Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, commonly known as Winners Chapel, has announced that the Federal Government has approved the construction of an airstrip at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.
Oyedepo made the announcement during the Tehillah Night Special Edition at Covenant University Chapel in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, on Sunday. He expressed enthusiasm for the development, which will allow him to travel directly from the church premises without needing to first fly to the airport.
“I am sure you will be glad to know that the Federal Government has approved an airstrip for Canaanland. I won’t need to fly a helicopter to the airport. I can leave from here to wherever I am going. Members with their planes will have where to land and park,” he stated.
The newly approved airstrip is expected to enhance transportation for worshippers and visitors, particularly during large events that attract thousands from around the globe.
In his address, Oyedepo encouraged his congregation to find their place in God’s plan, highlighting the achievements of Covenant University graduates who now serve as pilots. “Won’t you be glad to know that there are some captains that fly me who are graduates of Covenant University? We don’t have an aviation department here, but they found their place in God and went after it,” he said.
He emphasized that the university is designed to help students locate and pursue their divine purpose, urging young people not to waste their lives, as they do not have a spare. “This university is all about allowing you to locate God’s plan and pursue it accordingly. Young people, don’t play away your life; you don’t have a spare,” Oyedepo concluded.
