the event which was monitored online by Church Times was graced by hundreds of Winners Chapel members and a host of church leaders..
Oyedepo who took time to pray for the retiring Bishop and his wife said to them before he prayed that they should not be going around with a mentality thar they have retired.
He said they should rather keep firing and doing what God has called them to do.
Oyedepo said, ‘ Put on strength. Put on your beautiful garment. Get ready.’
Citing his own example, he said, ‘Somebody asked me, now you’re 70 what are you still looking for. I said I am in the centre of the race and I will run it till I draw my last breath.’
Facing Bishop Aremu, he said, ‘ Put on strength. Put on your beautiful garment. God has greater things for you in the name of Jesus’
Oyedepo shared testimonies of how God has enabled the Winners Chapel to grow exponential.
He told Bishop Aremu that when God speaks barriers give way adding, ‘It’s your turn. If you won’t stop hearing from God no devil can keep you on the same spot.’
He then urged Bishop Aremu to stay connected. His words ‘stay connected, consciously so, spiritually so, genuinely so. Don’t bug your head answering questions that are unfounded. No one can quote silence. Beware of strangers.that may come your way and lay them aside. I have done that all my life and it is working .
” Even those who have gone to heaven, my connectivity remains intact and the grace is flowing unabated. Stay connected. stay connected. There is no self made man in the world. So stay connected so as the secure the flow of grace in the name of Jesus
