Bishop Oyedepo Reveals The Reason Behind His Fleet Of Private Jets
Bishop David Oyedepo, Founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, has revealed the motivation behind his acquisition of a fleet of private jets.
He explained that his possession of these aircraft is a testament to the abundant blessings he believes God has bestowed upon him.
During a recent sermon at his church, Bishop Oyedepo emphasized that they are now changing planes as easily as changing bicycles, all thanks to what he perceives as divine blessings.
Oyedepo shared that when God initially revealed to him that he would be flying, he and his church did not actively pursue it through human effort.
He said: ”God told us we are going to fly; if He left us to plan to fly, it won’t enter our budget in the next ten years. We are just changing planes like we change bicycles because His blessings make us rich and add no sorrow.
“We didn’t confess; we didn’t pray, pray for the plane to do what? They asked me, which kind of plane and I said any kind. I don’t know the name of any because I wasn’t shopping for it.”
Regarding the Ark Project, Oyedepo clarified that the church had not yet made any public announcements regarding offerings in Canaanland or its various branches.
The bishop said: ”The dollar-to-naira rate has tumbled and tumbled, but the blessings have tumbled too. There is no forex input from outside Nigeria on the Ark Project, yet there is no pressure on anybody.”
Bishop Oyedepo emphasized the significance of tithes, stating that those who faithfully pay their tithes do not experience lack.
He underlined the biblical foundation of tithing and pointed out that even historical figures like John D. Rockefeller, the first American billionaire, practiced tithing.
“John D. Rockefeller was a tither, and he ended up the first American billionaire in history. People don’t lack what they give; they only lack what they keep. He was tithe raised, tithe groomed and tithe sustained.” he said
