This actually happened a few weeks back but I'm only just hearing about it. According to sources in the know, during Winners Chapel Cross Over service on Tuesday January 1st in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun state, worshipers of the church made donations of over 700 exotic cars to the church. People who felt they had been richly blessed in 2012 came to the cross over service with different donations, most significant was the number of exotic brand new cars and SUVs that flooded Canaanland. The people who donated them dropped the keys and documents of the cars during offering. The church auctioned the cars at very cheap prizes to its members. Some cars were sold for as low as N300k.
Wow! Dat is awesome! Givers truly dnt lack! Lessons learnt!
ReplyDeleteLinda I don't know if your anti Men of God, because you only post things that gives a wrong impression about them but when they do good deeds you don't post it but you post of celebrities, give your Heart to Christ and be objective. God bless you.

DeleteGrace! Can't u read?
DeleteI agree with Grace. Why won't Linda post the gifts donated in her church or to her pastor in a " neutral " manner? The heading gives a wrong impression and people shouldn't comment on what they do not understand. Besides, what others do with their money is their business not anyone else's.
DeleteI agree with Grace. The heading gives a wrong impression about him and the church. Why won't Linda post on gifts donated to her pastor or her church in a "neutral" manner?

DeleteThe cars were sold as none tested, was not as cheap as you (linda) presented it. The prices were same as sold in any local car dealer shop. Infact, some of the cars were just on the high side, but very few were moderately priced.

ReplyDeleteHmmmm, this church business good o! But I reserve my comment.
ReplyDeleteAwesome God
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it should not have been auctioned but rather given free to dedicated workers in the church who don't have cars. If they are more than 700, they can do a raffle like draw to guarantee fairness.
ReplyDeleteGood its been sold to members, not that they are parked in someones garage

ReplyDeleteas "less" as 300k?....linda its u i'm getting!
ReplyDeletePls linda point of correction it wasn't donation does cars and other items were given as a seed offering.sowing to God to reap more blessings from God.even lands were sown n the church brought all these items together n sold it to the members of the church that cld not afford dese tinz At a very cheap rate.
ReplyDeleteShut up ur dirty mouth!
DeletePoor people brought stuffs to God as offerings, and they were auctioned to the rich who had money to buy them. If u don't know this things, just shut up.
Those stuffs should have been given out to the less priveledge ones or families in need and not auctioned.

ReplyDeleteThese so called blessed people giving the exotic cars, what is the opportunity cost to the country Nigeria and its people.Take it anywhere these so called blessings are the reason we don not have electricity,water ,good hospitals, good educational institutions.It is about time we start asking ourselves these very questions.If only we had even a million true Christians in Nigeria it will be very evident in everyday living in our country. Corruption is the air we breathe in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteIs he trying to insult our intelligence? Im not the kind of person that criticize's people's actions. But for for pastors of his kind in Nigeria, i will make an exception. There is nothing worse than using the desperation of people seeking spiritual solutions, to make money. He gave the cars out at give away prices. So what? Linda, I beg you, listen to those that claim to be members of his church. It makes you wonder whether they worship God or worship him. What is even worse is that they actually condemn other churches and paint his church as the only church of salvation. This is a man that slaps people in the name of chasing out demons. Even our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ did not need to do that to win souls. Wake up people! Differentiate pastors from profiteers.
ReplyDeletePREACH!
DeleteReally,we say his church is the only salvation church?wen he calls Adeboye his father and have pple like david ibiyeomie and sam adeyemi as friends....winners has always bin a friend,child and mother to several ministries...so pls just shaarap
Deletebloggers stop blaming Linda for her headlines. That's the work of journalism, a good journalist would always want the headline to be concise, informative and in other word entertaining to hook readers into the reading of the whole article.
ReplyDelete@11.06 na so you guyz are washed was Jesus rich,he walked on the world poor,now people that use his name are million ans while all of us is heading to one place(judgement)
ReplyDeleteDo u even read d bible @ all? Jesus was poor so we can be rich,he was bruised for our iniquities,he was disgraced so dat we can av eternal life...
DeleteThe cars were freely donated to the church, why didn't the church also give out the same cars? This is pure business.

