Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by krap(m): 5:00pm On Jul 28, 2012 |
The presiding bishop and founder of the Living Faith Christian Church International, better known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Eniola Oyedepo is not new to controversy. Though he seems like a man that can tolerate others, it is surprising that the man cannot hide his disdain for the Islamic religion which was evident when little Abdul-Gafar Ayomide Salami, a young Nigerian student seeking admission to Oyedepo church owned Covenant University was denied admission despite having all required qualifications, just because he is a Muslim. If what he did to little Abdul-Gafar is thought to be anything serious, his disposition towards his half-sister, Alhaja Saratu Bello who refuses to become a Christian after every method implored by Oyedepo to convert her failed. He swore not to have anything .to do with her until she changes her religion to Christianity. The sister in question is being treated like the black sheep of the family and the bishop has forbidden everybody from helping her. The sister who lives in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos is living in abject poverty and finds it difficult to feed while her other siblings are living in affluence. Those who know her doubt her story of being related to the man who can be said to be the richest pastor in Africa. The man of God who is the surviving one of a set of twins after a prolonged delay in having a fruit of the womb by the late mother was born into a Muslim family of Pa Oyedepo in Omu-Aran. David Oyedepo was instrumental in the conversion of his father to becoming a Christian, a thing the father agreed to when he was very old after which he was baptized by his own son before death Source: http://dailypost.com.ng/2012/07/28/convert-christianity-die-poor-bishop-oyedepo-tells-muslim-step-sister/ 5 Likes 1 Share |

the father who converted out of islam at old age is a testament to the hadith of the prophet [sa] that a people of hell will do things of paradise and he will be only a short distance [arm or ebow length] between him and paradise. then he will do the thing of people of hell before death. the sister who is resisting the world wealthy brother will inshaAllah enjoy at the end when she complete her jihad [struggle against becoming disbeliever]. when she enters paradise, she will know that Allah is Full of Reward, Forgiving. if wealth is the measure of Godliness, then the billionaire Bill Gates is more Godly than mere millionaire Oyedebo. if christianity is the only true religion wonder why there are poor christans? Allah, Almighty God gives to all, irrespective of religion. He is Al Rahman [The Merciful to all creation on the earth] He is Al Rahim [The generously Merciful to the creations [man and jinn] who obeyed His Will in Islam. You will know that on the Day of Assembly when worldly wealth is nothing to count on. I pray that muslims in Lagos will come to the aid of this woman who is a sister of pharoah like personality called oyedebo. 133 Likes 3 Shares |

That's unscriptural. To any muslim or whoever who thinks they can judge christianity by this act. I'll just remind you that YOU CANNOT JUDGE A SYSTEM BY ITS ABUSE. By the way, this allegation is without proof. However, if it is true, it is not a method of evangelism sanctioned by Christ and it is purely in violation of christian principles. 14 Likes |

Niggar wat!!!! The bastard denied a qualified student admission for stewpid reasons.wats the difference between this idiota and boko haram .religion should not be the ground for denying anybody anything .qualification should be what would determine This man is wicked ,he went as far as negleting his BLOOd because of religion.the bible is contradictory tho,but it teaches people to love their enemies,that si if a man slaps ur cheek u should turn the other side for more slaps.in oledepo's case he is the one slapping people.he should humble himself and go ask that woman for forgiveness cuz according to the doctrines of the xtians he has sinned 15 Likes |

Well, he is a pastor. If a) he believes his Bible literally and thinks that non-Christians will face eternal hellfire b) his sister is a Muslim should he: c) be shouting and dancing in the streets about his sister d) or doing everything in his power to make her change? Look, if you do not share the man's beliefs, no wahala. But no one can condemn him for them. He is not violating any laws. He is not killing or harming anyone. He certainly isn't obliged to maintain contact with her or financially support her. If you believe in hellfire for non-believers, then you will agree with Oyedepo's actions. 6 Likes |

This woman should cry out to her god. If her god is not strong enough to save her from penury, then perhaps she had better listen very well to her brother's advice, and consider choosing the God of her brother. Or of what use is this god she serves if she remains in poverty? Or does she want to benefit from Oyedepo's God while also serving another? 24 Likes |

Religion is a thing of the heart(willingness) and not what u coerce people. Sometimes, i keep wondering which is realy the true religion,.how can an MOG deny his sister care cos she is not a christian??though am A CHRISTIAN, bt if the story is true then i term the act 'BABARIC' and improper to the core. Though some people here would say the bible says 'Judge not that ye may nt be judged' bt i think dats a mis-interpretation of the original contextual use of the words which should not come into play in this case COS IF WE DONT CALL A SPADE A SPADE, WHO WILL ![]() 5 Likes 1 Share |

yommy2sure:Being a Muslim does not in any way make you rich. You can be rich or poor what is important is the fear of Allah and accept the condition you‘re in. God said in the Qur'an 2:155 And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, from the above verse we belief that God is going to test us whether you’re rich or poor. As a Muslim it’s an article of faith to belief in destiny good or bad and we know that this worldly life is temporal therefore it is better to suffer in a temporary world than suffering in the hereafter i.e permanent abode. Christianity is all about prosperity that’s worldly thing. that is the only thing your pastors talk about (I don’t want to say preach because that’s not preaching we all knw) for example.... You’ll get a job You’ll get a promotion You’ll get a husband You’ll give birth You’ll become rich You’ll pass you exams You‘ll be successful.... and so on and so forth...all about getting wht you want in this world. If you remove prosperity from pastor’s mouth, I’m 100% sure no pastor will be able to preach or say anything in the church.......observe. They are afraid that if they start preaching about fornication, adultery, stealing, drinking of Alcohol, gambling, 419, immoral dressing they will not get customers again coz they are making money out of ignorant followers. [/b]Read the bible 4rm Geneses to Revelation you’ll be surprise with some verses and I’m sure you ‘ll start searching for the truth. [b]Do that b4 is too late. 47 Likes |
