How Bishop Abioye made lawyer love Winners
In a heartfelt post on Facebook, Barrister Lilian recalled how she started attending Winners Chapel in 2009.
The former staunch Catholic said Bishop Abioye made her fall in love with the church. She said he preached with wisdom and narrated how they followed him when he was transferred to Goshen City at Keffi.
"Make anything out of this but I lost every interest to be at Shiloh immediately I noticed Bishop David O. Abioye wasn't there.
"When I started attending winners chapel at Durumi Abuja far back 2009, I fell in love with winners chapel because of him.
"When he preach, you'd not know when your book get filled up with words of wisdom flowing from his mouth.
"Like when it was announced he'll be transferred to Goshen City at Keffi, we all followed him there. We'd drive for an hour plus with all the hold ups just to go listen to him back then.
"I was a staunch Catholic,but believe me I gave up been one because of him..."
Barrister Lilian noted that Bishop Abioye's absence from the annual programme took a great toll on her and many others who may not have wanted to speak about it.
"...You can understand the effects of not seeing him at Shiloh this year on many of us though not many would love to speak about it.
"They said he'll maybe appear later as a guest, that's not enough abeg. He's as much part of Shiloh way more than most of them sitting pretty there.
"What happened?
"Why was he not there as he has always been?
"Don't tell me he's made that I should focus on myself, we've right to like anyone we choose to..."
