……as Winners Chapel  also plan to establish 10,000 churches before the end of the year 2020

Bishop David Abioye, the Vice President of Living Faith Church, Worldwide, explained on Sunday, in Abuja, that the church has expended over N1.6 billion in different scholarships to beneficiaries.

Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, run two Universities in Nigeria. The institutions are: Covenant University and Landmark University. They also manage Faith Academy a secondary school, as well as primary schools known as Kingdom Heritage Model Schools across the country.

Church planting

Bishop Abioye also revealed that, as at end of last week, no fewer than 1,600 new churches were planted across the country, stating that the target is 10,000 churches before the end of the year.

He explained that most people may not know about these interventions because the church is not quick at making such information public for certain reasons which are in line with the instructions on the Bible.

Furthermore, Bishop Abioye, who spoke during Sunday service at Living Faith Church, Goshen, Abuja, called forth the anger of God on political leaders who have looted Nigeria’s resources, hence making the people live in poverty and underdevelopment.

Heavenly judgement

Referring to the recent revelations at the House of Representatives probe on the finances of the Niger Delta Development Agency (NDDC), Abioye reassured Nigerians that heavenly judgment will soon visit those who are perpetrators in the mismanagement of the resources of Nigeria and are walking free on the streets.

On the issue of donations

In the mean time, he explained that deep system corruption was the main reason why the church failed to make donation to government as regards the fight against COVID-19. “We prefer to reach out to the people that need the interventions directly instead of handing over to government, and some people would loot it.” he said

He further stated: “Check out those that donated, they are people who are looking for one thing or the other from government. They give because they want something in return. We give and don’t expect anything in return, and that’s why we give directly to people that need them.”
