I join millions of faithful around the world to celebrate the Founder and Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Dr. David Oyedepo, on his 71st birthday.
Bishop Oyedepo remains a rare gift to Christendom — a father of faith, a visionary leader, and a role model whose teachings, prayers, and mentorship continue to shape generations within and beyond Nigeria. His pioneering work in ministry and education, including the establishment of Covenant and Landmark Universities, stands as enduring legacies of excellence and moral upbringing.
On behalf of my family, the Government, and the good people of Delta State, I heartily congratulate Bishop Oyedepo on this remarkable milestone. We celebrate your unwavering devotion to God’s work, your commitment to nation-building, and your impact on youth empowerment through quality education.
I pray that God grants you sound health, renewed strength, and many more years of impactful service in His vineyard and to humanity.
