My salary as president, founder of this ministry was N300 per month — Bishop David Oyedepo

During the annual Shiloh gathering on Thursday, Bishop David Oyedepo—founder and presiding overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel)—shared a striking testimony about his early years in ministry. He disclosed that his monthly income, at a time when he served fully as the spiritual head of the ministry, was only N300, emphasizing total dependence on God throughout his journey.

Addressing thousands of worshippers in attendance, Bishop Oyedepo explained that stepping into full-time ministry required unwavering faith. He recounted how he trusted divine provision as he embraced the responsibilities of his calling without any human financial guarantee.

According to him, the turning point came when he questioned how he would survive after committing to full-time ministry. He said, “Jesus, who pays me now that I’m going into full-time ministry? And light came.”

This moment, he explained, marked a shift that strengthened his confidence in God as his ultimate source. The bishop further noted that this encounter inspired him to move forward with conviction, knowing that divine supply would always be sufficient.

Bishop Oyedepo’s reflection highlights his early sacrifices and unwavering faith—a principle he often teaches as the foundation for supernatural results. His story continues to inspire many who look up to him as a model of spiritual discipline, vision, and trust in God’s direction.
