No One Should Teleguide Christians In Worship – Oyedepo

By Ella Makondo

The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo, said that  nobody has the power to determine how many people worship Jesus.

Bishop Oyedepo stated while delivering a  sermon on Tuesday morning tagged, ‘Breaking Limits’ aired via the church’s social media platform.

According to him,   his church has successfully  planted 520 new parishes on Sunday, August 16, 2020, saying it was a divine agenda ordained by God for him to rule  enemies, noting that no  policy under heaven can stop it.

“As at last night, we got the report of 520 of our new churches planted.  The Lord shall send the rod out of Zion, rule thou in the midst of thou enemies. It’s a divine agenda. No policy under heaven can stop it. 520 churches planted on the 16th of August. If I were the devil, I will start mourning now. Shame on the devil.

“No force on earth has the power. When I’m lifted up, I will draw all men to myself. So, get all the facilities ready. The devil is tired. You ask him and he will tell you. I am tired because there are churches today that are just pushing the frontiers of the gospel in spite of the devil.

 “If I ever preached a message where there is no laughter, don’t listen to it. I have been laughing like this 76 till forever since I found Matthew 6:33. I have been laughing at the devil and smiling as I serve. You insult me, I enjoy it. You insult me and I stop going to work because you insult me? I will be a big fool. I am going to work.

“They said, see his legs. Yes, I thank God for my legs. See his nose, yes, He made it and He did it beautifully. See how short he is, that’s the size He made me for so I can save more clothes.

“You know, He that sits in heaven shall laugh. If you are not laughing, you are not seated in heaven. And we are seated in heavenly places, so what should we be doing? Laugh. As they insult you? Laugh. As they mock you? Laugh. As they abuse you? Laugh.

“Anybody insulting me is wasting his time. One, I didn’t hear. Two, even if I heard, it won’t pain me. Anybody praising me is expressing his opinion. One, I didn’t hear. And even if I heard, it won’t blow my head because if you praise anything in me, it is Jesus,” he said.

 It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari , had on August 7 signed into law, the Companies and Allied Matters Bill, 2020. The bill which has been passed by the National Assembly replaced the 1990 CAMA.

However , Bishop Oyedepo while reacting  on Sunday noted that churches are controlled under the divine power of God, not government.

He 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.

He was however criticised by the President’s aide on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, who tweeted on Monday, “I hope this is not true. If it is, Oyedepo will have to manufacture his own country and live by his own laws. As long as he lives and operates within the entity called Nigeria, he will live by Nigerian rules and laws. He will do as he’s told by the law. Enough of lawlessness.”
