Bishop DavidOyedepoMin’s Living Faith Church Allegedly Sacks Pastors For 'Generating' Low Income From Their Branches | Sahara Reporters

A man who identified himself as a former pastor of the Living Faith Church International, popularly known as Winners Chapel, Peter Godwin, says he was sacked by the church for not generating enough money in his branch.

“So after that, I started working, engaging myself in the work of the Lord. I tried my possible best to make sure I win souls for Christ but unfortunately, on the 1st of July, I received a call that the state pastor wants to see me, so I thought I was the only one. I was surprised, so I went to his office.

DavidOyedepoMin Church done turn to buisness na, abi?

DavidOyedepoMin Ilu le 😂😂😂

DavidOyedepoMin If wants to upgrade and become something the people will take seriously... They should go and learn under DavidOyedepoMin

DavidOyedepoMin Finally Nigeria as turn church to a politics stuff, mad ohhh

DavidOyedepoMin This is ridiculous!

DavidOyedepoMin Business as usual 😏😏

DavidOyedepoMin John15:2 says.. :Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

DavidOyedepoMin 😂 😂 😂 😂 Church business. Low returns. Not how many people gave their life to christ. I dey my house abeg.

DavidOyedepoMin Every where jes dey funny

DavidOyedepoMin I've always trusted with authentic and current news but this right here eliminated that trust. Such much influence by YeleSowore on this platform.

DavidOyedepoMin Before the news pop up, don't you know that their tradition and religion is all about money and wealth. Not salvation or helping the poor.

DavidOyedepoMin Wait, what? 😳

DavidOyedepoMin How do you expect him to fuel his jets when revenue is shrinking. Ole barawo man of devil.

DavidOyedepoMin Our Honorable Pastor Oyedepo look at Christianity purely from business angle.

DavidOyedepoMin That's why they don't like TB Joshua, be they took church as a business, but church shouldn't be a business

DavidOyedepoMin I wonder why people still go to church when you can simply worship God in your house and pray to your own understanding and beliefs. The offering and tithe you send to the churches should be given to the poor around your environment. Religion have blinded so many Nigerians

DavidOyedepoMin My people eyes good open self

DavidOyedepoMin Could this be true?

DavidOyedepoMin Sahara; you need to review your statement. Pastors are not sacked because of low income generation. Winners churches are not set up for money making but for impact. Note also the letter is not signed by anyone.

DavidOyedepoMin Okay... Continue

DavidOyedepoMin Wow

DavidOyedepoMin See them. Business Pastors SaharaReporters

DavidOyedepoMin Pastor using black power father making love to his daughter see people going to church of setan. This is world song singing by Bella

DavidOyedepoMin Omo... economy affect the church industry ooo... no performance, no pay...

DavidOyedepoMin Which kind useless post is this? Church growth index is now low revenue ? I will soon unfollow you guys...

DavidOyedepoMin This is mischievous reporting....... The main duty of a pastor is to grow the church by number of converters or simply.... soul winning. Why should the content in this letter be interpreted as not meeting financial target? This reporter need to be guided.....

DavidOyedepoMin It says church growth index. Worship your ifa or what you serve and leave the church of Christ out of your blog 🙄

DavidOyedepoMin If those sacked pastors go out tomorrow to open their own church and start increasing, they would turn around as say thank God they were sacked. Format

DavidOyedepoMin Yeye reporters

DavidOyedepoMin 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂... Nigerians still doesn't want to break free from MENTAL SLAVERY. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Church in Nigeria na scam. Children of destruction will never understand. I know this long term ago. Way back in early 2000, we invited someone for ministration, he ordered for the Thanksgiving offerings. Dude said na him dey collect am any where he goes. Come see fight now😃

Na wa oh! Pls Angel Gabriel when are you blowing this horn Hurry up. 😂😂😂😂

To read is one thing and to comprehend what’s read is another thing so I understand

Is the secretary no meant to sign the document? People of God, thread with caution and remember, thou shall not judge oooo

There's an ongoing Revival in Winners for souls. The Bishop goes out to preach and win souls too. Definitely other stations are expected to do same. Obviously this branch like some others have not been in tune with the vision. Remember, Jesus cut down tree not bearing fruits.

