VIDEO: Oyedepo recounts sharing public toilet with wife, church

Renowned Nigerian cleric and the founder of Living Faith Church international, Bishop David Oyedepo, has shared a personal story about the early days of his ministry, encouraging his congregation to be content with their current circumstances and trust in God’s plan.

Speaking during a recent church program, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel) revealed that there was a time when he and his wife lived in the office building of the church and had to share a single toilet with other church members.

Reflecting on those humble beginnings, Bishop Oyedepo explained how he would wake up as early as 5 a.m. just to have his bath before the other church members arrived.

He described how, as the day broke, members of the church would also need to use the same toilet, so he had to plan his morning routine carefully to avoid the rush.

Despite the challenges, the cleric emphasized the importance of being joyful and content with whatever one has at any given time. He used his experience as a lesson in humility and gratitude, encouraging his congregation to remain steadfast, no matter how difficult their present situation may seem.

“Be happy with what you have,” Bishop Oyedepo urged. “The journey of life is a process, and God will always elevate those who are faithful and patient.”
