Senior Pastor and Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, has admonished Christians, urging them to desist from criticizing men of God.

The revered clergyman said such behaviour attracts dangerous punishment such as leprosy.

Oyedepo gave the warning during the Leadership Empowerment Summit at the church’s headquarters, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.

According to him, many critics of his ministry must have becomes victims for failing to heed the warning which is based on spiritual insights.

He said; “Beware of speaking hurt against the Ministry you claim to be part of advancing, it’s a risk. Beware of speaking hurt against a Prophet you claim to believe.

It is dangerous. It can make a man leprous. It is dangerous. We don’t have the data of how many victims may have come from this warning, but I know quite some would have been victims.”

Excessive use of social media kills destiny – Bishop Oyedepo warns youths

May 22, 2021 No Comments

Founder of Living Faith Church worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo has admonished youths against the excessive use of social media.

Oyedepo, who is the Chancellor of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, gave the warning on Friday, May 21, during the 15th Convocation Ceremony and Conferment of Honourary Doctorate Degrees and presentation of prizes at the school.

The cleric noted that the negative impact of social media on youths could not be overemphasised, as it makes them lose focus and rob them of their destinies.

In his words; “The social media saga has eroded the substance of destiny as it has unconsciously robbed youths of their future and their time.

“The honour of this generation has been wiped off, chatting all day with no time left to think, plan programme and engage productively in the pursuit of any task.

“Some professionals have classified social media addiction along with drugs, alcohol and sex.

“Social media that is supposed to be a plus to the youth, suddenly became a minus, as everything of value is delivered through investment of time”.

He noted that life without a vision was an adventure in frustration and that life without a bearing was a burden.

According to the Chancellor, only those who know where they are going ever get anywhere.

“No one ever arrives at a future he cannot see, neither does anyone arrive at a future he is not prepared for.

“It is time for every youth to wake up from slumber and take his/her destiny in their hands,” he added.

Oyedepo further advised youths to get out of the nest by engaging in strategic planning as everyone was absolutely responsible for the outcome of his or her life.

If there is crisis in Nigeria, I will be the last to leave – Bishop Oyedepo

May 17, 2021 No Comments

Founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said that leaving Nigeria even when the nation is engulfed in crisis is not a first action he would take.

According to the revered cleric, he would be the last to leave the country in case the situation becomes irreversibly terrible.

He said this during Sunday service, while admitting that things are indeed going wrong in the country.

In his words, “If there is crisis in this Nation, I will be the last to leave here.”

Speaking further, Oyedepo noted that nobody can enjoy and sustain the flow of favour without the fear of God as a lifestyle.

“Don’t rob nobody, don’t cheat on anyone. Don’t outsmart your business partners. Don’t swear falsely. Don’t take bribes. Favour is the companion of all that fear God and favour shall be your companion from now.

“Flowing in favour demands the doing of righteousness. You know there is the appropriation of righteousness that people emphasize today, but don’t be deceived, he that doeth righteousness is righteous. The doing righteousness: favour!

“There was an explosion of favour, until the time that his Word came. The Word of the Lord tried him,” he said.

This comes a week after popular televangelist, Paul Adefarasin subtly advised his Church member to start getting a plan B to exit Nigeria.