DavidOyedepoMin 😂😂 I have no words, must be really expensive to run heaven with those heavenly dollars 😅😅

Sahara reporters, where did you see 'Generating Low income in that letter' as a reason for his sack.

What a STUPID and misleading headline.. No wonder Sowore is a hostage in his own country.

Circus

I am a LFC member and church growth is basically about membership. Seems the branch has witnessed people leaving the and that is an indication that the Resident Pastor is not up and doing or has issues with the statutory boards or something is not just right

Doesn't even look true

Is it low income ? I want to really understand.

Let it sink in to your understanding ...👇🏻 Bishop Oyedepo sacked branch managers from his business centers..... PeriodT .... 🕴

I don't see anything wrong with the sacking, every other businesses or manufacturing companies do sack their workers for one reason or the other

Can't see where its writing sacked becos of low income though. Anyway agenda must attend🤣

I think there's more to this

Bye. Find grace from God cause there ain’t none here.

This is money making organisation

It didn't say 'low income'. Pls always try not to deceive your readers

Business Men and Women that's what all of Us are. Don't be deceived.

He is not the first to be sacked and he will not be the last. If he has a justifiable case let him approach the court of law. Lamentations in Sahara will forever keep him in the desert.

The presiding Bishop of living faith main not be aware of all this , because every branches has each area pastor that coordinates how things is been regulated and not the president himself please let’s watch what we say to the man of God gossiper

Even he don't have right to become a member of winner chapel again coz they said including your identity card so no longer became member winner chapel again😂😂😂 like company work

It's business bro

Not surprised, not at all.

This is not what the White People who brought this religion to us did. They, gathered their own money and sent to us, even till now, people gather money and send to places that do not have enough. This release is diabolical. This is condemnable nd should be reversed. My Opinion

DavidOyedepoMin Non profitable businesses are closed.

Sahara report should be wary of the way they go about men of God..am a member of this great commission and when we say Church growth we simply mean getting people/souls into the household of God and not money..so lets learn

Religion and politics.... TWO SIDES OF THE COIN CURRENTLY DESTROYING NIGERIA! While some in Islam are preaching for people to killed for blasphemy, some in Christianity are all about protecting their wealth AND THE PEOPLE AS USUAL WILL FOLLOW LIKE MINDLESS SHEEP!

Ds is ridiculous y don't u just discharge them &put another person in charge whereby these pastors u are chasing away wil learn more on how 2grow &be retrained under your ministry Bt this letter is written in absurd tone(anger).Jesus wil neva chase u away 4 nt doing his work well

Once there is a news about the church, y'all fangs go erect. Everybody has an opinion. Like wow we waited long for this opportunity. Anything to make y'all feel better.

It looks like the sack pastor are those in rural area. Opinion though

DavidOyedepoMin realart___

odenjinji U guys r here defendin these 'Business Men ' cum 'Men of Mormon' /Pastor? Its al about 'Money'! U side Chicks of these criminals who steal frm D Poor masses can try very hard in twistin D narratives bt D people /masses r wiser now. Mad people/criminals evrywhere in God's Name!

DavidOyedepoMin It’s the “peace” for me 😂

DavidOyedepoMin inspection team to check it, they did, approved it and the project was funded by Hqtrs so LFC don't setup church to task the pastors to generate funds bcuz the Hqtrs finance most big projects for any branch.

