Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, has stated that he owns a fleet of private jets because he has been blessed by God.
During one of his sermons, he mentioned that his church changes planes like bicycles because of the blessings of God.
The Bishop also revealed that when God told him that he was going to fly, he and his church did not pursue it with their own efforts.
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.”
On the Ark Project, Oyedepo said the church had not announced any offering in Canaanland or branches of the church.
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.”
On tithes, the Bishop said people who pay their tithes don’t lack, stressing that tithe payment is biblical.
He said ”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.”
