The children of Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor Faith Oyedepo took to Instagram on Thursday to celebrate their parents’ 43rd wedding anniversary, sharing radiant photos of the couple dressed in elegant white traditional attire.
“Happy 43rd Wedding Anniversary to our parents, Bishop David and Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo,” the post read. “We give God glory for your marriage! Thank you for showing us that a lasting, hitch-free marriage is possible. We pray that the Lord will continue to uphold you, and that your home will keep reflecting His glory and beauty, drawing multitudes to the kingdom. Congratulations Sir & Ma.”
The Oyedepos, who tied the knot in 1982, have been blessed with four children: David Jr., Isaac, Love, and Joyce.
Bishop Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel), also serves as Chancellor of Covenant University and Landmark University. In 2011, Forbes magazine named him the richest pastor in Nigeria.
Pastor Faith Oyedepo, reflecting on marriage in an earlier message to singles, urged them not to rush into wedlock out of pressure. “Don’t manage to marry and don’t hurry to marry because those who do end up in regret. Understand that a really good catch may not make a really good match,” she advised.
