- In a blazing recent sermon, Bishop Oyedepo didn’t merely confront the wild claims and speculations about tithes to his church – he went on a full-blown offensive.
- With the fury of a storm, he ripped apart the accusations that he supposedly bragged about feasting on his congregation’s gifts, tithes, and offerings.
- He addressed the audacious allegations head-on, leaving no room for ambiguity or misinterpretation.
David Olaniyi Oyedepo, the renowned Nigerian preacher, founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, and Presiding Bishop of the Faith Tabernacle, has stepped into the spotlight to obliterate the rumors and whispers that he relies on his church members’ tithes to make ends meet.
In a recent Bible teaching program, captured on his church’s YouTube page, Oyedepo recounted a startling accusation from a female member who claimed he had said he couldn’t survive without the tithes and offerings from his congregation.
With a hearty laugh that echoed his utter disbelief and disdain, he dismantled these claims with an unshakable confidence.
He didn’t just dismiss the accusation; he annihilated it. Oyedepo declared, with fiery resolve, that he had been faithfully paying tithes long before this accuser even drew her first breath, showcasing his unwavering commitment to divine principles.
His eyes blazed with righteous indignation as he thundered that his sustenance flows not from the gifts of mere mortals but from the divine covenant practices revealed to him by God Almighty.

Meanwhile, the revered cleric recently rolled out the red carpet to welcome the esteemed Esther Ajayi, the Presiding Pastor of The Love of Christ Generation (C&S) Church, into his private office.
The atmosphere crackled with spiritual intensity as Pastor Ajayi entered. In a powerful display of humility and respect, she approached Oyedepo with a reverential prostration, her form gracefully descending to the floor before transitioning into a respectful kneel.
This profound act of deference did not go unnoticed. Oyedepo, visibly moved by her gesture, responded with a warmth that filled the room, extending his hand and offering her a seat with the utmost courtesy.
However, the scene took an unexpected turn. Despite Oyedepo’s courteous offer, Rev Esther Ajayi steadfastly refused to take the proffered chair. Her voice, filled with unwavering conviction, expressed her preference to remain on the floor.
