The general overseer of the Living
Faith Church, aka, Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has disclosed that he
met his wife, Faith at a motor park. He said this happened while she was a
student of the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU), and he
a student of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.
She could have snubbed him, being a
university student, but she responded. Many times Oyedepo's friends complained
that he was carrying Christianity too zealously as if he was the only
Christian. At this point Faith became overzealous too. Furthermore,
Oyedepo took Faith to church in 1976 and made her sign an agreement to marry
and follow him whether he became blind, lame or handicapped. And she signed.
Also before Oyedepo married her, he told her how God had sent him to
liberate the world (while he was still hopping between jobs) and went on to
resign from his job.
His elder brother lambasted him, but
Faith was said to have stuck to him. David was led in the spirit of God, and he
told Faith how God had shown him the key to prosperity. She quickly joined
her faith with his and believed. He also told her how their
50,000-capacity tent would be built and they would be preaching the gospel
of God inside private jets. Faith had no option than to believe her dreamer
lover.
God had blessed Him to some extent
that he could afford a luxurious hotel room on his wedding eve, but
instead he slept in his rickety Volkswagen Beetle. Yet Faith married
him. Sometime during a moment of insane faith, he ordered a mad man to be put
in his car alone with her while she was pregnant; she remained calm. When
Faith had her first baby and she discovered there was neither food
nor money at home, Oyedepo refused to borrow or take rom church's money.
Surprisingly, they were drinking/eating “CERELAC Baby food’ for three
days together. One day Faith came to church and saw him so excited with
few members in the church while waiting for service to start. He explained to
her that service was actually over. Faith was said to have laughed and praised
her God. Suddenly Oyedepo announced a new Bible school and whereas Faith knew
there was no facility she immediately asked him and he replied “Is it your
school?” And She kept quiet. Read more from Beth News paper