MISS Linda, i expect you to get your sources right ah ahn...i am a worshipper at Living Faith Church where BIshop David Oyedepo pastors and i expect you even as a so called Christian to know that offerings or sacrifices are not offered to the Men of God but to God Himself unless you expect them to to take first flight to heaven and give God His offering face to face, i don't know what you expect them to do but please leave this Man and His ministry alone...He is a blessed Man of God. If you r doubting You are welcome to worship with us.. Just stop soiling his name to get ratings and comments.. Thank you.

DeleteNa wa oooooo so na ppl give dis car to dis man of GOD hmmmmm make dey man of GOD give me too na abi we too no bi parson come linda make u dey try lett dan say we too dey here na n ppl dey outside dey look 4 food na he ppl dey give 700 cars dis 9nija ppl na wa oooo! Na baba GOD go save us!
ReplyDeletedid he force them to bring the cars? A man invested what he hs in people and they come to appreciate him with gifts they see befiting for the kind of investment he has made in their lives and idle jealous beefing people are here killing their poor self. If e d pain u, go invest in peope.
ReplyDelete1: the cars weren't donated to the pastor but to the church and God
ReplyDelete2: you don't give a poor man a car..he will never maintain it and its d least in his priority( frm experience: he sold it scrap @ d end after spoiling it!)
3: the pastor no ask o...na una members decide am o!....niyinugar says so!
Linda why are you causing this wahala now?It was shiloh sacrifice and Bishop no force anybody to donate and even it was not to him but to God. And people should be careful on things you will say to the man of God. Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm. And stop judging Bishop or living faith church.
ReplyDeleteShould have identified those who needed it amongst the congregation and then, given it away - paying it forward!!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't need?even a 5yr old child will come out to collect..wt he did I'm sure ws a result of seeking Gods face.
DeleteWho doesn't need?even a 5yr old child will come out to collect..wt he did I'm sure ws a result of seeking Gods face.
DeleteDoes Bishop Oyedepo need 700 cars?
ReplyDeleteSome of u don't understand wot giving is, dere is prophet offering n giving to d poor, pple re gettin blessed u re dere criticising. Pple dat been blessed re giving.u re complaining pple give. He even gives d cars out. When God gave Jesus did he complain. Till date he still d highest giver.
ReplyDeleteIts a seed offering, and people donated as they feel led, by the Spirit. When I give God a seed offering, its to God, not to man. They didnt give it to him personally. The title is misleading. I dont go to Winners but I know the principle though of seed and harvest. This was a Shiloh sacrifice, some give money, some give clothes, some give land/property, cars, whatever they consider precious. This isnt news, so LOL "sources in the know", it happens at Shiloh every year. In life, once you realize that all you have is God, and you are easy to let go, your hands will always be ready to receive.
ReplyDeleteIts funny how everyone wants from God, but many find it hard to let go and give back to Him.
Wow! Great! Imagine being big enough to give out cars! They can only be bigger for it... Me like
ReplyDeletegivers never lack God bless these great man of God
ReplyDeleteThey were too expensive for everyone to buy; it was only the rich that could afford them.
ReplyDeleteTo all u haters, u have gotten it wrong. The cars are 700 in ota, however worshippers in other states in nigeria also gave their cars as offerings. We should b looking at about 2000 cars. #get it right
ReplyDeleteYour beef would never stop what is going on in the house of God.
The cars were not given 2. The Bishop btw, they were given as offerings.
Actually they did not donate the cars to Bishop Oyedepo, rather they gave a sacrificial offering to God.
ReplyDeleteTo some it's a fulfillment of their Promise to God in return to their breakthrough.......
...just throwing more lightooo.
lol
blind, deaf , dumb and foolish. we have so much to learn. sowing seeds come with a lot of factors to consider, 1. is the seed a good one
ReplyDelete2. is the soil a fertile one.
3. are the the conditions necessary for growth, development that would lead to harvest in place.
4. is it the season.
the parable of the sower makes us understand these things.
Don't expect a bountiful harvest when u sow a bad seed, neither should you expect one if the soil is not a good one nor if the timing is wrong (season).
if you must sow, you must do so wisely.
God is everywhere it is not imperative that you sow a good seed in church before you reap bountiful harvest. there is so much fertile land out there waiting for good seeds.
prophets of the old did not live in affluence and so depended on God and their brethren for material things.
We have to be wise, we were created so.
Lord you will do it for me oooo
ReplyDeleteLord, have mercy!
ReplyDeleteCan you remember why Jesus drove some people out of the Temple?
ReplyDeleteWe ought to be careful with our comments. those cars were giving as offerings and anonymously. Bishop Oyedepo is a man of God who shows us the way. The impacts of his teachings are felt everywhere even without coming in direct contact with him. This is one true man of God so be CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY

