Bishop David Oyedepo Cautions Gospel Artistes
By Church News
The founder and general overseer of the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, spoke to his members via a video shared on the church’s YouTube page which he titled “A Caution To Gospel Singers”.
According to him, “Just a word of instruction to all of our songwriters and those music ministries among us, anything about Jesus, endeavour to put the name of Jesus in those songs.
“The enemy is not angry about melody, the enemy is angry about the name. And as I began to watch I saw the name of Jesus being replaced with only melody and that’s not supposed to be so.
“You know this is a Church family, all we are doing is to keep things in place to keep Experiencing God’s grace from time to time,” he added.
Revelations are divinely inspired messages of things that will happen in the lives of believers, and God conveys such messages to his people through his anointed servants, and they deliver them as they are led by the spirit.
Bishop David Oyedepo is one of the wealthiest preachers in Nigeria with a net worth of over US$150 million.
The church owns four private jets and several buildings, including in London and the US. Oyedepo is an author and publisher who has written over 70 titles apart from periodicals.
He is the chairman/publisher of Dominion Publishing House (DPH), a publishing arm of the ministry. DPH has over 4 million prints in circulation to date.
Through Bishop Oyedepo; Covenant University, Faith Academy and Kingdom Heritage Model Schools have been established to equip the youth for global impact. The construction of a third university named Crown University is already underway, located in Calabar, Cross River, Nigeria.
In 1998, Bishop Oyedepo was instructed by God to build a new base for the Commission to accommodate the increasing number of worshippers.
This resulted in Oyedepo’s church’s acquisition of the initial 530-acre (2.1 km2) facility, known as Canaanland, which serves as the headquarters. It is the home of the 50,000-seat capacity auditorium, the ‘Faith Tabernacle’, which is reputed to be the largest church auditorium in the world as recorded by the Guinness Book of Records in December 2005.
The construction was completed within 12 months and the building was built debt free. This 50,000-seat edifice was dedicated on September 18, 1999, under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
