In a video that was shared on Instagram by @instablog9ja, Bishop Oyedepo also spoke about the recently sacked pastors of Winner's Chapel, saying they were sacked because of their unproductivity.
He said:
"We sent you to the village to reach out to minimum of 12 souls in a week and ensure that minimum six of them come to church and then six months you don't have 10, you are unprofitable, you shouldn't survive."
According to him, keeping unprofitable servants makes one a poor manager. The cleric also said in as much as pastors have the right to resign, the church also has the right to sack them.
