We Are Now Changing Planes Like Bicycles – Bishop Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo, presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church Worldwide has said that his church is now changing planes like bicycles because of God’s blessings.

Oyedepo, in one of his sermons, said when God first told him that he was going to fly, he and his church never pursued it with human energy.

“God told us we are going to fly, if He left us to plan to fly, it wont enter our budget in the next 10 years. We are just changing planes like we change bicycles because His blessings make us rich and add no sorrow.

“We didn’t confess, we didn’t pray, pray for plane to do what? They asked me, which kind of plane and I said any kind. I don’t know the name of any because I wasn’t shopping for it,” he said.

Oyedepo said some people are praying very hard for plane, but said even if they acquired it, it was better they sell it on time because “by the time they bring the bill for you in a month, you will say, Oh God, what is this? But when it is your turn, it is your turn.”

On the Ark Project, Oyedepo said the church had not announced any offering in Canaanland or branches of the church.

“The dollar-to-naira rate has tumbled and tumbled, but the blessings have tumbled too. There is no forex input from outside Nigeria on the Ark Project, yet there is no pressure on anybody.

On tithes, the bishop said John D. Rockefeller was a tither, saying he ended up the first American billionaire in history.

“People don’t lack what they give, they only lack what they keep. He was tithe raised, tithe groomed and tithe sustained.

Oyedepo is reputed to be the richest pastor in Nigeria, with a net worth of over $150 million.

He has a fleet of fleet of four jets, which includes a Gulfstream V, costing $30 million.
