Ordination and Early Ministry
Bishop Oyedepo received a mandate from God through an 18-hour vision in May 1981, to liberate the world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith. This is the inaugural vision that led to the founding of the Living Faith Church World Wide, first called Liberation Faith Hour Ministries, in 1981. Two years later, on September 17, 1983, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), ordained David and his wife to become pastors and officially commissioned the new church. Five years after his ordination as a pastor, Bishop Oyedepo was ordained as Bishop in 1988.
Living Faith Church started in Kaduna but moved to Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria in July 1989 and blossomed from there.
