Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church, has bemoaned the way some Christians seek favor with elected officials who are alleged to have stolen public funds.
Bishop Oyedepo claimed that these actions could have negative effects while speaking on Sunday during the first Pre-Shiloh Encounter Service.
The clergyman claimed that since its founding in 1981, no government has granted the Living Faith Church any financial favors.
He said, “You need to see how many believers are running around those who steal government money. For what to eat, you know it is stolen money and you are laughing and consuming it with them.
“You know the judgement of God, God has more in store for you than any man has available. There is no one dime of government funds in this ministry. Never! We don’t do launching so we don’t invite anybody.
“We don’t launch anything, each one launches himself as he hears the word by the one he chooses to believe. Caution my friend, caution. May you not eat poison.”
