Oyedepo to believers pleading with thieves in politics, "May they not eat poison"

Bishop David Oyedpo of the Living Faith Church criticized the practice of certain Christians currying favor with public officials who are said to have stolen money from the government.

"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," he said.

"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".

There might be repercussions for such conduct, according to the wealthiest African pastor, who said as much on Sunday during the inaugural Pre Shiloh Encounter Service.

The clergy asserted that since its founding in 1981, no government has granted the Living Faith Church any financial favors.
