The recent road repairs currently being undertaken will cost the Living Faith Church Worldwide otherwise known as Winners Chapel, a whooping sum of N650 million naira (about $2 million). The roads which cover the old toll gate bordering Lagos and Ogun States as well as stretches of the Idi-Iroko expressway from Oju Ore to Iyana Iyesi as well as Sango itself began to undergo repairs as executed by the Church recently.
Traveling along the road to the border as well as Agbara and other towns had become a harrowing experience for both worshippers at the Church and non-worshippers alike every day of the week. This led the Church to intervene in order to give the people a respite.
This is not the first of such interventions, however it is the biggest single intervention till date and has helped in no small measure per time to relieve road users.
Bishop Oyedepo announced that the sum of N650 million was approved and released for the repairs, adding that Canaanland where the Church is situated is the birthplace of giants where many have gotten their spiritual and physical needs met for the past 20 years.
Bishop Oyedepo isn’t only big on philanthropic works, he has also chosen to obey scriptural injunction of ‘doing it in secret’. He’s one man that will not publicize what he gives to people publicly. Sadly beneficiaries of his benevolence also do a poor job sharing this.
For instance, over 80% of pioneer students of Landmark University students were on scholarship varying 25-100%, most of whom enjoyed 100% scholarship till graduation. This doesn’t include scholarship enjoyed by CU students. The same applied to subsequent sets in the college of agriculture, till it was lately channeled through the David Oyedepo foundation due to the gross abuse by its beneficiaries.
The church once gave 120 million naira in non interest soft loans to small businesses owners, the idea was upon return others could benefit from this, sadly most persons didn’t return it hence it couldn’t be sustained.
These are few examples of many of the things the Bishop does, but he will never broadcast it for people’s applause. He’s dead to both the praise and censure of men.
