Cars

Literally, hundreds of cars are always available to the presiding bishop of the Winner’s Chapel. This is primarily caused by churchgoers’ propensity to gift cars to the institution in an unidentified manner. Bishop Oyedepo’s private fleet is expanded by these cars. It is said that 700 vehicles were donated to the church in a sizable charitable event in 2013.

Exotic and pricey Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Toyota models were among the given automobiles. Usually, following such occasions, David Oyedepo’s garages are restocked. The church received hundreds more SUVs in 2014 as part of another significant contribution. Some vehicles, specifically Toyota Land Cruiser Prado models, were added to the presiding bishop’s private fleet.

House

Bishop Oyedepo resides in Canaanland, the church’s global headquarters. There are too many of his and the church’s buildings to count throughout Nigeria, London, Africa, and the USA.

Ministry

With the influence of his teacher, Betty Lasher, who showed interest in him throughout high school, Oyedepo was “born again” in 1969. He claims that in May 1981, God gave him a mandate through an 18-hour vision to free the globe from all demonic oppression by preaching the word of Faith. This original vision inspired the establishment of the Liberation Faith Hour Ministries, which later became the Living Faith Church World Wide (LFCWW) in 1981. Oyedepo falls under the umbrella of what is referred to as the Word of Faith Movement as a result of his teachings.
