Interesting Facts About Bishop David Oyedepo As He Clock 63 by Okinqz01(m): 9:39am On Sep 27, 2017
The facts below prove that the founder
and the presiding Bishop of Living Faith
Church could be far more interesting
than you have possibly imagined.

1. Family
In 1982 he married Florence Abiola Akano (now known as Faith). They have four children together: David Jr, Isaac, Love and Joys. David Jr and Isaac Oyedepo were ordained as Pastors in May 2007 by Kenneth Copeland. David Jr pastors the London Branch of the Church with his wife, Kemi, while Isaac Oyedepo is the present Resident Pastor
of Winners' Chapel International, South
Africa.

2. Records
His church is Living Faith Church World Wide,also known as Winners' Chapel, in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. Oyedepo has a 50,000 seat church auditorium, and it is reported to be the largest church auditorium in the world by the Guinness Book of Records. The Winners' Chapel network of churches is located in over 300 cities and towns, in all the states of Nigeria, as well as, in over 63 cities in 32 African nations, Dubai, the United
Kingdom and the United States.

3. Wealth
In 2011, Forbes named him the richest
pastor in Nigeria. And nobody has been able beat his records yet. Oyedepo is the
wealthiest preacher in Nigeria with a net worth of over USD150 million. The church owns four private jets and several buildings around the world, including real estate in London, UK, and in the United States.

4. Scholarships
David and his organization founded over 100 educational institutions for primary,
secondary and tertiary stages of formal
Education. Covenant University was open ed to students on October 21, 2002, and was adjudged to be the best private university in Nigeria as of 2005. On March 21, 2011,Landmark University,Omuaran Kwara State (another educational institution founded by the Ministry) officially opened for the first students.

5. Christianity comes First
Rumours say that once David refused to help his half-sister, who was poor, only because she is notChristian. Alhaja Saratu Bello is a Muslim, she lives in poverty in Lagos.

6.“Exorcism”
During a “deliverance” service at Otta,Ogun State, in 2011, the bishop and the General Overseer of Winners’ Chapel slapped a girl onthe face with considerable force. Oyedepo suggested to his kneeling victim that she was involved in witchcraft. She denied this, saying instead she was “a witch for Jesus”. The cleric shouted that Jesus has no witches, but when she insisted, the furious Oyedepo called her “a foul
devil”, slapped her violently across the
face, and shouted: “You can go and burn in hell.”

7. He is not banned from UK
In the end of summer 2014 there were
rumors that the UK Home Office has barred the multi-millionaire Nigerian preacher from entering the United Kingdom. But David Oyedepo claimed that thisinformation was false: “It’s nothing but a blatant lie and falsehood,” he stated on August 26, 2014,
through his spokesperson.

Happy birthday daddy Oyedepo
