And those who don\u2019t believe, when they come they start believing when they see it happen in a lot of people\u2019s lives. And we are not ashamed to be called the church of the rich. If they call your family poor, will you be excited? Nobody would be excited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when a family is poor, they hate to be called poor. No man in his right mind enjoys being called poor, and nobody truly wants to be poor, people may pretend. Which is more honourable between being a giver and a beggar? Most of us came in very poor, but the light of God\u2019s word came on us and we walked out of poverty in grand style into wealth and riches.\u201d He boasted.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining why there is so much wealth in the church despite the growing poverty in the land, the General Overseer said, \u201cthe kingdom of God is funded by God\u2019s resources. We are not funded by the economy of the world, but by the economy of the kingdom, which has a budget for all of its agenda on earth. We\u2019ve been here since 1999 and we have never had power outage or water shortage. The main players are Nigerians, the builders are Nigerians. There is no building here that any foreign expert took part in. There is no foreign company\u2019s presence here, including the tabernacle. Some of the revered foreign companies here in Nigeria are technicians in Germany, and they are all political contractors, not that they have something special to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked how he feels when being accused of spending church money on private jets, he said, \u201cI feel very good. It\u2019s an opinion. Let me tell you what my understanding of persecution is; it\u2019s simply an opinion harshly expressed. And everybody has a right to his opinion. People who are walking in the truth are hardly bothered when things are said negatively about them because they have nothing to hide. The truth is I have never felt it, some say it\u2019s not human, but I have not. I can\u2019t be wasting my time trying to reply lies because I have too many things to do. They are doing their work, let me be doing my work too and before they wake up in the morning, I\u2019ve done the next one, so, it doesn\u2019t matter. My idea of it is that, in a football match, you have only 22 people playing with thousands of spectators. And that is the way it is in the journey of life. In every field, you find just few players and many spectators, multitudes. If we don\u2019t know where to place opinions, they will displace us.\u201d he quipped<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General overseer and founder of Living Faith Chapel, popularly known as Winners\u2019 chapel, Bishop Oyedepo says he feels good when people accuse him of spending church money on maintaining his&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27063,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
