General Overseer of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo has once again responded to critics over the sack of over 40 pastors from his church.
In his earlier response, Oyedepo described the sacked pastors as unfruitful failures who failed to grow the ministry.
Responding again on August 1, 2021, Oyedepo described the dismissed pastors as “sick and unproductive” who was plugged out because they failed to reach a minimum of 12 souls in a week.
He also blasted Nigerians who have been criticizing him for building a 100,000 seater church auditorium named “The Ark”, instead of factories to curb unemployment.
Oyedeop said “Rural church is going on. All the offerings from Rural churches for the next 40 years cannot build what they are building for them. I learned some fellows were saying that it is because they do not have offering, that is why we said they should go.

“It is because you are sick. You are unproductive. You have been plugged out. We sent you to go to the villages to reach out to a minimum of 12 souls in a week and ensure that a minimum of six of them come to church and then six months, you don’t have 10. You are unprofitable. Sound management brought us here.
“Keeping unprofitable servant makes you a poor manager.’ You have the right to resign. We have the right to sack you. It is a system. It is like that everywhere.
“They are building one hundred thousand seat auditorium. Did they collect money from you? They should have built a factory. Do you budget for somebody’s resources? Keep quiet my friend and face your job. They enjoy hearing from me so I like speaking to them.” he said
