Founder of the Living Faith Church popularly called Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has said that he bought his private helicopter with his own money and not that of the church.

The 66-year-old renowned clergyman reportedly acquired his helicopter in 2019.

But in a sermon at Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State on Sunday, Oyedepo disclosed that the chopper was bought with his own money, according to PM News.

He said, “I was in a place the other time, almost every vibrant Ministry went through our Bible School, almost everyone. One of them said, he was in Primary School in Kaduna when they started bringing him to Church. Fire!

“God never lies. If you are interested, He wants to make a giant of you; if you are not interested, nobody can be interested in your behalf. It’s just you.

“All the place I used to trek bearing this gospel and enjoying the insults of people, I fly my helicopter across the place today,” he said.

Oyedepo added, “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 into my pocket,” he said, as reported by Church Gist.

The cleric also stated, “This 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!

“My prayer is that the giant in you will not go to the grave with you. The things loaded with you to bless your world, your generation, will not go to the grave with you.”
