TVC E. The HIV positive Nigerian gay Bisi Alimi, has said Pastor Oyedepo’s pastoral system will make his followers remain poor.
The activist for gay rights has always been one to have controversial opinions when it comes to issues of religion as he has called out different pastors around Nigerian on things they say. These pastors include Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Prophet TB Joshua and Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.
Now, he has added Bishop Oyedepo to his list of victims. He took to Twitter to say that Bishop Oyedepo is practicing stupid pastoral marketing that keeps religious people in perpetual poverty. This was Bisi’s reaction to a sermon the Bishop gave on issues of tithes and getting blessings from God.
Bishop Oyedepo had said: “Everybody believes that God has an open heaven order of blessings for his people. But you see, it takes your tithing to qualify for it. So if you only know the promise and don’t know the conditions, you will die frustrated.”
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of sin, of poverty, of death, but what does it take to get there? It takes faith in the demands. People just believe the promise but you also need to believe the demands.” the bishop said.
