– Bishop Oyedepo Says Preaching Prosperity Made People Wish Him Dead
The founder and presiding Bishop of the megachurch Faith Tabernacle, Bishop David Oyedepo recounts some of the heavy insults and backlashes he received when he first started off preaching prosperity messages.
Disclosing this on Sunday at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State while preaching on the theme “Blood of Sprinkling Service”, said he was once seen and called a devil preaching prosperity.
Bishop Oyedepo also revealed how some of his critics wished him dead for doing the “right thing”. The clergyman stressed that Nigerians were angry that he was preaching prosperity instead of suffering.
According to Oyedepo; “I was a devil teaching prosperity, people were grieved, they wished I died. Now, everybody including the major attackers are now writing on prosperity.
“True leaders see ahead of others, every God-ordained leader is a pacesetter.”
