The Bishop of Living Faith Church worldwide, Dr. David Oyedepo, has warned critics of the school fees charged by the church’s premier higher institution, Covenant University, to desist or risk incurring the wrath of God.
Oyedepo, in a telecast to a pre-Shiloh 2016 Convention gathering of the church monitored via satellite in Jos, Plateau State on Saturday, said the critics were acting in ignorance.
He said one of such critic smitten with a strange plague of chronic mouth odour over the act, only received spiritual pardon following his confession and “my intervention before he was restored to dignity”.
Bishop Oyedepo said the issue of school fees paid by students of the university was a godly agenda to meet the demands of raising godly children in an environment conducive for learning.
He said such criticisms were products of ignorance as what students pay could not be compared with what obtained elsewhere that lacked facilities.
“The school fees has God’s approval and is in accordance with the quality of facilities provided by the university in meeting the educational needs of the nation”, he said.
He said the church in its pioneering role in pushing the frontiers of education with excellence had concluded plans to establish offshore universities.
The cleric said a fully automated Bible press by the church had been completed and would be launched soon.
Oyedepo, however, quoting from some verses of the Bible, which include Matthew 24:6-8, 1Peter 2:9, Joel 2:2 and Mal. 4:1, said the current economic meltdown was predicted but that committed Christians would be exempted.
He prayed for resources for parents to always meet the demands of the time and declared the theme of this year’s Shiloh holding between Dec. 6 and Dec. 10 as “My Case is Different”.
The bishop said this year’s annual event of Shiloh would not be advertised as past events as it would be church based.
How many of the people in the church can afford to send their children to a school with fee approved by God?
Maybe it was the manner or Personal Internet. Jesus Christ Himself was Angry when He came and met people doing business in the temple. The Bible said that he turned the tables updise down. No one today can say that the University is not making reasonable Profit at the pocket of the poor members. Bishop is already a rich Person and should lead others by example by reducing the school fees. Thank you.
