The President, Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, says those accusing pastors of stealing must desist to avoid incurring God’s wrath.
He spoke during a ministering at “Encounter Night” at the ongoing Shiloh. This year’s Shiloh themed “Turnaround Encounters” holds from December 8 – 13.
Oyedepo, who is regarded as one of the richest pastors in the world, said that God blesses his servants and these blessings are enough for them.
“The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and add no sorrow with. There is a difference between the blessings of the Lord and the blessings of the effort of man.
“Those saying these people are stealing will just rain curse of the Lord on themselves. Prosperity is not on what you are given, but in what you give,” the popular cleric said.
He maintained that he would always receive God’s blessings because he has cultivated the habit of giving since when he had nothing.
Oyedepo, who spoke on the topic ‘Unveiling the Turnaround Wonders of the Altar of Sacrifice’, explained that his home could be compared to a hotel because of the sheer number of people living with him.
“I have always had people living with me even when I was living in one-room apartment.
“The last time I counted I had about 22 people working for me. I didn’t bring a dime into ministry. God is too big to be helped.
“Men are not the builders of Churches, God said he will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail.
“I still sleep like a baby. I never asked God to enrich me, I only suçceeded in passing the test of sacrifice. Every child of God that works genuinely in the covenant has a great future.
“Many years ago, I told God if you ever bless me, I will build churches,” Oyedepo stated.
