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.
