He noted that without orchestrating it, a similar vehicle was later presented to him by some of his spiritual sons on his 50th birthday.

“Last year, myself, my covenant brother, and two pastors in this nation bought a certain car for Bishop David Oyedepo,” he said.
“I wasn’t even there when they presented it because the Bible says you will reap when you sow, not necessarily where you sow. Do you know that on January 1st, my 50th birthday, some sons just came together and bought me the same car without me arranging it? I was surprised.”

His remarks were intended to encourage his congregation to embrace the principle of giving, urging them not to delay in practicing acts of faith. “Wake up,” he urged.

“Don’t wait till you’re 80 before you wake up. Wake up now.”

Distrust among Nigerian youths towards prosperity preachers

While Fatoyinbo’s testimony was met with excitement by some members of his church, it reignited concerns about the culture of wealth and prosperity teachings in Nigerian Pentecostal circles.

Over the years, many pastors have been accused of using spiritual influence to amass wealth, often at the expense of their congregants.

A growing number of Nigerian youths have become increasingly skeptical of religious leaders who emphasize giving to the church or to senior ministers as a guaranteed path to financial breakthrough.

Many argue that these teachings create an unhealthy cycle where congregants feel pressured to donate even when struggling financially, while pastors enjoy opulent lifestyles.

Social media reactions to Fatoyinbo’s testimony reflected this sentiment, with many questioning why members are often encouraged to give sacrificially while only a select few seem to reap visible rewards.

Some users pointed out the irony of churchgoers struggling to make ends meet while their pastors acquire luxury cars and private jets.
