‘Don’t Symphatise With The Wicked’ – Bishop Oyedepo Sacks Church Officials For Stealing

Must read

David Oyedepo,  the president and presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, has dismissed some officials for allegedly stealing from the church’s treasury.

Oyedepo, who spoke on Saturday, January 11, 2020, during an empowerment summit organised for the church’s ordained workers.

The cleric did not disclose the number of officials affected.

“We had no choice but to dismiss them,” Bishop Oyedepo is quoted as saying by TheCable.

“You can imagine top church officials engaging in doubling figures and other dubious practices. After we dismissed them, we discovered more fraud.

“Those who should discover the fraud were the ones involved in it. One of them refused to confess until the last minute.

“Can you imagine accountants perpetrating fraud in the house of God?

“Don’t employ them, don’t sympathise. Whoever sympathises with the wicked is wicked himself. Don’t sympathise with any perpetrator of fraud, otherwise, you are a partaker of the evil act.”

Some Nigerians on social media attacked the cleric for his actions saying that he shouldn’t have dismissed the thieving officials because it’s “God’s money”.

Many others came to his defence, however.

Oyedepo is often in the news for his fiery comments on the state of the nation and reports about his stupendous wealth. He founded Living Faith Church Outreach Ministries, also known as Winners Chapel, 39 years ago.

He was named as the world’s richest pastor Forbes with a networth of $150 million.
