Say dat morning, “I just dey finish preaching, bishop come later.”

“Bishop Oyedepo com bring plate, pour oil, dey anoint pipo hand, and prophesize say as I dey anoint your hand, na so money go dey follow you”

Mr. Bakare com yarn say, if him no wise up small, him for don get big wahala wit Oyedepo dat day, but dem dey stay same suite, dey pray togeda before dem go preach.

But wen dem reach room, him tell Mr. Oyedepo say, ‘You talk something downstairs wey me no see Bible base am.”

Him say na so bishop com tell am say, one day wey Pastor Adeboye preach for am, Adeboye talk say, because of di anointing, when Jezebel die, dog no fit touch her head, hand or foot wey dey anointed.

Na so him com ask bishop, “you dey transfer Jezebel anointing to dem or wetin?”

Him com tell Oyedepo say, “me go correct dat mistake wey you don make for next session” but Oyedepo say “no”

Him com tell am say, “me no fit preach if you no go correct dat kind mistake wey you don make”

“I go pack my tings, comot for di hotel” and from dat day till now, dem no dey preach togeda again.

“Me no dey fight pipo, but me go defend di gospel, because gospel na wetin mata pass” na so Pastor talk.

“Me, I no bi perfect oo, but make you show me say wetin you dey do na based on God word.”

“But if you no fit follow God word, den make we go by law and testimony.”

“If dem no talk according to God word, na sign say dem no get light, na simple mata bi dat.”

“We dey Ghana, one big Pastor com ask me if I don talk to Oyedepo about dis thing. Him claim say Oyedepo dey receive special revelation from God, wey be hidden mystery.”

Him com ansa dat Pastor say, “Me Bible don already reveal everyting, no more hidden mystery. Make we just focus on preaching gospel, no more, no less.”

Him still dey close to some men of God, like Pastor Mike Okonkwo, but him don distance himself from many odas big pastore because of Bible principles.

Because say Bishop Mike bi big leader for gospel, him and Dr. Felix Omobude, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) President, na two pesin wey I dey look up to.”

“And na only dia two Dr. Omobude and Bishop Mike I contact during Covid lockdown.”

Dr. “Omobude go call me to check on me, I go call Bishop Mike to confirm say him and him wife dey alright.”

“Me expect dem to check me well-well if I dey spread error, because we no suppose pollute atmosphere, because e go affect plenty pipo and younger ones too.”

“Him be man wey get large heart, and him no dey stray from Gospel.”

“I no dey talk say dem make mistake, but within our connection, tings fit change, and pesin fit repent and move on.”

“You no get right to dey hold dem to wetin happen long time ago.”

“Plenty tins happen, and I go reveal am all wen I drop my memoir; I go talk about my journey with dem men of God and why we go separate ways.”
