Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, has thrown his weight behind Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church International aka Winners’ Chapel on the recent sack of 40 ministers from his worship centre.

A couple of days ago, the internet was agog after a certain Pastor Peter Godwin claimed that he along with 40 other pastors were relieved of their duties for not generating enough income.

Addressing the issue while speaking to his congregation, Oyedepo confirmed that the pastors were dismissed for ‘unfruitful, blatant failures.’

Fatoyinbo took to his Instagram to back Oyedepo’s stance, stating that there is no room for laziness and unfruitfulness.

He wrote, “No room for laziness and unfruitfulness. Question: If you were fired in the bank for not meeting up with your deliverables, will you go on social media?”

Fatoyinbo went on to quote a parable from the Bible, “He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

“Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

“And if it bears fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. Luke 13: 6 – 9.”
