Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners Chapel has been attacked for sacking his church workers who stole the church money.
Popular radio personality, Daddy Freeze lambasted the prominent man of God for his action.
He said; “This to me, is nothing more than a daunting cocktail of scriptural misinterpretation, misplaced priorities and misdirected resources, making this seem like it’s an odd in between compromise amidst a church and a business enterprise.”
“For starters, the church building is NOT the house of God (the scriptures in acts 17:24 clearly tell us so)!”
“Is money they stole money you worked for from your personal business enterprises? If yes they should face the wrath of the law.”
“However, If it came from donations, let Acts 4:32 guide you. According to the aforementioned verse, the disciples shared everything equally, so there was no lack. Could it be that you haven’t been giving them their share and they now took it by force?”
“Remember, the offertory the early church received was shared equally among ALL believers, maybe if you practice that, you won’t fret over accountants pilfering.”
For those who don’t know, Bishop Oyedepo cried out recently and said;
“Can you imagine accountants perpetrating fraud in the house of God? We had no choice but to dismiss them. You can imagine top church officials engaging in doubling figures and other dubious practices.”
“Even 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.”
“Don’t employ them and don’t sympathise with them. 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.”
