Bishop David Abioye's Church: Man Sends Strong Message To Retired Living Faith Pastor

• A Nigerian man has penned a message to retired Bishop David Abioye, formerly a pastor at the Living Faith Church
• The man said Bishop Abioye served the Winners' Chapel faithfully and was qualified to open his own ministry
• According to him, the preacher had overstayed his time at the church and deserved to launch his own project

A Nigerian man has stated that Bishop David Abioye, who retired from the Winners' Chapel, deserved to have his own ministry.

Awuzie Frankline's comment came after it was reported that Bishop Abioye had begun to host Sunday services in Abuja.

The popular man of God retired from Winners' Chapel in 2024 at the age of 63, but some have questioned his retirement.

In a Facebook post, Awuzie Frankline gave his views and said that Bishop Abioye had faithfully served his former church.

"Bishop David Abioye has officially inaugurated his ministry after leaving Winners Chapel. In my opinion, you are exceptionally qualified to establish your own ministry, sir. The majority of churches in Nigeria originated from a main church."

Awuzie noted that many churches began as an offshoot of other ministries but some were not willing to acknowledge this.

"Some churches began as a result of disobedience, rebelliousness, and ingratitude towards the church that nurtured them. However, today they are acting as if they never had their roots in another church and are criticizing members who followed in their footsteps."

He said there were numerous churches in his area and insisted that some of their founders had not been called by God.

"In my area alone, there are over 100 small church buildings, as those small pastors refused to maintain an alliance with the main church. Even some pastors who God never flashed or called are claiming they are called by God. Nevertheless, Bishop David Abioye has overstayed and deserves to have his own church and control his own destiny. Congratulations sir."

His post comes after footage from Bishop Abioye's Sunday service was posted online, attracting numerous reactions.
