Critics Envy Winners Chapel, Many States Can’t Afford Our Project – Oyedepo

The Founder of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has gushed over the new international headquarters facility of his Church, stating that many states in the country do not have the means to embark on such a monumental construction.

Naija News reports that the facility, called The Ark is sited on about 1,000 hectares of land in Ota, Ogun State, and will upon completion, accommodate over 100,000 seats. It comprises a 24-floor mission tower made up of two twin towers of 12 floors each.

Addressing his congregation recently, Oyedepo said, “Except you are very spiritual, what is happening to us (in Winners’ Chapel) will anger you! The Ark project your church is running, many states (in Nigeria) cannot dare such a project. Where do they have the means?

“That (kind of) building is not (found) anywhere around here and humbly so around the world. The roof is 18 meters beyond the largest roof diameter in the world and there is no noise, there is no pressure. You need to be spiritual not to be bitter. You need to be very spiritual.”

“Anything said against our Church today, everybody knows it is out of envy,” the bishop added.
