The General Overseer of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo faces criticism for appointing his second son, Isaac, as the National Youth Pastor.
This controversy arose after the youth division of the church, Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF) made an announcement on its official Facebook page, revealing the new youth pastor.
However, this announcement didn’t sit well with some Nigerians, who expressed their discontent in the comments section.
Many questioned why bishop Oyedepo appointed his son for this role while terming the move as ‘turning church to family business.’
“On the behalf of the Youths of Living Faith Church Worldwide, we say a big welcome to our National Youth Pastor, Pastor Isaac Oyedepo as he takes the Youth Alive Fellowship to the next levels of glory,” YAF posted.

Well I don’t wanna judge anybody so that I shall not be judged because only God knows what human beings do not.
Anyway,am not surprised,everyone knows that church is a business,but so many people don’t want to admit it.can anybody tell me major project or things that C.A.N has done in this country,at least to support the government?all they know is the collection of money and our people refused to wise up
I don’t see it as that, you need people committed to advancing the vision of the church and if his son does that, then glory be to God.

The church have turned to enterprises and empires for men of God who claim heaven is the goal but they keep growing their wealth on earth at the expense of unsuspecting religious gullible masses.

What do you people expect? Keep going to churches so that you keep enriching and empowering your fellow pastors and their generational families. They are men of God after all! So, they need this from you.
