WINNERS CHAPEL DISPUTE: ANOTHER BLACK DAY FOR OYEDEPO AS ADJEMAN WALKS TALL

His Lordship, Justice Kofi Akwaa, in setting aside the suit noted that the six persons: Vera Kpeto, Della Sowah, Christopher, Martei Markei, Samuel Ofori and Theodore Sowah, joined as plaintiffs in the case, ‘ are neither members of the Living Faith World Outreach Center and World Mission Agency, nor members of the Board of Governors of the two companies to cloth them with the authority to prosecute this action', describing them as ‘mere busy-bodies meddling in matters that they do not have the powers to interfere in'. He, therefore, sustained the motion that the aforementioned plaintiffs cannot sustain the motion and accordingly dismissed the suit.

With this victory, Winners' Chapel Ghana, maintains absolute authority over the eight branches of the ministry, namely: Tema, Ho, Takoradi, North Gold Coast, Sunayani, Tamali, Kosorivua and Akosombo, including the Headquarters, in the precinct of Kwame Nkrumah Circle. Bishop George Adjemann, overwhelmed by the dismissal of the suit expressed gratitude to God for confirming His Word, describing it as a mantle from the Most High to continue with the good works that he has started, through Christ, who is the source of his strength. The confident Man of God counseled his critics to be in the spirit and acknowledge the fact that the judgment of God are adverse to the thinking of the flesh as it is written, ‘the things of God are foolishness unto man'.

Efforts by MST to get the reaction of Bishop Oyedepo and his team for comments proved abortive as the voice on the end repeatedly said that the Bishop was not available and no one in absence was competent to speak on the matter. Observers yearning for the right attitude of the kingdom, have continued to condemn Bishop Oyedepo for resorting to court action contrary to the scriptures stand on disputes. These strongly believe that no matter the facts on the ground, if Bishop Oyedepo feels dissatisfied or wronged, he should take it and suffer himself unto it as the scriptures say and stay away from the court which the saints view as unjust habitation to seek redress.

Following the disagreement, last year, between Winners' Chapel, Ghana and Winners' Chapel International, which led to a separation, Living Faith World Outreach Center, World Mission Agency and six other personalities, headed to the High Court of Justice with a 26 point objection to the actions of Winners' Chapel, Ghana. With the judgment, which seems to justify the separation, the wrangling, which jolted the Christendom, may have come an end. The Ghana Chapel according to statistics, have not lost its committed members. The upsurge has prompted the Presiding Bishop to announce two services with effect from next month.
