General Overseer of Living Faith Church (aka Winners Chapel), David Oyedepo, has said that God swore to make him rich after he surrendered his car for the gospel many years ago.
Oyedepo told his congregation at the church’s Canaanland headquarters, Ota, Ogun State in a recent sermon, that at the time he gave out his car he never had the thought of becoming rich.
The preacher also said that since that time the church has grown into figuratively buying buses like loaves of bread.
“I gave my car to God not to be rich but to spread the gospel and God swore to make me rich…now in one day we bought 87 buses at once, another day we bought 100 buses at once…We now buy buses like loaves of bread… Many of you will soon be building houses like loaves of bread,” Oyedepo said.
The cleric charged Christians to let God guide and lead them instead of depending on their certificates or profession.
“There are too many common people in the world; you need to come out of them and be distinguished by His leading,” he said.
Oyedepo once told his congregation not to relent in giving tithes as it had brought about his prosperity.
“You can’t go up except by tithing. From 1982 till date, my tithe hasn’t failed once; now I cart it to God in trailer loads,” he had said.
