Truly, whoever leaves behind him the record
of a noble life, has bequeathed to posterity
an enduring source of good, for it serves as
a model for others to form themselves by in
all time to come.
The book “Bishop Oyedepo Wept” reveals
the importance of early positive influence in
proper child upbringing and training. It tries
to unfold the invaluable and immeasurable
positive influence as exemplified by Bishop
Oyedepo's late grandmother, Mrs. Rachael
Adeyiola Odetundu on his life during
childhood and the ripples of that impact on
his adult life.
“I not only saw and felt the difference my
mother made in my life, I am still living out
that difference as a man”
-------------------- Dr Benjamin Carson.
Just as Dr Benjamin Carson, the famous
neurosurgeon from John Hopkins University,
Baltimore Maryland, attributes his mother,
Sonya Carson, for the reason for his success
in life, Bishop David Oyedepo, the president
and founder of Living Faith Church, aka,
Winners Chapel, constantly applaud and
unfold to the body of Christ, the educational
arm of the ministry and in some of his
seminars the invaluable and positive
influence his late Grandmother had on his
life.
The passion and continuous remembrance
that Bishop Oyedepo attributes to his late
grandmother, boils down to the indelible
impact she had on him. What is infused into
the younger and upcoming ones today is
what determines the beauty, glory and color
of their tomorrow. This is very important, as
the home is the lense through which children
get their first look at life; it is the clinic
where conversation, attitudes and impression
are created with respect to sobriety and
reverence. It is the school where lesson of
truth or falsehood, honesty and decency are
learned. It is the mold which ultimately
determines the structure of society.
