Oyedepo reveals lifelong vow to build 1,000 churches before death

Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has revealed a deeply personal vow he made to God to build 1,000 churches before leaving the earth.

Speaking during a recent sermon, Bishop Oyedepo shared the spiritual commitment he made long before his ministry became a global force. According to him, the vow was made during a time when he didn’t even have a bank account, underscoring the depth of his faith and vision.

“Before I had the first bank account, I said, ‘Jesus, if you ever bless me, I want to be part of building new churches.’

“How many have heard that before? You have always heard everything,” he said.

He emphasised the depth of his commitment by revealing his desire to have a tangible legacy of service on earth.

He added, ,”I told Jesus, I don’t want to come to heaven without a thousand churches built in your name.”

Oyedepo also challenged his congregation to reflect on their dedication and willingness to serve God, citing examples of unused resources.

“Some may even have buses that are doing nothing on Sunday, but they won’t bring them out.

“Because, ah, N2,000 per half litre. If it’s in your heart, go put it in your heart,” he said.

While encouraging his listeners to take spiritual responsibility, he concluded, ”Over to you, you better wake up.

“Can I tell you something? Everybody’s a reflection of where he belongs.

“It’s time you start reflecting what happens in here.”
