Biodun Fatoyinbo, the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), has backed Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church International, aka Winners’ Chapel, on the sacking of some pastors in the church.
The news of the pastors’ sacking became a subject of controversy when one Pastor Godwin claimed that he and 40 other pastors were sacked for failing to generate enough income.

However, Oyedepo later addressed the issue while speaking to his congregation, describing the sacked pastors as ‘unfruitful, blatant failure.’
Fatoyinbo supports Oyedepo's action
Reacting to the development via his Instagram page, Fatoyinbo stated that there is no room for laziness and unfruitfulness.
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?”
The pastor further gave a parable from the Bible, saying:
“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.”

"No romance with laziness or unfruitful. Pure and absolute truth. "
