Founder of Living Faith Church David Oyedepo has described himself as a “dangerously wealthy man.”
The overseer of the Winners’ Chapel as is church is popularly called, said this during the opening session of Shiloh 2018, an annual programme of the church.
Oyedepo was reacting to speculations that he receives money from government officials.
“I don’t share any booty from any government. I have a clear conscience. I am dangerously wealthy. I am rich, whatever I want, comes. That’s what they call wealth,” he said.
Oyedepo warned those he called ‘political gladiators’ to understand that authority is now domiciled in the church, saying, “If the church says you are going nowhere, there is nothing you can do.”
The clergyman declared that the authority that enthroned the church was from heaven and not man-made.
“It is not something that we organise; it is by the hand of God. You can be upset, it won’t change anything,” he added.
Oyedepo recently questioned President Muhammadu Buhari’s slow response to allegations that he (Buhari) was a clone.
Oyedepo has been named as one of the richest clergymen in the world with a net worth of over $150 million.