ReplyDeleteLINDA, YOU SHOULD CHANGE THAT HEADING COS ITS JUST TOO MISLEADING. IF THE CARS OFFERED ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND SOLD AT SUCH LOW PRICES THEN ITS OK. DESPITE THE FACT THAT SOME PASTORS EMBEZZLE CHURCH FUNDS , A CHURCH CANNOT BE RUN WITHOUT MONEY SO IT IS GOOD WHEN MONEY COMES INTO THE CHURCH. THE ISSUE IS ACCOUNTABILITY.
ReplyDeleteI believe they gave the cars to God as a painful seeds.giving God wat cost you somrthing just like David did in the bible.understanding and knowledge of Gods word makes people act like that.when you come to that level that your eyes are open via the scriptures, you willunderstand what they did.sowing a seed of a car is not only done in that church ,its don in many churches include catholic and anglican.God blesss me to sponsor your work.
ReplyDeleteall you Christians that allow yourselves be deceived by ORDINARY men are at best laughable, but usually it is pity that I feel for you. So many people who could help family members, villagers, beggers on the streets (who you only give 'change' as your christian act of the week) allow fear control you.; fear of pastor, fear of hell, fear of people chasing you from your ancestral lineage. It is a great pity. I'm not saying dont be a Christian but the idea of tithing is supposed to be about wealth distribution. We are supposed to help the less privileged around us, not try to buy a God's love and forgiveness. If the churches really used the monies to help our society there would be a gradual change. Forget the man of God- but what the fuck would your jesus do?
ReplyDeleteSlap ur silly mouth I guess
DeleteWhy use your potty language whilst making a reference to Jesus...may God forgive you
DeleteWhat is wrong with this society???? If you feel so blessed in 2012 why not help people in need in your vicinity? There's always someone to help - just look around you!!!

