THERE ARE TOO MANY LAZY PEOPLE IN CHURCH
THERE IS NO PLACE FOR AN IDLE MAN IN THE KINGDOM
– Bishop David Oyedepo
Bishop Oyedepo whilst preaching on Sunday has addressed slothfulness among believers and some pastors. He said “I came back from Ghana one time and I began to teach on There Is No Food For An Idle Man. I saw that inscription on a lorry in the hotel where I was staying and I said if I was going to Nigeria by road, this is the lorry I will board because it will be speaking to me till I get there. Church Gist. There are too many lazy people in the Church, too many lazy people in the church. You know some pastors say they are full time pastors but they are full time lazy. I told my sons working with me. Most people think ministry is preaching. They have lost 90 per cent of it. Preaching is 10 per cent. The work that brings the preaching is the work.”
He further stressed that there is no excuse to be idle, in his own words “There is someone here that was selling smoked fish in Britain and built a factory and a house. Smoked fish! You think they don’t like it? They were saying “I want smoked fish.” When the idea is from God, everybody will like it. Young people, listen to me. You sit down from morning till night in the name of looking for a job in your mother’s house. You eat morning, afternoon and night. They say fast, you say you have ulcer. There is something for everyone to do. He that does not work, let him not eat. Church Gist. God provides for our daily bread by showing us what to do to keep going. There is no place for an idle man in the Kingdom. One young man here was hawking bread to pay his way through school in Covenant. Another one was hawking bread in molue to earn his first degree in UNILAG. There is no dirty business. Every business that engenders legitimate earning is a dignified business.”
