Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo, the founder and president of Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners Chapel has announced a postponement in the dedication date of the highly anticipated Ark Legacy Project.
The revered cleric emphasized the need for a generational focus on delivering the monumental sanctuary at the highest level of excellence. Oyedepo explained that the project’s technical partners had requested additional time to complete critical installations, including escalators, which are already being installed at the site.
“I heard a word come to me saying: ‘Don’t sacrifice excellence for time.’ Our technical partners will require more time than earlier estimated. So, there will be a review of the date, and you will be informed later. Jesus is Lord.”
He further stressed the importance of patience and precision for what he described as a “generational project.”
“We need generational attention for such a generational project,” he added.
“It is a sanctuary that Jesus will meet when He comes. Therefore, we must ensure that it is completed with the best shape and the best strength.”
Oyedepo was quick to dispel any concerns regarding resources or funding for the project, affirming that the work continues to advance without financial pressure.
“The good news is that there is no short supply of anything. There is no financial stress anywhere. Jesus has always been the source and will remain so forever. To God be the glory. This is the truth and nothing but the truth,” he declared.
The Ark Legacy Project, a massive sanctuary being constructed to serve future generations of worshippers, has drawn significant attention globally for its scale and vision. The decision to postpone its dedication date underlines the church’s unwavering commitment to excellence and quality.
A new dedication date will be communicated on the dedication in due course.
The project which began about two years ago will be powered by 32 transformers. On completion, ‘The Ark’ will have 129 elevators, travelators and escalators which will move worshippers including elderly people and in other cases, challenged folks who require healing up and down the floor, 109,000 capacity bowl as well as the 5,000-capacity youth church and 20,000 seat children’s church.
The Dome will also draw 1 megawatt of solar energy to the facility while the roof is designed to gather rainwater to aid in flushing the 1,200 restrooms by gravity. There is a new megawatt power plant reported to be 80 MW will help to supply electricity to the whole of Canaanland including The Ark, Covenant University, Canaan City and possibly some parts of Ota in Ogun State.
