Bishop Oyedepo Speaks On Pastors Using Church Money To Live Large

The Founder of Living Faith Church called Winners Chapel Bishop David Oyedepo has cautioned pastors against using church funds for private stuff.

Concise News understands that Bishop Oyedepo gave the warning recently in a message he captioned “ACCESSING YOUR NEXT LEVELS BY AVOIDING THE LOVE OF MONEY.”

According to the revered clergyman, the love of money has drawn several men into destruction, noting that financial faithfulness leads to fruitfulness.

“Beware of the love of money, it draws men into destruction and perdition. Let the love of God take the love of money in your heart 1 Tim 6:11 and before you know it, you and God are working together to make things happen in that ministry. That is the way it works,” he said.

“Demarcate ministry resources from private resources. I have never lacked from my private resources.

“If you will not be faithful financially, you will not be fruitful financially. You’re answerable to God on how you deal with the resources at your disposal.”

He noted that “You can’t write a cheque on church money for a suit to wear, you can’t write a cheque on church money for your children school fees, those are your private concerns.

“Yes, you have your pay. The offerings in the church are not yours, they came to worship their God with it and for the purpose of the kingdom of their God, and so you are answerable to God on it.”