ReplyDeleteVirgin Atlantic accused of racism: lynnajade.blogspot.com
Lol @ Nigerians and their greed. Look at the level of poverty and the general widespread apathy portrayed by these same people when it comes to those living in poor conditions. Most Nigerians don't give to the Church or God just for the sake of giving. They give because they want more.
ReplyDeleteHow about just giving. Give to someone who ACTUALLY needs it. God isn't going to punish you if you did that. In fact, God encourages that more than frivolous donations to churches. Sell the car and give the proceeds to someone. Sponsor a child to a nice school. Man, there are so many things that a person can do in this country for others who are less privileged, and instead most of us give to the church. It's all greed.
Anyways, I've come to understand that when religion is concerned, Nigerians lose their minds. It's desperation and poverty that's the cause of it. Everyone is claiming God, yet corruption in this country is at a record high, not just at the government level, but among even the most common Nigerian. Everywhere. People are just twisted inside with no sense of right or wrong.
Chucks
Givers always remain on top.I sowed a seed of just 50000 naira which was my last and i wanted to use it in paying my rent which was not even upto half of what i needed to pay a six months rent.The next day God surprises me and someone calls to ask for my account number and then the exact amount i needed to pay for a 1 year rent was what was paid into my account.PRAISE GOD!Thats what giving does
ReplyDeleteAll i can say is dat its gud to tank God wen He blesses u,federal ministry of education is currently on for both undergraduates and postgraduates,pls visit www.jobgoals.blogspot.com for details
ReplyDeleteIf you who is complaining is playing your part be you a muslim ,christian,pagan or traditional worshiper Nigeria will be a better place.How many less priviledged within your locality have you been a blessing to.It is easier to condemn people when we are not any better
ReplyDelete@ Scott Samuel, will u cut off those rotten hands u used to type that rubbish and shut d mind that u are thinking it with...
ReplyDeletehow is that seed not sown in the right season, eh? or d write soil..u talk about d parable of the sower, why speak of something u obviously do not understand? that parable refers to how so many will fall out of the kingdom becos of wehere they fell and d rest, pls go back and read it again n this time ask for understanding,ok?..
i guess u want 'em to come and sow the "good" seed in ur life hence the outburst..
what classifies a seed as good or bad..be careful about what u say or write against the people of God, lest God punish u for ignorance and foolishness!!!
do u know d amount of people that come to shiloh, there are so much!!
and it's no one's fault that majority of them were inclined to sow a car..maybe they want something bigger than what they have sown..
the cars are not for Daddy Oyedepo but the church!!
To everyone talking about the church being blessed, that is arrant nonsense! The money could have been donated to motherless babies' homes, to projects in nigeria that are actually dedicated to improving the country. This man owns institutions that collect FEES from attendees. Surely he generates a lot of cash from these institutions. Guys we need to stop worshiping our leaders in Nigeria an worship God! Jesus was not a man of wealth, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT!!!
ReplyDeleteGod loves prosperity.The bible says "i wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in good health".God also said in the bible that in blessing he will bless his children and we shall be a blessing to all nations of the earth.If God does not bless thos working in his vineyard who else should he bless especially since the silver and the gold belongs to him.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who u r but I definitely love u for your comment.
DeleteI don't know who u r but I definitely love u for your comment.
DeleteFor those people who have issues with prosterity maybe we should pray for you to either remain poor or get poor.
ReplyDeleteI mostly laughed when reading the comments. the fact is most people just posted ignorantly imagine "somebody wishing she had a man of God as her sugar daddy" God go help some people o!
ReplyDeleteDuring shiloh, people gave a lot, my sister gave her pair of bcbg shoes she got as a gift, my mom gave her gold set, my brother-in-law his laptop and so on, you know why we gave these things, so that God can bless us so we can be a blessing to others. Papa did not say if you don't give, you will die or you will not progress; instead he said if you don't have don't give.
About helping the poor, Winners Chapel has a welfare arm that just donates food items, clothing and cash weekly to anybdy that come in, be they Christian, moslem or otherwise. Last week, i brought two bags of baby clothes to church to be distributed to those in need.
I used to condemn Winners as prosperity church but since I joined them and see that things have started chaging in my life for the better, nobody told me before i started giving to God more and to others around me also.
You can't understand this until you see for yourself. God bless you all
Pls help me tell them. More ppl need to know that without ur money or donations the ministry is just blessed
Delete@ Lillian lawal,may God really hav mercy . at times its saddening how people think. u,lisa,fredrick and anonymous 1.10am has spoken my mind on this matter.May God bless us all. Amaka.
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous wow! i guess what u choose to call yourself speaks volumes. you do not have the mental capacity to understand what i wrote. let me ask you a couple of questions, do you know how many churches we have in Nigeria? do you also know that Christians are the majority in this country? do you know what the word Christian means? Then why is the majority Christ like and the country is the way it is today? you cannot understand where i am coming from.
ReplyDeleteLet me let you in on something, the best example you can get in life is from nature. That is the picture i was trying to paint when i used the parable of the sower.
please just don't be in a hurry to advertise your short comings.
Finally, when God calls an individual to do His biding he provides everything necessary.
Honestly it would take only ONE true man called by God to go on his knees and things would turn around for dis nation.
What is the beef. People give willingly according to the leading of the spirit. If you are led to give pls do so.
ReplyDeleteit is not my money.
wow... 4ni hw ppl misinterprete d bible, sayin Jesus was not a man of wealth, i cant remember ever seein in d bible dt Jesus lacked anything, he was d prince of peace, wich poor prince d'you know?? nt 2 sound 2 preachy tho, but next tym, understand a situation, being close to ds man has imparted more lives dn u cn ever imagine, he doznt need ur money, wen u sow, u sow in2 ur own future nd lyf, d ministry was built, stress free, wif God's divine provision, if u dont want to be part of d blessing, hold your peace. itz really dt simple

