Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith WorldWide has disclosed how he got his plane, which has sparked a lot of controversies recently.
While preaching at one of the Sunday services, Oyedepo stated that he purchased his aircraft with his own money, not from the church’s account, as the public believes.
The wealthiest pastor in Africa claimed he had made a vow to God not to utilize church funds for personal gain.
The well-known gospel preacher also admitted that he had given certain people scholarships.
He said;
“All the place I used to trek bearing this gospel and enjoying the insults of people, I fly my helicopter across the place today.
“In our time, you will be very mad to think that a Pastor will fly a helicopter. You must be mad, you mustn’t say so.
“I bought it with my money ooo, not your Church money.
“I can go to my village 20 times if I want. I have a vow with Jesus, His money will never miss its road to my pocket.
“The Church never paid a dime in our children going to school, but rather we are giving people scholarships on our own.
“Just do what He says, you are too busy trying to do these things yourself, it won’t work. Whatever He tells you to do, do it!”
