Biodun Fatoyinbo, the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, has supported the sack of pastors from the church by the Founder of the Living Faith Church International aka Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo.
The news of the sack became popular
on the internet after one Pastor Godwin claimed that he and 40 others were
sacked because they failed to generate enough money for the church.
Bishop Oyedepo while addressing the
issue before his congregation, described the pastors who were laid off as being
unproductive and blatant failures’.
He also said “People are confused
about our Ministry. I learnt some fellows said, ‘you know, they are not
bringing income, that is why they asked them to go’.
“We asked you to go because you are
unfruitful. Unfruitful! Blatant failure. Doing what there?”
Fatoyinbo declaring his support for
Bishop Oyedepo took to his Instagram stating that laziness and unfruitfulness
cannot be accommodated.
He wrote, “No room for laziness and
unfruitfulness. Question: If you were fired in the bank for not meeting up with
your deliverables, will you go on social media?”
Fatoyinbo further made his stand
known with an illustration from the Bible, “He spake also this parable; A
certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought
fruit thereon, and found none.”
“Then said he unto the dresser of
his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree,
and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said
unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and
dung it:
“And if it bears fruit, well: and
if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. Luke 13: 6 – 9.”
Fatoyinbo also noted that
laziness is not to have its place in the church and as such everyone is
expected to live a productive life or step aside.
