David
Oyedepo, Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners Chapel,
is unarguably the reigning Apostle of Faith and Prosperity. Bishop Oyedepo,
since the inception of Living Faith Church in 1983, has displayed unusual
exploits of faith unrivaled since the Pentecostal Revival associated with
Azusa Street Revival of 1914.
David
Oyedepo is married to Faith Oyedepo, herself a product of faith. As a spinster,
she was a prayer leader in her local church and from what one of her mentors,
Pastor Mike Oye, told us, Faith would lead other young girls to extra prayers
in the church after services have closed in the Methodist Church. Therefore,
the explosive faith associated with the Oyedepo’s is not accidental; it is
results of seed sown in times past.
Bishop
David Oyedepo, born in September 1954, a trained architect, said that God
called him in May 1981 through eighteen hour vision where God told him
that “but from the beginning it was not so, and now the hour has come
to liberate the world through the preaching of the word of faith, and I am
sending you to undertake this task”
