Below are some of the secrets that brought this great man of God to the top:
1. CLARITY OF PURPOSE AND DIVINE DIRECTION
The man Bishop David Oyedepo is a strong believer in the fact that not all that glitters is gold, he believes that a man’s worth is ascertained in following a path ordained by God. In his book, ‘Understanding Divine Direction’, he tells several personal life encounters that show the importance of following the plan of God for your life.
He believes and teaches that you don’t need to be a pastor to be successful and make a great impact in life. All you need is to do whatever it takes and find the plan of God for your life and then give it your 110% effort.

2. GREAT SEEKER OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH BOOKS.
Great leaders and successful people are always great readers and addicted knowledge seekers, they keep seeking and asking questions and getting things done in a better way. Before starting the Covenant University, he read all manner of books and biographies of universities, carefully finding out keys that make them succeed or fail, today CU is rated among top ten Universities in Africa.
Charlie “Tremendous” Jones said, “You’re the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read.”
3. UNDERSTANDING THE DETAILS OF HIS UNDERTAKING.
To succeed in life we must endeavor to understand the details of our enterprise and undertaking. If you are called to preach, what are you called to preach? If you are called into business, what kind of business is it?
Listening to Bishop David Oyedepo, one thing that you’ll quickly observe is that this is a man who fully understands the details of what he is doing. He is not doing a guess work or trial and error.
A grasp of the details of our undertaking is important for success in life and business leadership.

4. ABSOLUTE GIVING LIFESTYLE
Bishop Oyedepo does not just teach people to give. He gives.
Recently he said:
“No one can pray his way to prosperity. No one can fast his way to riches. No one can beg his way to abundance; you can only give your way out.”
There is no doubt that giving has a way of inviting the universe to support us in our quest to succeed in life. That is why it is important for us to develop the habit of giving to the church, society and our family.
5. SINCERE LOVE FOR GOD.
One thing that is easy to see in the life of the Bishop is His love for and passion for God. He is one man that doesn’t serve God for the benefits. This, no doubt, has created spiritual channels of favor for him.
6. ADDICTED TO WORK AND CREATIVE IMPROVEMENT ON A DAILY BASIS.
Running 2 Universities, secondary schools, pastoring the largest church in the world and preaching 4 services every Sunday, authoring books and managing a bunch of estates, certainly is not for people who hate work.
But work is not just about work, you have to add creativity and productive thinking to what you are doing.
He humorously said in one of his books,
“Can you imagine a student in school that does nothing but read the Bible, pray and fast, when his textbooks are there to be read? He will be the most fantastic and charismatic failure.” On several occasions the Bishop has told listeners that things only work for workers and believes that there is no reason to be idle.
7. NON ATTENDANCE TO OPPOSITIONS AND CRITICISM.
Bishop Oyedepo is one man that is greatly criticized for his style of ministry and affluent lifestyle, but he never responds to all of this critics.
Successful people don’t spend time answering opposition and critics. They are just too busy succeeding and creating the next success story
