Bishop David Oyedepo, senior pastor of the Living Faith Church, has warned Christians against criticizing clergy.
Such an attitude, according to Oyedepo, attracts dangerous punishment from God, such as leprosy.
The renowned clergyman issued the warning at the church’s headquarters, Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, during the Leadership Empowerment Summit.
Many critics of Oyedepo’s ministry must have been victims of the warning, according to Oyedepo, who emphasizes that the warnings are based on spiritual insights.
“Beware of speaking hurt against the Ministry you claim to be part of advancing, it’s a risk. Beware of speaking hurt against a Prophet you claim to believe. It is dangerous. It can make a man leprous. It is dangerous. We don’t have the data of how many victims may have come from this warning, but I know quite some would have been victims.”he said.
