The founder and general overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, (a.k.a.

  TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) gathered that when Bishop Oyedepo inquired to know the name of the newly born son, according to him, God told him that “Another Warrior has come”. This led to the name ‘Oluwamakinde ‘ (God has brought victory).   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.”   The cleric married Kemi in 2008. He and his brother Isaac were ordained as pastors in May 2007 by US-based preacher Kenneth Copeland.