DavidOyedepoMin How does church growth mean finances You are not a member of the church so you don't know it operates. When our branch LFC Torikoh Badagry wanted to buy the Limca property in Ibereko, Badagry, we have to write to the headquarters to finance it which is over 300M, the Hqtrs sent

Instead of them to focus more on equipping these men of God with more teachings of the word of God and letting the Holy spirit do His work through them, they are more focused on producing business men to yield more profits to the church. Even Jesus didn't rush. He took his time

You goofed!!!!

Church business is more complex than what people think. How can a church grow when the pastor is an employee and not called based on spiritual instructions from God?

If you are seeing this, please help me retweet 🥺 🥺 🥺 . Abeg don't skip. GOD BLESS YOU!! My next client might be on your TL 🥺🥺. Starting price for a logo is 15k Naira.

No matter how we try to justify the action taken by the living faith church....no matter the twist and turns...it all boils down to the fact that EVERYTHING NA BUSINESS.

DavidOyedepoMin People are unemployed and broke due to the Covid pandemic. But pastor still want more money. Mebbe he needs another Rolls Royce or private jet.

Kindly patronize my business🙏. There are requirements at every level of life. As Pastor-in-charge he fell short of his requirements and actions had to be taken.

jen2tolex

That's a business and if the business is not growing, sack the manager.

This is disappointing in African Christianity.... So many G.O as Christian Leaders Serve and worshipping 💰🤑💰🤑💰🤑💰

DavidOyedepoMin Yet he never touched any church money

How do you sack a pastor ? Aint we supposed to 'touch not His anointed and do him no harm' 😃

This is a tragedy and travesty. Churches are taking over factories and companies in the guise of winning souls. What a nation in chaos.

DavidOyedepoMin

Person go school, no work, he say make he still go be pastor make he for fit live life small, oyedepo nor still gree....Na wa o I can’t wait to see the end of religion in Africa...your pastors are criminals and no different from the white slave masters.

Those castigating WC should go and read the parable of the talents. When people don't understand how the kingdom of God works, they should be quiet. Jesus emphasizes growth and increase. However, the should have sent him on training or seminar instead of sacking him.

It only goes to tell us that the church is all about its money or about more sheep that will donate more money. Mo money, mo money, money. Lol.

A common sense approach to apply in a business where marketing managers are performing below average. Kudos the Managing Director for doing the needful. WEMOVE!😁😁

DavidOyedepoMin Church is a format. Religion itself is a multi million dollar business and the people will always be the traded stocks and commodities.

DavidOyedepoMin Do you know how much oyedepo pay pastors so u don't want work for ur salary abi?

You saw Church Growth Index and succinctly termed it as Income What is wrong with you people?

Nigerians,pls I need a job.. Hunger is real😪.. pls help me get a job or recommend me to others. I beg you in God's name. I'm a graduate of public administration.i can barely feed 😪Please retweet my pinned tweet💔🙏

Just a business decision and nothing else.

DavidOyedepoMin I am stunned people are surprised because of this news? We all know it's a venture.

Wetin Buhari go cause ehn 😀

People often forget there are principles of capitalism in the Bible... For example the parable of the talents... The proverbs to him who has more is given to him who has not that which he has is taken from him... God prunes and takes away parts not bearing fruit..

The letter says nothing about 'generating' low income. How did you interprete 'church growth index' to mean income?

CHURCH GROWTH! It was EXPLICITLY stated. So what are you on about because I don't get it.

Pls am appealing to intelligent & smart people of Nigeria,stop going to Oyedepo’s & Adeboye’s churches.Gather ur family members,get f original Jewish bible,study & pray in d name of Yeshua together.If u don’t get quick answer to all ur prayers then check urself. Trust me on this

DavidOyedepoMin The church na company na..The growth na all round growth ooh..money sef follow join...Pastors are expected to go and drag people to come to the church...una go get sense one day

Oga o ni ile Olorun God have mercy is God complain about been have low income in church we don’t even know what is going on in all this Nigeria Church

Both Islam & Christianity are not religion,they are insanity imposed by political and control-freak individuals who enjoy to enslave their fellow humans and make them do their own wishes and bidding. Religions are pure evil. Stay away from religions& ur life will av meaning

What are the factors for measuring church growth index? Should thesame measure be applied to a church in Lekki and one in Benue State where bandits have literally brought hardship to the people? The weakness here is judging a supposed church of God with worldly standards.

