President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide and Presiding Bishop of Faith Tabernacle, on his 70th birthday on Friday, September 27.
In a tribute signed by him on Thursday titled ‘President Tinubu Hails Bishop David Oyedepo At 70,’ Tinubu rejoiced with the entire Body of Christ, members of the Winner’s Chapel, home and abroad, and the family of the charismatic and visionary leader on the milestone, which deserves all the recognition and honour.
The President recognized the revered cleric worthy legacies in grooming leaders across all sectors of the economy who are inspired by the wisdom of the scriptures.
He noted Bishop Oyedepo’s and his church’s remarkable impact on millions through educational and health institutions.
President Tinubu also praised the influence of the highly resourceful and respected religious leader by teaching the Word of Faith, which, he said, “has stimulated the entrepreneurial spirit and reawakened a new movement for growth in Nigeria, Africa and beyond.”
“The President believes Bishop Oyedepo has consistently brought glory to the country with his teachings, publications, and worldwide missionary service and sought the betterment of the people by counselling leaders in the private and public sectors.
“President Tinubu shares the joy of celebrations with the Presiding Bishop, his wife, Faith Abiola, and all the biological and spiritual children. He prays to God for greater heights in the ministry,” the tribute read in part.
The President, therefore, prayed for the renowned preacher’s physical, mental and spiritual well-being as he continues to serve the nation and humanity.
