Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, commonly referred to as Winners Chapel International, recently cautioned individuals involved in internet fraud, commonly referred to as ”Yahoo”.
At a Sunday service held in Canaanland, Ota, Bishop Oyedepo urged the youth to refrain from engaging in fraudulent practices and to abide by the laws.
He emphasized the importance of honesty and integrity, particularly addressing those participating in online scams.
“Nobody playing games has a future in the kingdom. Hear this and hear it forever. If that is your trade, stop it,” he declared, explicitly condemning the activities of those who engage in acquiring people’s ATM card details through deceitful means.
The Bishop emphasized the inevitable bitter end for those involved in such nefarious activities.
“You are on a very fast lane that always ends in bitterness and destruction,” he warned.
Bishop Oyedepo emphasized the importance of understanding the spiritual laws of sowing and reaping, as well as the principles of seedtime and harvest.
He urged his audience to embrace these laws with enthusiasm, generosity, and perseverance, affirming that diligent efforts following these principles would result in success.
“Engage with that law and watch how you begin to lay up gold with time,” he advised.
In 2022, Pastor David Ibiyeomie from Salvation Ministries referred to internet fraudsters as thieves and declared that they would face unrest as long as they persisted in stealing from others.
Bishop Oyedepo’s denouncement of cybercrimes coincides with Nigeria’s struggle against a significant rise in such activities, which has adversely affected the country’s reputation on a global scale.
In other news, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the founder of Love World Ministries, popularly known as Christ Embassy, has made a controversial claim online.
During the Healing Steam Festival, the pastor disclosed that he raised over 50 people from the dead during the last year.
When asked how he could explain such things, he mentioned how people from other nations, both elderly and young, have been resurrected from the dead by his Ministry.
He added that occasional miracles occurred in hospitals, leaving physicians and nurses perplexed.
Noting that people sometimes accuse pastors of bribing people for miracles, he joked that he may have bribed the dead to come back to life.
He said:
“In the last one year, we have had more than 50 people raised from the dead. How do you explain such things? Both old and young, in various countries.
How do you explain? What will you use to explain them? Including the ones that happened in the hospitals to the amazement of doctors and nurses.
How do you explain? Maybe we bribed them in heaven or hell to come back. You know sometimes they say we bribe people, maybe we bribe the dead to come back to live. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”.
