Die poor, they’ll blame you – Adeboye reacts to Oyedepo’s Rolls Royce gift [VIDEO]

The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has said clergymen and Christians would be blamed if they die poor.

Pastor Adeboye was reacting to the backlash that followed the gift of a Rolls Royce to Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church during his 70th birthday.

During Oyedepo’s birthday celebration at Living Faith headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, the Bishop was gifted a Rolls Royce and N1 billion.

The gesture has attracted criticism from a cross section of Nigerians.

However, Pastor Adeboye said it’s better to die rich than poor.

Addressing his members in a video, Pastor Adeboye said: “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.”
