Living Faith: Bishop Oyedepo in line with Jesus Christ, right to sack 40 pastors – Omokri

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has supported the decision of Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church to sack 40 pastors from the church.

Omokri said Living Faith was right to have sacked the pastors because they failed in evangelism.

Pointing out that the church “is in order,” the former presidential aide said Jesus Christ urged Christians to engage in evangelism.

A pastor of living faith church, Peter Godwin had recently decried his sack by the church for allegedly not generating enough income from his branch.

He accused Bishop Oyedepo of relieving him of his duty through the management of his church because the income generated from his branch was poor.

According to the Pastor in a now viral video which had Nigerians lashing out on Oyedepo, said he was invited by the state pastor and on getting there, he met other pastors about 40 of them, who were also sacked for the same purpose.

Reacting in a tweet, Omokri wrote: “I read the letter from Winners Chapel. it did not mention anything about money. Rather, it used the word “church growth”.

“Christ called us to engage in evangelism-Matthew 28:18-20. A pastor who fails at that should be sacked-Matthew 25:29. Winners Chapel is in order.”

However, the church, in a letter claimed that the pastors were relived of their duties for lack of church growth.
