I don't have time for patience, unfruitfulness, you are a failure - Bishop Oyedepo blasts Dismissed Pastors

David Oyedepo, a revered clergyman, has finally spoken out about the dismissal of many pastors at his church, Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel.

Recall that a man claiming to be a former pastor of the church stated he and other pastors were fired because their separate branches were not earning enough money.

In a video, Peter Godwin stated that he was hired as a pastor on August 28, 2020, but on July 1, 2021, he and over 40 other pastors were invited to a meeting and given sack letters.

In response to the claim, Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder and lead pastor of Winners Chapel, declared that the pastors were fired by the church because they were unfruitful.

According to him, his church has no patience with failure, and since the pastors were unfruitful and blatantly failed they were relived of their duties.

In his words,

“People are confused about our Ministry. I learnt some fellows said, “you know, they are not bringing income, that is why they asked them to go. We asked you to go because you are unfruitful. Unfruitful! Blatant failure. Doing what there? We have no patience with failure here.

“When we employed 7,000 people at a time, social media was dead. We have more employees in this organisation than most of the states. No one is owed a dime salary and we don’t borrow, we don’t beg. Ask our bank whether we take overdraft.

“We are covenant bound, working in the light of God’s word, enjoying an open Heaven. Money? Nonsense. We have never lacked it and yet we have never prayed for it. We are just simply obeying God and He is backing up what He is asking us to do. Awesome God.”
