Bishop Oyedepo is the latest on the list of Nigerian pastors he often throws jabs at. He took to Twitter to say that Bishop Oyedepo is practising stupid pastoral marketing that keeps religious people in perpetual poverty. This was Bisi’s reaction to a sermon the Bishop gave on issues of tithes and getting blessings from God.
Bishop Oyedepo had said: “Everybody believes that God has an open heaven order of blessings for his people. But you see, it takes your tithing to qualify for it. So if you only know the promise and don’t know the conditions, you will die frustrated.” “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of sin, of poverty, of death, but what does it take to get there? It takes faith in the demands. People just believe the promise but you also need to believe the demands.”
“It is believing the demands that entitles you to the fulfilment of the promise. There is no provision in the scriptures without a condition attached. Even salvation, as free as it is, you need to repent before you can be saved. There is nothing provided without conditions to meet.”
