GIST AROUND THE TABERNACLE: The Other Side Of Papa!

It is obvious that Bishop David Oyedepo, fondly called ‘Papa’ is blessed of God in all ramifications. He is celebrated worldwide and held in high esteem. He is a great man of God, an influential leader, educator par excellence (Chancellor of two Universities- Covenant University and Landmark University). And behind that fiery Preacher you see on the altar, is an awesome father who loves his family so much. But that’s not all; there is something delightsomely different about this 60-year-old wealthy preacher.

You won’t believe what FT News gathered about this humble man with a deep sense of meekness! At the recently held Pastors’ meeting in May 2015, it beat some people’s imagination that Bishop Oyedepo, slept in one of the halls of residence in Covenant University alongside other top-ranking pastors in the ministry including Bishop David Abioye, Bishop Thomas Aremu and others for the duration of the meeting (four days). Who would have thought that he would leave the comfort of his ‘king size’ bed for a ‘student size’ bed in the hostel of a University? Well, he is truly a leader who leads by example.
