The presiding Bishop of the Living Faith
Church, Bishop David Oyedepo is 60 today, and he has nothing but gratitude to “God
for all His mercies and goodness till date.”
In an interview granted to Punch and other Newspapers,
the man rated by Forbes as the richest pastor in Africa expressed his gratitude
to God for the gift of life:
“I’m simply grateful to God. I’ve always seen life as a gift
from God. Life is a privilege, not a right. No one brought himself or herself
to life and no one can sustain his or her life on their own. I’m just grateful
to God for all His goodness and mercy till date,”
On how his growing up was like,
the Bishop said:
“It was more of a school (period), growing under my
grandmother’s guidance was an experience I will be eternally grateful to God
for. She made a man out of me as a child. I was exposed to highly profitable
lessons such as character, hard work, focus and financial integrity. Under my
grandmother, you were not permitted to do what you liked but what was right.
Such upbringing gave me respect among my peers and audience with my superiors.
It is this man-child concept that informed the founding philosophy of our
university system.”
