Pastor Adeboye defends Oyedepo’s Rolls Royce gift amid criticism

Pastor Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has responded to the backlash surrounding Bishop David Oyedepo’s 70th birthday celebration and the luxury gifts he received, including a Rolls Royce. Critics argued that such displays of wealth overshadow spiritual values.

In a video, Adeboye addressed the criticism, defending Oyedepo, stating:

“Someone gave a bishop a car and some people got very upset that how can a bishop be driving a Rolls Royce? As if once you are a bishop you must die of hunger.”

“Let me tell you my beloved children, if you die poor they will blame you; they will say after all these days of you serving God this is how you end? If you can’t pay your rent, they will say where is your God?

“If all of a sudden you start riding a Rolls Royce they will attack you, so which of the two do you choose? They are going to attack you anyway, whether you die of poverty or you live in abundance.”
