It is with great palpitation that l read the excepts in Saturday Sun of the interview granted by Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly to The News purportedly “exposing the goings-on in churches.” He made particular mention of my spiritual father, Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Pastor William Kumuyi.
l have no problem with criticism if it is based on solid ground. But if it is based on issues one cannot understand, where he said God mandated him and you say how could God have done so? Does God need another man’s permission to send another?

Granted, his controversial outbursts help sell the papers, but at whose expense? Real men don’t make noise. There is strength in meekness. Is it at the expense of the people for whom Jesus died? Or is it at the expense of the weak, who ought to have been made strong? Considering the way he was going, l feared that one day, it shall be the turn of my pastor. Bakare has cornfired my fear and filled me with righteous indignation.
Mr Femi Adesina, my Executive Director, publications, in his column once chronicled the prophecies of Bakare, which never came to pass. l thought to myself then ah! Editor, isn’t that rather too harsh, for a man of God? But l should have known better that he (Adesina) knew the man better.

Let the people know that:
Shiloh in the Winners family (as Living Faith members are referred to) is the gathering of God’s people. A commandment given to God’s servant, Bishop David Oyedepo, for God to subdue the land for their sake.
Therefore, we don’t need any Bakare to dignify Shiloh or give it a mention for us. Do we need the praise or approval of men to serve our God? Not the least. Acts 4:19. We are people of conviction (all winning winners), whose zeal for the mighty hand of God upon His servant, our spiritual father makes us drunk with gladness and continuous joy in the Holy Ghost, which transports us to levels of untouchability.

Who needs teachers like Bakare to teach us what to believe and what not to believe? l‘ve never met my spiritual father face to face for once. I said to myself, l don’t have to meet him to have my miracles, because l don’t want to begin to take for granted what l cherish. My family and l sit at the Love entrance almost in every meeting and are ministered to with signs and wonders following over the years; and it has been from one glory to another glory. If at this age l do not know what the scripture says about a thing or two and l do not know what l want, then am a fool at forty. When my husband and l joined the winners fold about a decade and half ago, we took time to put the man of God on our own scale, examining his ministry, his lifestyle and sermons. He came off having a sure foundation! Living the word, and his spiritual children? A replication of the mighty hand of God upon his servant.

My family and l are a living wonder, courtesy of the mighty workings of God via the anointing from his servant, my Bishop. Do l need another teacher to teach me nonsense? Nope! After Shiloh, l immediately connect with the Holy Ghost Congress or the Retreat at Deeper Life Camp, if they’re televised, to further drink from the wisdom of these great Generals in God’s army and builders, not scatterers of God’s people, to be further impacted by them. Such is the way of the Christian walk and not war mongering.

Mystery of the anointing oil:
The word “mystery” is self explanatory. It connotes something that is difficult to explain or understand. Something strange or interesting. The mystery of the anointing oil has produced terrific, and mind-blowing testimonies in the Winners fold.
According to God’s servant, the anointing is not for ritual purposes, neither is it a magic wand. It is not a symbol, and its application is not for religious rite. It is not a mere chemical product, nor is it just oil. It is the Spirit of God, mysteriously, again mysteriously packaged in a bottle and designed to communicate the power of God bodily.

The anointing oil, not the ordinary bottle of oil in a believer’s hand is the power of God, in the person of the Holy Ghost. How’s that? When that ordinary bottle of oil in a believer’s hand, which you took to a church meeting or you prayed upon, in your secrecy declaring your desired expectation is used by faith, the power of God through that earnest prayer is released via the anointing oil. It is the power of God in a tangible form, placed in the hand of man, to make an open show of the devil. It is what it takes to get out of every grave. It is God’s wisdom for man’s rescue; the all-purpose drug for all ailments of life.
Signs & Wonders Today, this is the book of contention. This is the heretic teaching, this is the occultic book in reference. The mystery of the anointing oil is not new among the Pentecostal body. It is Biblical. It has its roots in the Old Testament, and also has a New Testament confirmation through the ministry of Jesus. It represents the might of God in a tangible form. According to Exodus 30:23-31, God gave this commandment to Moses in verse 31: “And thou shall speak unto the children of Israel, saying, this shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.”

It was a standing instruction from God, an irrevocable order! Again, giving credence to this same command from God to Moses, Jesus in Mark 6:7, 12-13 called His disciples two by two and gave them power over unclean spirits… And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. The anointing of the sick here, what was it? The transference of the power of God through a tangible object such as a bottle of oil used by faith to bring about healing.
