The Bishop of the
Living Faith Church worldwide, Dr. David Oyedepo, has appealed to those criticising
the school fees charged by Covenant University to desist to avoid incurring the
wrath of God.
Oyedepo, in a
telecast to a pre-Shiloh 2016 Convention gathering of the church monitored via
satellite in Jos on Saturday, said the critics were acting in ignorance and
risked incurring the wrath of God.
He said one of such
critic, who was 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”.
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.
He said, “The
school fees has Gods approval and is in accordance with the quality of
facilities provided by the university in meeting the educational needs of the
nation.”
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.
