Osun Residents Receive Food Support From Winners Chapel ( Read more )



On July 19, Sunday, hundreds of Osun state residents trooped to the Winners Chapel in Osogbo to partake of the food aid sent by the Presiding Bishop of the church, Bishop David Oyedepo.
Earlier this week, the state pastor of the Living Faith Church, Olumuyiwa Emmanuel, announced during his service that the truck loaded with food donation would arrive for distribution. He directed church members to invite their friends and neighbours, irrespective of their religious affiliations.
Pastor Emmanuel noted that the food stuffs were sent to assist workers and others to cope with the hardship caused by non-payment of salaries.
“The church has been blessed to be a blessing to others. Irrespective of their religious affiliations, we are blessed to affect the lives of others positively. That is the reason why the church has been giving to the less privileged ones. We have been distributing food items to members and non members. The church also distributed food stuffs last month.
“God does not bless people so that they can be a container, he blesses people so that they can bless others and all of us must be doing that.
“Rather than acquisition of wealth, we should cultivate the habit of giving to those around us, and in return we would receive more blessings from God,” he said.
The Punch reports that after the second service Pastor Emmanuel announced that anyone interested in being a partaker of the largesse should wait. Informing people about free medical treatment for all manner of ailments and diseases next Sunday, he called on church members to invite anyone they knew that needed medical attention to come and benefit from the free services.
Few minutes after the announcement, there was a long queue of people who were waiting patiently for the distribution of the food. They were given rice, packets of tomato paste and vegetable oil.
Osun residents who received donation expressed gratitude to the church for its help. Some of them noted that the nation would be a better place if religious and corporate organisations, individuals started considering the less privileged ones.
