Pastor Tunde Bakare is the founder of the Latter Rain Assembly,and this pastor explained what led to a disagreement between him and the General Overseer of Winner’s Chapel, Pastor David Oyedepo, few years ago
In a recently published interview he had with Punch Newspaper,Bakare when asked his take on anointing oil, mainly used by Christians for prayer purposes, responded: “People like to create their own Tunde Bakare. I love God, I love people, I love the godly and the ungodly and I try within my God-given ability to teach the truth.
However he further stated that;
“The reason I fought with my friend, Bishop David Oyedepo, and tore his book, I remember when we sorted this issue out in London, we came out of a 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 book. That is fine, you wrote it, I bought it, so it was my book I tore'.
He said,he saw errors in the book: why would Bishop Oyedepo write that 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 and I would wonder how a sick church can bring healing to a dying world”.
He described the Nigerian churches as being a theatre where one man performs and the others are just mere spectators, he said “If you quoted me correctly, I said the difference between the cinema and the church in Nigeria is that for the cinema you pay a gate fee before you enter, but in the church, they let you come in before they take from you".
He also, explained that his church has not established a university because God has not called him to do that;
“I do not judge those who are doing it, because they are contributing their quota to the system and they are helping the society in the area of infrastructure.
“But I would have a question mark on the whole thing if part of what is going in there are the offerings of the people and their pastors’ children and members’ children cannot attend that university, that's a big problem for me"
Almost all the top universities in the world started from Christian organisations. He said.
“My daughter graduated from Emory University in Georgia, United States, which is owned by the Methodist Church.
As a matter of fact, Oxford and Cambridge were established by churches.
“If their real intention is to be a mission school to train,educate and equip leaders in godliness and the path of light, I commend their efforts. But if it is money-making and profit-driven, then I don’t know what to say”.
Answering the questions on why his ministry, Latter Rain hasn't held any major convention like other big churches in Nigeria, General Buhari Muhammadu's running mate in the presidential election of 2011 noted that: "it's not a wrong thing to hold conventions like Shiloh, Holy Ghost Congress, IPPC and the likes,
“I have been invited to the congress about three times but I just didn’t have the time to go. Up till the seventh year of the Latter Rain Assembly, we had what we called Annual Believers’ Convention, but I stopped it after then. Look at the population of people in church today and we have negligible righteousness. So, something is wrong.
“I am not condemning what people are doing. If they are called to do what they are doing, God would reward them. But if it is just a ploy to continue to control brainwash and manage people, one the final day, they would say to them ‘to your tent oh Israel'”.
