Winning Faith – Bishop David Oyedepo

According to Bishop Oyedepo, “Winning faith is the faith that wins. Faith is a spiritual explosive that devastates the power of the enemy because it is by faith we can quench all the fiery darts of the enemy.

He added that to have a winning faith one must have the following character: “be free from offences, offences make you lose your faith.”

The founder of Winners Chapel continued, “We live in a world full of offences. Offences corrupt faith and traps destiny, offences leads to spiritual insensitivity.”

The causes of offences were mentioned in this sermon, please listen and be blessed.
