The Founder of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has dismissed speculations that his aircraft was purchased using church members’ offerings.

He spoke while delivering a sermon in a trending video.

PUNCH Online reports that while the video was said to have been recorded in 2024, it is currently trending again on social media.

In the video, Oyedepo clarified that the acquisition of the aircraft was purely an act of divine provision, and not the result of financial planning, fundraising, or personal ambition.

According to him, the purchase came as a fulfillment of God’s plan, and no pressure was placed on church members to contribute towards it.

Oyedepo said, “He bought the first aircraft without any prayer, without any idea that the aircraft was coming. He said it, he delivered it, nobody had any pressure on his life. There was no reminder on the offering.

“The offering didn’t buy it oo! God bought it. There was no person contacted under heaven. No! God said it and I believe it and that settles it.”

The cleric further asserted that the aircraft was not a product of personal ambition but a divinely orchestrated event saying, “It wasn’t an ambition, it was a unveiled divine agenda. If God asked me ‘David, when do you want that aircraft to be bought?’ I would have said ‘God, take it easy, take it easy, we are not near ready. Aircraft?

“Okay, let me find out first how much they sell it.’ He didn’t give us the room to find out. Not the aircraft that would go from here to Ilorin or Ogbomosho.”

Recall that in 2024 Oyedepo announced that the Federal Government approved the construction of an airstrip for Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.

He added that the development will enable him to travel directly from the church premises, eliminating the need to fly to the airport first.

“I won’t need to fly a helicopter to the airport. I can leave from here to wherever I am going. Members with their planes will have where to land and park,” the bishop had said.
