The Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, has denied rumours that the founder of the church, Bishop David Oyedepo, was set to retire from active service.
The Nation reports that the Church’s Mandate Secretary, Pastor Yemi Nathaniel, said any such reports were not true.
According to him, “Every apostolic ministry like ours is a priestly commission and because priesthood is for a lifetime, his (Oyedepo) presidency and priesthood is for a lifetime.
“For those interested, the Red Book, The Mandate, explains our succession plan. The good news of generational success as promised by God for the righteous must be causing pains for the ignorant, the envious and the wicked. Refuse to be a part of propagating evil.”
According to the report, while operating as the resident pastor of the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, David Jnr will be saddled with the responsibility of overseeing the activities of the church worldwide.
