‘It Was God Who Told Me to Buy Aircraft’ — Bishop Oyedepo Says, Debunks Claims of “Co-Founder” of Winners’ Chapel
By: Israel Adeleke
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, has set the record straight by defending his ministry’s practices and origins, asserting that its founding and key decisions, including the acquisition of his private aircraft, were guided by direct divine instructions from God.
OTN News further reports that Bishop Oyedepo, who disclosed this while first addressing the hidden secrets behind the founder of the ministry, in a video clip circulating on social media, dismissed any claims of a “co-founder” of the ministry, stating, “This ministry has no co-founder.
According to him, "the first one to hear the mission is this young lady [pointing to his wife],” referring to his wife.
He said that all the founding principles and “12 pillars” of the commission were given to him directly by God, not by men.
Furthermore, Oyedepo who addressed the often-criticised topic of his private jets, asserted, “it was not a discussion. It was God who told me it’s time to get the aircraft."
Oyedepo also touched on the church’s employment policies, emphasising that the ministry is not run in a loose or informal manner.
He stated that all staff, regardless of their claims of a divine calling, must go through a formal process. “You write an application, you do an interview, you get an employment letter, you respond,” he said.
