"Why I Tore Bishop Oyedepo’s Book" – Pastor Tunde Bakare

Founder of The Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos and Vice Presidential running mate to Gen. Buhari in the last presidential election, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has explained why he tore a book written by Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel. He explained that he decided to tear the book after going through it and finding a line which he believes contradicts his faith and even said he told the Bishop Oyedepo when he met him and accused him of tearing his book that, 'Oh I didn't tear your book, it became mine the day I bought it'. Below is how Top Celebrities Magazine puts it:

“I try within my God given ability to teach the truth. The reason I fought with my friend, Bishop David Oyedepo and tore his book, I remember when we resolved this problem in London. We came out of the plane; he took me aside and said he was angry with me because I tore his book. I said I didn’t tear your book, I tore my own book. That time you wrote it and I bought it, so it was my book I tore.

I saw errors in that book; he said the anointing oil is not a symbol of the Holy Spirit, that it is the life of God in a bottle. How can you write that and I would let it pass? No! If the anointing oil is the Holy Spirit, then Jesus is a lamb walking on four legs. These are metaphors and when you have the real…, you leave the shadow. Besides, it is for the sick in the New Testament. So, you can anoint the entire church if they are sick but I wonder how a sick church can bring healing to a dying world."
