The Nigerian writer, Activist, and Social media influencer, Reno Omokri has reacted to the critics following a luxurious Rolls Royce Cullinan and N1bn donation that were received by the General overseer of the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), Pastor David Oyedepo who marked his 70th birthday yesterday the 28th of September 2024.
The gift is said to have been given to Oyedepo by his loved ones to appreciate him for how impactful he has been to their lives.
Oyedepo’s birthday was marked with an outstanding celebration, which was graced by great men of God such as Pastor E.A Adeboye the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian church of God.
The Activist who is known for antagonizing corrupt leaders and hypocrites, Reacted to this with a post in his X handle condemning the criticism and stating that Oyedepo deserves even more than what he received.
“People who complain that members of Living Faith Church are insensitive for buying Bishop Oyedepo a pair of Rolls Royce vehicles as a birthday present during these harsh economic times would have also criticised Yeshua (Jesus) for accepting the alabaster box of ointment that Mariam (Mary), the sister of Martha, bought for Him.
But what was Yeshua’s response when Yehudah Scariota (Judas Iscariot) criticised Mary, and called for the perfume to be sold and the proceeds given to the poor?
“The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.”-Matthew 26:11.
If you feel so strongly about people experiencing poverty, then spend your money on feeding, housing and educating them. For your information, Bishop David Oyedepo, through Living Faith Church Worldwide, has a welfare budget for the poor that is larger than the social security budget of any state in Nigeria, except Lagos State.
Oyedepo is not the past administration that brought us to this state. He deserves even more Rolls Royces!
