Oyedepo prayed for his son’s increase in his social media post. He said, “Happy birthday Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr @officialdavidoyedepojnr May the grace of God over your life be on the increase in Jesus’ name, Amen. Congratulations!”
Faith also made a similar prayer for her son. She said, “Happy birthday to my beloved son and our Resident Pastor at Faith Tabernacle Canaanland @officialdavidoyedepojnr Receive fresh grace for greater impact in Jesus’ name, amen! Congratulations.”
