The Eight Spiritual Sons Of Bishop Oyedepo & Their Mega Ministries | Digitalk World

When Bishop David Oyedepo said, "If you want to go further, then you get a father, and the

blessed memory of Archbishop Benson Idahosa said," If an antelope has the lion's backing, it can confront an elephant, "they only confirmed the old bible tradition that Moses had seen Jethro, Samuel had Eli, Prophet Elisha had Prophet Elijah, and Timothy had Paul." Having been mentored by Kenneth Copeland, the late Kenneth Hagin, E. W. Kenyon, T. L. Osborn, Smith Wigglesworth, as well as renowned Nigerian preachers Enoch Adeboye and the late Benson Idahosa, Bishop David Oyedepo is currently playing a "fatherly role" for many emerging Christian leaders, and most of these spiritual sons have the largest ministries in Nigeria.

These sons are popular faces in Winners Chapel conferences and the same grace upon Winners Chapel is evident in their individual ministries. This can be seen in the way that everything running in Bishop Oyedepo 's ministry seems to be repeated.

1.Dr Enenche

Dr. Enenche is the Senior Pastor of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, which is located along the airport road, Abuja, at the Lords Garden headquarters. He comes from the state of Benue and is a qualified medical practitioner. On November 10, 1996, he founded the Dunamis International Gospel Center and the church is currently the largest ministry in FCT and one of the largest in the world. Dr. Enenche stated that in an audiotape entitled "Unleashing the Mystery of the Spiritual Realms," he first learned of Bishop Oyedepo, and before he encountered him one by one, Oyedepo typically appeared to him in his nightly dreams, anointing him with oil.

He also disclosed that Bishop Oyedepo ordered him not to start the project until he had placed the building plan before him before the Dunamis auditorium was erected. And Bishop Oyedpo was on-hand to bless the project before the building was erected. Another study also said that Pastor Enenche was advised by Bishop Oyedepo to increase his initial proposal to expand the capacity of the Glory Dome project from 75,000 to 100,000.

Pastor Enenche would always say, "Only the devil may affirm that my father's (Oyedepo) genetics and chromosomes are inside me,"

2.Pastor David Ibiyeomie

Pastor David Ibiyeomie is the founder and senior pastor of Salvation Ministries with headquarter in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. After completing his Bible School education at the Word of Faith Bible Institute (WOFBI) of Bishop David Oyedepo, Ibiyeomie started a house fellowship in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria with his kin. He later moved to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where, on April 13, 1997, he began Salvation Ministries (Glorious Chapel), attended by a little over twenty members.

In July 1997, in G.R.A. Phase 1, Port Harcourt, the church moved to a larger plot of land on Birabi Lane. The church is holding seven services today and is about building its church auditorium, which will be the world's largest. Initially, the Salvation Ministries Church project, which started in 2010, was planned to hold 40,000 worshipers. However, with the massive expansion of the Church that led to the opening of more than 50 satellite churches in Port Harcourt, including the opening of 13 on a single day in 2016, coupled with the prodding of Bishop David Oyedepo to do 'better than his father' by David Ibiyeomie's father in the Lord, Ibiyeomie was encouraged to expand the building's capacity.

Previous estimates of the church project had the expansion at 100,000 capacity, but it is officially expected to become the largest church auditorium in the world with plans to expand to around 120,000 and the metal roofing covering an area of 50,000m2, which is more than double the span of the Glory Dome of Dunamis 'at 22,148m2.

3.Pastor Sam Adeyemi

One Saturday morning, Pastor Sam Adeyemi dreamed of seeing Bishop Oyedepo and his wife planting a tree in a new position in the church, and he saw a huge crowd rushing to that spot. He realized when he woke up that it was a vision from Heaven. That was the genesis of Pastor Sam Adeyemi 's friendship with Bishop Oyedepo, his mentor. But despite this encounter, in the first three years of Daystar, growth was sluggish. That prompted him to go and see Bishop David Oyedepo, his "father." He said to him, 'What do you do after everything you know has been tried and the church has failed to grow? 'Bishop Oyedepo said,' Look, growth is seasonal,' and he quoted Galatians 6:9, which says let us not get tired of doing well because, if we don't faint, we will reap in due season.

Today, on Ikosi Road, Lagos, Daystar Christian Centre sits on the top of a hectare of land. Within a short time, with over 25,000 members, the ministry had begun five services , making it one of the most attended churches in Lagos State on Sundays. The relationship between the father and son has grown in leaps and bounds with the bishop publicly referring to Pastor Adeyemi as one of his favorite sons in ministry .Pastor Adeyemi too has become a frequent keynote speaker at the Covenant University Special Programmes on Character Growth and National Transformation
