The Founder of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has refuted claims that his aircraft was purchased using offerings from church members.
In a trending video, Oyedepo stated that the acquisition of the aircraft was purely an act of divine provision and not the result of financial planning, fundraising, or personal ambition.
“He bought the first aircraft without any prayer, without any idea that the aircraft was coming. He said it, he delivered it, nobody had any pressure on his life. There was no reminder on the offering. The offering didn’t buy it oo! God bought it. There was no person contacted under heaven. No! God said it and I believe it and that settles it,” he said.
The cleric emphasised that the purchase was not driven by personal ambition but was a fullfillment of God’s plan.
“It wasn’t an ambition, it was an unveiled divine agenda. If God asked me ‘David, when do you want that aircraft to be bought?’ I would have said ‘God, take it easy, take it easy, we are not near ready. Aircraft? Okay, let me find out first how much they sell it.’ He didn’t give us the room to find out. Not the aircraft that would go from here to Ilorin or Ogbomosho,” Oyedepo added.
In 2024, Oyedepo announced that the Federal Government had approved the construction of an airstrip for Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.
“I won’t need to fly a helicopter to the airport. I can leave from here to wherever I am going. Members with their planes will have where to land and park,” he said.
