Prosperity Is Not On What You Are Given, But In What You Give - Bishop Oyedepo

 

Bishop David Oyedepo

While preaching sermons at the Encounter Night - Shiloh 2020, Bishop David Oyedepo said that he stopped receiving salary from his church since December 1984,  he also proclaimed that  there is a difference between the blessings of the Lord and the blessings of the effort of man. 

The founder and presiding Bishop of the megachurch Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, and Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners' Chapel added: it is the blessing of God that makes a man rich and add no sorrow with it.

“We run our home like hotel. I have always had people living with me even when I was living in one room apartment. The last time I counted I had about 22 people working for me".

“I didn’t bring a dime into ministry. God is too big to help. Men are not the builders of Churches, God said he will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail. “I still sleep like a baby. I never asked God to enrich me, I only suçceeded in passing the test of sacrifice". 

Every child of God that works genuinely in the convenant have a great future. “Those saying these people are stealing will just rain curse of the Lord on themselves. Prosperity is not on what you are given but in what you give. “Many years ago, I told God if you ever bless me, I will build Churches”.
