Oyedepo shares secret behind marriage
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Bishop David Oyedepo drew both laughter and conviction at the Annual Youth Convention held at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, after delivering a pointed message to married men who resort to violence and verbal abuse at home.
In a video posted to Instagram on Friday, 28 August 2026, the founder of Living Faith Church offered a mix of sharp humour and serious counsel, drawing from his own 44-year marriage as a reference point.
The cleric was blunt in his rebuke of domestic violence, telling the congregation that a man who raises his hand against his wife has no business doing so at home.
