Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church, has urged individuals who are criticising the church’s leadership change to shut up.
The choice to retire some of his assistant pastors should not be questioned, according to Bishop Oyedepo.
The retirement of Bishops David Abioye and Thomas Aremu, Oyedepo’s two vice presidents, has drawn criticism from Nigerians.
After three and forty years in the ministry, respectively, both clergymen would be retiring.
According to reports, their retirement complied with the church’s operating norms.
Oyedepo, however, took issue with the criticism that followed the church’s decision.
Speaking at Bishop Aremu’s farewell ceremony on Tuesday at Winners Chapel in Orita Bashorun, Oyedepo disclosed that the church’s 1998 Administrative Policy was reviewed in 2001, while The Mandate of 2012 was revised in 2024, stressing that the ministry operates by divine order.
He said, “My advice to commentators is to study to be quiet and mind your business. It is wisdom to learn what is working and find out what makes it work. Everything works here.”
Bishop Oyedepo cited Genesis 49:26 in the Bible to support his claim that no one inherits a pastor or instructor.
“There’s no such thing as the best today or tomorrow; what matters is your pursuit of God,” he said, encouraging him to keep an optimistic outlook on life.
Oyedepo advised Aremu not to be sidetracked by unfounded criticism and asked him to stay in touch for the ongoing flow of grace.
