President Bola Tinubu has extended warm greetings to founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (LFCWW) and Senior Pastor of Faith Tabernacle, Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo, on his 71st birthday.
The President, in a release issued on Friday by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, joined family members, congregants, staff of David Oyedepo Ministries International (DOMI) and Body of Christ to celebrate with the Presiding Bishop of LFCWW (Winners Chapel), who stands as a towering figure of influence and impact in Nigeria, Africa and beyond on spiritual, educational and philanthropic platforms.
President Tinubu commended Bishop Oyedepo’s focus, discipline, and diligence over the years which have translated into the realisation of the ministry’s global vision since 1982, with a resonating impact on the economies of many cities, states, and countries, particularly on infrastructure, health, and education.
The President affirmed the positive influence of the educational institutions from primary to tertiary levels, like the Kingdom Heritage Schools (Primary), Faith Academy (Secondary), and two universities, Covenant and Landmark, which are all deliberately structured on total human development, with emphasis on skills and entrepreneurship.
According to President Tinubu “You have built one of Africa’s most impactful Christian ministries from humble beginnings. Your steadfastness in the Word of Faith ministry is exemplary, birthing many ministries with resonating impact on key sectors of the economy.
“Your establishment of Covenant University and Landmark University continues to raise the standard of education, competing favorably with other global institutions.
“Your contributions to nation-building through preaching and teaching of faith, discipline, and service remain deeply appreciated by our government. At a time when our nation continues to draw strength from moral and spiritual leaders, you have remained a pacesetter and symbol of a servant leader for many to emulate,” the President notes.
The President prayed that the Almighty God will grant Bishop Oyedepo longer life, good health and wisdom to lift more individuals, families and nations with the Word of Faith.
