Pastor Adeboye argues against poverty as virtueIn a viral video, Adeboye countered that dying poor would also invite criticism.
“Someone gave a bishop a car and some people got very upset that how can a bishop be driving a Rolls Royce? As if once you are a bishop you must die of hunger,” the RCCG general overseer said.“Let me tell you my beloved children, if you die poor they will blame you; they will say after all these days of you serving God this is how you end? If you can’t pay your rent, they will say where is your God?”Adeboye: “They will attack you anyway”Adeboye concluded that regardless of one’s financial situation, criticism is inevitable.
“If all of a sudden you start riding a Rolls Royce, they will attack you, so which of the two do you choose? They are going to attack you anyway, whether you die of poverty or you live in abundance,” he added.Tope Alabi drops tribute song for Oyedepo In other news, the gospel singer and her daughter dropped a joint tribute song for Bishop Oyedepo.
