Bishop David Oyedepo, Founder and President of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, has blasted those criticizing him over the recent sack of over 40 pastors from the gospel ministry.

Recall that a pastor of the church, Peter Godwin, weeks ago cried out that the church management led by Oyedepo, sacked him for allegedly not generating enough income from his branch.

The pastor who had alleged in a video, that he was relieved of his duties over a low-income generation, said he was sacked alongside 40 other pastors.

But Pastor Oyedepo while reacting to the viral video said the ministers were sacked for not being fruitful and according to him, the church has no regard for failure.

His reaction, however, triggered more controversy as many concerned Nigerians condemned the act accusing him of being too money minded.

Following the numerous criticism, the African richest pastor, on Sunday said he has the right to employ and to sack as he wished.

He restated that the sacked pastors were unable to carry out their functions as expected, referring to them as sick, unproductive, saying they should not survive.

On criticism over the building of churches instead of factories to help alleviate hardship from members of the church, Oyedepo urged critics to mind their business.

His words; ”Keep quiet my friend and face your job”.

He revealed that the United Kingdom certified that the gospel ministry is “one of the best-run charities in the UK”.

According to him, “Our rural church planting is going on. All the offerings from rural Churches for the next 40 years cannot build what they are building for them because I learnt some fellows were saying that, “It is because they don’t have an offering that is why they said they should go.”

“It is because you are sick, you are unproductive, you will be plucked out. We sent you to go to the villages to reach out to a minimum of 12 souls in a week and ensure that a minimum 6 of them come to Church. Then 6 months, you don’t have 10.
You are unprofitable, you shouldn’t survive”.

“Sound management brought us here Sir. Keeping unprofitable servants makes you a poor manager. Businessmen hear me now: keeping unprofitable servants makes you a poor manager. You have a right to resign, we have the right to sack you. It is a system, it works like that everywhere.

“Living Faith Church is building 100,000 seat auditorium; did they collect money from you? “They should have built a factory”: who told you? Do you budget for somebody’s resources? Keep quiet my friend and face your job. All-round rest.

“Those talking against us enjoy hearing from me, so I like speaking to them. Even UK government agree that our Churches are one of the best-run charity in that country”....

...you are unproductive you shouldn't survive...is Oyedepo God!!?.. this bore headed man is really becoming annoying and boldly unspiritual...

Is he really talking about winning souls or membership thefts?.. someone that already belong to a church that preaches same Christ like you and you drag the person to your own church, that is membership thefts and not soul winning.

If you attend Living Faith abi Winners Chapel, just be informed that you've not started going to Church. If you like, debate it with your opinion or view. You're just 1 customer in a business centre

Reaching out to 12 souls every week and ensuring 6 of them come to church. I am sure even the Bishop will not be able to achieve this feat if he was posted to that rural area.
And saying they should not survived, is he insinuating they should die or what?

"We sent you to go to the villages to reach out to a minimum of 12 souls in a week and ensure that a minimum 6 of them come to Church."- Oyedepo

So how does one ensure that a minimum of 6 of the 12 souls attend Living Faith church?

Of course, by preaching to them whatever they wanted to hear as was usually done in your church, not necessarily the Words of the Spirit which they need to hear as Jesus did.

That's how a friend of mine, came under undue pressure and started preaching what he ought not preach because of such worldly based targets given to him by such church leaders.

I have said it before and I'd say it again, if Jesus were here such church leaders and Christians who reason alike, would also call Jesus a failure and unproductive if He were here, because many of His disciples would leave Him and only a few would remain, because He'd chose not to preach the Words of the flesh which people want to hear which would make them remain with Him, but the Words of the Spirit which they need to hear that would make many of them leave.

But wisdom is justified of His children, such as those few disciples who remain with Him because of the same Words of the Spirit He spoke.

God bless.

if they are sack for been unfaithful good of that but if they are sack because they don't win souls as assign to them,hmmm...... it is very wrong cos they can not coerce anybody to repent or force any person to become a believer. In The Act Of The Apostles The Spirit Only Added As Many As Are To be Saved When Its The Right Time Not That He Added As Many Souls As The Apostles Said Must Be Saved.
