Oyedepo speaks on buying private jet with church offering

Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, has debunked claims that he purchased his private aircraft using church offerings.

In a recent sermon that has gone viral online, Oyedepo clarified that the church’s aircraft were acquired through divine provision, without any prior planning or fundraising efforts.

He emphasized that God miraculously made the resources available to support the church’s mission.

According to the cleric, the aircraft have played a crucial role in advancing the church’s evangelistic work, enabling the spread of the Gospel across Africa and beyond.

“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 pressure on the offering.

“The offering didn’t buy it oo! God bought it. No! God said it, and I believe it and that settles it.

“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, we travel the whole of Africa with the aircraft,” Oyedepo said.
