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
(cool  But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
(9)  Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

Bishop Oyedepo seemed to conjecture that Africa’s dying and decaying Evangelicalism is a result of bickering among Pastors. Such thinking is not only simplistic but a form of escapism and deliberate ignoring of the duties of the office of a Bishop according to the New Testament, which calls for making sure the saints keep to Sound Biblical Doctrine.

Bishop Oyedepo forgets that he is supposed to contend earnestly for the faith that was delivered to the saints because false teachers and false prophets have with stealth entered the Church. Instead Bishop Oyedepo flirts around with the need of Pastors to return to Bible Truth after which he engages his audience in ‘Escapism Talk’, avoiding the Real issues affecting Uganda’s Evangelical Church and then he engages in ‘Positive Possibility Talk’ by casting his apocalyptic futuristic vision for the Church, a.k.a. his opinion about the future of Africa’s Evangelical Church.

Bishop Oyedepo should be ashamed of himself, why did he waste all his money and jet fuel to fly all the way from Nigeria to Uganda to simply engage in the “Don’t Touch the Anointed Men of God” Mantra? He should have simply sent handouts to Uganda to feed the poor with labels “Don’t Touch the Anointed Men of God” and his message would have been widely received.

Bishop Oyedepo did not even consider that the people he is trying to throw support for might actually be involved in Crimes of Child Abuse which could cause further embarrassment to his “global ministry”.

It is a shame that Bishop Oyedepo failed in his ‘Overseer’ Office to call for repentance, accountability, and sound doctrine among Ugandan Pastors.

Bishop Oyedepo should have been appreciating the efforts of the “small and little” unknown financially poor Ugandan Pastors who have been faithful to The Lord and His Word and have gone all the way to expose criminals in the Church and call for accountability among Ugandan Pastors and the need to return to Sound Bible Doctrine.

 

", THE Bishop of the Nigerian-based Living Faith Ministries, commonly called the Winners Chapel, David Oyedepo, arrived in Uganda yesterday for a three-day gospel conference. Oyedepo, who arrived at Entebbe Airport aboard a personal jet, was received by a group of pastors and believers. He was driven in a 20-car convoy to Kampala, "Source: New Vision May 14, 2009: Bishop Oyedepo to preach at Africana

Those “small” Pastors might not even afford an economy class airline ticket to Nigeria but at least they have not sold their integrity and faithfulness to Jesus Christ and His Church. Those “small” Pastors deserved to be encouraged rather than ridiculed by a Nigerian Prosperity Gospel Kingpin flying with all pomp to bully poor Ugandan Pastors.  

Besides his prosperity gospel and pomp, Bishop Oyedepo has built schools, clinics, and a University in Nigeria and many have benefited from his generosity by gaining a free education. However, Bishop Oyedepo should remember that you cannot separate the Cross from Charity and the Gospel from Giving. It would do Ugandans well to tell us that first we are sinners who need to repent rather than give out handouts and take the true Gospel away from us.

Yet Ugandans crave for accountability and are tired of corruption of both Politicians and Pastors – for the Priest, Prophet, and King are corrupt in Uganda and Bishop Oyedepo seems to wink at them,

ladygaga:

is CU a missonary school or his personal business?

Personal business. I remember early 2000/2001 when i first started going to winners with a friend, we would give 2 offerings . . . one for church and the other for CU building. when it was completed i was asking my friend if his younger ones could attend the school since he and his family had been faithful members since the church started in Kaduna in 1982 . . . of course the cost was just too high . . . and we never got our offerings back.

Those who now attend CU are sons and daughters of rogues who would never even step within the walls of the church.

My friend got married at Winners and I was his best man. I remember how the junior pastors nearly went crazy when he gave them envelopes padded with cash.

They kept on chanting, "Your marriage is blessed by Jesus", "You will experience total prosperity" blah blah blah.

The Holy Spirit didn't tell them that his wife-to-be was already pregnant.

The Holy Spirit didn't tell them that he had fathered a child outside wedlock.

The Holy Spirit didn't tell them that he had dozens of lovers.

They were just after his money.
