NAIJ exclusive: See Bishop Oyedepo’s gigantic mansion in his hometown in Kwara (photos)
Bishop Oyedepo, founder and general overseer of the living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel) is a cleric who is widely respected all over the world.
He is also a cleric who believes poverty is not meant for the children of God and who has consistently preached the principles of prosperity throughout the world.
The respected man of God who recently came under verbal attack from a cross section of Nigerians when he notably remarked that God will not open the windows of heaven for people who don't pay their tithes, has, however, continued to manifest his preaching with his living standard.
