Never you play with any church treasury box
Cause the pastor himself will cast God wrath
On you "infante this sin shall not be forgive "

I said it in the other thread
One was praying for the contractors that didn't do their jobs he paid them for, according to him
"The Bible says Prayer is the Key, Prayer is our own weapon of welfare, we can not fight you , but we can go on our knees and pray, so leave us with our prayers. Thank you. Do you and let’s do us".
Meanwhile, his colleague dismisses employees and says no one should employ or sympathise with ex employees, labeling potential sympathisers as wicked.
This Christianity sef.
what is wrong with what these men of God did? instead of calling the police, he opt to pray, anything wrong with that? lastly any one that has the mind to steal from the church can physically kill for money, can u employ a know thief?

Well in my own view, pastor should understand that to err is human, but to forgive is divine. He has been preaching that all these while and as for those that embezzled the fund, he should leave them to God. Winners' church money z too enormous to be drained.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
A pastor passed on some years ago from a strange illness. Before he passed on, he confessed to his wife the fraudulent deals he partook off. He also told his wife that the strange sickness was his nemesis but asked his wife to apologise to the Bishop on his behalf.

Church officials are humans, however it is expected that the live exemplary lives.

Lord grant me your mercy to be a shining example IJN

As an insider I can tell you there are many of such cases..people don't fear God..like stealing church money..how do you want to escape..Most times they don't end well..because there is a curse that follows.

For those saying forgiveness was an option, God Himself maintained hell fire even though he is a God of mercy. You are only qualified for mercy if you truly repent.

That's bad actually... But where's the place of forgiveness Christ taught us.

Asking people not to employ them is the idea I don't buy into.

We are all children of God. Anyone can fall into sin, but that doesn't mean God won't forgive us if we genuinely ask for forgiveness.

Asking the church members not to sympathize with them is like refusing a sinner that comes for altar call.

Papa should please consider them. They were Christians before they became church officials. So they can be forgiven by both God and man.

After all, No one is 100% innocent of crime.

Was Judas, even one of the 12 disciples, the thief and son of perdition forgiven?

They knew what they were doing and what the consequence was but still went ahead and defrauded the church..even as a member I am pissed..like how long did that go on before they were bursted..how many hundreds of millions of Naira was the church defrauded of......like all my offering and tithes that I give to God in church to propagate the work of God and kingdom projects were stolen by some bastard staff....

If Papa Oyedepo didn't want to forgive them..let me tell you they would not just be sacked but arrested and jailed for a few years..that's what should happen as per the law..but he just sacked them and all you guys are talking thrash..oh please.

If Atiku can be forgiven and you didn't see anything wrong in entrusting the responsibilities of a whole Nation in a man with so much question marks hanging on him;

Then forgive them and re employ them.
Moreso allow whomever wants to employ them do so. After all you sold Atiku to Nigerians.

What goes around comes around!
He sold atiku to you? Pls tell us more.

these guys will arbitrarily hijack and squander the money they are supposed to use to pay people that have executed one Project or the other. wicked lot.
So are those atrocities so much they can't be forgiven? Haba!....we all are Christians and we know Jesus Christ teachings on forgiveness. If Oyedepo can't forgive, how does he expect to be forgiven himself?

This is a wonderful topic for some people to feast on by cashing in on the weakness of the Church and "yabbing" Papa Oyedepo, whereas, the real message of dishonesty on the part of the church workers will be ignored.

It is unfortunate that people no longer value good morals again they prefer darkness to light. U can imagine the trash many of them are saying.
Re: Millions Stolen From Bishop David Oyedepo By Church Officials by Mayeldah(m): 8:00pm On Jan 11, 2020
Thank you for this.

if God forgives them, who is Oyedepo to determine who should relate with them.

many Church leaders will miss heaven I swear.

See this diehard criminal and his fellow criminals liking him!

A corrupt element betrays his position of trust to the dogs and you come saying that he should be rewarded with yet another position of trust after he was caught and dismissed because, according to your deluded and twisted mind, everyone is into crime! You hear yourself? If you come from a community of criminals, does that make other communities criminal minded like yours?
A man who was never moved to confession or repentance after spending years listening to puritan and persuading messages in an evangelically charged atmosphere until he was eventually apprehended is the one you are advocating for yet another office of trust as a befitting reward? Deluded criminal! You think mercy is cheap or God throws mercy to every demon and demoness? Or you are more merciful than God?
These are the same criminals corrupting our political space in Nigeria. Una no go die better!

They should focus more on telling the people about the consequencies of sin, rather than the pleasure of wealth.

Why not just shot them dead already because they comitted a crime worse than killing Christ . There's no justification for fraud but there should be a degree of allowance for repentance ...Thank God say God no be man ooooo

May all the Nigerian politicians who raped and ravished your destiny to the present sorry state be forgiven. May they all be returned to power to perfect your destitution. May their children continue their forgiven acts upon your own children and make them prostrate under poverty and may they all be forgiven to continue the good works..

Some comments baffled me. He did the right the thing. Some people were saying he should have forgiven them, he has forgotten self. He sacked them and drawing the new one's ears not to follow the same steps or do you want them to continue stealing the Church money? He also let the whole congregation know the happenings in the church. He didn't pursue them from the church but only relieved them of their duties. That is transparency. Some people are caused, how can you go and steal church money in the name of doing business or getting rich quick?