Nigerians shud start to learn that seed offerings can also be given elsewhere outside these churches. We have loads of orphanages, old people's homes,homes for physically challenged children, just to mention a few. Please and please channel your resources God has blessed you with there where people can truly benefit. David Beckham at the moment has agreed a new deal only that he has channelled his earnings to charity. Pastor David could have done the same.(just saying). Besides the pastor is not to blame, the congregation needs to be schooled.
ReplyDeletei tap into this blessing IJN.Amen
ReplyDeleteWell, if people are led to donate to the church, why not? I just hope the monies used in buying the cars donated are from legitimate sources. Not after 419ing someone or committing fraud or a politician who has embezzled. Anyway, that's not the church's fault. To people criticising Wnners for this gesture, I don't understand you o, I think Bishop did a good thing by auctioning them to church members. We too like free things in this country!
ReplyDeletegood recruitment drive.
ReplyDeleteU goofed!!wat diff does it make?
ReplyDeletechuch biz is becoming d best biz in d country!
ReplyDeleteI was born a catholic and remained so until late 2011 when an old lady invited me to the winners chapel, warri.
ReplyDeleteI got to the gate of this church and was held in awe by the sheer size of the complex,called winners.
There and then i told myself that this man's Gos is big enough for my ambition;as at that time i was without a job.
After the 2012 annual fasting and prayer of the church i git a call that changed my life,for good.
The things i have learnt since joining the commission i never heard as a catholic.
Papa'a teaching has so transformed my life tjat i am today a blessing to others.
I will odder his Gis anything as a sacrifice, for he is worth much more than anu material poasession.
Never even knew how to pray beyknd the templatized prayers in the simple prayer book,never knew the loeds prayers was actually a guide and not a prayer per se,never thought about Jesus injunction about giving bread and wine as communion:i only got bread as a catholic...so much to talk about..but Wimners is my shiloh for life
@aheadahead9ja
hmmm. Still watching.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 1.27am, Linda is not a journalist. Stop telling lies. Publish my comment. However, I cannot see anything wrong with the headline because that church is not a charity church. It is owned by somebody.
ReplyDelete1.The cars were given as an offering to God and not to Bishop Oyedepo.
ReplyDelete2.Those of you that said he is exploiting his congregation...abeg did he force them or even tell them to bring it??
3.For the guy that said our Lord Jesus did not hit people to chase out demons, read your bible again...Jesus whipped the bloody demons out of people inside the temple.
4.For those that are asking why they don't use the money as donations...they actually do. And just recently Bishop Oyedepo gave a donation of 1,000,000,000. #fact!!!
5.For all those ranting about the man's money...for the Love of Garri with cold Water...STOP RANTING, GET A LIFE AND MAKE SOME MONEY FOR YOURSELF!!!

Some people are so shallow, you keep saying the man of God should give the cars to the poor. Will you provide money for them to fuel the car? Do you want to make them poorer? Do you know car is a liabitility, unless you use it for commercial purpose?? You? Yes you who have big head and judging men of God. How many cars have you bought for the poor? Are you destined to be receiver and not the giver? Get a life.
ReplyDeleteMy dear fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, please don't let the pagans fool you.
LINDA, I LIKE YOUR WORK A LOT BUT WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE PASTORS LOOK BAD? NOT COOL
ReplyDeleteSo why couldn't he freely dash out the cars to members of his church who don't have.........after all he got them for free.
