Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church, better known as Winners Chapel Worldwide, said that he only celebrates his birthday once every ten years.
Oyedepo, Africa’s richest preaching pastor, stated during a sermon that he does not have time to celebrate his birthday annually, claiming that he typically forgets his birthdays owing to activity.
To achieve tremendous heights, he believes that one must focus on hard labor, emphasizing that only diligent workers soar higher in the race of life.
He said, “For lack of time, I can only celebrate birthday once in ten years. Any other day that you greet me regarding birthday, you are on your own.
“Only hard workers emerge as high fliers in the race of life. People are so lazy today that food is their uppermost priority. They sit down around food as if it is their enthronement”.
The 67-year-old gospel preacher celebrated his last birthday on September 27, 2021.
