How Apostle Femi Lazarus Is Selling Gift of Spirit God Gave Him for Free – Timi Dakolo
Timi Dakolo criticized Apostle Femi Lazarus for condemning gospel artistes who charge for ministrations while running a paid ministry school.
Timi Dakolo criticized Apostle Femi Lazarus for condemning gospel artistes who charge for ministrations while running a paid ministry school.
The debate has divided opinions, with some supporting Dakolo and others arguing that schools and performances are not the same.
Gospel singer Timi Dakolo has called out Apostle Femi Lazarus for allegedly profiting from spiritual gifts, despite criticizing gospel artistes for charging high fees for church ministrations.
VerseNews gathered that the controversy began when Apostle Lazarus shared a memo revealing an unnamed singer demanding $10,000, accommodation, flights, and food for a church performance. He argued that such artistes were no longer ministers but mere performers.
Dakolo, a former church chorister, responded by pointing out that Lazarus runs a ministry school that charges $150 per student. He questioned why the school isn’t free if it is truly for God’s glory.

Earlier, Dakolo had also criticized pastors for undervaluing Nigerian gospel singers while paying foreign artistes significantly more. He argued that singing is a skill that takes years to develop and should be properly compensated.
The debate has split Christian Twitter—some support Dakolo’s stance, while others argue that a school requires staff and operational costs, unlike a singer’s one-time performance. Some have also asked if Dakolo would run a music school for free.
