Founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has challenged those criticizing the church’s decision over change of leadership to mind their business.
Bishop Oyedepo said critics should refrain from questioning the decision to retire some of his assistant pastors.
Nigerians have been criticizing Oyedepo over the retirement of his two Vice Presidents, Bishops Thomas Aremu and David Abioye.
Both clergymen would be retiring after serving three and four decades in the ministry.
Their retirement was said to be in line with the operational guidelines of the church.
However, Oyedepo faulted the criticism that greeted the church’s decision.
Delivering a sermon at the valedictory service for Bishop Aremu at Winners Chapel, Orita Bashorun, on Tuesday, Oyedepo revealed that the church’s Administrative Policy of 1998 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.”
Quoting the Bible in Genesis 49:26, Bishop Oyedepo stated that no one has an inheritance in a teacher or pastor.
He encouraged him to maintain a mindset focused on growth, saying, “There’s no such thing as the best today or tomorrow; what matters is your pursuit of God.”
Oyedepo urged Aremu to remain connected for the continued flow of grace, advising him not to be distracted by baseless criticism.
