Babatunji Wusu –

• Bishop David Oyedepo clarified that his first aircraft was provided by God, not funded by church offerings.
• He emphasized that there was no prior planning or prayer for the aircraft; it was a divine provision.
• Oyedepo described the acquisition as part of God’s divine agenda, not a personal ambition.

Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Bible Church, has clarified that God, not church offerings, provided his first aircraft. Speaking during a sermon at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, he dismissed rumors suggesting the church’s funds were used for the purchase.

Bishop Oyedepo explained that the acquisition of the aircraft was a miraculous event, with no prior planning or prayer involved. “God bought the first aircraft without any prayer, without any idea that the aircraft was coming,” he said. He emphasized that the aircraft was not a result of church offerings or pressure from the congregation.

Describing it as part of a divine agenda, he added, “It wasn’t an ambition, it was an unveiled divine agenda.” Oyedepo further expressed that if God had asked him when the aircraft should be purchased, he would have responded that they were not yet ready for such a significant step. He highlighted that the aircraft was intended to serve their global travels, not just short trips within Nigeria.
