How We Built Covenant University In 7 Months - Bishop David Oyedepo by ChristRep(op): 10:32am On Jan 04, 2025

Let me share this testimony with you.

When we got the license to operate Covenant University, everybody was excited. Was I? I'm not sure. Because I asked the Lord, "Lord, tell me if it's not your university, I'm not interested." I'm not going to school anymore. And I heard Him say, "It is I."

"It is I" meant a lot. He said that February 12, 2002. We started clearing the ground for the university March 6. By the hand of God, October 21, 1,500 students resumed. On campus. Two halls of residence. One for male, one for female. All the buildings were ready. There was no lecture outside the facility. The library, everything, was in place in seven months. How many months? And there were no bungalows. They were not. Let's do something first and do something later. Within seven months. Within seven months, He did everything by His hand. "It is I."

Now wait a minute. The day we dedicated, He said to me, "Now hand it over to me. Now come and see the hand of God." I said, "How do I hand it over to you?" He said, "Lay down flat on this floor before me". So I laid flat before Him, before all the students, their parents, and, you know, church leaders and everybody. I was the maddest person there. I laid down before Him, and He took it over. Now, in 15 years, watch. Covenant University is today listed among the elite group of universities, which is only 1,002 in the world.

Out of 29,000 universities in the world, Covenant has jumped to the 1,000 realm. The hand of God in 15 years. Now, listen, I'm talking about Oxford. I'm talking about Harvard. I'm talking about Yale. I'm talking about that group of elite universities in 15 years. Watch it. The hand of God that engenders speed is coming on your life.

I don’t think heaven is made for people like the present day pastors and GOs.

If there is justice and heaven is above, they cannot live a life of opulence here on earth and continue in heaven above it is impossible.

They better live their best life here on earth and end up somewhere else to balance the equation.

It hurts when Bishop does everything not to acknowledge members contribution. Even if it is to say God used members as part of ways to actualize it, he doesn't say it. I personally know a poor family who were attending the winners church then. They gave money as "seed" towards the University and on weekends, the man and wife joined many others to do kpon-kpon i.e manual labour at the building site of the University as part of their contribution as encouraged by the church.

He scammed gullible people. And those gullible people will never be able to send their children there.

Moreso, before you mention me, tell me if it is in the objective of the church, by the bible, to engage in commerce or entangle oneself with the things of the world. How does it concern a church to build a university, for Gods sake? They will even build airlines and claim it was God.

These people have lied so much and for so long that they've started believing their lies. Believing in your lies is not the problem. But the fact that normal humans listen to these tales and believe them is quite strange to me.

You asked the lord and the lord talked to you loud and clear "It is I". Imagine these pulpit bandits still doing this in 2025

So same god was not involved in the exorbitant schools fee arrangement, ignoring those poor members paying tithes and offering for decades but cannot afford the school fees....hear him brag with the word "Elite" I spit on religious scammers. I am beginning to believe more of the Anunnakis theories and their earthly manipulations!!!!

Religion is indeed a control tool...

A so-called Pastor or Man-of-God always talking and boasting about carnal things which can equally be achieved by unbelievers and even people of the underworld.
Jesus says Christians should be more concerned about fruits and gifts of the Spirit, which enables one to witness for Him!