Shee he should go and get fraudsters to fill the church. These people need some bible sense

Church growth index does not suggest low income here. Be careful Sahara

DavidOyedepoMin The people that call TB Joshua evil are more evil and investors in church business

DavidOyedepoMin The anxiety you have while working in church is too much,you won't have time for your family,everyday of the week you're at one church meeting or the other,your health is at stack,no good sleep,BP so high,members won't give you peace,real Pastors are always skinny bcus of vigils

anievince DavidOyedepoMin This particular letter is even for a branch somewhere in Benue, probably a place that has been ravaged by incessant terrorist activities making it difficult for congregants to meet up. Lol

His gullible members will still come here to defend him..religious slaves everywhere

Is right time efcc need to start investigating our so called pastors ...

DavidOyedepoMin Dear Sahara does the phrase “Church growth index” automatically refers to funds generation? Have you considered this phrase in another context in which the Church stands for?

I thought they get direction from God/holy spirit before deploying pastors ? Lol.. shey this one na church or business center?.

Wow... Business?

All religion's place of worships are business centers for their proprietors to live extravagant life's and own private jets.

Business is no longer moving forward

Oyedepo is a confirmed pulpit bandit .

DavidOyedepoMin Bad journalism..........there is nowhere in this letter where LOW INCOME was mentioned.

How does this letter says low income? Useless reporters. No wonder no one takes u serious and ur owner has lost relevance .

This unfortunate!

😢

Going by what is written in this letter, this headline is misleading

The letter says the Church growth index falls. SR says sack Pastors when it's just a Pastor, SR also writes 'low income from Branches, not even a branch🤣🤣 Y'all should understand that this report is nothing but mischievous.

DavidOyedepoMin I’ve been saying this for long, the church industry is just that, high time the government starts taxing these fuckers

RazZzzzz 🤣

LFC has her indices for measuring 'Church growth' but let's not forget that it's God who adds to the church, not man. Some Nigerians hired Buhari to work for Nigeria, but he's underperforming massively. Shouldn't Buhari be sacked/offhired? Sahara, you're caption is misleading.

The ending got me....like, peace out, ire o✌️

DavidOyedepoMin Oyedepo the shamless crook, using the name of Christ to abuse and extort his members. Judgement day is nigh !!

DavidOyedepoMin A full business now?

Business centers

Today offering 😂😂😂😂😂 some of our members came with keke, okada and some don't even have transport fee to go back home✍️

Na business this man de do, we must prosecute am

No kill yourself,we all dey hustle

DavidOyedepoMin But where in this letter was it stated that they generated low income?

DavidOyedepoMin 😄😄

Let’s be guided please. The release or sacking was not because his church generated low income but because the church didn’t grow to required expectation.

DavidOyedepoMin Churches! The Pentecost now come with plenty cost.... vectorthaviper 2019

DavidOyedepoMin Hmm.. is this saying some about business?

DavidOyedepoMin Did you see low generating income in the letter?

DavidOyedepoMin One wonders what the old man still wants with money.

My Belief About TB Joshua – RCCG Pastor Adeboye Writes Synagogue Founder’s Wife | Sahara ReportersAdeboye said he believed he would meet Joshua at the feet of the Lord Jesus on the resurrection morning. Lol imagine this politician wey dey disguise like pastor 🤣 Àwọn my pastor said will applaud this gesture. After the whole thing had been settled.. The pressure from the people that CAN and PFN distance themselves from the church and family at the time was wrong. Now what. Tb Joshua is laid to rest. Let him rest in peace.. Nice one.
