Oyedepo Spits Holy Fire Over CAMA Guideline

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The Senior Pastor of Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners Chapel has questioned the recently signed Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA) that tends to regulate the operations of the church.

CAMA was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, on August 7, 2020.

The law gives the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), power to suspend the trustees of an association or a religious body and appoint an interim manager or managers to coordinate its affairs, where it reasonably believes that there has been any misconduct or mismanagement, or where the affairs of the association are being run fraudulently or where it is necessary or desirable for the purpose of public interest.

Reacting to the new provisions, Oyedepo, on Sunday, noted that churches are controlled under the divine power of God, not government.

The cleric warned against any attempt to gag up against churches, saying that the church is the greatest asset of God and no law can work against it.

Oyedepo said, “The church is God’s heritage on earth. Molest the wife of somebody and you will see the anger of that person. The church is the bride of Christ. You know how a strong man is when you tamper with his wife. The church is the body of Christ. We are under obligation to give warnings to wicked rulers so we could be free from their blood.

“The church works on the pattern delivered by God not the pattern of man. Government has no power to appoint people over churches. This is a secular nation. The church is the greatest asset of God in this country.

“Please be warned. Judgment is coming. The Lord says I have been still but now I will arise. Anybody that is in this deal is taking poison. This will never work. I am waiting for a day when anybody will appoint a trustee over this church. You can’t gag anybody. We own this country together.

“It is only in Africa that people who are over 80 years still run around to become president. I know that it is the prosperity of the church that is making them jealous. But I am going to live to see an army of many winners soar greater. In this church shall emerge one of the largest concentration of giants on earth.”
