Love Ogah, daughter of Bishop David Oyedepo, has shared a childhood experience involving a failed assassination attempt on her father, the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel.
Speaking during a church gathering, Love urged the congregation to cultivate a personal relationship with God, using the dramatic incident as a testimony of divine protection.
“I remember when we were growing up. I think I was in secondary school then. One particular night, we were visited in our house by hired killers. They came to our house and specifically stated from the gate that, ‘We are here to execute him.’ By him, they meant my father. Our house was like a war zone,” she recounted.
Describing how the attackers combed through their home, she continued:
“The most interesting thing that stuck with me since I was a child is that he was looking at them the entire time, but they couldn’t see him. They ransacked our house for hours. There was a time we hid behind the door, and they shut the door. The door hit my lips, and my top gum came off and was dangling.”
According to her, after hours of confusion and fear, something miraculous happened.
“My aunt came into the house and was crying, ‘Oh my God, I don’t know what would have happened, oh my God, where is he?’ And my father came out of his room. We all thought it was a movie. He said, ‘I was staring at them the entire time.’ They entered his room, ransacked everywhere, and he was looking, but they couldn’t find him. That image has never left my brain.”
She closed her message with a call for spiritual preparedness:
“When you are in the centre of God’s will for your life, challenges will come and test what you stand for. You can’t fake this thing forever. That’s why I’m begging, for your own destiny, know God for yourself, because the enemies that want to execute you are plenty. But when you are in God, you are coming from a place of victory. They can’t touch you.”
Bishop David Oyedepo has often preached on divine encounters and supernatural deliverance.
During previous Shiloh gatherings and sermons at Faith Tabernacle, the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, he has shared testimonies of miraculous interventions that have preserved both his life and ministry.
Founded in 1981, the Living Faith Church has since expanded into a global Christian movement with millions of members and branches in over 140 countries.
