“I have never prayed for what to eat in my family. The light of life, the five loaves, and two fishes were more than enough. I have never cornered church money of one naira to my side, the light of life.”

Oyedepo referred to Luke 10:7, stating that every sincere question has an answer with Jesus.”

“Who pays me? Suddenly the word came—after these things, He appointed seventy others also, and the labourer is worthy of his wages. So He said to me, ‘You are in my employment; I am responsible. Just stay on duty, the light of life.’ Since then, I have not looked for who pays me until tomorrow and until I go to heaven.”

Na your church, nah your property, so do you still have to corner what you own?

Abeg shift!!

How can you corner the proceeds of your own creation?

@AmasLincoln

Commendable! However, it's time all religious leaders particularly Church founders/leaders demonstrate higher level of financial integrity and transparency by openly giving yearly accounts of all financial transactions carried out by their Churches to the members.

@aremu57

You are only helping the church to re invest the money.
