Oyedepo defends sack of pastors… says they’re unfruitful, blatant failures
Founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, yesterday, defended the sack of some of the church’s pastors.
A sack letter issued by the church’s Executive Secretary, Pastor Adebisi Aboluwade, had earlier circulated on social media.
But addressing the controversies that have trailed the development, Oyedepo justified the dismissal of the pastors, while also describing them as ‘unfruitful, blatant failures’ .
He said, “People are confused about our ministry. Some fellows said, they didn’t bring income, that’s why they were sacked to go. We ask you to go because you are unfruitful, blatant failures. We have no question about failure.
“When we employed 7,000 pastors at once, social media was dead. We have more employees than most states. No one is owed a dime of salary. Ask our organization whether we take overdrafts.
“We don’t borrow, we don’t beg. The pastors were asked to go because they were unfruitful. Many of the churches built can never pay for the church building in 30 years. We have no patience for failure here.
“We have built more than 1,000 rural churches. None of those churches can generate that fund in 30 years. We are hunting for souls. Money? Nonsense. We have never lacked it, yet, we have never prayed for it.
