He is very stupid for coming online to showcase his stupidity.

If you are not bearing fruit even in your office, you should be dropped immediately.

You are given a free house, free car, allowances. Your only duty is to go out and win the lost, pray for them till they abide.

Lazy youth....go and open your church if you are angry.

Read the letter well, it didnt say money, but church growth. May be members have been leaving or the church hasn't been growing which means, they don't go out for evangelism and do kingdom advancement prayers.
They didnt sack them cause of money but for church growth.
I'm not a member of winners but read the letter very well before concluding and say its cause of money

Oyedopo grew d church and should not keep idiots in d name of pastors to destroy his labour in d vein yard of God.

If u are pastor in Assemblies of God they will give u demotional transfer .

If u must be a pastor preach to ur family members and people in ur street gradually u will have a congregation again

This is the reason why I wanted to see the letter before commenting. Church growth index is not the same as 'income generation' or whatever the heck was circulating on the internet.

And sacking them is the answer?

Do you know environmental factors matter in the so called growth index?

The economy is at it worst in decade's. Revenues are highly low Hugh churches are effected. You do not expect to see revenue income in that letter.

Does oyedepo really have the right to sack pastors called by God?
They weren't doing anything bad like stealing church funds,going diabolical or sleeping with church members.
So what exactly gives him the right to sack pastors....is it really God's church or his personal business?

So the church was built only for church growth? So the pastor are expected to go to catholic, Anglican and other Pentecostal churches in the area and drag them to winners church and force them to become permanent members.

I wonder o, the Pastor was only sacked from working in Winner for not being productive. He should go and apply somewhere else or start his own church

Why are we defending the obvious nah, the sack letter says"new beginnings"could that mean a new calling? But before his anointing as a pastor he merited the calling,redesignation would have been better,

. Performance review ... church growth ......below expectation..... Precisely money is involved as all have been given target already. A person can be relieved of his membership only if he perpetrates what is in 2 Cor 6 vrs 9-13. This is not the case If you talk about human growth Jesus did not expect equal growth at all .In the parable of the talents ,they did not bring back same talents. Yet all except one were commended. The widow who gave only two drachma coins were commended for her contribution not those who were wealthy among them.You will know the truth and the truth will set you free John 8 vrs 33

Nothing wrong with appraising the performance of pastors & reposting them. Even Christ in the Parable of Talents did same.

However, the title & tone of the letter is rather hash. Letter of Redeployment would have prevented all this controversy & negative publicity.

Oyedopo grew d church and should not keep idiots in d name of pastors to destroy his labour in d vein yard of God.

If u are pastor in Assemblies of God they will give u demotional transfer .

If u must be a pastor preach to ur family members and people in ur street gradually u will have a congregation again

So to be a pastor is no more about winning souls for Christ bt increasing the numbers of church members.
I feel bad hearing this from a Christian. Do u actually read your Bible. Abi Jesus Christ sake Peter or Paul because them no gather people for am?
I thought it's about heaven.
As u go school reach what's "growth index" in the general term.

Growth means growth. The church has been on a church growth mission for the past 6 years and everybody knows it is about souls. Even muslims know this simple fact.
The growth here can fall into two contexts
1. Not bringing in enough members.
If this is the case they can never sack him because he's not bringing in enough members for their souls to be won for Christ. He was simply sacked because more members indicates more money from tithes and offerings. More money from tithes and offerings indicates more income flow for the church.

2. Financial growth.
Self explanatory, I no get time to dey explain.

It's all about money, the more the crowd the more money it generates, don't get it twisted...

This is the reason Nigeria will remain poor, how can you open church base on the members contribute/high target.....with . numerous financial demands on the poor masses/members.....
Is it by force to open 10000 churches?

BiggyB242:


Is the soul purpose of a church to increase in number or win souls for Christ irrespective of the church they decide to attend. Winners are so desperate to have a large population. They know an increase in growth is equivalent to an increase in income.
Or maybe they take Jesus' great commission seriously as Christ instructed? You know, go into the world and multiply & stuff?
