Bishop David Oyedepo

Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo (born September 27, 1954, age 71 as of 2026) is a prominent Nigerian preacher, Christian author, architect, and founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (also known as Winners’ Chapel International). He serves as the presiding bishop and senior pastor of Faith Tabernacle in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria—a 50,000-seat auditorium reputed as one of the largest church buildings in the world.

Early Life and Calling

Born in Osogbo, Osun State, but native to Omu-Aran, Kwara State, Oyedepo was raised in a religiously mixed family—his father a Muslim healer and his mother a member of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church. He became born again in 1969 at age 15. He studied architecture and briefly worked in the Federal Ministry of Housing.

In May 1981, he received an 18-hour visionary mandate from God: “The hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith, and I am sending you to undertake this task.” This led to the founding of the ministry in 1981, initially as Liberation Faith Hour Ministries.

Ministry Milestones

• 1983: Ordained as pastor (along with his wife, Faith Oyedepo) by Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
• 1988: Ordained as bishop by Archbishop Benson Idahosa.
• The church started in Kaduna, moved to Lagos in 1989, and established its headquarters in Canaanland, Ota, in 1998–1999.
• Today, Winners’ Chapel operates over 21,000 churches in Nigeria and thousands worldwide across six continents, with millions of members.

Oyedepo emphasizes the “Word of Faith” theology, focusing on prosperity, faith, liberation from oppression, and kingdom advancement through prayer, soul-winning, and obedience.

Family and Legacy

Married to Faith Oyedepo since 1982, they have four children: David Oyedepo Jr. (resident pastor at Faith Tabernacle), Isaac Oyedepo, Love, and Joy. Two sons are ordained pastors.

Other Ventures

• Education: Founder and Chancellor of Covenant University (Ota), Landmark University (Omu-Aran), and others.
• Publishing: Chairman of Dominion Publishing House, author of over 70 books on faith, prayer, success, and prosperity.
• Media: Oversees David Oyedepo Ministries International (DOMI), including streaming platforms and radio.

Recent Highlights (2026)

During the 2025/2026 Crossover Night Service, Bishop Oyedepo declared 2026 as a year of “Open Doors” (based on Revelation 3:7-8), prophesying supernatural breakthroughs, no tears, divine preservation through love for God, and no breakdowns or mourning for believers. The church’s annual 21-day prayer and fasting (January 5–25, 2026) aligns with this theme.

He has reiterated that politics is not his calling, even if offered vast sums.

Official channels: Church website at faithtabernacle.org.ng; YouTube (@lfcww for services); messages widely shared on platforms like DOMI streams.

Bishop Oyedepo is regarded as a pioneer of the charismatic movement in Africa, known for teachings on faith that empower believers to experience supernatural results.
